Probst Charges From 10th for Arlington Hobby Stock Victory

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (July 18, 2026) — By the time feature racing began Saturday night at Arlington Raceway, the track had slickened off through the middle while still allowing plenty of side-by-side racing. The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock feature showcased those conditions, with Dan Scharpe leading the opening lap before a thrilling three-wide battle over the closing laps saw Cory Probst charge from 10th starting to score the victory. On lap two, Taylor Manderfield spun entering turn four and collected Patrick Schauer to bring out the caution. Jordan Robinson grabbed the lead on the restart while Cory Probst and Austin Jahnz quickly joined the battle. Jahnz briefly led at the halfway point before Robinson regained the advantage the following lap. With three laps remaining, the leaders raced three-wide down the backstretch as Probst powered to the outside of Robinson while Jahnz challenged on the inside. Probst completed the winning move and held on for the victory. The Brewster driver earned his seventh B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region victory of the season, with four coming [Read More]

Harker Steals Modified Thriller on Final Corner at Eagle

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (July 18, 2026) — Oppressive heat pushed the start of Saturday’s Duel in the Dirt at Eagle Raceway back one hour, but the wait proved worthwhile as Shawn Harker used a last-corner slider to win the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature by just 0.04 seconds. Brandon Verbeek led the opening six laps before Nate Thompson moved past him for the top spot on lap seven. Adam Wasserman continued his march toward the front, taking third on lap 10 and then moving around Verbeek for second. Wasserman wrestled the lead away from Thompson with five laps remaining while 12th-starting Harker continued working forward. Harker moved into fourth with three to go before a pair of late cautions set up a green-white-checkered finish. Harker passed Thompson on the first restart before another caution restacked the field. Bob Zoubek moved into third when racing resumed, but all eyes were on the battle for the win. Coming through turn four for the final time, Harker threw a slider on Wasserman and beat him to the [Read More]

By Jim Haines ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (July 17, 2026) — A hot, humid night and an early rain delay couldn’t keep the Racesaver IMCA Sprint Cars of the Virginia Sprint Car Series from putting on a show as Jerald Harris raced to victory in the final Fast Friday event of the season at Dixieland Speedway. Aaron Leach and Billy Hubbard won the heat races before Harris and Leach brought the field to the green for the feature. Harris jumped to the lead at the start with Leach settling into second and Hubbard running third. Hubbard soon worked his way around Leach for the runner-up spot while Caleb Harris began applying pressure for third. As the laps clicked away, Hubbard’s strong run came to an end when his car began overheating, allowing Leach and Caleb Harris to move up and set their sights on the leader. A quick caution for a stalled car bunched the field, but Harris was flawless on the restart and drove away to score his victory of the season. The Rockingham, Virginia driver [Read More]
