LaCrosse plays chess with Czarneski at Luxemburg

By Greg Aregoni LUXEMBURG, Wis. (May 8) – Friday night was game night at Luxemburg Speedway, most notably in the IMCA Modified division when Benji LaCrosse was king. Russ Reinwald led the opening lap before heading down pit lane under caution. Tim Czarneski grabbed the top spot on the restart and pulled ahead of the field by half a straightaway. LaCrosse maneuvered through the field and got to the runner-up spot by lap 10. LaCrosse ran down Czarneski and a game of chess ensued. LaCrosse tried multiple lines with the leader maintaining the top of the track. With two circuits remaining, the duo reached lapped traffic. With the white flag in the air, Czarneski got behind a lapped vehicle on top of the track allowing LaCrosse to move to the bottom more quickly than the leader. LaCrosse stayed down low and got just enough bite to hold off Czarneski at the line. Rod Snellenberger was the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car winner. Todd Wiese topped the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Cody Junio led all 15 [Read More]

By Scott Owen SHAWANO, Wis. (May 9) – Mitch Stankowski gained redemption by winning his first career IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified feature Saturday at Shawano Speedway. Jesse Peebles started outside row one and quickly looked as though he had the car to beat. Behind Peebles, Stankowski moved in to second on the track and the two began to distance themselves from the rest of the field. Peebles built a comfortable lead by lap 10 when he caught up with the back of the pack and had to contend with lapped traffic. Peebles had difficulties negotiating lapped cars, which allowed Stankowski to close in. Peebles was forced low by the cars in front of him. Charlie Wild joined the mix as Peebles and Stankowski raced side-by-side in lapped traffic for the lead. Stankowski was finally able to clear Peebles on lap 17 to take the lead and went on to win his first career feature in the division after nearly doing so last week.

Bowers holds on for big win at Thunder Hill

MAYETTA, Kan. (May 2) – Opening night at Thunder Hill Speedway saw a BSB Manufacturing IMCA Modified driver return to find glory at a track he learned how to race on. Steven Bowers Jr. started his career in the street stock class at Thunder Hill but spent the last few years away from Mayetta chasing the outlaw tracks.
