Iron Man Challenge checkers yield gold for Gemmill, Elliott

LONGDALE, Okla. (Oct. 10) – Troy Gemmill and Robert Elliott both proved their mettle in winning IMCA main events at Longdale Speedway’s Iron Man Challenge. Gemmill scored Saturday’s $6,000 Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified checkers, along with a berth on the ballot for the 2016 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Elliott took home the $3,000 top prize for IMCA SportMods. The mandatory pit stop halfway through the 60-lap main event came at the best possible time for Gemmill, who had led the first 28 circuits from the pole before getting together with a lapped car and spinning into the infield. Still rolling, he fired the engine back up and got back on the track having lost just two positions. More importantly, the stop at midway gave him the opportunity to change a tire that was slowly going flat as a result of the incident two laps earlier. “I was amazed that I was in third,” admitted Gemmill. “We changed the tire, I drank a lot of water and conferred with my son Brendon (who would go [Read More]

Burch, Gaylord rumble to top IMCA Modified paydays at Thunder on the Hill

By Larry Lowrey Jr. MAYETTA, Kan. (Oct. 9-10) – Corey Burch and Ryan Gaylord rumbled to $2,000 Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feature wins at Thunder Hill Speedway’s season-ending Thunder on the Hill special.

That left Jet Racing Central Region champion Dylan Sherfick and Jordy Nelson to try and unseat Burch at the top. It was all Burch down the stretch while Sherfick, Nelson, Eddie Ingram and Jay Noteboom rounded out the top five. The Saturday finale went down to the final lap. The eighth starting [Read More]

MERCED, Calif. (Sept. 26-27) – Bobby Hogge IV repeated history in taking both legs of the fourth annual Delta-Valley Classic at Antioch Speedway and Merced Speedways, collecting $4,000 in winnings and a $500 bonus. Hogge had accomplished the same difficult Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feat four years earlier. Challenged by 16-year-old Ethan Dotson, the veteran Hogge searched for the right groove to maintain the lead Sunday at Merced. Paul Stone, who had run second the night before at Antioch, chased Dotson across the line. “Ethan is a true racer. He left me room to race him clean. He’s very impressive for his age,” Hogge said from victory lane. “As the track became slicker and slicker, I tried to stay in the same ruts lap after lap to maintain traction.” Earlier this summer, Dotson pulled off an upset, winning the Harris Clash at Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, Iowa. He was the first Californian to win that race. Soft-spoken Dotson was modest after the Merced show. “I came close to passing him a few [Read More]
