Bounty On IMCA Stocker Snellenberger at Eagle River Speedway on August 5

By Joe Verdegan EAGLE RIVER, Wis. (Aug. 2, 2025) — Eagle River Speedway has placed a bounty on Wisconsin’s winningest Sunoco IMCA Stock Car driver – Pulaski’s “Hot Rod” Snellenberger – for the Tuesday, August 5 show at the Northwoods third-mile clay oval. Snellenberger, a two-time track champion at ERS, is undefeated this season with six feature wins in six appearances. Any IMCA Stock Car driver who can beat him on August 5 will receive a $300 bonus through the bounty. And that amount could increase before race night. To collect the bounty, Snellenberger must be running competitively and on the lead lap when the checkered flag flies. The track will use IMCA’s weekly point average system, so Snellenberger will likely start deep in the field — along with any out-of-town challengers looking to claim the bonus. The division’s highest car count this season has been 24. Since beginning his IMCA Stock Car career in 1993, Snellenberger has tallied 235 career feature wins. Fans or businesses interested in adding to the bounty can call 920-676-5990 or [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (July 30, 2025) — Kevin Williamson dominated Wednesday night’s 25-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Cottage Grove Speedway, becoming the third different winner in as many rounds of the 2025 Midweek Mayhem Series.

Things got interesting late as heavier traffic came into play with just three laps to go, but the five-time and reigning track champion Jake Mayden, wheeling the Dustin Brooks-owned no. 5M, couldn’t close the gap. Jesse Williamson, a multi-time IMCA Wild West Speedweek champion and older brother to the winner, finished third aboard the SDMF Customs no. W5 house car.
