By Dave Panske OSHKOSH, Wis. (May 15) – Bragging rights belonged to Mike Wedelstadt when the first round of the King of the Ring Series for Automotive Supply Company IMCA Modifieds brought 53 entries to Oshkosh SpeedZone Raceway Friday night. Twenty-four cars made up the main event grid and Wedelstadt and Brad Lautenbach started on the front row. The front pair pulled away at the start and for the first five laps ran side-by-side for the number one spot.  Wedelstadt was finally able to wrestle the point away and started to open his own lead. The battle behind was for third with Brian Mullen, Todd Dart, Eric Arneson, Johnny Whitman, Ed­die Muenster and Sean Jerovetz in a cluster behind. A lone caution flew for a stalled car on lap 11, and Wedelstadt resumed his lead after the restart with Lautenbach, Mullen, Dart, Arneson, Whitman, Muenster and Jerovetz now right behind. Wedelstadt pulled away over the final laps to record his first local feature win of the year.  Mullen caught Lautenbach with three laps left to take [Read More]

By Randy Pospishil NORFOLK, Neb. (May 9) – The second week of racing at Off Road Speedway featured a full slate of races, plus the conclusion of the previous week’s rain-interrupted program. The result was a rare opportunity for racers to secure multiple wins and Kyle Prauner took full advantage by completing a ‘hat trick’ of victories, finishing first in the make-up of last week’s Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature before adding wins in week two’s IMCA Sunoco Stock Car and the SportMod features. “It doesn’t happen very often, but not a lot of guys have two cars going,” Prauner said. “We’ve just got both cars humming right along so far. It’s been a good weekend; we won them both with both cars in Albion last night, too.” In other action from last week Tejay Mielke won the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature. In regular week two racing, Mielke benefited from Jeremy Hoskinson’s misfortune in the Hobby Stock feature. Mielke made his way through traffic, then chased Hoskinson for four laps before a restart that [Read More]
