Rust Dominates Modified Main at Spencer for First Salute To Vets Tour Triumph

By Ben Deatherage SPENCER, Iowa (Aug. 6, 2025) — Joel Rust showed the way in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Clay County Fair Speedway, collecting his first-ever Hunting With Heroes Salute To Veterans Tour presented by Performance Bodies and Parts victory. The win came during the third night of Iowa Speedweek and also served as the Clay County Clash. The 20-lap, $2,000-to-win contest marked Rust’s third triumph of the season in the Razor Chassis North Central Region, each at a different track. Rust, from Grundy Center, took the lead from the drop of the green and built a commanding advantage before a caution on lap 14 gave second-running Brandon Beckendorf one final shot. But Rust, a two-time Benton County Speedway champion and 2016 Harris Clash winner, was unfazed and pulled away on the restart for a dominant win. Beckendorf, the 2018 regional champion and five-time Minnesota State title holder, finished second while Nick Meyer, the 2018 Kossuth County and Hancock County Speedways champ, took third.

Stock Car Slugfest at Marshalltown Goes to Murty in Photo Finish

By Kaden Krebs MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (Aug. 1, 2025) — $1,000 was on the line for the Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars at Marshalltown Speedway thanks to Midwest Liquid Systems. Braden Richards and Damon Murty led the 24-car field to green for 20 laps of hard-hitting action. Richards and Murty swapped the top spot over the first few circuits, with Richards gaining a slight advantage. A caution with 13 to go bunched up the pack, but Richards stayed strong up front. Jeff Mueller closed fast and took over with four laps remaining, but it was Dallon Murty who stole the show, surging forward in the final laps and nipping Mueller at the line by just .247 seconds. Richards settled for third. The win marked Murty’s fifth of the season, four of which have come in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region.

Frederick Nabs Eagle River Bounty Loot

By Joe Verdegan EAGLE RIVER, Wis. (Aug. 5, 2025) — Kyle Frederick played the role of bounty hunter Tuesday night at Eagle River Speedway. The Oconto Falls racer collected the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature win at the third-mile clay oval and pocketed a $1,000 bounty for ending Rod Snellenberger’s undefeated streak. Snellenberger had been six-for-six in his 2025 visits to Eagle River. The win marked Frederick’s second EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region victory of the season, each at a different track. Frederick powered into the lead from the pole on the initial start of the 20-lap contest. Snellenberger, who started fifth, quickly worked his way to third by lap four, then passed Dustin White for second on lap six. Frederick had built a four-car length cushion by the time a caution flew on lap 13 for a Nick Pagac spin. On the restart, Frederick held firm out front. Snellenberger stayed close but couldn’t make the move for the lead and had to settle for runner-up honors. White completed the podium in third.

By Ben Deatherage ALTA, Iowa (Aug. 4, 2025) — Cody Thompson kicked off Iowa Speedweek in style, charging from 10th to win the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature on opening night of the Battle of the Beaver at Buena Vista Raceway.

Wisconsin’s Cole Czarneski, defending 141 Speedway Modified and Sunoco IMCA Stock Car champion, took command on the restart and held off Rogotzke’s counterattack before another yellow slowed the action. That opened the door for Thompson, who challenged after the restart and took over the lead for good on lap 20, pulling away to seal the win.

On the restart, Scott Porter controlled the high side while Probst methodically worked his way forward. After another yellow on lap seven for Volk, Probst found momentum up top and swept past Porter to take over the point.

Wahoo Ends Shryock’s Streak in Stock Cars at Kossuth County

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (July 31, 2025) — Kossuth County Speedway hosted a thrilling Thursday night program for the Harken/Hovinga Memorial Race. In the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature, Loren Pesicka Jr. took the early lead before giving way to Mike “Wahoo” Albertsen just two laps in. Behind him, a heated battle for second brewed between McCain Jennings, Kelly Shryock, David Wickman, Calvin Lange and Pesicka. Shryock eventually won that battle and slowly began reeling in Albertsen by the halfway point of the 20-lap main. With four laps remaining, Shryock was right on Albertsen’s rear bumper when a caution flew for a Zayn Feaster spin. Shryock threw everything he had at Albertsen on the restart, but the Audubon driver held his ground to score his second win of the season at Algona. The victory also snapped Shryock’s personal six-race win streak at the track. Albertsen now owns 10 overall wins in 2025, including eight in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region.
