By Ben Deatherage ESTEVAN, Sask. (Aug. 23, 2024) – Kyle Scholpp had the entire crowd at Estevan Motor Speedway on its feet when the checkered flag waved to bring the IMCA Sunoco IMCA Stock Car main event to a close. The Lampman driver, who started on the inside pole, held on by a margin to win his third victory of the season at his home track on championship night. Austin Daae led at the line on the first lap after a spirited battle with Scholpp. Still, Scholpp countered with a terrific run on the backstretch to obtain the lead on the second corner. Gabe Deschamp would scoot past Daae for second on lap seven. Daae tried to stay on the podium as his hands were full with Chase Davidson chasing for third. Daae tried to reclaim second, but Deschamp kept him in check. Things got interesting late when the lone caution came out with three trips around remaining. Daae went to work on his trademark high line while Deschamp rolled the bottom, both in pursuit [Read More]

Shaun Bruns led the first 13 laps with Josh Larsen on his tail. Bruns and Tim Pessek then dueled multiple laps with Bruns falling back, Pessek taking over the lead and Dave Moriarty moving up a couple spots to challenge. A yellow flag came out for a spinning car on the 17th lap. On the restart, Moriarty took the lead and remained in front to win his first feature of the year.
