Dowell rallies to bag big check at Bagby Memorial

WACO, Texas (March 16) – After getting the lead back a second time, J.P. Dowell held off Justin McCoy for the $1,000 IMCA Modified feature win at Heart O’ Texas Speedway’s Jack Bagby Memorial. Making his first start of the season in a car borrowed from Pat McGuire, Dowell drew the pole start. McCoy started outside front row and got ahead early and then again with two circuits left in the 20-lapper. “I’ve won this event before and this year’s race played out in my favor. It didn’t hurt starting on the pole,” Dowell said. “I chased Justin past midway before I could pass him back the first time. The second time was do or die. I got around him on the outside and had the lead when we came to the white flag.” “It was exciting. It was a good race,” the new Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifier added. “It was exciting to pick up the big trophy and the big check.” McCoy, Justin Radcliff, Chase Allen and Kevin Green completed Friday’s top [Read More]

Classic run takes Roth to checkers at HOT’s 20th anniversary fall special

WACO, Texas (Oct. 28) – Anthony Roth got his first look at Heart O’ Texas Speedway when he pulled in for the Thursday practice session that preceded the weekend Fall Classic special. He had a check for $4,000 in his pocket and a season-ending IMCA Modified feature win when he drove out of the pit area at Waco two nights later. “We were looking to end the season on a high note,” said the Columbus driver, who had been KO’d by a late flat while running second in his final outing in his home state of Nebraska. “We were confident going down there that the car would be good.” Forced to qualify through his last-chance race on Saturday after getting together with another car in the opening night feature, Roth started 11th and had the lead nine circuits into the 30-lapper. “Mainly I used the bottom. I got everybody in (turns) one and two and when I got the lead I went to the top,” said Roth, already on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star [Read More]

Larson Bags Big Bucks at CJ Speedway

By Jerry Mackey COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa (Jul. 4, 2025) — The $1,300 dollar first place prize money drew an excellent field of very talented Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds to the 4/10th mile dirt track CJ Speedway located on the Louisa County Fairgrounds. The 20 lap feature was dominated by past National Modified champion Jeff Larson from Freeport, Illinois. Larson took advantage of a great start from the outside of the front row and put the P.J. Kostenbader-owned no. B1 on the top side of the smooth track and sailed on to the feature win over some of the best Modified drivers in the Midwest. Larson has managed to score seven wins in the Razor Chassis North Central Region in 2025. Logan Veloz of Colona, Illinois stayed within striking distance of Larson but was not able to seriously contend for the win. Veloz crossed under the checkers ahead of Josh Foster. Griffiths Grabs the Gold in Stock Cars The Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars put on their usual exciting race in their main event. Dustin Griffiths emerged from a [Read More]

Woods Rockets to Second Straight Outagamie Modified Win

By Joe Orsini SEYMOUR, Wis. (Jul. 4, 2025) – As the calendar flipped from June to July, temperatures rose—and so did the excitement at Outagamie Speedway. The Friesen Performance IMCA Modified main event saw Cody Schroeder lead the opening lap from the front row. That lead was short-lived, though, as Skyler Woods blasted the high side on lap two and rocketed into the top spot. Woods was able to fend off all challengers over the balance of the race to secure his second consecutive win at Outagamie and in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Schroeder finished second with Dylan Waldvogel rounding out the podium in third. Stedjee Survives Late Caution to Score First Stock Car Win of 2025 Dylan Stedjee pulled away from the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car field at the drop of the green from his pole position starting spot.
