WILLISTON, N.D. (May 20-21) – After putting on a pair of passing clinics, Travis Hagen and Chris Schroeder proved they knew how to stay at the front. Hagen won the Friday opener and Schroeder took the Saturday checkers at Williston Basin Speedway’s Can-Am Shootout. Both drivers earned $1,000 for their Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified victories and a berth on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational accompanied Schroeder’s checkers. Hagen was already vote eligible, having won a Can-Am show last summer. Jason Wolla was runner-up both nights, by half a car length on Friday and by two car lengths on Saturday. Hagen started 13th in Friday’s 25-lapper. He made the middle line work in getting to the front, passing Wolla with two laps to go and then hanging on for the win. “I’d gotten a good restart after a caution with five or six laps to go,” said Hagen, the winner for the first time this season Sunday at Nodak Speedway. “Both Jason and I were able to check out on the rest of [Read More]

By Bob Coney JEFFERSON, Iowa (May 22) – Tacky track conditions led to a fast night of action Sunday night at Raceway Park. The first of five IMCA divisions hit the track when the KISS 107 FM Sport Compact division headed out. Only one caution slowed the race at six laps to go with Luke Jackson holding onto the lead he took at the drop of the green flag. In the final dash to the checkered flag, it was Jack­son taking the win followed by point leader Ramsey Meyer. The Car Quest IMCA Hobby Stocks ran clean for the first six laps of the feature until the first yel­low of the evening brought the field together with pole sitter Mike Hanson leading Andy Hoffman, Craig Clift, Ron Jensen, and Dave Riley. A tangle on the restart took Hoffman and Riley out of contention. Hanson held on for his first win of the year followed by point leader Aaron Shearn. A.J. Boulware led the early laps of the MOPAR IMCA Northern SportMod feature until his uncle [Read More]

By Josh Reynolds STUART, Iowa (May 22) – Ricky Thornton Jr. raced up another Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modi­fied feature win Sunday at Stuart Speedway. Jake Murray held court early with Scott Simatovich and Scott Bash not far behind. After spinning in his heat and missing the invert, Thornton needed all of six laps to make it to fourth place. He was held up there until lap 12 when he got by Simatovich for third. One lap later he took second from Bash and set his sights on Murray. A little less than half a straighta­way separated the two, and in three laps that lead evaporated as Thornton powered his way to the front. Thornton went on to take the win with Murray second and Bash third. Josh Daniels regained the lead on the 15th circuit and took the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car win ahead of Derrick Rohe and Ben Walding. Shannon Anderson made the most of a lap 12 restart to catch Buck Schafroth and win the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock main. Schafroth and Jamie [Read More]

SEYMOUR, Wis. (May 22) – The 2016 season kicked off Sunday night at Seymour Raceway Park with the first IMCA wins going to Travis Van Straten and Lucas Lamberies. Eric Arneson sat on the pole for the 30-lap Coors Light IMCA Stock Car headliner and led the first four laps before defending national champion Van Straten slipped by. A couple laps later, Kyle Frederick moved into the runner-up spot and set his sights on the leader. After the mid-point, Van Straten held a length or two lead with Frederick attacking from the out­side line.  As lapped cars entered the picture, the pair had to work traffic as well as watch each other. The final 10 laps were a dog fight with the pair side-by-side and holding their preferred line much of that time. With three laps left, Frederick was finally able to get ahead to be scored as the leader. As they picked up the white flag a pair of slower cars were in the path in turn two. In a scramble to get by, Van Straten was somehow [Read More]
