By Jerry Mackey DUBUQUE, Iowa (June 5) – The Out Pace Racing Products IMCA Late Model feature thrilled the fans with plenty of exciting wheel to wheel action Sunday at Dubuque Speedway. Luke Goedert took the lead from early race leader Jerry King and appeared to be on his way to his first local win of 2016 but Tyler Droste had other ideas. Droste took the green in the 10th posi­tion and steadily worked his way to the front in the 25-lap feature that ran caution-free. Droste used both the high line and the extreme low side on his way to the front. Droste led the field under the white flag and then lapped traffic was a factor on the last circuit. Goedert ran the high line in turn four and Droste dove low and was able to get to the checkers taking the win by a mere couple of feet. Luke Merfeld came from the fifth row to take third ahead of Dan Shelliam. Ryan DeShaw scored his first feature win of the season [Read More]

By Greg Aregoni FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (June 3) – Brian Mullen had to wait seven days to pick up his first feature win of the season at 141 Speedway in the Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modifieds. It was well worth the wait as he took home the top prize of $1,000 for the Red race win. Jay Matthias rocketed from his front row starting spot and looked early to be the man to beat until he caught lapped traffic. Matthias had to slow, which allowed Mullen to play catch up.  Mullen reeled in Mathias and used a power move down low to grab the lead for good off turn four. Mullen held off a late charge from Matthias to take home the win. Benji LaCrosse moved to third late over Tyler Wilson. Russ Reinwald finished fifth.  Mullen’s win earned him a spot on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. The second portion of the IMCA Modified show was called due to fog and potentially unsafe condi­tions. Modifieds will run double features next week with [Read More]

By Dru Brown BILLINGS, Mont. (June 4) – A strong run from start to finish put Travis Davis in Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified victory lane Saturday at Billings Motorsports Park. Davis rocketed to the top spot at the drop of the green while Beau Nave was quickly in second with Jeremy Meirhofer in third, moving to the bottom line to try to make things happen. Hank Berry started all the way back in the 10th position but that hardly slowed him down.  Berry challenging Nave for second and eventually wrestled it away.  Another yellow flag halted the ac­tion, and on this restart Meirhofer again stuck his car to the bottom lane but to no avail. Berry was sizing up Travis Davis in every corner, but the laps were quickly ticking away. He fi­nally got a run on Davis but lapped traffic caused Berry to slam on the brakes and Davis flew by again. A quick yellow waved and on the restart Davis and Berry again separated from the field.  Berry gave it everything he had in the [Read More]
