Eagle win is career first for Cook

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (Aug. 3, 2024) – Score a career-first Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod feature win at Eagle Raceway for Lauren Cook. The third-year hotshoe out of Lincoln led the distance of the Saturday show, and while competition for third through fifth places behind her was hot and heavy, Cook was in control green to checkers. “It does help starting on the front row. The track was really slick in (turns) three and four and really good in one and two,” she said. “I could get the car to turn and hit some good moisture but I was a little slow in three and four because it was so slick. I felt like I was going really slow like somebody should have been passing me, but they didn’t”. McLain Reed, Josh Pfeifer, Cole Wayman and Adam Vrbka completed the top five on the Stumpy’s Custom Creations and A1 Iron-presented Conquer the High Banks program. Chad Andersen topped the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds and Jason Danley took the IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car checkers [Read More]

Congratulations keep coming following Domeier’s first IMCA Hobby Stock win

REDWOOD FALLS, Minn. (Aug. 4, 2024) – There was no shortage of encouragement to make the switch when Tyler Domeier was thinking about getting into an IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock. Just six starts into his career in the class, the congratulations started coming in following his first feature win. Domeier won the Sunday night main event at Redwood Speedway, wheeling a 2008 Terminator to the checkers ahead of Tayte Harazin and Cory Probst. “I started on a really fast line. I started front row outside so I started on the preferred line. I just stuck to that line and I just needed to race clean,” the hometown speedster said. “I knew if I could keep it straight and clean I’d probably be fast enough to hold off Harazin and Probst on the restart. That definitely made me a bit nervous.” The one caution came in the 15-lapper came when contact got Domeier’s brother Joey sideways – with maybe five circuits left. Domeier was leading by five car lengths at the time. The restart didn’t become [Read More]

By Sheldon Wickwar COLBY, Kan. (Aug. 2, 2024) – Every racer dreams of winning big races and taking home a big trophy and Eddie Belec, Kyle Pfeifer, Blaine Walt, Brady Bencken and Kyle Mortensen all did that Friday night at the Thomas County Fair.

Nordyke gained the early advantage and pulled away from second-running Nick Hankins until a lap six caution. Walt took the lead off of the restart and duked it out with Nordyke until a lap nine yellow. Walt then pulled away by a big margin over Josh Barnhart, who charged up to second place late in the feature, to pick up win number four of the season. Second was Barnhart and third was Nordyke. IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks were next and their 15-lap feature event started with a front row of Gordon French and Aiden Miller, but Bencken quickly gained the lead after making it three-wide on the initial start.

Osborn scores first-ever win at CJ Speedway

By Jerry Mackey COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa (Aug. 2, 2024) – Troy and Keaton Mitchell of Mitchell Farm Bureau and Mitchell Arms and Ammo hosted the racing action on Friday night with a strong car count and a great crowd in attendance on a beautiful early August evening. It is always very special to see a driver score their first ever feature win and that happened on Friday night in the very tough Friesen Performance IMCA Modified division. With a stellar field of 18 drivers taking the initial green flag it was the young Kolton Osborn setting sail and shooting into the lead from his third row start. Osborn, who has been knocking on the door of victory lane all year at CJ Speedway, finally saw his hard work come to fruition but the win was anything but easy. As the laps wound down, Osborn’s lead evaporated and local hot shoe Jarrett Brown closed in as lapped traffic came into play. On the final lap, the front pair split as both shot by a lapped car [Read More]

Flippo dominates at Britt, Smith gets 99th win

By Chad Meyer BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 2, 2024) – Three different drivers were in the second position at different times of Friday’s Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Hancock County Speedway. Jerry Flippo, however, proved to be the one who could move up a spot. Flippo, who has suffered through a summer of bad luck, finished the race more than a half track ahead of eventual runner-up Cody Knecht. Knecht charged from sixth to finish ahead of Clint Hatlestad and Jeremy Mills. In the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, Troy Swearingen made the last lap count as he made a huge move to the bottom of turns one and two to sweep up in front of long-time leader Parker Slagle. It was Swearingen’s second win at the Britt track. Kevin Opheim finished third ahead of Heath Tulp. Dustin West was fast in the Friese Performance IMCA Northern SportMods, leading the most laps, but several yellows and a late-race red flag proved his undoing as Alec Fett sailed around the outside of turn four in the waning [Read More]

Whisler wheels to Loggers’ Cup win

By Ben Deatherage COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (July 27, 2024) – Ian Whisler wheeled, and willed, himself to a dominating Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature win during Cottage Grove Speedway’s Virgil Hanson Memorial Loggers’ Cup. Carter Patterson powered to the front on the opening lap. Behind him, Eston Whisler duked it out with Bricen James for second. James secured the runner-up position only to have his night end when mechanical problems ended his night early and brought out a caution. John Campos and Whisler inherited second and third, respectively. When the restart got the field back up to speed, Ian Whisler, the younger of the Whisler brothers, blitzed toward the front and captured the race lead by the completion of the third circuit. While he tried to establish a sizable gap, a fierce competition for second occurred with Patterson, Eston Whisler and Campos all going at it. Campos moved into second place on a restart. Ian Whisler again got out to a healthy lead but was slowed down with eight laps remaining due to the event’s [Read More]
