By Ben Deatherage COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (Aug. 6) – Despite power problems in the southern Willamette Valley for much of the day due to a local aviation accident, it was fully restored just in time so that all of the racing would be completed for Fan Appreciation Night at Cottage Grove Speedway.

Coming to the white flag Williamson edged out Ferrando, but Ferrando took the spot back out of turn two. When the two cars exited the fourth and final turn it was Williamson collecting his third local win of the season. Grey Ferrando got sideways on the front stretch and got together with Mark Wauge.

By Greg Aregoni LUXEMBURG, Wis. (Aug. 5) – Benji LaCrosse has mastered the art of winning the Kim Parsons Memorial Races in 2016. He added another Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feature win to his credit after starting 11th at Luxemburg Speedway. Brandon Long led the opening laps before Greg Gretz showed the way starting on lap three. A caution on lap 12 brought R.M. Van Pay and LaCrosse to the bumper of the leader. LaCrosse, who seemed to have forward bite wherever he put his racer, moved low and made a bid for the lead. Gretz fought him off once but LaCrosse went high and cruised. LaCrosse went high and grabbed the lead with four laps remaining where he fought off a late-race caution. Gretz finished second in front of Van Pay.

Cooney scores IMCA Late Model win at Marshalltown

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (Aug. 5) – After more than four inches of rain on Thursday evening, and the infield a muddy bog with a pond that the Canada geese enjoyed earlier, Marshalltown Speedway still pulled off a full night of racing Friday. A full pit of 116 cars, that included the IMCA Late Models in their first of five consecutive weekly appearances, put on a great night of exciting racing action for the fans. The 25-lap Late Model feature did not start well when the front row of Ben Seemann and John Emerson got together just after the race went green. This relegated them to the tail for the restart. When things got back underway, it was hometown driver Darrel DeFrance grabbing the lead. By lap three, Todd Cooney had moved from his sixth row starting position, to tag on to DeFrance’s tail. DeFrance held him off for a few more laps until Cooney’s move out of turn four put him into the lead as they crossed the finish line at lap seven. Cooney then hummed along on the [Read More]

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (Aug. 4) – Derek Green, Ryan Ruter, Shannon Anderson, Tyler Thompson and Jake Simpson all earned feature wins at the Kossuth County Fair Race at Kossuth County Speedway in Algona on Thursday.

Craig Berhow and Troy Swearingen were on the front row at the start of the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature with Swearingen taking the lead on the opening circuit. On the next lap, Green used the high side of the oval to fly past Swearingen and immediately built a nice lead. Three laps later, the caution flag came out but once the race restarted the only question that remained was who would finish second as Green ran away from the 18-car field.

Sibley County checkers are Minnesota first for Nichols

ARLINGTON, Minn. (Aug. 3) – Mike Nichols added his first-ever win in Minnesota to his collection of 400-plus IMCA Sunoco Stock Car checkers Wednesday night. Nichols topped the $1,500 to win Sibley County Stock Car Shootout at Arlington Raceway, outrunning a host of home state heroes. “This was just the second time I’ve even raced in Minnesota. The first time was an October race at Jackson in 2000 or 2001, so it’s been a while,” he said. “Arlington is pretty similar to Shelby County Speedway (in Harlan, Iowa), my Saturday night track, so I kind of felt at home.” Nichols started the 25-lapper from inside row four. He was in the lead by lap five and battled Arlington regular Dan Mackenthun much of the distance. Two cars running in the top five brought out the only caution of the race on lap 20; mid-pack starter Derek Green found the fast line late and took over second but ran out of laps in his pursuit of the leader. Mackenthun, Matt Schauer and Luke Sathoff rounded out [Read More]
