Lund Rules Prelude to IMCA TV Winter Nationals Stock Car Feature at Casa Grande

By Ben Deatherage CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (Jan. 18, 2026) — Curt Lund was victorious in the Prelude to the IMCA TV Winter Nationals on Sunday night at Central Arizona Raceway, leading all 20 laps of the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature to claim the $1,000 win in the EQ Cylinder Heads Southern Region. The Redwood Falls, Minnesota driver took command immediately from the three-wide start after rolling off from the front row of the outside column, setting the pace in the 28-car feature. Bo Partain stayed close early and applied pressure through the opening circuits, but by lap two Lund had firmly established control out front. 2015 Kansas State Stock Car champion Jason Rogers worked his way into second a couple of laps later and began trying to reel in the three-time Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s winner in the Sprint Car division. The first caution flew on lap five, followed by another yellow on lap six and yet another on lap seven, but each time Lund executed clean restarts to remain out [Read More]

By Justin Newman CLEWISTON, Fla. (Jan. 17, 2026) — The Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lites at Hendry County Motorsports Park opened their 2026 season with a strong showing and a statement performance from Superior Race Cars, led by a patient and calculated drive by Pierce Aiken in the feature. Aiken started eighth on the grid and methodically worked his way forward, advancing one position at a time as the race unfolded. Pole-sitter Dylan Permann controlled the early pace, leading the first 12 laps while keeping the field in check. The turning point came on a restart on lap 12, when Aiken powered past Permann to take command of the race. From there, the Lake Worth racer remained smooth and consistent, never relinquishing the top spot on his way to the opening Mod Lite victory of the 2026 season. Larry Hubbard mounted a strong charge to finish second after starting fourth and slipping back early in the event. Justin Thibodeau followed with a solid third-place run. Permann’s night took a turn shortly after losing the lead [Read More]
