Woods Rockets to Second Straight Outagamie Modified Win

By Joe Orsini SEYMOUR, Wis. (Jul. 4, 2025) – As the calendar flipped from June to July, temperatures rose—and so did the excitement at Outagamie Speedway. The Friesen Performance IMCA Modified main event saw Cody Schroeder lead the opening lap from the front row. That lead was short-lived, though, as Skyler Woods blasted the high side on lap two and rocketed into the top spot. Woods was able to fend off all challengers over the balance of the race to secure his second consecutive win at Outagamie and in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Schroeder finished second with Dylan Waldvogel rounding out the podium in third. Stedjee Survives Late Caution to Score First Stock Car Win of 2025 Dylan Stedjee pulled away from the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car field at the drop of the green from his pole position starting spot.

Schnitzer Scores Grays Harbor Win, Takes Over Modified Points Lead

By Shaun Hulburt ELMA, Wash. (Jun. 28, 2025) — Jason Tole showed early speed by leading the opening lap of the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Grays Harbor Raceway, but Brenton Schnitzer stole the spotlight with a thrilling move on lap one. Schnitzer executed a daring two-for-one pass to take second, then quickly powered into the lead on lap two. From there, he was never challenged en route to his second win of the 2025 season at GHR and in the Shaw Race Cars Western Region. Zane Miner had a determined drive, rallying from 10th despite front-end damage that left parts dangling from his machine. Miner made it to second but ran out of time to track down Schnitzer. Jake Sorenson rounded out the podium in third. With back-to-back tough nights for Tyson Blood, Schnitzer now holds the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified point lead at Grays Harbor by just two markers. The event was broadcast live on IMCA TV affiliate Grays Harbor Raceway TV. Catch every lap again with the IMCA TV Replay Subscription, available for [Read More]

Wyssbrod Breaks Through at Angell Park for First Career Modified Win

By Ben Deatherage SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. (Jun. 29, 2025) – Brandon Schmitt looked poised to become a three-time winner at Angell Park Speedway on Sunday night, but Monroe’s Trent Wyssbrod had other plans. Schmitt took the lead from Hayden Schmuhl on lap two of the 20-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature and led through the race’s only caution on lap six. Wyssbrod applied steady pressure following the restart and ran door-to-door with Schmitt for multiple laps before dropping back with about 10 to go. But lapped traffic changed everything with two laps remaining. Both Schmitt and Wyssbrod cleared the slower cars cleanly, but Wyssbrod got the run he needed and drove underneath the two-time King of the Park winner on the backstretch coming to the white flag. He would lead at both the white and checkered flags to secure his first-ever IMCA Modified victory and a $1,000 payday in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Wyssbrod started third in the feature. Schmitt settled for a strong runner-up finish, with Derek Thompson completing the top three. The [Read More]

Cody Kalmer: Digging Deep On and Off the Track

By Ben Deatherage WINNEMUCCA, Nev. (Jul. 2, 2025) — For Cody Kalmer, every lap behind the wheel is built on grit — both on the dirt and deep underground. The Friesen Performance IMCA Modified driver from Winnemucca, Nevada, spends the middle of the week more than a mile below the earth’s surface as an underground gold miner. Come the weekend, he’s racing above ground, chasing checkered flags at tracks like Winnemucca Regional Raceway, Summit Raceway in Elko, and Lovelock Speedway. “I got to run Lovelock once in 2020 and then they shut down,” said Kalmer. “So I was excited they came back a few years ago. My friend Zach Cail and his stepdad Brett Wilkins have done a great job running that place, and Jeff Olschewka is giving us a great surface.” Kalmer’s journey into racing began not behind the wheel, but behind the fence. “I was never really part of the racing community. I used to just watch here at Winnemucca and thought, ‘You know what, it’d be cool to get a car of my [Read More]

