VINTON, Iowa (April 4) – The third time was a charm Sunday night for Jeff Larson. The Freeport, Ill., driver made the third visit of his IMCA Modified career to the Benton County Speedway and won for the first time at Vinton, taking the $2,000 checkers on Michael & Dowd Night at The Bullring. Larson stayed on the higher groove throughout the 25-lapper after passing pole starter Lucas Lamberies on the second circuit. He outran Cayden Carter following restarts on laps seven and 18. Carter, Richie Gustin, Ethan Braaksma and Joel Rust completed the top five. “I don’t like running inside so drawing the outside front row (start) helped,” said Larson, already on the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot. “It means a lot for me to be able to win tonight – I don’t usually beat these guys. I usually finish top five.” Larson was already pulling away from the rest of the field when the first caution flew and was a lapped car ahead of Carter when the second yellow came out. Carter tried [Read More]

SAN TAN VALLEY, Ariz. – They’ll dance for the last time this weekend at Arizona Speedway. A decade and a day after the first race night at the 3/8-mile clay oval, the San Tan Valley speed plant, part of the Jonah Trussell-promoted ET Motopark, shuts off the green light for good. A special land use permit expires this year and the Arizona State Land Department has concluded that the facility, while popular with drivers and fans and with a growing national reputation, does not mesh with its neighboring development plan. IMCA Modifieds, a staple on weekly race programs since Day One, plus Karl Kustoms Northern SportMods and IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars will help bring the curtain down during the show billed as The Last Dance at Arizona Speedway this Saturday, April 3. “It’s been a good ride. We want to invite everyone to join us Saturday night,” said Trussel, who started racing motocross at ET after moving from Indiana, later taking over the facility lease and adding sand drag and RC courses, then building the race track after [Read More]
