By Jerry Mackey MAQUOKETA, Iowa (Aug. 22, 2026) — Shane Paris and Joe Huenefeld split the weekend’s Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature victories at Maquoketa Speedway, with Paris delivering when it mattered most in Saturday night’s season championship finale. Paris entered the night holding a slim two-point advantage over Spencer Diercks and Wes Digman in the track championship chase.

Rognlin Rallies From 12th for Grays Harbor Modified Victory

By Shaun Hulbert ELMA, Wash. (Aug. 22, 2026) — Olympia’s Austin Rognlin charged from 12th starting to capture the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature Saturday night at Grays Harbor Raceway, earning his first victory since Aug. 5, 2023. Jake Sorenson took command on lap six and set the pace out front, but Rognlin was steadily working his way through the field. The 2022 Grays Harbor Raceway rookie of the year completed his charge on lap 12, powering into the lead before sailing away with the victory. Sorenson crossed the finish line second but was moved back two positions following a droop rule infraction. That elevated ninth-starting Brenton Schnitzer to second and Craig Moore to third after beginning the race eighth, with Sorenson credited with fourth and Devon Reed fifth. Hudson Shoemaker and Reed were the heat race winners earlier in the night. The event was broadcast live on IMCA TV affiliate Grays Harbor Raceway TV.

Danley Charges From 10th to Eagle Sprint Car Victory

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (Aug. 22, 2026) — As Creedence Clearwater Revival once sang, and as Anthony Ainsle often says, “Nighttime is the Right Time,” and both rang true Saturday night as the Eagle Shootout took center stage at Eagle Raceway. Brad Schreiner led the opening lap of the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature before Tyler Hendrickson moved to the front on lap three. Hendrickson remained in command through a lap 11 caution, but former Eagle track champion Joey Danley was ready to strike. Danley, who started 10th, got a huge run on the restart and surged past Hendrickson for the lead. Cole Wayman worked his way into third, while Gaige Weldon charged from 19th to fourth. Danley stayed out front the rest of the way to earn his third victory of the season and first at Eagle in 2026. Hendrickson finished second, Wayman was third, Weldon fourth, and Tyler Drueke completed the top five.

Jordan Tocci: Three Generations of Racers from Three Forks

By Ben Deatherage THREE FORKS, Mont. (Aug. 13, 2026) — Three rivers wind through the broad valleys of southwest Montana, cutting across a landscape framed by mountains and seemingly endless stretches of open country. Here, the Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin converge to form the Missouri River. The same country has been home to Indigenous peoples for generations, witnessed the passage of Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea, and provided the setting for the legendary escape of fur trapper John Colter. More than two centuries later, the country surrounding Three Forks still carries much of the rugged character of the American West. For Jordan Tocci, it is simply home. “The area is so historic with the whole Lewis and Clark history and everything where the rivers come together to make the Missouri,” Tocci said. “It’s cool historically, and you dive deeper in the history of the tribes that lived here and Sacagawea. It’s a really cool part of the world.” It’s also where another history has been unfolding for three generations. Tocci’s grandfather Ray returned from service with [Read More]
