It was awesome and it was amazing: Sheen is IMCA Stock Car winner at Cardinal special

  EUNICE, N.M. (May 27-28) – Michael Sheen had to give serious thought to describing his racing weekend at Cardinal Speedway. The winner of the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature at Cardinal’s eighth annual Kelly Sheen Memorial, held in honor of his father, eventually got around to using the words “awesome” – twice – and “amazing.” “I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. We ended up getting lucky and pulled it off,” said Sheen, who won the Saturday qualifier to earn the Sunday pole start and then led all 25 laps of the main event. “There were a whole bunch of guys behind me who could have won this race.” The victory was good for $2,500 and Sheen, like a number of other drivers racing at Eunice over the holiday weekend donated his share of the purse to the scholarship fund established in his father’s name. Also the winner of the 2015 event, Sheen was catching up with the back of the field before a late restart. He led Colby Deming, Cary White, Jody [Read More]

By Lonnie Wheatley DODGE CITY, Kan. (May 28) – Clay Sellard started his own IMCA Modified winning streak Sunday at Dodge City Raceway Park.

Shawn Strand finished third while Marlyn Seidler made a late race pass to finish fourth ahead of Tracy Domagala. While everyone raced alongside the guard rail, Keller decided to go to the high side. One by one, Keller picked off drivers for position and the high line gave him the extra momentum to cut into Domagala’s large lead. A caution on lap 12 was the last thing Domagala wanted to see as it put Keller and Strand on his rear bumper. It was a three-car battle for the lead on the restart but Keller took the lead with 11 laps to go. Keller started to pull away as Domagala now had his hands full with Strand and Dahl. Dahl used the high line to pass Domagala and Strand for second. Chase Schlafmann ended Jason Berg’s Mach-1 Sport Compact winning streak by a matter of inches. The front pair had to dodge [Read More]
