By Pete Wortman SWEDEBORO, N.J. (May 30, 2026) — Newark, Delaware’s Troy Betts made it two wins in as many nights as he took top honors in the 25-lap DCB Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series feature presented by Capitol Renegade at Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday night. Betts, who won the MASS event the night before at Georgetown Speedway, took advantage of his front-row starting position and led every lap of the non-stop feature to complete the “MASSive” weekend sweep. Rookie Tyler Grau and Betts brought the field to the green, however third-starting Robbie Stillwaggon surprised the front row with a turn one slider to grab the top spot. Stillwaggon, making his first start of the season, held the lead only until turn four when Betts returned the favor to be scored the leader of lap one. Betts opened up his lead over the first five laps as Grau quickly reclaimed the second position with season opening night winner Tim Iulg moving up to challenge for the spot. Iulg eventually worked past Grau and set his [Read More]

By Pete Wortman GEORGETOWN, Del. (May 29, 2026) — Defending series champion Troy Betts finally checked a long-sought accomplishment off his list Friday night, capturing his first career victory in his home state of Delaware during the DCB Plumbing & Heating Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series presented by Capitol Renegade at Georgetown Speedway. The Newark driver started fifth and charged to the front, taking the lead from Cody West on lap 14 before driving away to collect his first RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car win of the season and the fifth MASS victory of his career. Betts also pocketed the $1,000 winner’s share courtesy of Betts Garage Towing and Hauling. Cody West grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag in the 25-lap feature while fourth-starting D.J. Tanner quickly moved into second and began pressuring the leader. Betts worked his way into third by lap three and soon joined the battle at the front. Tanner repeatedly challenged West through the corners, but West maintained the advantage down the straightaways. By lap six, West had begun opening a [Read More]

By Jim Haines NATURAL BRIDGE, Va. (May 30, 2026) — The Virginia Sprint Series returned to Natural Bridge Speedway on a clear and warm evening, and Jerald Harris flew to his first victory of the season in RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car competition. Heat race wins went to Billy Hubbard and Dylan Shatzer. Billy Hubbard and Harris paced the field to green, with Harris immediately taking command. Shatzer settled into second while Hubbard held third as the field raced around the fast and smooth clay oval. Harris consistently found the right line around the speedway while Shatzer remained within striking distance. Behind them, Daren Bolac worked his way forward from ninth starting position and chased down Hubbard in the battle for third. Further back, Caleb Harris and Matt Mullins put on one of the night’s best battles, swapping positions nearly every lap while contesting a spot inside the top five. As the laps wound down, Shatzer closed the gap on the leader, but Harris remained smooth and steady to the checkered flag. The Rockingham driver secured the [Read More]

By Frank Buhrman MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (May 29, 2026) — Normally, the story of a River Valley Builders PA Sprint Series race isn’t dependent on what happened in another division, but Friday night at Williams Grove Speedway was an exception. Cole Dewease of Fayetteville led every lap of the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature to earn his first career PASS victory. Less than 30 minutes earlier, his father, legendary sprint car racer Lance Dewease, had also led every lap to win the night’s 410 Sprint Car feature. Father and son joined one another in both victory lane celebrations, making for a memorable evening at the historic half-mile oval. The younger Dewease’s PASS triumph came in only his seventh series start. He entered the night with a pair of PASS top-five finishes and already owned a Laurel Highlands Sprint Series victory earned May 1 at Bedford Fairgrounds Speedway. After enduring poor luck in feature redraws throughout the season, Dewease finally caught a break Friday night by drawing the pole position. From there, it was a matter of out-dragging [Read More]

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (May 24, 2026) — Before Sunday evening’s racing program began at Eagle Raceway, fans and teams gathered under the glow of light sticks for an emotional Memorial Day weekend tribute honoring both fallen service members and loved ones lost too soon. Names submitted through donations were read aloud following a moment of silence in one of the night’s most touching moments. Jeremy Mills then delivered a memorable performance of his own in the $2,000-to-win Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature, racing from third to score his first Jet Racing Central Region victory of the season and his third overall win of 2026. The Memorial Madness finale was also a Fast Shafts All-Star Modified Invitational qualifier, placing Mills on the eligibility list for the event to be held during the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s in September. Chad Reid led the opening lap before Mills charged to the front on lap two. Several cautions throughout the event repeatedly tightened the field, including incidents involving Zack Olivia, Clint Homan, Josh Most, [Read More]

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (May 23, 2026) — The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks featured three different leaders in a wild 19-car contest before Winsted driver Mason Goettl emerged with his first B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region win of the season at Arlington Raceway after starting third. The race saw multiple incidents during the opening stages before the final 11 laps clicked off under green flag conditions. Goettl held the early lead before Cory Probst charged from 10th into contention and grabbed the top spot on lap 10. Goettl stayed within striking distance as lapped traffic came into play on the white flag lap. Probst crossed the line first in the special 18-lap race honoring Kyle Busch, but relinquished the win in post-race tech after refusing a legal claim, handing the victory to Goettl. Austin Jahnz stormed from 12th to second while Chad Volk advanced from 11th to third. Scott Porter finished fourth after starting on the pole while Daniel Probst completed the top five.

