By Kelly Ninas LEXINGTON, Neb. (July 20) – Lightning up the night Sunday with stellar efforts at Dawson County Raceway were IMCA hotshoes Colton Osborn, Brandon Clough, Casey Werkmeister and Kyle Bond. Grabbing the lead at halfway, Osborn powered his way to the IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modi­fied victory. Osborn snared the lead on the 11th circuit and never looked back after starting in the fifth row. Breaking through in the Karl Chevrolet Northern Sport Modifieds with his first feature win of 2014 at Dawson County was Clough. He has been a mainstay inside the top five and flirted with win­ning but it was his night this time around as he scored the win from his front row starting position. No stranger to the winner’s circle, Werkmeister recovered quite nicely from a setback earlier in the weekend where he blew up a motor to finish with back-to-back feature wins in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car division in North Platte on Saturday and Lexington on Sunday. Dillon Thompson and Bond put on a whale of show [Read More]

ARLINGTON, Minn. (July 19) – Josh Telecky led every lap in winning his first IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature of the season Saturday at Arlington Raceway. Telecky was taking full advantage of his pole position start but on the second lap, Kevin LaTour rolled his car on the front stretch. Following the restart, Telecky resumed control and held off eventual runner-up Dakota Robinson the remaining laps. A rough and tumble 95.7 IMCA Sprint car feature saw Brett Allen make contact with Aaron Wisch, resulting in a violent flip by both cars. Both drivers were OK but out of the race. When the race resumed, Dustin Sargent led the first nine laps but Bruce Allen was on his tail. The veteran had moved through the pack and got by Sargent to take the lead and win his first feature of the year. Curt Lund started 10th and won the MN 93 IMCA Modified main event. Dan Mackenthun was the third and final different leader in the Annihilator IMCA Stock Car show. There was even more change [Read More]

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (July 18) – A back and forth battle between Gary Hill and Mark Wermling ended after a caution late in Friday’s IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified feature at Electric City Speedway. The two had won heat races earlier in the evening and every indication was that their race to the main event checkers was going to be a nailbiter. The yellow waved on lap 18 and as the field came to the restart, Wermling broke and he came to a stop on the front stretch. After the ensuing restart, Hill shot ahead and there was no looking back.

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (July 19) – Tad Reutzel and Isaac Hill earned their first feature wins of the season at Algona Raceway on Saturday evening. Chad Palmer and Dalton Kron also grabbed their first feature win of the year at the track with Matt Hoeft earning his second win of the season. Dustin Smith took the early IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified lead and had a straightaway advantage before Reutzel reeled him in. Hill was the winner in the caution-slowed IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock main after drawing a front row start. Palmer came from the inside of the fourth row to take the double checkered flags in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature. The yellow flag was also frequently displayed in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature but Hoeft overcame all of those delays to earn his second local feature win of the season. Kron steered his No. 99 rig into the winner’s circle from the outside of row two in the Mach-1 Sport Compact go.

By Kelly Ninas NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (July 19) – Scoring Saturday night IMCA victories at Lincoln County Race­way were Bryan Herrick, Kyle Werkmeister, Kyle Bond and Charlie Blowers. Herrick started in the fifth row, gained the lead just after halfway and drove away with the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod checkers. Nearly going without a caution, the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars put on a whale of show with lots of passing and side-by-side racing that finished with Werkmeister leading the final eight laps. After snaring the lead on the third circuit, Bond drove away from the rest of the field and cruised to the win in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks. Bond started in the fifth row and it only took him three laps to get to the point. Blowers won the Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compact feature after grabbing the lead on the fifth lap and finishing strong.

By Bill Grit MAYETTA, Kan. (July 19) – Jeff Jones started 11th and finished first in the Saturday main event for BSB Manufacturing IMCA Modifieds at Thunder Hill Speedway. Richard Spriggs and then Dave Conkwright set the fast pace as Jones worked his way toward the front. With racing three and four-wide throughout the field, Jones finally got the edge and took the checkers ahead of Conkwright, Brandon Blochlinger, Danny Holt and Mat Stallbaumer. Mike Nichols was the winner in a Heinen Repair Service IMCA Stock Car feature that ran caution free while Dusty Leonard prevailed in the Belleville Motorsports IMCA Northern SportMod feature.
