By Ben Deatherage COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (June 15, 2026) — Matt Sanders earned the biggest Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified victory of his career, winning the third round of the 2026 IMCA Wild West Speedweek on Monday night at Cottage Grove Speedway. Reigning National Rookie of the Year and Southern Oregon Speedway track champion Ethan Killingsworth, from California, grabbed the lead at the start and established himself as the driver to beat. He encountered lapped traffic on lap seven but maintained command as Sanders gradually closed the gap. By lap 14, Sanders was within striking distance and began challenging for the lead. A trio of cautions around the halfway mark repeatedly interrupted the battle, with Sanders unable to complete a pass before each yellow flag flew. The Brookings driver finally broke through on lap 25, edging ahead by .067 seconds at the stripe. Killingsworth attempted to counterattack but made contact with the frontstretch wall, allowing 2017 Cottage Grove Speedway champion and River City Speedway winner Grey Ferrando to move into second. A final caution on lap 29 [Read More]

By Chad Meyer BRITT, Iowa (June 12, 2026) — Cam Reimers realized a longtime goal Friday night, dominating the annual Gold-Eagle Cooperative SportMod Nationals at Hancock County Speedway to earn one of the biggest victories of his season. The Kelley driver controlled the Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod feature despite several cautions, including a late restart that brought the field to his rear bumper for a final sprint to the checkered flag. Reimers quickly pulled away once the race resumed and secured his seventh victory of the season, earned at five different tracks. Keegan Nordquist finished second, followed by Ben Reierson, Alec Fett and Josh Appel. Flippo Holds Off Fett in Modified Feature Jerry Flippo of Rockford, by way of Bakersfield, California, scored his second Razor Chassis North Central Region victory of the season in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified main event.

By Candice Martin ANTIOCH, Calif. (June 13, 2026) — Kenneth Robles of Rio Vista scored an emotional first Sunoco IMCA Stock Car victory of the season Saturday night at Antioch Speedway, dedicating the win to longtime track supporter Tom Fraser, who passed away two weeks earlier. Starting fourth, Robles charged into the lead at the drop of the green flag and spent much of the 20-lap feature holding off point leader Troy Foulger of Oakley. As the leaders navigated lapped traffic, Robles continued to hit his marks while Foulger and Fred Ryland battled behind him. Foulger’s hopes took a hit on lap 13 when he got sideways exiting turn four and slipped behind Ryland. That gave Robles some breathing room, though Ryland steadily reeled him in during the closing laps. Robles stayed composed under pressure and raced to the victory, his first of 2026 in the EQ Cylinder Heads Southern Region. Ryland finished second after advancing from ninth, followed by Foulger. Jason Robles and Clarence Holbrook III completed the top five. Clymens Charges From Eighth for [Read More]

By Brandon Beeter MINOT, N.D.

The Randy Fyllesvold Memorial for Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars featured a unique redraw format that placed Gabriel Deschamp 14th in the starting lineup and made him eligible for bonus money based on positions gained. Mike Hagen, of Williston, drew the pole and immediately took command of the race. Although Marcus Tomlinson pressured him for much of the event and briefly challenged for the lead, Hagen remained in control and drove away for the $1,414 victory. The win was his first of the season in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region and made him eligible to attempt to qualify for the B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Stock Car Invitational at Super Nationals. Tomlinson’s strong run ended prematurely with mechanical issues before the finish. Deschamp charged [Read More]

By Christine Rublack VINTON, Iowa (June 14, 2026) — Between the annual candy dash and the racing, the action was sweet at Benton County Speedway. It was especially sweet for Tony Olson, who swept both the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car and Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod features Sunday night. Olson’s second trip to victory lane came in the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature. Dustin Filloon grabbed the early lead before Olson worked the high groove to take command. Kyle Olson moved into contention while John Oliver Jr. climbed into the top three. Once out front, Olson steadily stretched his advantage as Oliver advanced into second. The Cedar Rapids driver raced to his fourth EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region victory of the season, with two of those wins coming at Benton County Speedway. Oliver finished second, followed by Filloon, Kyle Olson, and Adam Streeter. Earlier in the evening, Olson moved to the front early in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern SportMod feature and never looked back. As Olson pulled away, Will Wolf, Brady Hilmer, and Ben Chapman [Read More]

By Susan Allen ARLINGTON, Minn. (June 13, 2026) — Arlington Raceway’s most action-packed feature Saturday evening belonged to the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks, where multiple cautions and restarts kept drivers on edge before Austin Jahnz emerged victorious. Ben Davis paced the opening laps before an early caution slowed the field. Additional incidents throughout the race repeatedly reset the order, but Taylor Manderfield capitalized on one restart to sweep around Davis on the high side and take command. Manderfield maintained the lead through the midway point, but Jahnz steadily worked his way forward from the 10th starting position. Following a late caution, the Lewisville driver closed in on the leader and eventually made the winning move, securing his third straight Arlington Raceway victory. Jahnz’s triumph was his ninth overall win of the season, including six in the B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region and three at Arlington Raceway. Manderfield finished second, while Jordan Robinson completed the podium in third. Mason Goettl and Sarah Domoradzki rounded out the top five.

