Probst Prevails in Hobby Stock Thriller at Arlington

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (July 19, 2025) — A first lap yellow flag during the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock feature didn’t set the pace very well for the night. Dan Scharpe had troubles when his rear end locked up, sending him to the pit area for the night. Taylor Manderfield led the first four laps of the race before another yellow flew after contact between Ben Davis and Chad Volk. Both drivers were able to resume, but Davis restarted at the tail. That gave Cory Probst the opportunity he needed to get around both Manderfield and Blake Luinenburg to take the lead. Yet another yellow came out when R.J. Esquada’s hood blew off while running second, forcing him to retire. The restart opened the door for Luinenburg to challenge for the lead, but he and Probst battled to the finish with Probst coming out on top. Luinenburg was second and Volk raced his way back to third. Probst now owns 22 wins in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region, five of which have come at [Read More]

Dodson Powerful in Port Royal Win

By Frank Buhrman PORT ROYAL, Pa. (July 19, 2025) — Doug Dodson’s starting position – outside of the second row – presented an opportunity the veteran racer from Middletown wasn’t going to pass up. On the initial start of Saturday’s 20-lap River Valley Builders Pennsylvania Sprint Series feature at Port Royal Speedway, Dodson quickly moved into second place and was challenging early leader Mike Melair when the caution flew on lap three for Croix Beasom, who flipped at the fourth turn end of the frontstretch. Melair fired off strong on the restart, but Dodson wasted no time getting back to work. Just two laps later, he executed a clean slide job in turns one and two to take the lead—a position he never gave back. Dodson, smooth in traffic over the final four laps, cruised to the checkered flag for his 11th career PASS win, crossing 1.705 seconds ahead of last week’s Port Royal winner Josh Spicer. Spicer stormed from seventh to second, passing Melair on the final circuit. Melair, piloting the Rod Ort-owned entry, settled [Read More]

Ryan Cashes In Late to Win Wild Late Model Main at Davenport

By Mike McGuire DAVENPORT, Iowa (July 18, 2025) – Friday night at Davenport Speedway belonged to the first-timers — at least for 2025. Three feature winners parked in victory lane for the first time this season on the banks of the Mississippi, led by Matt Ryan in the Sunoco IMCA Late Models. The headline event looked more like a game of musical chairs than a race to the checkers. Jesse Bodin paced the opening circuit before Joe Beal charged to the front and appeared strong, only to pull off after five laps. Bodin resumed the lead for a short stint, but was soon overtaken by Bryce Garnhart, who took control until mechanical issues ended his bid on lap 15. Bodin again inherited the top spot, but Matt Ryan had worked his way into the mix and made his move on lap 22. The Dubuque driver led the final four circuits to claim his first Late Model win of the season at the ¼-mile oval, and 25th career victory at Davenport. The win was also Ryan’s second [Read More]

Baggett Awarded Ocean Speedway SportMod Win

By Steven Blakesley WATSONVILLE, Calif. (July 18, 2025) — Prunedale’s Max Baggett was officially awarded his first Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMod win of the 2025 season at Ocean Speedway, following the disqualification of initial winner D.J. Keldsen in post-race tech. Keldsen had originally led all 20 laps in a dominant wire-to-wire effort. The race began with a multi-car tangle on lap one between Rob Gallaher and Steven Allee, while ending the night for Emali VanHoff. Points leader Danny Wagner also encountered early trouble on lap three. Keldsen built a 5.49-second lead before a lap 17 caution for Gallaher’s spin erased the advantage. He held off the field through the final three laps but ultimately failed post-race inspection, handing Baggett the victory. Wagner rebounded to finish second, with Jim DiGiovanni rounding out the top three. The event was broadcast live on IMCA TV affiliate Stars On Dirt TV.

Henderson Charges to Redemption Win at I-90 Speedway

HARTFORD, S.D. (Jul. 12, 2025) –– Sam Henderson delivered a determined and emotional victory in the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car special at I-90 Speedway, rebounding from a crash the night before to score his first IMCA win of the 2025 campaign. Just hours after suffering heartbreak at Jackson Motorplex while leading, the Sullivan Racing crew went into overdrive to field another machine for Henderson, a 23-year-old standout from Sioux Falls. The team prepped the backup no. 91H, and Henderson made it count. Starting sixth on the grid, Henderson steadily carved through the field during the 25-lap main event. Early race leader Andrew Sullivan, in the primary no. 91, looked strong after drawing the pole in the frontstretch redraw and paced the first half of the feature. But disaster struck again for the team, as Sullivan cut a right rear tire while holding the lead. Henderson inherited the top spot and never looked back, fending off a late-race challenge from Dusty Ballenger to secure the win. Lee Goos Jr. completed the podium with a solid third-place showing.

Bombardo Outduels Maleski in Wild North Central Hobby Stock Finish

By Chris Kolstad BRAINERD, Minn. (Jul. 12, 2025) – The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock feature was hands down the race of the night at North Central Speedway. Josh Maleski jumped to the lead from the drop of the green and stretched out a sizable advantage over the field. Former track champions Mark Johnson and Brandon Bombardo methodically worked their way through traffic and settled into the top three in a caution-free 15-lap affair. Lapped traffic came into play with two laps to go, allowing Bombardo to close the gap to Maleski’s rear bumper. The two went at it hard in the final corners, slicing through traffic and getting together in turns three and four. Both cars slid sideways as they raced to the line in what looked like a near dead heat. Bombardo was scored the winner by inches, with Maleski second and Johnson third—until a minor post-race tech infraction cost Maleski the runner-up position, handing second to Johnson and third to Nick Dillenburg. The victory was Bombardo’s first of the season in the B&B Racing [Read More]
