Hollatz cruised to the front on a restart to pace the field on lap two, then set the pace for 20 laps of green flag racing. He received some pressure following a lap 22 restart and Paul Stone powered his way past on lap 25. Brock Badger made it a three-horse race for the point but Hollatz regained the lead on lap 26, pulled away from the pack and drove back to the winner’s circle.

Richards and Smith Shine in Thursday Super Nationals Stock Car Qualifiers

By Ben Deatherage BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 4, 2025) — Braden Richards scored redemption Thursday night at Boone Speedway, topping Sunoco IMCA Stock Car Qualifier 3 during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. The 25-lap feature put the top four into the middle row of Saturday’s Big Dance. Richards led from the opening circuit and was never seriously challenged. A pair of cautions in the first four laps and again on lap 18 slowed the pace, but each time Richards was flawless on the restart. The Madrid motorist drove away from the field for the win, with 2013 Friesen Performance IMCA Modified National champion William Gould in second, Chris Pruitt charging from 19th to third, and 2019 IMCA Hobby Stock National champion Jeff Ware sealing the final transfer in fourth. Former IMCA Northern SportMod National and Super Nationals champion Doug Smith captured Sunoco IMCA Stock Car Qualifier 4. The 25-lapper qualified four more drivers for the middle row of Saturday’s Big Dance. Two-time Nebraska State Stock Car champ Austin Brauner led early before a [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 4, 2025) — Johnny Whitman of Suamico, Wisconsin, raced to victory in Friesen Performance IMCA Modified Qualifier 3 Thursday at Boone Speedway during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. The 25-lap feature advanced the top four finishers into the middle row of Saturday’s Big Dance. Whitman, an eight-time 141 Speedway champion, including this season, led from the opening lap in the Jerovetz Motorsports no. 08. He fought off repeated challenges from Minnesota’s Jacob Dahle during multiple cautions and long stretches of side-by-side racing. After a lap 17 restart, Whitman was flawless the rest of the way to seal the win. Dahle finished second, Cory Sauerman held off heavy traffic for third, and 19-year-old Izac Mallicoat, the 2025 Dynamic Driveline Dirt Duel winner, claimed the final transfer in fourth. 2010 and 2014 IMCA Modified National champion Zane DeVilbiss had originally crossed the stripe third after driving from 15th but was disqualified in post-race tech for a carburetor infraction.

Ward and Sproul Score Wednesday Modified Qualifier Wins at Super Nationals

By Ben Deatherage BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 3, 2025) — Tim Ward raced his way to victory in Friesen Performance IMCA Modified Qualifier 1 Wednesday at Boone Speedway during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. The 25-lap contest locked the top four finishers into the inside row of Saturday’s Big Dance. Wyoming’s Bryson Yeager jumped to the front on the opening circuit, with Ward — the 2023 Super Nationals champion and Saturday’s Prelude winner — close behind. The two battled through heavy lapped traffic by lap eight, with Ward using a slower car as a pick to wrestle the lead away on lap 13. Two late cautions gave Ward, originally from Mesa, Ariz., and now calling Harcourt, Iowa home, clear track to race to the checkers. Two-time Sunoco IMCA Stock Car Super Nationals winner Dallon Murty made a spectacular charge from 22nd in the Darin Duffy-owned no. 99X to finish second. Six-time North Central Speedway track champion Aaron Johnson of Minnesota was third, while Yeager secured the final transfer spot in fourth. Hays, Kansas [Read More]
