BOONE, Iowa (Sep. 5) – Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center Southern SportMods make their much anticipated debut Monday, opening night of the 34th annual IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s at Boone Speedway. They’ll race for $750 to win and as much as $1,250 in bonus money. The first-ever Southern SportMod champion also goes home with a standard weekly race engine courtesy of Centex Motorsports.

Diagnosed earlier this year with Friedreich’s Ataxia, [Read More]

Bruening returns to Farley for career third Deery Series win at Yankee

FARLEY, Iowa (Sept. 3) – The biggest paying event on the Deery Brothers Summer Series schedule brings out the best in Tyler Bruening. Bruening topped Saturday’s $7,500 to win Yankee Dirt Track Classic main event for IMCA Late Models at Farley Speedway. All three of his career tour wins have come at the Yankee and over different distances … 50 laps in 2011, 75 laps in 2012 and 100 laps this year. “It’s a huge honor to win this race. We think really highly of the Yankee,” said Bruening, who battled back and forth over second place with Chad Holladay much of the night and finally passed Matt Ryan for the lead following a late restart. “Anybody can win on any given night in the Deery Series. We’ve had kind of a dry spell so this win is pretty sweet.” Ryan, Holladay, Jeff Aikey and Ray Guss Jr. rounded out the top five. Hard charger Chris Simpson started 21st and ended in sixth. Ryan had started outside row one; Bruening took the initial green inside [Read More]

Dover, Carney run 1-2 in Friday Sprint Nationals qualifying

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (Sept. 2) – The winners of the last two Sprint Nationals ran 1-2 in Friday’s qualifying feature for this year’s IMCA EMI RaceSaver Sprint Car event. 2014 champion Jack Dover led defending king John Carney II across the stripe in opening night action at Eagle Raceway. Chad Wilson and Shon Pointer completed the top four. One hundred and seventeen cars vied at the fourth annual Nationals. “I got a really good jump at the start from fourth. Actually, it was an awesome jump,” Dover said following the $700 checkers. “We set up for a slick track, and after they farmed the track it worked in our favor.” “I can’t wait for the Race of Champions and getting to start on the pole Sunday,” he continued “Hopefully we can bring home the win.” Dover led the opening lap with Andy Shouse, Luke Cranston and Wilson rounding out the top four. Dover pulled ahead to a straightaway lead by lap five. Lap eight saw Pointer move into fourth and two laps later, [Read More]

Kay collects Friday Yankee Dirt Track Classic Deery checkers at Farley

FARLEY, Iowa (Sept. 2) – Right place, right time. Justin Kay inherited the lead after a flat tire sidelined race-long leader Spencer Diercks and led to the finish of Friday’s Deery Brothers Summer Series main event at Farley Speedway. The IMCA Late Model tour victory paid $2,000 and was the 19th of Kay’s career. He’s now tied with Rob Toland for seventh on the all-time Deery Series wins list. Fifty Late Models were on hand for the first of two Deery shows during the Yankee Dirt Track Classic, the top car count of the 30th annual tour. Diercks drew the pole start and led the first 38 times around the 3/8’s mile oval while Kay made his way forward from 11th starting. Diercks, however, pulled up lame on restart and Kay took charge. He was chased across the stripe by Joel Callahan, who advanced 22 positions from his last-place starting spot on the initial grid. Completing the top five were Jeff Aikey, Jeremiah Hurst and Ryan Dolan. Tyler Bruening was sixth and takes a one [Read More]
