Living a Dream

Riley Raynard doesn’t let Duchenne Muscular Dystophy slow him down. He’s living a dream racing at his first Super Nationals. Just a couple weeks removed from his 18th birthday, the Lampman, Sask., hotshoe and family loaded up the trailer for the 15-hour trip to Boone. “It’s amazing,” he said, just prior to starting the second Hobby Stock heat. “I know from hot laps there are long straightaways and sharp corners here.” “The other guys I’ve talked to about racing here told me to go out and do my best. Racing at Super Nationals is something I’ve always wanted to do,” he added. Recipient of the prestigious Ken Schrader Real Racer Award, Raynard is runner-up in points at Estevan Motor Speedway and will also be among the drivers attempting to qualify for the Stephenville Starter Race of Champions.

Kay completes Liberty 100 Deery Weekend sweep

WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (Sept. 5) – The Ideal Ready Mix Liberty 100 Weekend turned out to be a $7,000 weekend for Justin Kay. A night after winning the Iron Man Challenge and $1,000, Kay topped a pair of 50-lap, $3,000 to win features for IMCA Late Models at West Liberty Raceway. The first of those Saturday victories was also Kay’s seventh this season in the Deery Brothers Summer Series. He’ll run for a record-tying fourth straight tour win on Sept. 7 at Boone Speedway, on opening night of the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. Kay started the first feature from outside row one and led every circuit. Cautions on laps 15 and 38 kept the race closer but Kay still took the win well ahead of Jeff Aikey, Brian Harris, Tyler Droste and Tyler Bruening. The defending series champion got another boost in his bid to repeat as second in points Andy Nezworski finished 19th. Kay also won three straight Deery features in 2013.

Kay captures third straight IMCA Late Model national crown

VINTON, Iowa (Sept. 4) – Justin Kay joined some pretty good company by winning another IMCA Late Model national championship. From Wheatland, Kay won 17 features and the track championship at Dubuque Speedway to total 814 points and top national standings for the division for a third consecutive season. That matches the accomplishment of 2010-2012 king Ray Guss Jr. of Milan, Ill. Kay earns a $5,500 share of a $21,300 point fund to be paid to top 20 finishers in the national ranks. “The first one is still the best but the third one is pretty cool,” Kay said. “National championships get tougher to win. It’s cool to be able to do it three years in a row.” Runner-up Matt Ryan of Davenport was just three points off the pace. He raced to 11 feature wins and track titles at Davenport Speedway, Jackson County Speedway and Quad City Speedway, plus the Allstar Performance Illinois State crown. Two-time national champion Todd Cooney of Des Moines, Ryan Griffith of Webster City and Andy Nezworski of Buffalo completed [Read More]

Mackenthun earns big money at Arlington’s Joe Voss Memorial

ARLINGTON, Minn. (Aug. 29) – A single caution was all that slowed Dan Mackenthun’s drive toward the front and eventual Joe Voss Memorial win Saturday at Arlington Raceway. Andy Altenburg was the early leader in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car 25-lapper and was first challenged by Elijah Zevenbergen. Mackenthun, the current track point leader made his way in between the two and was scored first across the stripe on the fourth circuit. Zevenbergen ran with Mackenthun for the next 18 laps before falling off the pace. Fourteenth starting Shaun Bruns made his own bid for the lead but had to settle for second. Mackenthun, nearing the 100 career win mark, earned $1,600. Brent Uecker, Dean Cornelius and Altenburg rounded out the top five. Matt Schauer won the Tough Guy Challenge and $500. Clint Hatlestad chalked up another Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified victory and Brandon Allen led the IMCA Eagle Motorsports RaceSaver Sprint Car field across the finish line. Cory Probst prevailed in a caution-free IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature. John Albrecht held off Matt [Read More]
