Shryock Dominates Stock Cars at Algona; Adds to Big Season Tally

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (Aug. 21, 2025) — The Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature at Kossuth County Speedway for the Jade Lange Memorial brought 17 cars to the track, with pole sitter Kelly Shryock showing once again why he’s been the class of the field all year. Shryock jumped out front at the start and controlled the pace until a lap-12 yellow slowed things. After a complete restart, cautions for Mike Albertsen’s spin and a small fire under Colby Fett’s hood briefly delayed the action, but none of it rattled Shryock. He powered away to his eighth victory of the year at Kossuth County Speedway, and his 19th in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region for 2025. Kevin Opheim was runner-up, followed by Chad Palmer, Devin Tripp, and Calvin Lange. Tripp picked up the hard charger honors, improving seven positions. Shryock’s season dominance also locked down the track championship with a commanding 62-point margin.

Mackenthun Steals Stock Car Victory in Last-Lap Thriller

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (Aug. 23, 2025) — The Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature at Arlington Raceway produced one of the night’s most dramatic finishes with three different leaders. Chris Neisen paced the field early before A.J. Zimmerman worked underneath him to take command. The pair pulled away from the pack until Matt Speckman charged through the middle of the field, only to fall out with mechanical issues just as he was challenging for the lead. That left Zimmerman to duel with Dan Mackenthun over the final five laps. At the line, Mackenthun edged ahead to take the victory, with Zimmerman second and Josh Larsen third. The triumph was Mackenthun’s eighth win of the season in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region, with five of those coming at Arlington. Richards Makes Nebraska Trip Count With Hobby Stock Win National points contender Dillon Richards made the trip north from Nebraska worthwhile in the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks.
