By Jane Burd BOONE, Iowa (Aug. 8, 2026) — Cody Laney used lapped traffic to his advantage in the closing laps to charge from ninth starting and score a dramatic Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified victory Saturday night at Boone Speedway.

By Mike McGuire DAVENPORT, Iowa (Aug. 6, 2026) — One night remains in the regular season at Davenport Speedway, and several intriguing storylines are set to be decided when Season Championship Night takes center stage on Friday, Aug. 14.
