Tooley is tops in IMCA Modified main at Mandan

MANDAN, N.D. (May 20) – Jay Tooley led every lap in earning his career-first Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feature win Friday at Dacotah Speedway. Tooley started on the pole and after a series of quick cautions, John Corell looked low for the lead but was denied by Tooley. As Corell continued to battle Tooley, Brent Schlafmann had his hands full in third place with Mark Dahl. They raced hard door-to-door for several laps until Dahl got loose and spun on lap 10. On the restart, Dahl spun again, ending his night early. Corell again tried to complete the pass on Tooley while Marlyn Seidler and Jeremy Keller caught up to the front pair. As the laps wound down, Corell’s car began to fade and he lost positions to Seidler, Keller and Schlafmann. Tooley found extra speed on the top of the track and started to pull away with seven laps to go. He led all 25 laps while Seidler finished second ahead of Keller.

Christofferson wins a close one at Atchison County

By Rick Staley ATCHISON, Kan. (May 20) – Half a car length was the margin of victory for Alvie Christofferson in Friday’s IMCA Sunoco Stock Car main event at Atchison County Raceway. Marvin Griffith Jr. had jumped to the early lead and appeared to have the car to beat until contact with lapped traffic sent him to the rear of the field. Greg Keuhn took over the lead until other Brad Whitney made a move of his own to take over the point. Keuhn charged back by Whitney as Christofferson arrived at the front. Christofferson and Keuhn swapped the lead back and forth in the closing laps with Christofferson picking up the feature win. Keuhn finished a close second with Josh Steele a solid third. Week one winner Jim Powell Jr. was the big mover of the race, placing fourth, with Griffith recovering to finish fifth.

Pepper prevails at Dodge City

By Lonnie Wheatley DODGE CITY, Kan. (May 21) – Michael Pepper wasted little time moving to the front in the 12-lap IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature field to capture his second win of the year Saturday at Dodge City Raceway Park. Starting inside the second row, defending track champ Pepper used the low side to charge into the lead on the opening lap and then held off Dusty Witthuhn the rest of the way as Chris Oliver fought off Marlin Hogie the entire distance to secure show honors. Starting five rows deep in the 20-lap Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feature did little to deter Cole Traugott. Traugott needed just eight laps to chase down early leader Tom Beavers and then checked out on the field to convincingly capture his third triumph in the last four Dodge City events in a non-stop affair. Mike Roach worked his way from the 10th starting position to add his name to the list of IMCA SportMod feature winners at Dodge City thus far in 2016. Roach, who won [Read More]

Fast track, fast cars at Off Road Speedway

By Randy Pospishil NORFOLK, Neb. (May 21) – Off Road Speedway featured a dry slick track Saturday night and drivers took full advantage. The most competitive race of the night belonged to the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks where two hometown drivers at the top of the Off Road Speedway’s standings, point leader TeJay Mielke and Jeremy Hoskinson, dueled for the lead during final seven laps, often side-by-side, before Mielke eked out a win by a matter of inches at the checkered flag. Ironically, Mielke had been second last week in a similar finish after being edged at the line by Derek Husted. “The division is real tough with great drivers, This was a very clean, competitive race,” Mielke said. “I just happened to have the ‘long fender’ on this week after losing last week. The track was pretty nice tonight, slick, smooth.” Hoskinson’s runner-up spot was his fourth top five finish in five nights of racing at the Off Road Speedway. Nate DeSive was third. National point leader Ramsey Meyer won the division’s main event [Read More]

LaCrosse is King of the Ring at Oshkosh

OSHKOSH, Wis. (May 20) – The fact that Benji LaCrosse couldn’t qualify for the main event out of his heat race gave no consolation to his Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified opponents Friday at Oshkosh SpeedZone Raceway. LaCrosse ran second in his “B” feature, lined up 18th on the main event grid and promptly raced to the $1,000 King of the Ring checkers. The win put him on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Mike Wedelstadt set the opening lap pace before R.C. Whitwell took over and started to open a lead. Many eyes were on the rear of the field, however, as transfers Brian Drexler, Todd Dart, LaCrosse and Brian Mullen began working through the tight field. A lone caution appeared on lap 11 and Whitwell again pulled away from the field on the restart, opening a quarter-lap lead as the battle for second saw Marcus Yarie, Steve Schneider and LaCrosse mix it up with Kevin Baldry and Wedelstadt. Yarie was the first to break out of the group, taking second on lap 16. [Read More]
