Dowell tops Dodge City Stocks

By Lonnie Wheatley DODGE CITY, Kan. (July 24) – Randy Dowell made a late move around race-long leader Trevor Schmidt to capture his first IMCA Sunoco Stock Car win at Dodge City Raceway Park. Schmidt led from the outset after starting on the pole but soon had Dowell and Brett Copeland nipping at his heels in the non-stop 15-lapper. Dowell’s persistence paid off, as he slipped under Schmidt exiting turn two on the 14th round and held the point the final lap-and-a-half to post the win. Schmidt crossed the stripe a close second with Copeland third. In Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified action, Bucklin’s Clay Sellard rallied past Jack Kirchoff on the high side for the point at the midway point of the 20-lapper and checked out for his fourth DCRP score of the year. Dwayne Dechant extended the streak of consecutive different winners in IMCA SportMod action to 11 races dating back to last year’s season finale with his 20-lap triumph.

Rigsby repeats at Thunder Hill

By Larry Lowrey Jr. MAYETTA, Kan. – Bryan Rigsby held off challenges from Matt Haid and Mat Stallbaumer in winning his second straight Repair Service IMCA Stock Car main event Saturday at Thunder Hill Speedway. Stallbaumer, previously the only repeat winner this season, owned the top spot early and went door-to-door with Rigsby. As they came down the front stretch, the two made contact and Stallbaumer spun to bring out the yellow. When the race went back to green, it was Marvin Griffith Jr.’s chance to take the top spot from Rigsby but a couple yellows halted his momentum.