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (June 13, 2026) — Strong winds greeted fans Saturday night at Eagle Raceway, but the action on the track was even stronger as Tyler Drueke turned in the drive of the night, charging from 14th starting position to capture the 25-lap RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car feature at the Heartland Hustle. After working his way through traffic and surviving multiple cautions, the Eagle driver grabbed the lead on lap 15 and drove away for his first victory of the season. Trevor Grossenbacher advanced from 10th to finish second, Gunnar Pike raced from 11th to third, Adam Gullion was fourth and Billy Alley completed the top five.

By Ben Deatherage ST. HELENS, Ore. (June 14, 2026) — Grey Ferrando added another chapter to his IMCA Wild West Speedweek résumé by winning the first-ever series event held at River City Speedway in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds. Defending DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region and Oregon State champion Kevin Williamson paced the opening laps aboard the Superior Fuel Cells-owned No. 42. Two-time defending Wild West Speedweek SportMod champion Matt Sanders quickly emerged as a challenger and briefly completed a pass for the lead before a caution negated the move. A three-car battle between Williamson, Sanders and Ferrando erupted after the restart. Ferrando, the 2024 Cocopah Speedway and 2017 Cottage Grove Speedway track champion, edged ahead by just .014 seconds at the line on lap eight to seize the lead before a pair of cautions kept the field tightly bunched. Sanders secured second on lap 10 and remained within striking distance as lapped traffic entered the equation on lap 16. A caution on lap 20 removed heavy traffic from the picture and set up another showdown [Read More]

By Mike Maguire DAVENPORT, Iowa (June 12, 2026) — Dustin Smith of Long Grove broke through for his first Davenport Speedway Sunoco IMCA Late Model victory Friday night, charging from fourth and making a late-race pass to secure his second win of the season at two different tracks. Smith worked his way into second by lap five and spent much of the 25-lap feature tracking down leader Blaise Lewis. After stalking Lewis for more than half the race, Smith dove underneath him on lap 21 to take command. The closing laps were anything but easy as Travis Denning charged from 12th and pressured Smith to the finish, but Smith held on for the victory. Denning finished second after advancing 10 positions. Lewis settled for third, Logan Veloz raced to fourth, and Matt Ryan rounded out the top five. Diercks Charges from 12th for Modified Win Spencer Diercks put together one of the night’s strongest drives in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature.

By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (June 11, 2026) — Alec Fett put together an impressive drive in the Scott Cook One-Eye Memorial SportMod Nationals, charging from 12th starting position to collect the $1,000 payday and his first victory of the season in the Karl Kustoms Northern SportMod division at Kossuth County Speedway. Josh Appel led the opening lap before Cole Suckow took over on lap two and appeared poised to challenge for the win. Fett steadily worked his way forward through multiple restarts and moved into contention by the midway point of the 20-lap feature. A caution on lap nine for Jake Simpson’s flat tire slowed the action, and another yellow followed after contact between Jacob Korte and Mat Hollerich ended both drivers’ evenings. Suckow remained in command until lap 12, when Fett powered around him on the high side of the backstretch to take over the lead. A final caution for Bailey Stimson’s mechanical issues on lap 14 tightened the field one last time, but Fett was flawless on the restart and drove away for [Read More]

By Brandon Beeter UNDERWOOD, N.D. (June 13, 2026) — Jake Nelson crossed over every slider thrown his way and used the momentum of the high groove to perfection to capture Saturday night’s Tony Kniffen Memorial for Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars at McLean County Speedway. The $1,535-to-win feature served as a B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Invitational qualifier and headlined the McLean County Fair doubleheader weekend. Keenan Glasser and Jake Nelson shared the front row and immediately put on a show, exchanging sliders during the opening three laps before Nelson secured the lead. Several cautions gave Marcus Tomlinson and Chris Tuchscherer opportunities to challenge on restarts, but Nelson consistently crossed over every slider thrown his way and used the momentum of the high groove to perfection. The Williston driver raced to his second EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region victory of the season, with the triumph coming at his second different track of 2026. The win also placed Nelson on the eligibility list for the B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Invitational to be ran at the Speedway Motors IMCA Super [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage BANKS, Ore. (June 13, 2026) — Two-time IMCA Wild West Speedweek champion Collen Winebarger used a late restart to capture the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature and open the 2026 tour at Sunset Speedway Park with his 14th career series victory. Jeff Lovell led the opening lap and quickly established a comfortable advantage. The leader encountered lapped traffic on lap eight but continued to maintain a strong pace as the race remained under green. A caution on lap 15 brought the field back together and allowed Winebarger, aboard the John Gaynor-owned No. 99X, to begin mounting a serious challenge. Another caution on lap 19 proved pivotal, as the Corbett driver maneuvered into the lead down the backstretch on lap 20. A final caution on lap 23 set up one more restart, but Winebarger was flawless when racing resumed and drove away for his first DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region victory of the season. The win was his 14th career Wild West Speedweek triumph, second series victory at Sunset Speedway Park after previously winning [Read More]

The United Rebel Sprint Series headlined the evening with a 35-lap feature showcasing many of the region’s top RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car competitors.
