Stafford Steals Saturday SportMod Win on Final Corner at Central Arizona

By Rowdy Briggs CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (May 2, 2026) — The Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods delivered one of Saturday’s wildest finishes at Central Arizona Raceway. A chaotic opening two turns brought out a quick caution before Tyke Miles took the lead once racing resumed. Miles spun one lap later, handing the lead to Eric Winemiller. Winemiller looked to be on his way to the win, but trouble getting around a lapped car on the final lap allowed Bubba Stafford Jr. to close in and steal the victory coming off turn four. Stafford, of Wittmann, charged from ninth to earn his third win of the year, all coming at Central Arizona Raceway. Winemiller was second, followed by Tyler Johnson, James Meile, who started 16th, and Miles. Madrid and McDaniel Split Hobby Stock Wins The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks produced two different winners on the weekend.

Logan Charges from Sixth to Skagit Modified Victory

By Kaleb Hart ALGER, Wash. (May 2, 2026) — Cole Logan of Burlington put together an impressive drive to win the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature at Skagit Speedway. Starting sixth, Logan worked his way to the front in short order, taking the lead from Jeff Hunt on lap seven. Once out front, he went virtually unchallenged the rest of the way to secure his first win of 2026 in the DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region. Adam Holtrop finished second, while Tyson Blood charged from ninth to third. Rory Smith advanced from eighth to fourth, with Hunt rounding out the top five. The race served as a Fast Shafts All-Star Modified Invitational qualifier, putting Logan on the eligibility list to try and qualify for the event to be held in September during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. Heat race wins went to Holtrop and Lane Zerbin.

Jenner Leads Flag-to-Flag in Modified Season Opener at Sunset Speedway Park

By Jack Mitchell BANKS, Ore. (May 2, 2026) — The Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds capped off opening night at Sunset Speedway Park—known as the “Banks Bullring” just outside the Portland metro area—with a 25-lap feature that kept teams busy from start to finish. Action picked up early on lap two when Lovell lost control in turn two, forcing Jake Walters up into the wall. The contact stripped away much of the bodywork on Walters’ machine and ended his race. The pace stayed demanding throughout the event, and late-race challenges continued as the field worked through traffic. On lap 19, contact between Lovell and Cassell in turn three created more damage, and one lap later Matt Jenner suffered a flat right rear tire, ending his night. Up front, Don Jenner of Vancouver, Washington stayed smooth and consistent, leading every lap to score his first win of the season in the DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region. Trevor Labarge finished second, followed by Jeff Lovell, Craig Cassell, and Joey Tardio in the Greg Walters-provided No. 97 to complete the [Read More]

By Shaun Hulbert ELMA, Wash. (May 2, 2026) — Brenton Schnitzer led the field to green in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature at Grays Harbor Raceway, with Scott Miller running second and Zane Miner in third. Craig Moore, of Seabeck, who started ninth, quickly worked his way into the top four before a caution slowed the pace for second-running Miller. On the restart, Moore began to find his groove. Within a couple of laps, he worked past Miner and set his sights on Schnitzer. Utilizing a strong middle line, Moore steadily reeled in the leader and powered past him with eight laps remaining. Moore went on to secure his first win of the season in the DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region, extending his podium streak and maintaining his advantage in track standings just three weeks into the season. Schnitzer held on for second, fending off Miner, who finished third. Jake Sorenson won a hard-fought battle for fourth, with John Higgenbottom rounding out the top five.

Bartlett Goes Flag-to-Flag for Blackwater Modified Victory

By Cortni Potoapowicz BAKER, Fla. (May 2, 2026) — After nearly two inches of rain threatened Saturday’s program, officials at Blackwater Speedway worked tirelessly to bring both the racing surface and pit area back to top condition—delivering a track that was race-ready for the night’s “Show Up and Showdown” event. Despite the weather challenges, the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified division brought plenty of excitement. When the feature went green, the competition intensified as some of the division’s best went wheel-to-wheel behind the leader. William Bartlett of Panama City led the entire distance to capture the feature win in impressive fashion, earning his first victory of the season in the Close Racing Supply Eastern Region. Jason Barnhill charged to a strong second-place finish, while Chris Smith fought his way back onto the podium in third. Greg Hopkins finished fourth, followed by Zach Howard in fifth.

Pella Powers Through Mayhem to Claim Eagle Hobby Stock Victory

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (May 2, 2026) — After a bout of liquid sunshine forced the cancellation of what was to be the season opener at Eagle Raceway last Saturday, this Saturday greeted teams and fans with a beautiful spring day—and the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks made sure the wait was worth it, delivering the wildest race of the night that remained unpredictable to the very end. The initial start attempt saw a five-car pile-up in turns three and four that eliminated several contenders before a lap could even be completed. After another caution on the restart, a lap was finally made official with Dan Markham leading, followed by Neil Pella, Trenton Dowty, and Jason Hansen. From there, the race began to take shape as drivers worked through changing track conditions and traffic. Pella, from Adams, who started fourth, took over the top spot on lap four and never relinquished it, navigating the chaos to score his first win of the year in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region. Brayden Hurley made an impressive charge [Read More]

By Chance Riley JEFFERSON, S.D.

Ninth-starting Zach Ankrum of Sioux City charged to his second win of the year at the track and in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region, but not without a fight. Birthday boy Cody Malasek, who turned 15, stormed back from the rear after an early incident and threw a last-lap slide job in a bid for the win, coming up just short. Wyatt Johnson charged from 14th to finish third, while Ben Schneiders and Steven Taylor rounded out the top five. Sioux City’s Tyler Thompson made it back-to-back wins in the Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compacts. Starting eighth, Thompson grabbed the lead on lap four and never looked back.

By Jerry Mackey COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa (May 1, 2026) — Dalton Weepie was in action for the second week in a row in the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks, and when the checkered flag fell, the youngster made his first-ever trip to CJ Speedway victory lane.
