Callahan cashes in at Quad City Deery

EAST MOLINE, Ill. (May 15) – What looked to be another night for a Deery Brothers Summer Series rookie to shine ended with veteran Joel Callahan in victory lane instead Sunday at Quad City Speedway. First-year IMCA Late Model tour driver Cayden Carter led the first 32 times around the East Moline oval before Callahan caught up and led to the $2,000 checkers. Carter ended in second while Tyler Droste, the winner at Quad City last July and 2015 series rookie of the year, took third. “We can usually run the low side when we need to and it worked well for us tonight,” Callahan said following his career fourth series victory, and first away from Farley Speedway. “There were a couple times at midway when I got alongside but couldn’t get past. I had the advantage of running second but he (Carter) was tough.” Carter had started outside the front row and set sail from the top side. Callahan drew the fifth starting spot and stayed glued to the bottom. The last 39 laps [Read More]

VanMil, Laudenschlager strike gold at Red River Valley Speedway 

By Mike Spieker WEST FARGO, N.D. (May 13) – After nearly four long years, Red River Valley Speedway was resurrected Friday night to the delight of hundreds of dedicated race fans, who braved wind chills that approached 30 degrees. A stout field of 70 race teams were signed in to inaugurate a new era of racing at “The fastest track in the Upper Midwest” and winners of inaugural features for the sanctioned divisions were Rob VanMil in the Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modifieds and Erik Laudenschlager in the Karl Chevro­let Northern SportMods. Coming into the night everybody was asking, “Can anybody stop Rob VanMil?” The 2015 IMCA Modified national rookie of the year had picked up a convincing win the previous Sunday at Buffalo River Race Park and backed it up with a win Thursday at Norman County Race­way where he took the checkers with an advantage of 11.5 seconds. If VanMil was going to make it three in a row, he had a long way to go as he was mired back in the 10th starting position for the 25-lap [Read More]

Twin 20 triumphs for Linkenhoker, Worrell in Virginia Sprint Series Shenandoah show

By Jim Haines SHENANDOAH, Va. (May 14) – A rain delay on April 30 after the trophy dash meant a changeup format was put into play when Virginia Sprint Series drivers returned to Shenandoah Speedway Saturday night for a pair of twin 20-lap features. Anthony Linkenhoker became the first repeat winner for IMCA EMI RaceSaver Sprint Cars this season in the rescheduled race, Glenn Worrell earned his first pavement win in the night­cap and Bill Rice went home with two runner-up finishes. The first feature had Worrell and Tony Harris on the front row with Harris out first. Rice was strong up high right behind them and got Worrell first and then Harris on lap six, but Linkenhoker was coming on strong as well. Linkenhoker was in second by lap 10 and in the lead for good two laps later. Worrell was pressing Rice as laps ran out. Feature number two had Worrell and Harris on the point as the green waved with Worrell out front on the bottom and Harris mid-track. The two traded [Read More]

Woods is fastest on fast track at Abilene SST

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]
