GOODLAND, Kan. (Sept. 26) – Eddie Belec got the monkey off his back, Jeff Tubbs got to the track on time and both got paid $1,500 for their Saturday IMCA feature wins at Sherman County Speedway’s Flatlander Classic.

His Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot qualifying win was his IMCA first since July of 19. “It had been a little while since I won at Goodland. It had been a little while since I won, period,” Belec said. You never know when you’re going to win again. It was nice to get the money off my back.” Contact with a lapped car just after midway caused some concern but ultimately didn’t keep Belec from ending in victory lane. “That was more excitement than I wanted,” he said. “The car never feels like it should when you knock the front end in but it worked out for us.”  Kyle Rohleder and Corey Cox completed the top five.  Tubbs became a [Read More]

GOODLAND, Kan. (Sept. 28-29) – Dominic Ursetta took a new car that had sat idle in his shop all sea­son and parked it in victory lane twice during the Sherman County Speedway Flatlander. Ursetta won both Sept. 28 and 29 IMCA Modified features at Goodland, taking $1,000 checks each night. “I didn’t race much this year but I had a new car (a 2018 GRT by Phillips) sitting in the shop,” he said. “We threw it together and I told the guys after hot laps Friday that we had a good car.” He started from outside the front row on opening night and from 10th Saturday.
