Conner Edges Heath for First Career Win in Maquoketa SportMod Thriller

By Jerry Mackey MAQUOKETA, Iowa (May 31, 2025) — A beautiful night greeted race fans at Maquoketa Speedway, where the ¼-mile oval produced thrilling action across all five IMCA-sanctioned divisions — including tight finishes and a memorable first-time winner in the Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMods. Patric Conner led early in what turned out to be the race of the night, but multiple challengers kept him in striking distance throughout the 17-car main event. The closing laps featured a three-way scrap with Levi Heath and Jarrett Franzen, building to a dramatic, near-dead heat at the white flag. Conner stuck to the high line, Heath rolled the bottom, and at the stripe it was Conner — by just .061 seconds — scoring his long-awaited first career feature win. Heath settled for a narrow second, with Franzen right behind in third. Graduation Day Glory for Late Model Pilot Bodin It was a day to remember for Jesse Bodin of Silvis, Illinois.

Garnhart Scores First Official 2025 Davenport Win

By Mike McGuire DAVENPORT, Iowa (May 30, 2025) — Redemption was on the line for Bryce Garnhart Friday night at Davenport Speedway. The Lanark, Illinois driver had initially won the opening night feature, only to be disqualified when his car came up light at the scales. This time, there was no question. Garnhart took control early in the Sunoco IMCA Late Model feature, grabbing the lead from his front-row starting spot. Late in the race, Logan Veloz began closing in on the leader, but a caution with two laps to go changed everything. During the yellow, Veloz’s engine began overheating and he was forced to pit. On the restart, Garnhart pulled away unchallenged and captured his first official win of the season at Davenport. Dustin Smith capitalized on the restart to pass Andy Nezworski for second place. Diercks Drives to Third Davenport Modified Win In Friesen Performance IMCA Modified action, Spencer Diercks notched his third win at Davenport this season.

By Ben Deatherage WEST BURLINGTON, Iowa (May 10, 2025) — Evan Miller showcased his mastery of the high line to score his first Sunoco IMCA Late Model victory of the season at 34 Raceway. Jeremy Pundt led the early circuits, building a comfortable lead before a caution midway through the $1,000-to-win, 25-lap main reset the field and erased his advantage. Miller, the reigning Iowa State champion, capitalized on a mid-race restart to power around Jeremy Pundt on the high side, taking command on lap 14. A late caution with three laps to go bunched the field, but the Davenport driver maintained his momentum up top, fending off Curtis Glover to secure his first win of the 2025 season at 34 Raceway after starting fifth. Pundt, who led the early laps, rounded out the podium in third after a solid showing.
