By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (May 9, 2026) — The most electrifying run of the night at Eagle Raceway came in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods, where Cole Wayman stormed from 16th to score a dramatic victory. After an early multi-car incident shuffled the field, the Lincoln driver methodically worked his way forward, cracking the top five before charging into second with seven laps remaining. He completed the pass for the lead with four to go and never looked back. Gary Saathoff held on for second, while Mary Hahn finished third. Jacob Swanson advanced from 10th to fourth, and Matt Andrews completed the top five. Wayman, the defending track champion, picked up his fourth win of the season and second at Eagle Raceway in 2026.

Despite the chaos, the Lady Eagle racer stayed [Read More]

By Greg Grabinoski ALGONA, Iowa (May 7, 2026) — A stout 22-car Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock field highlighted Thursday’s season opener at Kossuth County Speedway, where Dan Hanselman added another chapter to an already impressive track résumé. Corbin White controlled the early portion of the feature, leading the first seven laps while navigating a pair of cautions that kept the field tightly packed. On the restart following the second yellow, Hanselman made his move and never looked back, taking command and pacing the final seven circuits. The victory marked Hanselman’s 30th career Hobby Stock triumph at Kossuth County Speedway. For the Algona veteran, it also carried a bit of surprise — it was the first time he has ever opened a season with a feature win at his home track and his first triumph of 2026 in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region. Chris Krug secured second after fending off pressure behind him, while Brandon Nielsen worked his way onto the podium in third. White remained in contention to finish fourth, and James Burns delivered one [Read More]

By Chance Riley JEFFERSON, S.D. (May 8, 2026) — It was another great night of racing at Park Jefferson Speedway under a beautiful 75-degree Friday evening. The Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMods saw North Sioux City’s “Toehead” Rusty Montagne pick up his first win of the season after starting sixth. Nearly a year to the day since his last victory on May 8, 2025, Montagne made a decisive mid-race move to the outside of early leader Kirk Beatty to take command. He then held off a hard-charging Jake Newsom, who searched every lane on the speedway but came up just short. Newsom finished second, followed by Beatty, Garret Neville, and Noah Williams. The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks once again delivered exciting action on the high-banked 1/3-mile. Cody Malasek raced his way to the front past Ben Schneiders after falling back early, but it was Sioux City’s Zach Ankrum who stole the spotlight. Ankrum executed a last-corner slide job to win by .201 seconds, earning his third B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region victory of the season—all at [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. Gifford made a decisive pass in the closing laps to secure his second B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region win of the season and his first at Marshalltown in 2026. Briar Kriegel finished second ahead of Kale Hemsley. Tom Killen Jr. made an impressive run from 16th to fourth, while Corey Van [Read More]

By Jerry Mackey COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa (May 8, 2026) — The Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars continue to keep fans on the edge of their seats at CJ Speedway with side-by-side, thrilling racing action. The early part of the season has been dominated by Sigourney’s Nathan Wood. Starting sixth, Wood scored his third consecutive feature win of the year—and third in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region—all at the 4/10-mile dirt track on the Louisa County Fairgrounds. The Friday night win certainly was not an easy one. After advancing through the field and taking over the top spot with five laps remaining, it appeared Wood might cruise to the finish. However, seventh-starting Jordan Miles, making his first visit to CJ Speedway, charged into second and quickly closed the gap. A late caution set up a two-lap dash to the checkers, and as the leaders raced off turn four, Miles dove to the inside while Wood held his line. At the stripe, Wood prevailed by about three feet. Miles finished second, while North Carolina’s Pat Rachels made a [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage VILONIA, Ark. (May 7, 2026) — In a town where there isn’t much to do and not many places to go, people tend to find something to hold onto. For Gavin Lowe, that something came early. Before he could drive. Before he could reach the pedals without help. Before most kids knew what they wanted to be. It was already there. In the shop and at the track. And in the people around him. Built Into It “I started racing at 5 when I was in kindergarten in a go-kart that my dad got me for Christmas,” Lowe said. Racing wasn’t something he discovered. It was something he grew up around. “I got into racing through family,” Cody said. “My godfather and dad did it their whole life. I helped them all the time and didn’t think I would do it myself.” That connection goes back decades. Cody and Pressley both got into racing around 1987, when Cody’s father let Pressley drive one of his older cars. It didn’t take long for it [Read More]

The second Stock Car feature proved to be the race of the night, as Johnathon Logue of Logansport charged from fifth and made a last-lap pass at the line to steal the win from Garrett Corn, who had led nearly the entire distance. The two drivers, both campaigning Rage chassis in 2026, brought the crowd to its feet in a thrilling finish. Matthew Meinecke completed the podium in third, followed by David Smith and Hunter Smith. Scott Olson was the hard charger Earlier in the evening in the first feature, Jimmy Gustin of Marshalltown added to his strong stretch, advancing from ninth and taking the lead on lap 11 to secure his fourth EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region win of the season—including three straight at Boone—and his second win in as many nights after [Read More]

Krall worked his way past Mullen into the top spot while Josh Fisher and Jed Freiburger battled for third. As the laps wound down, Krall continued to stretch his advantage.

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.

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (May 2, 2026) — After a bout of liquid sunshine forced the cancellation of what was to be the season opener at Eagle Raceway last Saturday, this Saturday greeted teams and fans with a beautiful spring day—and the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks made sure the wait was worth it, delivering the wildest race of the night that remained unpredictable to the very end. The initial start attempt saw a five-car pile-up in turns three and four that eliminated several contenders before a lap could even be completed. After another caution on the restart, a lap was finally made official with Dan Markham leading, followed by Neil Pella, Trenton Dowty, and Jason Hansen. From there, the race began to take shape as drivers worked through changing track conditions and traffic.
