Scholpp, Beaulieu, Hagen share Super Nationals Modified spotlight

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 9) – Canadians Kody Scholpp and Jason Beaulieu put an international stamp on the International Motor Contest Association’s biggest event Wednesday night. Scholpp was the winner and Beaulieu finished fourth in the first IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s qualifying feature for Modifieds. They’ll join second running Dylan Smith and third place finisher Corey Dripps in the starting field for Saturday’s main event at Boone Speedway. North Dakota’s Mike Hagen captured the second qualifier, ahead of Josh Most and the top two drivers in the battle for national championship honors, Chris Abelson and Ricky Thornton Jr. Scholpp started fourth and was chased the last 17 times around the track by 2013 champion Smith. The final caution came with five circuits left in the 25-lapper and Dripps, who had started 16th, caught Beaulieu for third with three to go. This is the second time two Canadian drivers qualified for the Saturday show: Scholpp and Aaron Turnbull, also from Estevan, Sask., both made the 2013 main event. Beaulieu is the first driver [Read More]

Nichols, Mills score Stock Car qualifier wins

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 9) – Mike Nichols and Chris Mills both ended their night Wednesday in Boone Speedway’s victory lane. How they got there couldn’t have been more different. Nichols started on the front row and won the first IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s Stock Car qualifying feature with a flag-to-flag run slowed by just a single caution. Mills was the fourth and final different leader in a nightcap interrupted by half a dozen yellows. The former Modified driver and 14th place starter ran in front the last three times around the track. Top four finishers from both races advance to Saturday’s main event and Nichols, two-time champion Randy Brands, Ken Tietz and Derek Green pulled away from the rest of the pack before and after the single stoppage in the opener, on lap seven. They finished in that order but Green was disqualified in post-race tech for an illegal connecting rod, promoting Norman Chesmore to the big show. Brandon Czarapata looked every bit as fast as he was in winning the 2013 [Read More]
