Clark aims for Sprint win in sixth state in return to Eagle, RaceSaver Nationals

HAMERSVILLE, Ohio – Justin Clark already owns IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car feature wins in five different states this season. He’s hoping to add a sixth state to that list when he returns to Nebraska’s Eagle Raceway for the RaceSaver Nationals Sept. 2-5. From Hamersville, Ohio, Clark has won 13 times, in his home state and in Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. With 100 percent chance of rain close to home, he made the 15-hour tow to Nebraska in mid-July and won his heat race before Eagle got washed out as well. “Our goal at the beginning of the year was to race for national points. We don’t usually start racing too early in Ohio and Indiana and had to travel to do that,” said Clark, second in national standings to Texan Marcus Thomas for most of the season. “I tell people that you don’t know how good you are until you race with different people to see how good you stack up.” Through 29 starts, he’s stacked up pretty well. Clark leads both Ohio [Read More]

$5K possible for 16 different IMCA Modified drivers Friday at Lee County

By Brian Neal DONNELLSON, Iowa – The inaugural Hinkle Auto Sales Drive For 5 finale for IMCA Modifieds is set for this Friday, Aug. 20 at Lee County Speedway in Donnellson. A $5,000 payday is up for grabs for 16 drivers but $2,000 is guaranteed to any other driver who isn’t qualified. In 2020, promoters Brian and Marcie Gaylord decided to try a Drive For 5 mini-series for IMCA Sunoco Late Models. With the success it generated, they decided to do the same mini-series for IMCA Modifieds for the 2021 season. How it worked was there were seven qualifying nights scheduled and a driver had to race in all but two of those events to be eligible for a $5,000 payout in the finale. Mother Nature claimed one of the qualifying nights, leaving only six race events being run. Which meant any driver who ran at least four of those nights is still eligible for a shot at $5,000. Sixteen drivers emerged from the group that has a chance at 5K on Friday and those drivers are Michael Long, Cayden Carter, Dennis [Read More]
