By Josh Reynolds STUART, Iowa (June 14) – Nick Roberts and Josh Pruitt were $1,000 feature winners in front of a packed house Sunday at Stuart Speedway.

Pruitt paced the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars’ Stew Hansen Dodge Shootout event. Jacob Murray squeezed through to take the early Modified lead. Three early cautions slowed the pace but once the green flew again, Murray stayed ahead of Roberts and Todd Shute with Luke Wanninger lurking around the bottom of the track in fourth. Lap 15 saw Wanninger get past Shute for third. Roberts began to gain ground on the bottom and on lap 19 snagged the top spot. The last caution flew on lap 21, setting up a four-lap shootout for the win and Roberts was up to the task in taking the checkers and the $1,000 top prize.

Peery scores huge Wild West Shootout win at Siskiyou

By Ben Deatherage YREKA, Calif. (June 14) – A quick decision late in the race paid off for Travis Peery. Originally from nearby Fort Jones, the North Dakota transplant won Sunday’s Wild West Modified Shootout feature at Siskiyou Motor Speedway. Peery started outside pole but the $1,000 Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified victory was sealed until he made a split second decision and chose the right lane that took him through lapped traffic with two circuits left. After taking the lead at the drop of the green, Peery set a rapid pace interrupted only by cautions on laps 15 and 18. The second yellow involved Colorado pilot Ryan Gaylord, running second at the time. He spun into the infield and the second spot was inherited by North Dakota chauffeur Troy Heupel. Heupel nearly caught Peery on a couple occasions but each time Peery was able to pull away. Heavy lapped traffic came into play with just a few laps remaining and that’s when Peery picked the right line to work his way through. The win [Read More]

Auringer tops Iowa Donor Network, Urbana 5 Night at Benton County Speedway

By Ryan Clark VINTON, Iowa (June 14) – J.D. Auringer continued his recent hot streak in a big way at Benton County Speedway. The Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified driver earned his third win in eight days and pocketed $1,250 Sunday night by topping a 32-car field on Iowa Donor Network/Urbana 5 Memorial Night. The win also placed Auringer on the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot. Outside front row starter Ronn Lauritzen paced the field while Auringer positioned himself on the top groove of the quarter-mile. Auringer made his way into second following a lap four restart and chased Lauritzen until a caution slowed action a final time on the 20th of 25 laps. On the restart, Auringer worked beneath Lauritzen to steal the lead and pull away to victory. He also won the last two Saturday shows in Independence. Mike Jergens made an impressive run from 10th to finish second ahead of Zach Less. Laurtizen ran fourth ahead of Scott Hogan, who started 22nd and qualified by winning a “B” feature. Jarod Weepie hadn’t won in Vinton [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage WHITE CITY, Ore. (June 13) – Jesse Williamson took a big first step toward his career third Wild West Modified Shootout title by winning the opening night feature Saturday at Southern Oregon Speedway.

Several cautions kept the field bunched but Williamson stayed out front and took the $1,000 checkers, his tour career seventh. Jerry Schram was second and defending Shootout champion Alex Stanford was third. Collen Winebarger and Nick Trenchard completed the top five.

Williamson seeks career third Wild West Shootout title

By Ben Deatherage EUGENE, Ore. – One of the top contenders to challenge for the fifth annual Wild West Modified Shootout crown is Eugene’s Jesse Williamson. The current Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified campaign has treated him well with four feature wins in only a handful of starts. Two Modified main events have been won in the Modifieds at Cottage Grove Speedway while he also has won at the historic 1/4-mile clay oval in a late model. “It has been a good year so far,” said Williamson. “We’ve been fast every time but in a couple of races we’ve broke when contending for the win.” Williamson is the 2012 and 2013 Wild West Modified Shootout champion and is the only driver to repeat a Speedweek crown. Add to his résumé four Cottage Grove Modified Nationals, a Shipwreck Beads Northwest Modified Nationals crown and last year’s Lon Skinner Memorial victory at Southern Oregon Speedway. He is the all-time leading winner in the history of the Wild West Modified Shootout with six but unfortunately did not manage [Read More]

2015 Kupper Chevrolet Dakota Classic Modified Tour payout powered up with new partnership from Industrial Electric and RACEFEEDX

Following up to the RACEFEEDX “New Blood, Long Tow” presented by IMCA.TV, officials from the Kupper Chevrolet Dakota Classic Modified Tour are pleased to announce added purse monies from Industrial Electric and RACEFEEDX for the 2015 monster modified tilt.   Industrial Electric joins the growing list of Dakota Classic Modified Tour sponsors in the same way so many businesses have joined the tour–as fans of racing! Owner Lynn Hecker of Dickinson, North Dakota, has sponsored several IMCA modified cars over the years and he loves to “see the very best drivers from all over the continent come to North Dakota to compete against some very tough competition right here at home.” He also understands some of the tracks on the tour, like his home track of Dickinson, do not have the grandstand capacity to fund the ever growing payouts the tour needs to attract the best drivers.    While in Arizona this past winter watching two of his sponsored drivers, Shawn Strand of Mandan and Jeff Taylor of Cave City, Arkansas, race, the idea was tossed [Read More]

Prauner notes 100th Northern SportMod win with June 5 checkers at Boone Co. Raceway

NORFOLK, Neb. – The meticulous notes Kyle Prauner keeps about all his races will include a special footnote for his June 5th outing at Boone County Raceway. Prauner won for the 100th time in his Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod career Friday at Albion, becoming just the third driver in the 10-plus year history of the division to reach that mark. “Winning 100 times wasn’t something I set out to do when I started racing a SportMod. Success comes with hard work, dedication and passion by a lot of people,” Prauner said. “I never thought we’d get to 50 wins to be honest, but we’ve had good cars and a lot of good help.” Friday’s checkers were his fifth of the season. From Norfolk, Prauner was the national runner-up with 28 wins in 2012 and 27 in 2013. He was third nationally while winning a fifth straight Allstar Performance Nebraska State crown last season. “One hundred wins is a little more icing on the cake. It’s hard to compare to other accomplishments,” said Prauner, also a 12-time SportMod [Read More]
