Nezworski Navigates to Second Late Model Win of Season

By Mike McGuire DAVENPORT, Iowa (Jun. 27, 2025) — Andy Nezworski picked up his second Sunoco IMCA Late Model feature win of the season at Davenport Speedway. Andy started the 25-lap main from the eighth position. After being mired in fifth for 10 laps, Nezworski used a lower line than others and began to move forward. With five laps to go, Andy got under race leader Dustin Smith. Once Nezworski cleared Smith, he pulled away. Smith held on for second with C.J. Horn taking third in a race that saw no caution flags. Paris Pounces Early in Modified Main Shane Paris scored his first Friesen Performance IMCA Modified victory at Davenport. Paris led all 20 laps of the main after starting in the third position.

Mod Lites of Arkansas Raise Donations for Northeast Arkansas Humane Society

By Rif Clair PARAGOULD, Ark. (Jun. 21, 2025) — The Mod Lites of Arkansas hosted its third annual Racing For The Paws event Saturday night at Crowley’s Ridge Raceway. The event featured both Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lite action and a donation drive benefiting the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society, which collected pet supplies and cleaning products. “This event is special to us as we not only get to bring Mod Lite racing to a new audience in a near-capacity setting, but we also get to do something for a great organization that helps displaced animals find their fur-ever home,” said promoter Bryce Vowan. “Our signature trophy for the event, The Paw, has become a very sought-after item for every racer’s trophy case.” Before the start of the racing program, Paul Alban displayed his no. 74a Sidewinder Chassis atop the hill near the entrance, allowing fans and fellow drivers to drop off donations of pet food, cleaning products, and toys.

Gustin Grabs Three Wins in One Night at Boone

By Coty Mallicoat BOONE, Iowa (Jun. 21, 2025) — Boone Speedway delivered a jam-packed doubleheader with 188 racecars in the pits for Farley Tire Smackdown and Hawkeye Challenge night. Rain had postponed the June 14 Smackdown program, setting up a rare two-show Saturday — and Jimmy Gustin stole the spotlight with a sweep of three feature victories across two classes. In the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified makeup feature, Gustin jumped from the second row and never looked back. The veteran driver fended off strong runs by Greg Elliott and Trevor Fitz. It was Gustin’s first Modified win of 2025 in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Switching machines in the infield, Gustin returned for the makeup Sunoco IMCA Stock Car main and wheeled from seventh to the lead. Doug Smith and Devin Smith challenged lap after lap, but Gustin stood tall. The Stock Car finale might have been the race of the night. Jeff Mueller led early with Jay Schmidt in pursuit, but Gustin charged from 12th to the lead as the laps wound down. Jake [Read More]
