ABILENE, Texas (May 7) – Abilene Speedway continued to be very good to defending Sprint Se­ries of Texas champion Dustin Woods. Woods led the last 19 of 20 circuits in winning Saturday’s main event for touring IMCA EMI Rac­eSaver Sprint Cars. “It’s always fun to race at Abilene,” said Woods, the fourth different winner in as many SST events so far this season. “I started outside the front row, which was a first at Abilene. The track changed from real fast to slick in just a handful of laps so it was a pretty nice win.” Cody Whitworth was scored first on the opening lap. Early cautions gave way to a long green flag run but none of his 23 IMCA EMI RaceSaver Sprint Car foes could lasso Woods. Justin Melton, Woods’ teammate Jason Howell, Whitworth and Kenny Elwood comprised the rest of the top five. Feature results – 1. Dustin Woods; 2. Justin Melton; 3. Jason Howell; 4. Cody Whitworth; 5. Kenny Elwood; 6. Jeff Day; 7. Michelle Melton; 8. Reagan Reed; 9. Shawn Mize; [Read More]

By Dusty Wiegert SALINA, Kan. (May 6) – For most of the feature event Friday night at Salina Speedway in the Long McArthur IMCA Modified division, it looked as if NASCAR veteran Ken Schrader would notch his first win at the track. But he was inevitably denied with only a handful of laps left as Salina’s Corey Lagroon snuck past and powered away for the victory, his first of the season. The $1,000 victory put Lagroon on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Schrader, who started from the pole after a lucky pill draw by one of the speedway’s younger fans, pushed up the track exiting turn three, allowing Lagroon the room to get by as he got the car to stick on the bottom side. Schrader finished second with Tyler Frye and Danny Morrison rounding out the top four. Chad Sterling drove to a big win in the Coors Light IMCA Stock Car division. Defending champion Arnold Williams returned to finish second with Tanner Portenier and Scot Granzella following. Dakota Sproul got [Read More]
