Hollerich rumbles to first IMCA Modified win in Redline North Star Series opener at Jackson

JACKSON, Minn. (April 26) – Opening night of the third annual Redline Racing Parts North Star Series set the stage for Mat Hollerich’s IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified career-first feature win. The $800 checkers came Saturday at Jackson Speedway. Hollerich started on the pole and checked out on everybody in a 20-lap feature that ran caution-free. “I worked pretty darned hard,” said Hollerich, who steered through lapped traffic to win well ahead of Greg Jacobsen. Roger Nielsen was third, Josh Meyer fourth and Jeff Larson fifth. “I was happy just winning my heat. Then I won the feature,” said Hollerich, now in a GRT ride. “It felt awesome. I couldn’t believe it.” Following an 11-year hiatus from the sport, Hollerich had returned to finish fourth in the North Star Series point standings last year. His best showing during the 2013 tour was fifth, also at Jackson.

Neal adds to Deery Series success with fourth career win at Jackson County

MAQUOKETA, Iowa (April 19) – After four lead changes involving four different drivers, Terry Neal won a Deery Brothers Summer Series feature at Jackson County Speedway for the fourth time Saturday night. Neal caught Andy Eckrich coming to the white flag in the 40-lapper, then held on to beat Eckrich to the checkers by not much more than inches. The IMCA Late Model tour victory was worth $3,000. Jeff Aikey, Nate Beuseling and Tommy Elston completed the top five. Neal had won the first of three straight Deery features at Maquoketa during his 2005 series championship season. Elston started from the pole and set the fast pace the first 15 circuits despite a couple early cautions that kept the field close. He gave way to Beuseling on lap 16. Elston, Neal, Aikey and Eckrich ran two and three wide behind Beuseling as the front five separated themselves from the field. Following a caution on lap 29, Neal went to the lower line and led laps 30-36. Eckrich slipped by for the front spot on laps [Read More]

Like lightning, Springsteen streaks to Deery Series checkers at West Liberty

WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (April 12) – With a thunderstorm in the forecast, Colby Springsteen proved lightning-fast on the track Saturday night at West Liberty Raceway. Springsteen caught Nick Marolf in traffic on the 10th circuit, then ran away with the win in the Deery Brothers Summer Series main event, leading the last 30 laps and taking the checkers nearly half a straightaway in front of Jeff Aikey. The IMCA Late Model tour feature was slowed by caution just once, on lap 12. Aikey and early leader Marolf swapped second following the restart; Aikey got the spot for good with 10 laps left but couldn’t muster a challenge to Springsteen, who earned $3,000 for the victory. Marolf, “B” qualifier Justin Kay and Jason Rauen completed the top five. Opening night winner Andy Eckrich ran 11th. Springsteen drew the pole but it was Marolf who set the fast pace from outside row one. Springsteen was quick to take advantage when Marolf got slowed by a lapped car and shot to a lead he’d never relinquish. Kay was [Read More]

Andy Eckrich starts 17th, finishes first in Deery Series opener at Davenport

DAVENPORT, Iowa (April 11) – Andy Eckrich couldn’t have asked for a better opening night finish when the Deery Brothers Summer Series took to the track at Davenport Speedway Friday evening. Eckrich raced from 17th starting to win the IMCA Late Model tour lidlifter, reeling in Matt Ryan midway through the 40-lapper and then holding off Justin Kay in a closer than comfortable final circuit. The victory paid $3,000 and was Eckrich’s Deery career seventh checkers. Kay, Ryan, Colby Springsteen and Tyler Bruening completed the top five while defending series champion Brian Harris was sixth. Outside pole starter Ray Guss Jr. was pulling away from the rest of the field before a lap five yellow. After his car came to a stop, Guss needed a push to restart and lined up at the back of the pack. That put Ryan at the front while Eckrich was into second by lap seven. Ryan held on 13 more laps before Eckrich drove by and then led the rest of the way. Kay, who’d gotten together with Joel [Read More]
