Meyer wins 100th on ‘big night’ of racing at Off Road Speedway 

By Randy Pospishil NORFOLK, Neb. (June 18) – Multiple drivers experienced a ‘big night’ of racing at Off Road Speedway Saturday night but none more so than Ramsey Meyer. Meyer, the IMCA Mach-1 Sport Compact national points leader, won for the second straight week at Norfolk but this win was even more special as the Pierce driver recorded his 100th career victory in the division. “I’ve been fighting for that for the last, I don’t know how many, races,” Meyer said. “To finally get that, hopefully we can get some momentum going now.” Starting on the inside of the third row, Meyer immediately squeezed through the midst of the four cars in front of him to get the lead early, then maintained it during two cautions for his fifth win in seven starts this season at Off Road. With a second-place showing, Kandie Smidt managed her first top five finish while Brooke Fluckiger’s race-long progress through the 12-car field ended with a didn’t-quite-get-there effort at the finish line as Dustin Jackson, in a borrowed car, [Read More]

By Kelly Ninas LEXINGTON, Neb. (June 19) – Earning trips to the winner’s circle Sunday at Lexington Raceway were Clay Money, Daniel Gottschalk, Mike Nichols and Jacob Olmstead.

After leading much of the way, Cole Egge was second while third went to Trent Roth. Nichols picked up IMCA Sunoco Stock Car career win number 399 in dramatic fashion. Casey Werkmeister grabbed the lead on the second lap and stayed in front until Casey Woken used the bottom groove to get past.

Moore has the most in Raceway Park Modified main 

By Bob Coney JEFFERSON, S.D. (June 19) – A perfectly prepared track provided multiple grooves and a fast night of IMCA racing Sunday at Raceway Park. The Total Motors IMCA Modified feature saw the fastest action of the night and a controversial ending. Bob Moore got past Jason Schneiders on the second lap and led Jim Cole, Chris Abelson and Ricky Stephan most of the feature. With four laps remaining, Cole got a huge run out of the fourth turn on the outside line, while leader Moore was powering up the track from his inside position. The two came together at the flag stand with Cole clipping the rear of Moore’s car and sending both drivers scrambling for control into the first turn. When the dust settled, Cole led the pack out of the second turn followed by Moore and Abelson. At that point, a caution flew and Cole was penalized back to third for rough driving, giving the lead back to Moore. Moore held on in the final run to the checkered flag over [Read More]