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (May 23, 2026) — Eagle Raceway delivered another wild night of racing action on Saturday, highlighted by a dramatic Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature that saw Chad Andersen charge from 11th starting position to steal the victory on the final lap. The feature opened with chaos as a massive pileup erupted at the initial green flag when Sean Manning spun in turns one and two, collecting multiple cars. Once racing officially got underway, Shawn Harker paced the early laps ahead of Clint Homan, Jaxon Saathoff, and Riley Ruisinger. Saathoff moved into second on lap two while Andersen steadily carved his way through the field. Several cautions kept the field tight, including a stoppage for Nate Thompson on lap eight and Lance Most with a flat tire late in the race. Andersen used each restart to his advantage, climbing into third with nine laps remaining before advancing to second in the closing laps. With three laps to go, the final caution set up a dramatic sprint to the finish. Andersen slipped past [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage LINCOLN, Neb. (May 21, 2026) — Northwest of Lincoln, the pavement eventually gives way to open Nebraska countryside. The towns get smaller. The nights get quieter. And when race day comes around, the traffic starts heading in one direction. Toward Eagle Raceway. For Shayle Bade, those roads have led to dirt tracks for most of her life. What started as an eight-year-old climbing nervously into a go-kart she had never even seen race before, eventually turned into a career spent chasing speed in go-karts, Micro Sprints, and RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Cars. There were wrecks. Tears. Victories. And eventually, one of the best Mother’s Day gifts a racer could ask for. Built Into Racing “Long story short, racing runs through my family,” Bade said. Her cousin Tom raced go-karts years earlier, while another cousin, Billy Alley, competed in Sprint Cars. But it was Tom who helped spark everything. “One day in 2000 my dad just asked me, ‘Hey Shayle, do you want to race a go-kart like your cousin Tom?’” she said. At the [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage MIDDLETOWN, Pa. (May 20, 2026) — In the heart of Central Pennsylvania sprint car country — where engines echo through the Susquehanna Valley and some of the biggest names in the sport compete — Stephanie Dodson has found her place. For nearly three decades, she competed behind the wheel, starting in go-karts before eventually moving into Midgets and RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Cars. Today, it’s high above the track, in the announcer’s tower. A former driver turned play-by-play voice of the PA Sprint Series, Dodson is part of a growing wave of women in motorsports — but still one of the few regularly calling races corner to corner. It’s a role she never planned. And a path that, like most of her life in racing, found her along the way. Built Into Racing “I don’t think I even had a choice to get involved in racing,” Dodson joked. Her father, George Stevens, raced Stock Cars. Her uncle, Gary Stevens, competed across Pennsylvania, New York, and Canada in Small Block Modifieds. When her uncle stepped [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage VINTON, Iowa (May 19, 2026) — The inaugural Pillar Restaurant Group Stan Cisar Speedweek is set to bring four straight nights of RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car action across Nebraska from June 17-20, honoring one of the region’s longtime supporters of racing while offering strong nightly payouts and a lucrative overall points fund.

HARTFORD, S.D. (May 16, 2026) — A long-awaited breakthrough finally came Saturday night for Michalob Voeltz at I-90 Speedway. The Madison driver held off repeated challenges and a dramatic series of restarts to capture his first RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature victory. Starting fifth, Voeltz kept his cool while three-time defending track champion and reigning IMCA National champion Lee Goos Jr. charged through the field late in the race. Despite the pressure from Goos, who advanced from 11th, Voeltz was able to pull away in the closing laps to secure his first win of the season. The victory also earned him a $200 bonus from fellow driver Nick Barger of Barger Construction. The triumph marked Voeltz’s first victory at I-90 Speedway since 2014, when he won six times in a Chevy Beretta in local Stock Car competition. Goos ended the race second. “Longhair” John Lambertz delivered the drive of the night, racing from 19th on the starting grid after transferring through the B feature to finish third. Ryan Bickett advanced from 10th to fourth while Gunnar [Read More]

By Greg Grabinoski ALGONA, Iowa (May 14, 2026) — Colby Fett put together a dominant night Thursday at Kossuth County Speedway, sweeping both the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car and Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified features. In the 20-lap Stock Car feature, Fett grabbed the early lead before an early caution on lap two slowed the field. Another yellow on lap eight was the only thing delaying the Algona driver’s trip to victory lane as he collected his first EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region win of the season. Ryan Roath finished second while Kelly Shryock advanced from ninth to third. Wayne Landheer took fourth and Chad Palmer completed the top five. Palmer and Fett captured the Stock Car heat race wins earlier in the evening. Fett returned later in the night to lead all 20 laps of the IMCA Modified feature, which went green-white-checkered, to complete the double victory. The triumph marked Fett’s first career IMCA Modified feature win and his first Razor Chassis North Central Region score. Jeremy Mills finished second while Chaz Baca was third. Mills [Read More]
