Reimers Captures SportMod Nationals at Hancock County Speedway

By Chad Meyer BRITT, Iowa (June 12, 2026) — Cam Reimers realized a longtime goal Friday night, dominating the annual Gold-Eagle Cooperative SportMod Nationals at Hancock County Speedway to earn one of the biggest victories of his season. The Kelley driver controlled the Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod feature despite several cautions, including a late restart that brought the field to his rear bumper for a final sprint to the checkered flag. Reimers quickly pulled away once the race resumed and secured his seventh victory of the season, earned at five different tracks. Keegan Nordquist finished second, followed by Ben Reierson, Alec Fett and Josh Appel.

Robles Earns Emotional Antioch Stock Car Victory

By Candice Martin ANTIOCH, Calif. (June 13, 2026) — Kenneth Robles of Rio Vista scored an emotional first Sunoco IMCA Stock Car victory of the season Saturday night at Antioch Speedway, dedicating the win to longtime track supporter Tom Fraser, who passed away two weeks earlier. Starting fourth, Robles charged into the lead at the drop of the green flag and spent much of the 20-lap feature holding off point leader Troy Foulger of Oakley. As the leaders navigated lapped traffic, Robles continued to hit his marks while Foulger and Fred Ryland battled behind him. Foulger’s hopes took a hit on lap 13 when he got sideways exiting turn four and slipped behind Ryland. That gave Robles some breathing room, though Ryland steadily reeled him in during the closing laps. Robles stayed composed under pressure and raced to the victory, his first of 2026 in the EQ Cylinder Heads Southern Region. Ryland finished second after advancing from ninth, followed by Foulger. Jason Robles and Clarence Holbrook III completed the top five. Clymens Charges From Eighth for [Read More]

By Brandon Beeter MINOT, N.D. (June 14, 2026) — Mike Hagen collected the biggest payday of the night in the Randy Fyllesvold Memorial for Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars, while Travis Hagen reached a major career milestone with his 100th IMCA-sanctioned Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature victory during an action-packed evening at Nodak Speedway. The Randy Fyllesvold Memorial for Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars featured a unique redraw format that placed Gabriel Deschamp 14th in the starting lineup and made him eligible for bonus money based on positions gained. Mike Hagen, of Williston, drew the pole and immediately took command of the race. Although Marcus Tomlinson pressured him for much of the event and briefly challenged for the lead, Hagen remained in control and drove away for the $1,414 victory. The win was his first of the season in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region and made him eligible to attempt to qualify for the B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Stock Car Invitational at Super Nationals. Tomlinson’s strong run ended prematurely with mechanical issues before the finish. Deschamp charged [Read More]

By Christine Rublack VINTON, Iowa (June 14, 2026) — Between the annual candy dash and the racing, the action was sweet at Benton County Speedway. It was especially sweet for Tony Olson, who swept both the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car and Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod features Sunday night. Olson’s second trip to victory lane came in the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature. Dustin Filloon grabbed the early lead before Olson worked the high groove to take command.

The Cedar Rapids driver raced to his fourth EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region victory of the season, with two of those wins coming at Benton County Speedway. Oliver finished second, followed by Filloon, Kyle Olson, and Adam Streeter. Earlier in the evening, Olson moved to the front early in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod feature and never looked back.

Jahnz Charges From 10th for Arlington Hobby Stock Victory

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (June 13, 2026) — Arlington Raceway’s most action-packed feature Saturday evening belonged to the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks, where multiple cautions and restarts kept drivers on edge before Austin Jahnz emerged victorious. Ben Davis paced the opening laps before an early caution slowed the field. Additional incidents throughout the race repeatedly reset the order, but Taylor Manderfield capitalized on one restart to sweep around Davis on the high side and take command. Manderfield maintained the lead through the midway point, but Jahnz steadily worked his way forward from the 10th starting position. Following a late caution, the Lewisville driver closed in on the leader and eventually made the winning move, securing his third straight Arlington Raceway victory. Jahnz’s triumph was his ninth overall win of the season, including six in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region and three at Arlington Raceway. Manderfield finished second, while Jordan Robinson completed the podium in third. Mason Goettl and Sarah Domoradzki rounded out the top five.

