By Jane Burd BOONE, Iowa (May 9, 2026) — Fans at Boone Speedway were treated to another packed night of Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing action with strong car counts, dramatic finishes, and several wild incidents across multiple divisions. Mike Smith of Lake City charged from eighth starting position and took the lead from Matt Avila with seven laps remaining in the opening Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod feature at Boone Speedway. Smith went on to secure his fourth victory of the season, with his last two wins coming in consecutive weeks at Boone. Avila finished second ahead of Chris Webb, while Cam Vincent and Mitchell Morris completed the top five. The second IMCA Northern SportMod feature included late-race drama for Jake Sachau, who suffered a right rear flat tire with four laps remaining.

Up front, Kelley driver Cam Reimers charged from 11th starting position and took the lead from Gage Hilgenberg on [Read More]

By Mike McGuire DAVENPORT, Iowa (May 8, 2026) — The Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods delivered an exciting feature Friday night at Davenport Speedway. Jordan Hicks raced out to the early lead and appeared to be in control until a lap nine caution erased his advantage and brought the field back to his rear bumper. On the restart, defending national champion Brayton Carter of Oskaloosa made a bold move, charging from third to first in one corner. Carter, who originally started 10th, then pulled away from the field to secure his second win of the season at two different tracks. Hicks held on to finish second, while Tony Olson made a strong run from 13th to place third. Ben Chapman finished fourth, followed by Levi Gaunt in fifth. In the Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lites, Mike Morrow of Colona, Illinois, scored his first win of the season, topping Nolan Morrow and Dustin Munn, who completed the podium.

By Bryce Vowan VAN BUREN, Ark. (May 9, 2026) — Crawford County Speedway had not always been kind to Blake Wilson, but on Saturday night the Mabelvale driver finally turned frustration into triumph. Wilson survived late-race pressure from defending Crawford County winner Kevin Simkins to score his first Mod Lites of Arkansas victory of the 2026 season during round two of the Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lite Special Series. “My luck has never been the best there,” Wilson said. “From mechanical failures to on-track incidents, I felt like I kept coming up short.” Wilson’s night began with an impressive charge from the rear of the field to win his heat race, earning the pole position for the feature. Once the green flag dropped, Wilson quickly established himself as the driver to beat, building a sizable advantage during the early stages of the race. However, multiple late cautions erased his lead and brought Simkins directly to his rear bumper for the closing laps. The two drivers briefly raced side-by-side as the pressure mounted, but Wilson remained composed [Read More]

By Kaden Krebs MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (May 8, 2026) — It was another exciting night at Marshalltown Speedway, and the most intense finish came in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods. Will Wolf, who started 11th, appeared poised to score the victory after leading much of the race, but a late caution reset the field. On the restart, eighth starting Matt Avila of Boone surged forward and made the winning move in the closing laps to steal the victory—his second win of the season at two different tracks. Wolf settled for second, with Chris Burke third. Colton Livezey finished fourth, followed by Kyle Olson in fifth. The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks also delivered a late-race thriller as Boone’s Braden Gifford charged from 11th to the front.

By Rowdy Briggs CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (May 2, 2026) — The Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods delivered one of Saturday’s wildest finishes at Central Arizona Raceway. A chaotic opening two turns brought out a quick caution before Tyke Miles took the lead once racing resumed. Miles spun one lap later, handing the lead to Eric Winemiller. Winemiller looked to be on his way to the win, but trouble getting around a lapped car on the final lap allowed Bubba Stafford Jr. to close in and steal the victory coming off turn four. Stafford, of Wittmann, charged from ninth to earn his third win of the year, all coming at Central Arizona Raceway. Winemiller was second, followed by Tyler Johnson, James Meile, who started 16th, and Miles.

By Rowdy Briggs CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (Apr. 25, 2026) — Ty Warner drew the pole for the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock feature and made the most of it in an 18-lap thriller. Warner had Joe Peterson, Steve Bitting Jr., Anthony Madrid, Joel Magee, and Charles McDaniel III all breathing down his neck.

By Kaden Krebs MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (April 24, 2026) — Racing roared back to life at Marshalltown Speedway Friday night as drivers and fans alike shook off a long offseason and uncooperative spring weather. In the Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars, Austin Kaplan of Collins executed a thrilling last-lap pass off turn four to narrowly edge Johnny Spaw at the stripe. Kaplan started 11th and scored his first win of the year in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region. Spaw had been under constant pressure throughout the race from a hard-charging field that included Braden Richards and Maguire DeJong, with a late caution involving DeJong adding even more late-race drama. Richards completed the top three, with Todd Reitzler fourth and Thor Anderson fifth. A similar story unfolded in the Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lites.