Meirhofer Masters MODtana Madness in $5,000 Modified Thriller at Gallatin

By Ben Deatherage BELGRADE, Mont. (Jun. 28, 2025) — Jeremy Meirhofer came out on top of a wild 55-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature to win the 2025 edition of MODtana Madness at Gallatin Speedway and earn the $5,000 payday. Two-time Montana State champion Cory Craver paced the field early, grabbing the lead on lap one and holding firm through several interruptions. Craver navigated lapped traffic by lap eight and held back a strong charge from two-time and reigning track champion Jordan Tocci following a caution on lap 14. A scheduled fuel stop at lap 23 briefly reset the field. On the restart, Craver kept Tocci behind him again before another pair of cautions on laps 28 and 34 bunched up the pack. Craver took advantage of the battle between Tocci and four-time Montana State champion and five-time Gallatin Speedway titlist Jeremy Meirhofer to extend his lead. Tocci eventually cleared Meirhofer and caught Craver, making a pass for the lead on lap 46. Craver immediately countered with a crossover in turns three and four, but a [Read More]

Andersen Slices Through the Field for Modified Glory at Eagle

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (Jun. 28, 2025) — Chad Andersen was on a mission in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Eagle Raceway. Cameron Thompson led the opening circuits with Tyler Harr close behind, but all eyes were on Andersen, who steadily picked off cars one by one. He cracked the top three by lap five and slipped into second a few laps later. By lap 12, he powered around Thompson for the lead and immediately began to stretch it out. From there, Andersen hit his marks and left the rest of the field to battle behind him. Harr gave chase but never closed the gap as the laps clicked off. Thompson stayed solid in third to round out the podium. The win marked Andersen’s second of the season at Eagle and in the Jet Racing Central Region column. Richards Rallies Late for Fourth Stock Car Win The Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature turned into a mid-race slugfest, and Mason Richards was up for the challenge. He worked his way forward after early leader [Read More]

Berry Blazes Field in Marshalltown Modified Main Event

By Kaden Krebs MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (Jun. 27, 2025) — The nightcap proved to be a scorcher as the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds roared onto the track. Dustin Kroening sat on the pole, with Jake McBirnie to his outside. But it was Marshalltown native Tom Berry Jr. who made quick work of the field, grabbing the lead early and leaving the rest behind. Berry cruised to a dominant win in the 20-lap finale, while Kollin Hibdon and McBirnie completed the podium. The win was Berry’s third of the season, coming at three different tracks, with two scored in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Carter Slides to SportMod Supremacy Fans were treated to a slide-job clinic in the Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMods. Kaden Rice of Mitchellville started from the pole with Boone’s Matt Avila alongside. Avila led early, but caution flags gave Brayton Carter the openings he needed. The two traded sliders in spectacular fashion before Carter finally cleared Avila and held on for the win. Will Wolf placed third. It marked Carter’s 19th win of the [Read More]

Money Masters Modified Main at Thomas County

By Sheldon Wickwar COLBY, Kan. (Jun. 28, 2025) — The Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds headlined the Saturday night program at Thomas County Speedway, with Danny Keller and John Burrow setting the pace on the front row. Burrow jumped to the early lead but quickly came under fire from Dylan Sherfick and Kyle Rohleder, two of the fastest Modified shoes in the state. The trio battled tightly for the top spot until a caution flew on lap four for a spin by Eddie Belec. Rohleder led the field back to green, but Clay Money had other plans. Charging up from deeper in the pack, Money powered to the lead by lap seven and began pulling away as Sherfick and Rohleder fought behind him. Once clear, Money stretched his advantage and never looked back, scoring his third Jet Racing Central Region win of 2025 and second at Colby. Sherfick finished second, followed by Rohleder in third. Olmstead Adds to Hobby Stock Win Total The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock feature saw Bruce Plumisto and Alicia Hilzer bring the field [Read More]

By Candice Martin ANTIOCH, Calif. (Jun. 28, 2025) — Troy Foulger of Oakley won the 20-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. The $1,000 payday came as part of the 10th annual Jerry Hetrick Memorial and marked Foulger’s third career win in the event. It was also his second IMCA Modified victory of the season at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds track, his fifth Shaw Race Cars Western Region triumph of 2025, and his 80th combined career win at the speedway. Looking to repeat as the winner, Andrew Pearce set the early pace ahead of Foulger, but a yellow flag waved for Tyler Browne of Antioch on lap 2. Pearce maintained the lead on the restart with Foulger and Bobby Hogge IV in pursuit. The front two began to pull away from the pack until Foulger made an outside pass on the frontstretch on lap 6 to take over the top spot. A caution flew on lap 8 for Jacob Mallet Jr., bunching the field again. Foulger resumed the lead with Hogge [Read More]
