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]

Salina Speedway preview: Racing to stay dry

By Dusty Wiegert SALINA, Kan. – Three weeks ago racing returned to the Salina Speedway for only the second time in 2015. Opening night was three weeks before that night, and in all seven out of eight scheduled events have been affected by rain. It only seems fitting that this week the show gets in, as the focus will be on fundraising for Chloe Nelson. Chloe has a germ cell cancer. She started chemo at Children’s Mercy in Kansas City on Jan. 23. The night’s 50/50 effort will go towards off setting medical costs for Chloe and her family, as well as any donations that will gladly be accepted. On the track five divisions will highlight the evening, with the Auto House Mod Lite division taking center stage with two features, the first being the make up feature from May 22 with a complete show after that. The 1st Class Chassis IMCA Modifieds will be back at it with defending champion Mike Petersilie at the top of the two event point standings. In one event [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]
