Reed Scores First 2026 Win After Late-Race Shakeup at Grays Harbor

By Shaun Hulbert ELMA, Wash. (Apr. 25, 2026) — Brenton Schnitzer took the early lead with Devon Reed close behind in the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature. Disaster struck on lap two when contact mid-pack sent Scott Miller spinning hard into the outside wall. Craig Moore slowed, and Jim Ragsdale collided with him, sending Moore into the infield. The incident ended the night for Miller and Ragsdale, among others, but Moore was able to keep moving before the red flag and retained his position. On the restart, Schnitzer continued to lead while a strong battle developed behind him. Zane Miner ran second, with Reed, Moore, and John Higgenbottom racing hard for fourth and fifth over several laps. A caution for debris slowed the field, and on the restart Reed worked past Miner for second. A few laps later, the race took another turn when Schnitzer spun in turns three and four, sending him to the back and handing the lead to Reed. Moore mounted a challenge, but Reed used the high side to maintain momentum and [Read More]

Neal Returns from Retirement to Win Maquoketa Stock Car Thriller

By Jerry Mackey MAQUOKETA, Iowa (Apr. 25, 2026) — The 2026 racing season got underway Saturday night in grand style at the quick quarter-mile dirt track located on the Jackson County Fairgrounds at Maquoketa Speedway, and the Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars delivered a classic feature as drivers raced three- and four-wide throughout the entire main event. Terry Neal came out of retirement to race one of Colton and Danielle Dirks’ Stock Cars, and the elder Neal showed he still has the ability to wheel a race car in fine fashion. Neal fought off constant challenges from Oshkosh, Wisconsin’s Pressley Harrington to score the win by less than a car length, his first of the year in the EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region. David Brandies ran up front the entire race before settling for third ahead of Neal’s son, Gage Neal. Casey Shelliam was fifth after starting 12th. The Karl Kustoms IMCA Modified feature saw past Maquoketa and national champion Bone Larson wheel the P.J. Kostenbader-owned No. B1 to the win on opening night. Larson was fortunate [Read More]
