By Joyce Eisele BOONE, Iowa (July 15, 2023) – Boone Speedway held its weekly racing series on Saturday night, even after the area had nearly even inches of rain earlier in the week and the track was covered with water.

Brown, Paris score big wins at CJ Speedway

By Jerry Mackey COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa (July 14, 2023) – Racing resumed at CJ Speedway, following two consecutive nights of rainouts of regular IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing programs.
