Saturday almost had it all at Shawano

By Scott Owen SHAWANO, Wis. (June 10) — One night removed from a full moon, the Shawano Speedway almost had it all … a nasty wreck, a first-time winner, sweet redemption following a nasty wreck and drivers coming from deep in the field. Joey Taycher got soaked in victory lane after his first career IMCA Modified victory. Travis Van Straten won his fourth local IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature of the season and Jason Ebert won his first Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature of the season. The IMCA Modified feature got off to a scary start as more than half the field was involved in a wreck at the end of the back straight away. Lance Arneson rolled multiple times before his car came to rest on its side. All drivers were okay though numerous cars were eliminated from action. Once the race got going again, Taycher and Matt McDermid raced side-by-side for the top spot before Taycher pulled ahead. Taycher led the rest of the race for his first career win in the division. McDermid held on to finish [Read More]

Joe Zrostlik led the first four laps and chased Cooney the rest of the way to take second. Third went to Paul Nagle, Darrel DeFrance was fourth and Greg Kastli took fifth. Shannon Anderson won for the fifth time locally in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks while Damon Murty scored his third straight IMCA Sunoco Stock Car checkers.

Kay ends test drive in Farley’s victory lane

By Jerry Mackey FARLEY, Iowa (June 9) – Friday was a beautiful night for stock car racing at the all-new Farley Speedway. The GSI Collision Specialists IMCA Modifieds were the featured division with their 20-lap feature bringing the final checkered flag of the night. Justin Kay had worked on Richie Gustin’s no. 19G car in his Wheatland shop all day and decided with Gustin’s permission to take the Modified to Farley and test the changes made. The changes adapted well as Kay chased down race leader Matt Gansen and made the pass for the lead as the race passed the midway point. Kay went on to take the checkers ahead of Gansen and Austin Moyer. Jon Merfeld was the beneficiary of a blown right rear tire on Out-Pace Racing Products IMCA Late Model feature race leader Joel Callahan. The misfortune for Callahan came as the leaders raced to the white flag. Merfeld took the win ahead of Eric Pollard. Tyler Soppe scored the GSI Collision Specialists IMCA Northern SportMod feature win, his fourth in a [Read More]
