IMCA Modified features at Flatlander stay green for Heim, Hansen

GOODLAND, Kan. (Sept. 25-26) – Chris Heim led every lap on opening night while John Hansen had to race his way back to the lead on night two at Sherman County Speedway’s Flatlander special. Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified wins by both over the weekend at Goodland put the pair on the ballot for the 2016 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Both main events ran caution-free. Heim drew the pole for the Friday feature and ran in front all 30 times around the track. He was slowed by lapped traffic in the late going, which allowed Jeff Hunter and Jeremy Zorn to make up ground before settling for second and third place, respectively. “I’d drawn the pole after starting sixth and winning my heat race,” noted Heim. “It definitely wasn’t easy trying to qualify from the heat.” Hansen had the inside row one start Saturday but found himself chasing outside front row starter Jeremy Frenier most of the first half of the race. He was also slowed by lapped traffic as the 30-lapper wound down and Frenier [Read More]

Mackenthun wins 100th on final night of season at Arlington

ARLINGTON, Minn. (Sept. 26) – History was made on the final event of the season at Arlington Raceway as Dan Mackenthun won for the 100th time in his IMCA Sunoco Stock Car career. Jeff McCollum who won his 100th career feature in the division last year, battled Dan Mackenthun throughout the event. Mackenthun was a bit too anxious as he jumped the start and a yellow came out putting him back two positions. When the race restarted, Matt Speckman took the lead but McCollum was on the move. Cars were three-wide going into the corners. By lap three, McCollum had the lead and lap by lap, Mackenthun was reeling him in. By lap 12, Mackenthun got by him to take the lead. On the following lap, McCollum got too high and Brent Uecker was able to take the second spot while Mackenthun sped to the landmark checkers. Clint Hatlestad won again in the MN 93 IMCA Modifieds. Brandon Allen became the 95.7 IMCA Sprint Car winner when the first car across the line came up light on [Read More]

Curtain falls at Dodge City with Soderberg Memorial

By Lonnie Wheatley DODGE CITY, Kan. (Sept. 26) – The curtains came down on the 2015 season at Dodge City Raceway Park with Brendon Gemmill, Jamie French, Angel Munoz and Reagan Sellard earning Saturday IMCA feature wins. Past track champion Gemmill worked forward from his 12th starting position to capture his second Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified win of the year atop the 3/8-mile DCRP clay oval. With Jimmy Brozek racing into the lead from the second row outside on the opening circuit, Gemmill went to work on the topside and surged into the lead at the midway point. Once out front, Gemmill moved to the bottom and drove away to put away his tenth DCRP win over the past four seasons. The parity continued in the IMCA SportMod ranks with French wiring the field to become the 12th different winner in as many events this season. French raced into the lead from the third starting position on the opening round and gradually slipped away. In IMCA Sunoco Stock Car action, Munoz added his lone local [Read More]
