Roth is awesome at Dawson County

By Kelly Ninas LEXINGTON, Neb. (June 3) – Anthony Roth led the lap that mattered most in winning Sunday’s IMCA Modified feature at Dawson County Raceway. Roth started in the fourth row and got shuffled off the backstretch during the early laps of the feature. Finishing strong would be an understatement as Roth rocketed back to pass Jay Steffens for the lead and eventual victory. Mike Nichols started 10th and rode the high side to another IMCA Sunoco Stock Car win while Jacob Olmstead dominated from the start of the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod main. Caleb Hetrick raced from third to first on the final circuit in winning the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature.

Cory Probst: 300 Wins and Counting in the Hobby Stocks

By Ben Deatherage BREWSTER, Minn. (Aug. 8, 2025) — In Brewster, Minnesota — a small town of just over 500 residents with deep railroad roots — Cory Probst has built a racing career that’s anything but small. The driver of the No. 75C Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stock reached an extraordinary milestone on August 2 at Arlington Raceway, claiming his 300th feature win. For Probst, the historic night came on familiar ground. His 100th win was at Arlington on June 23, 2018. His 200th win came at the same track on June 18, 2022. It’s a place where he has collected some of his biggest moments — and a track that still brings out the best in him. “Arlington is one of my favorite tracks,” Probst said. “It’s a big half-mile with room to move. Things don’t get as congested, and if things get ugly, there’s places to hide.” Probst’s milestone was the 17th time in his 27 B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region wins this year that he has started ninth or deeper in the field.

Rust Dominates Modified Main at Spencer for First Salute To Vets Tour Triumph

By Ben Deatherage SPENCER, Iowa (Aug. 6, 2025) — Joel Rust showed the way in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature at Clay County Fair Speedway, collecting his first-ever Hunting With Heroes Salute To Veterans Tour presented by Performance Bodies and Parts victory. The win came during the third night of Iowa Speedweek and also served as the Clay County Clash. The 20-lap, $2,000-to-win contest marked Rust’s third triumph of the season in the Razor Chassis North Central Region, each at a different track. Rust, from Grundy Center, took the lead from the drop of the green and built a commanding advantage before a caution on lap 14 gave second-running Brandon Beckendorf one final shot. But Rust, a two-time Benton County Speedway champion and 2016 Harris Clash winner, was unfazed and pulled away on the restart for a dominant win. Beckendorf, the 2018 regional champion and five-time Minnesota State title holder, finished second while Nick Meyer, the 2018 Kossuth County and Hancock County Speedways champ, took third.
