AUBURN, Mich. (Aug. 24) – Myron DeYoung raced his way onto the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot and picked up a bonus doing it at Tri-City Motor Speedway’s midweek special. DeYoung earned $1,225 for his Main Street Seed and Supply IMCA Modified victory and picked up bonus money on top of that check for ending A.J. Ward’s winning streak. The IMCA Modifieds had 28 drivers check in for the opportunity to win big money by winning their 40-lap feature. Todd Matheson and Chaz Pray brought the field to the initial green flag. Matheson set the early pace before Matt Szecsodi reeled him in and made the pass by lap nine. Defending champion DeYoung eventually overtook Szecsodi just past the halfway point of the race. The 12th starting Ward was having difficulty getting to the front but by the closing laps found himself in the top five. Ward’s run to the front ended when he got tangled up with the lapped car of Rusty Zeigler, went off the top of turn three and was sent to the [Read More]

MILL HALL, Pa. (Aug. 26) – Reed Thompson was running third at the right time in Friday’s Pennsylvania Sprint Series feature at Clinton County Motor Speedway. Tylor Cochran had moved right on the back of leader Scott Lutz with two circuits to go in the 20-lapper for IMCA EMI RaceSaver Sprint Cars. The white flag was out and going into the second turn, the two made contact with Lutz rolling and Cochran spinning. The incident handed the lead over to Thompson, who hung on through a green, white, checkered finish. “I do not like to win races that way. We did not have the car for those two, they were quicker than us,” he said during the post-race interview. “I lost my good car at the beginning of the year and we have been fighting with this one to get it going. We are just starting to find things to make it work and I guess we were in the right spot tonight to get a win.” Ryan Lynn was second and Ken Duke took [Read More]

PORT ROYAL, Pa. (Aug. 27) – Once he got to the front, there was no catching Tyler Reeser in Saturday’s Pennsylvania Sprint Series feature at Port Royal Speedway. Drew Ritchey drove from his fourth starting spot into the lead on the fourth lap of the 18-lap main event for IMCA EMI RaceSaver Sprint Cars, overtaking Scott Ellerman for control. Ritchey threatened to run away for his first-ever oval victory but a caution bunched the field and placed Jeff Miller and Reeser on his tail for the restart. Reeser pounced on Miller for second at the new green and then blasted past Ritchey for control a lap later. Reeser then pulled away to his second win of the year at the track. 
Miller then also got around Ritchey for second. 
Ritchey rode home third followed by Scott Ellerman and Cale Reigel. Feature results – 1. Tyler Reeser; 2. Jeff Miller; 3. Drew Ritchey; 4. Scott Ellerman; 5. Cale Rei­gel; 6. Reed Thompson; 7. Darren Miller; 8. Mark Watkins; 9. Ken Duke Jr.; 10. Kyle Ganoe; 11. Kyle [Read More]

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (Aug. 27) – Championship Night at Eagle Raceway saw five-year class veteran Dana Deeke win his first local NAPA IMCA Northern SportMod main event. “The track tonight, with the corrections we made, had me very good tonight,” he said. “It was nice and smooth. I really enjoy racing here. The competition is always great.” R.J. Maas was also a first-time winner at Eagle, in the Mountain Dew Kick Start IMCA Sport Com­pacts. “Finally! We had a good track tonight, nice and tacky,” the outside row four starter said. “It was amazing. I started moving up, then when I got to third I started to reel in the 11H (Nick Morris). When he dropped out I started checking the scoreboard to see how many laps were left.” Dustin Andersen topped another Kaplan University IMCA Modified feature. Jason Martin started 12th and finished first in the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature. Chad Fegley was first across the stripe in the Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stock main event.

ARLINGTON, Minn. (Aug. 27) – Elijah Zevenbergen led from start to finish to pick up the $1,000 winner’s check at Arlington Raceway’s Joe Voss Memorial for IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars Saturday night. Zevenbergen had strong challenges, first from Chad Schroeder and then from Derek Green. Green suffered a flat tire and went into the work area on the red flag that waved after Adam Re­vier got too high on the backstretch, went over the cushion lost control barrel rolled several times down the track. Revier was OK but his car was damaged. After that restart, the race was all Zevenbergen. Matt Speckman worked behind him but had to settle for second ahead of Dean Cornelius. Green made his way back up to fourth. Wisconsin traveler Shawn Wagner finished fifth, earning the hard charger bonus plus a new front bumper by passing 12 cars.