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (June 13, 2026) — Strong winds greeted fans Saturday night at Eagle Raceway, but the action on the track was even stronger as Tyler Drueke turned in the drive of the night, charging from 14th starting position to capture the 25-lap RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature at the Heartland Hustle.

Cavalet Conquers Intense Selinsgrove Battle

By Stephanie Dodson SELINSGROVE, Pa. (June 12, 2026) — A car doesn’t need fancy graphics to be fast, and Jarrett Cavalet proved that point Friday night by driving an unlettered RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car to victory in River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series action at Selinsgrove Speedway. The Hollidaysburg driver arrived at the track after spending the week rebuilding his car following a crash while battling for the lead the previous Friday. Cavalet showed speed from the outset, leading every lap of his heat race from the pole position. In the feature, however, he had work to do after starting fourth. He quickly advanced to second and spent the opening 10 laps shadowing pole sitter Josh Spicer. The pair put on one of the night’s best battles, often racing side-by-side with Cavalet never more than three-quarters of a second behind the leader. On lap 11, Cavalet used momentum from the outside groove to drive around Spicer in turns one and two. Once out front, Cavalet faced continued pressure as Spicer refused to let him pull away.

Whiteaker and Maupin Top STIMS Doubleheader Weekend

By Nick Robbins SAN ANTONIO, Texas (June 14, 2026) — The Southern Touring IMCA Modified Series presented by On Demand Shirts returned to action for an exciting doubleheader weekend at Heart O’ Texas Speedway on Friday and Cotton Bowl Speedway on Saturday. Although the tracks are vastly different, both provided strong fields and exciting racing. A season-best 34 Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds signed in for action at the historic Elm Mott speed plant on Friday night, making the winner’s share $1,500. The stout field meant only two drivers from each of the evening’s five heat races would transfer directly to the feature. DIY Equipment Sales and Rental Heat One belonged to Raymond McSpadden, who took the win over Steven Whiteaker Jr. Sundowner Performance Diesel Heat Two went to Jared Maupin with Matthew Day second. Calera, Oklahoma’s William Gould won 3-D Landscaping and Irrigation Heat Three followed by “Big Brother” Paul White. Heat Four saw 2025 series champion Logan Dinsmore pick up the win with Trent Beaver second. Brenda Kirby-Morris collected her first STIMS heat race victory [Read More]

Ferrando Wins Historic First IMCA Wild West Speedweek Stop at River City

By Ben Deatherage ST. HELENS, Ore. (June 14, 2026) — Grey Ferrando added another chapter to his IMCA Wild West Speedweek résumé by winning the first-ever series event held at River City Speedway in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds. Defending DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region and Oregon State champion Kevin Williamson paced the opening laps aboard the Superior Fuel Cells-owned No. 42. Two-time defending Wild West Speedweek SportMod champion Matt Sanders quickly emerged as a challenger and briefly completed a pass for the lead before a caution negated the move. A three-car battle between Williamson, Sanders and Ferrando erupted after the restart. Ferrando, the 2024 Cocopah Speedway and 2017 Cottage Grove Speedway track champion, edged ahead by just .014 seconds at the line on lap eight to seize the lead before a pair of cautions kept the field tightly bunched. Sanders secured second on lap 10 and remained within striking distance as lapped traffic entered the equation on lap 16. A caution on lap 20 removed heavy traffic from the picture and set up another showdown [Read More]

After stalking Lewis for more than half the race, Smith dove underneath him on lap 21 to take command. The closing laps were anything but easy as Travis Denning charged from 12th and pressured Smith to the finish, but Smith held on for the victory. Denning finished second after advancing 10 positions. Lewis settled for third, Logan Veloz raced to fourth, and Matt Ryan rounded out the top five. Diercks Charges from 12th for Modified Win Spencer Diercks put together one of the night’s strongest drives in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature.
