Banks breaks dry spell At CJ Speedway

By Jerry Mackey COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa (June 11) – Friday night racing action at CJ Speedway saw one of the track’s most popular drivers break a long dry spell as Brandon Banks made his way to victory lane in the IMCA Modified feature. Banks debuted a new car a week ago and the first night out was spent working the kinks out. Banks has now sent notice to the rest of the Modified drivers that he will be in contention for the win the rest of the 2021 season. He shot out front early from a second row start and appeared to be on cruise control. That was certainly not the case as Jarrett Brown and Derrick Stewart worked through the field and pressured Banks in the late going. Brown was able to pull alongside Banks late in the race but Banks held off Brown and Stewart for the win. Defending IMCA Sunoco Stock Car track champion Adam Bell raced to his first win of the 21 season. Bell used the entire track on his [Read More]

Bjerkeset up to challenge at Arlington

ARLINGTON, Minn. (June 5) – The highlight of the Saturday night show at Arlington Raceway was the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature, when Ryan Bjerkeset took a back row challenge along with Brent Uecker and Chad Schroeder for an extra $750 from the sponsors for winning the race. Seventeen cars started and there were three different leaders. Matt Schauer led for the first 13 laps with a hefty advantage on the field but pulled off due to his car overheating. Schroeder encountered a flat tire and pulled off on lap seven, ending his own night. Alex Dostal took advantage of Schauer’s misfortune and inherited the lead but a yellow was thrown when Andrea McCain spun.
