McPHERSON, Kan. – Opportunities to study sports management and play baseball got Boone Evans interested in attending a Kansas college seven-plus hours from his Bullard, Texas home. What sealed the deal was that he’d get to race three times every weekend while he was doing it. Evans, a freshman relief pitcher at McPherson College in central Kansas, has been a weekly regular at Salina Speedway, RPM Speedway in Hays and at Concordia High Banks, where he earned his IMCA Sunoco Stock Car career-first feature win on April 25. “It’s a dream life. I couldn’t ask for anything better,” said Evans, son of long-time driver Travis Evans and the one who suggested the school choice because Boone could race so often. “I love the school, I love my coaches and I have three tracks where I can race Friday, Saturday and Sunday and not have to travel more than an hour and 45 minutes. Everything was just meant to be.” “I can get in a full weekend of racing and it’s a blast,” he added. “It’s [Read More]

By Greg Soukup LINCOLN, Neb. – Cade Richards, the 2019 IMCA national Karl Kustoms Northern SportMod rookie of the year, spent most of 2020 competing in his SportMod and IMCA Sunoco Stock Car. To say that he’s starting off the 2021 season well in the Stock Car would be an understatement. He kicked off the year with a pair of third-place finishes, then brought it home in the top spot twice. On Friday, April 23 Richards made the trip to Salina Speedway. Starting his heat from the inside of the third row, he took the checkers. Then, in the main event he started fourth row inside and in a few laps got the lead and checked out for the clean sweep. “At first I was just trying to move up in there.

I finally got around him and just took off from there for [Read More]
