Bryan Compart: Keeping Racers on Track with Stealth Racing

By Ben Deatherage MADRID, Iowa — Madrid sits just northwest of Des Moines, a town with roots that run deep. First settled by Swedes in the 1840s and later shaped by coal mining and farming, it carries the grit of generations who worked the land and the mines. It’s the kind of place where hard work is expected, and pride comes from what you build with your own hands. For Bryan Compart, that backdrop shaped his own story. Racing didn’t begin in the driver’s seat. It started with late nights in the shop, helping friends, and spotting opportunities others overlooked. What began as lending a hand soon grew into a passion — and eventually, a business that would change his life and leave its own mark on the Mod Lite world. “I ended up getting started in racing by helping people out,” he said. “I was helping Jimmy and Josh May since 2014 when I first met them. I noticed things they needed that you couldn’t just buy at a race shop. You either had to [Read More]

Super Nationals Mod Lite Qualifier Goes to Choate Before Rain Washes Out Night

By Ben Deatherage BOONE, Iowa (Aug. 31, 2025) — The Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lites brought another strong field to Boone Speedway for Qualifier 3 at the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. It was the last chance to qualify, with 25 laps on the line and the top 10 finishers securing spots in the outside row of the Big Dance. Kaden Cochran took the lead on lap one in the Cory Sonner-owned no. 47X. Cochran, originally from California and now based in Missouri, paced the field while 2023 Super Nationals winner Ronnie Choate of Tennessee and 2025 track champion Austin Gray began reeling him in. Their battle for position let Cochran briefly pull away until Choate used the inside lane to grab the lead on lap nine. Once the leaders hit lapped traffic, Choate slipped away and built a commanding advantage before a lap-18 caution slowed the field. Choate, who started fifth and hails from Cookeville, Tennessee, was strong on the restart and again after a late caution set up a green-white-checkered [Read More]

1,156 pre-entries a new Super Nationals record

BOONE, Iowa (Aug. 29, 2025) – If pre-registration trends are any indication, the 43rd annual Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s may be one for the record book. It actually already is. By the time pre-registration closed Thursday night at midnight, an impressive 1,156 drivers from 33 states, Canada and Australia reserved their place to compete on IMCA Racing’s biggest stage at Boone Speedway Aug. 30-Sept. 6. This year’s pre-entry numbers bested last year’s then-record 1,061 early registrations by nearly 100 drivers. Leading registration numbers were the Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars, which established a new pre-entry best 302 drivers for the Class Too Tough To Tame. Other new highs were set in the Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMods with 203 pre-entries, Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks with 185 and Stealth Racing STARS IMCA Mod Lites with 93. Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds narrowly missed a pre-entry record, with 254 entering early. Their pre-entry best was 263 in 2022. Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compact pre-entries totaled 95, one shy of that division record, which was set in 2023. Sunoco [Read More]
