DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Takes Over IMCA Modified Western Region Title Sponsorship

By Ben Deatherage MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (Jan. 19, 2026) — DeVilbiss Racing Chassis is the new title sponsor of the IMCA Modified Western Region, shifting its sponsorship focus west after serving as the Eastern Region title sponsor during the 2025 season. The IMCA Modified Western Region encompasses California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, western Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and northern New Mexico. “This is totally awesome, and I’m excited for this,” said Zane DeVilbiss. “It feels fitting for me, being from the West. I’ve raced at tracks across that region, and there’s a strong concentration of drivers out there who run my cars.” DeVilbiss relocated from his native Farmington, New Mexico, to Marshalltown, Iowa, in 2025, positioning his operation in the heart of IMCA country while maintaining strong ties to western racers. The Western Region has a deep and storied history within IMCA Modified competition. Since its inception, numerous champions have left their mark, including multi-time titleholders such as Dan Fitzgerald, Cory Sample, Chaz Baca Jr., and DeVilbiss himself.

DeVilbiss Racing Chassis takes title sponsor role in IMCA’s Eastern Region for Modifieds

FARMINGTON, N.M. (March 14, 2023) – Instead of racing for a regional championship himself this season, Zane DeVilbiss will help crown one. The long-time and much-accomplished driver owns DeVilbiss Racing Chassis, new title sponsor of the Eastern Region for IMCA Modifieds. “We started talking to IMCA about getting more involved with them eight or nine months ago,” explained DeVilbiss. “We have been building Modified chassis for 17 years now and have cars in more than 20 states. Becoming a regional title sponsor is a good way for us to get our name out to a lot of potential customers and in a part of the country that is both relatively new for us and a new opportunity.” Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds running weekly in Florida, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania are in the DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Eastern Region. Points earned in the recently completed Clash on the Coast, and in the upcoming NY-Penn Series will also figure toward Eastern region standings. The champion earns a $2,500 share of the $6,000 point fund to be paid [Read More]

Beckendorf Wins Thriller, Thornton Claims Overall Title in IMCA Modifieds

By Ben Deatherage CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (Jan. 31, 2026) — Brandon Beckendorf captured a dramatic victory in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature during the eighth and final night of the DeVilbiss Racing Chassis IMCA TV Winter Nationals powered by Pitt Stop Motorsports and Dynamic Drivelines at Central Arizona Raceway, edging out defending Winter Nationals champion Ethan Braaksma in a late race finish. Braaksma jumped to the early lead in the Trent Guest and Danny Meier-owned no. 111 and set the pace through early cautions. Beckendorf, the 2018 Razor Chassis North Central Region champion, stayed within striking distance and began closing in just past the halfway point as lapped traffic came into play. A late-race duel unfolded when Beckendorf made his move under Braaksma on lap 23. The pair raced side-by-side to the white flag before Beckendorf surged ahead exiting turn two and held on for the victory. The Danube, Minnesota, driver earned his first career Winter Nationals series win and his first victory of the 2026 season in the DeVilbiss Racing Chassis Western Region after [Read More]
