By Ben Deatherage BANKS, Ore. (June 18) – John Henry hammered out a win in Saturday’s Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature at Sunset Speedway.

Michael Melton was second and Archie Somers was third.
By Dave Panske SEYMOUR, Wis. (June 19) – Charles Van Ooyen took the final checkers of the night Sunday at Seymour Raceway Park. Brandon Gagnon set the pace early for the Coors Light IMCA Stock Cars with Trent Nolan moving into the top spot on lap three. The pack stayed tight and Travis Springstroh moved up to challenge and took the lead on lap 10. Defending national champion Travis Van Straten, Van Ooyen, Bob Czarapata and Kyle Frederick were moving up through traffic. There were several cautions in the first half of the race but the final restart came on lap 15 and the last half of the race stayed green. Van Ooyen and Frederick challenged Springstroh after the restart and Van Ooyen made the move to the inside to take charge on lap 16. Frederick followed into second one lap later and the pair took off from the field. By the time Van Straten took third, the leaders had a several car length advantage. With a clear track ahead of him, Van Straten quickly closed the gap and for the final [Read More]
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. Leading the final two laps of the Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feature was money in the bank for Money. Colton Osborn ran a near-flawless race in leading the first 18 circuits, only to end up with runner-up accolades. Anthony Roth worked through traffic to finish third. Being at the point during the laps that matter the most was Gottschalk in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature. 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. Woken led from the 11th lap until the final circuit when Nichols worked his magic and scored the victory. Woken crossed the line in second place with [Read More]
By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (June 18) – Anthony Kobus became a first-time NAPA IMCA Northern SportMod feature winner Saturday at Eagle Raceway. “It’s always more tricky when you start out front. The track was tacky and slick, depending on where you were on it,” said the five-year veteran. “I love coming here to Eagle, because of the competition. If you can win here, it’s a real accomplishment.” Gary Saathoff, Shelly Andersen and Arie Schouten were next across the stripe. Dustin Anderson drove to the Kaplan University IMCA Modified checkers. Tyler Drueke raced from 12th starting to first in the IMCA Racesaver EMI Sprint Car main event. Roy Armstrong was the Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stock winner and Tom Powell won for the first time this season in the Mountain Dew Kick Start IMCA Sport Compacts.
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]
By Josh Reynolds STUART, Iowa (June 19) – The race was for second once Jeff James got to the front of the Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified field at Stuart Speedway. Bob Daniels and Todd Cooney brought the Modifieds to the initial green with Cooney taking the early lead over Daniels and James. James moved to second on lap three and set his sights on the lead as Cooney continued to show the way. James slowly chewed away at Cooney’s lead and on lap 10 took over at the front. From there the race was for second as James went on to win. Jake Murray was second with Josh Gilman third, Cooney fourth and Todd VanEaton fifth. Josh Daniels held the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car lead until Marcus Fagan shot by on lap eight. Daniels worked to find a faster groove, but it was not to be as Fagan went on to the win. Daniels finished second with Brandon Pruitt third, Robbie Merkle fourth and Chris Pruitt fifth. A bobble by Buck Schafroth allowed Jamie [Read More]
By Jerry Mackey WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (June 18) – West Liberty Raceway held a full program of IMCA Weekly Racing on Saturday night on a beautiful night for racing. The IMCA iWireless IMCA Late Model 25-lapper saw 44-year racing veteran Ron Boyse take off from the front row and lead the race until lap 18 when Andy Eckrich put his no. 56 into the lead for good. Eckrich stretched out the lead in taking a comfortable win over Boyse and Kyle Hinrichs. The Performance Concepts IMCA Modifieds continue to provide the fans with very exciting racing. Saturday night was no exception as local favorite Kurt Kile made the winning pass coming to the checkers taking the win ahead of Dakota Hayden. Larry Herring came from mid-pack to take third. The Weikert Iron & Metal IMCA Northern SportMod main belonged to Tim Plummer. Plummer went to the low side early and quickly shot to the front en route to an impressive win over Brett Lowry and Dalton Simonsen. David Brandies debuted a new Kile Motorsports IMCA [Read More]
By Lonnie Wheatley DODGE CITY, Kan. (June 18, 2016) – Mike Lunow denied a late challenge from Clay Sellard for Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified honors Saturday at Dodge City Raceway Park. Lunow raced into the lead on the eighth round and then survived a late caution that gave Clay Sellard a shot at making it two wins in a row in the 20-lapper. After starting eighth, Lunow needed just two laps to work his way up to third and then took second from Kale Beavers by the fifth round. Three laps later, Lunow battled past Tracy Link for the point and checked out on the field. In Lunow’s wake, Sellard battled through the field and took second away from Link with a handful of laps to go but hardly had Lunow in sight a full straightaway in the distance. That changed when the caution flew with just three laps to go when Randle McRoberts looped it off turn four and collected Trent Gray and William Nusser in a high impact collision. Set for a three-lap [Read More]
MANDAN, N.D. (June 17) – Inches made the difference between the top three places Friday at Dacotah Speedway, as Mark Dahl got the best of Jordan Huettl and Jason Wolla in the evening’s Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feature. Huettl went from fourth starting to first early in the main event, before a series of cautions slowed the pace. Following the restart on lap eight, Dahl passed Wolla for third and then caught Shawn Strand for second. Strand fell into the clutches of Wolla and Spencer Wilson. They raced three-wide for third until Wolla shuffled into third. With 10 laps to go, Huettl’s lead started to diminish as he started catching lapped traffic. Dahl was all over Huettl’s rear bumper but lapped traffic made it difficult to pass. Wolla quickly caught the leaders and made it a three-car battle. Dahl dove low under Huettl as Wolla looked to the outside. As they crossed the Open Road Honda finish line three wide, Dahl won by inches over Huettl and Wolla. Jason Berg was the Mach-1 Sport [Read More]
