BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 23, 2024) – Season championship night at Hancock County Speedway on Friday night was sponsored by Doug Studer Farms and KIOW 107.3 Radio.
In the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds, Jeremy Mills entered the night with a sizable point lead and was crowned the track champion. In the feature, he worked the top side repeatedly until he was able to get past Cody Knecht in the second half of the main.
Knecht, who led the first half of the event, used a late-race caution to make one last attempt to get past Mills but had to settle for second. Kelly Shryock gained six spots to finish third ahead of Nick Meyer.
The closet point battle of the night was in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars. Troy Swearingen entered the night with a three-point lead on Heath Tulp.
Tulp led the entire feature and collected the trophy but had to fend off a charging Swearingen, who fell back several spots early in the race. Swearingen finished a close second and secured the season point title. Shryock and Loren Pesicka Jr. completed the top four.
There were several twists and turns in the Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod main.
Josh Appel led the first couple of laps but spun by himself in turn four, sending him to the back. Colby Fett took over the top spot until he spun in turn one, putting Alec Fett as the leader.
While Alec Fett was the leader and in command, Appel flew through the field to third. A late caution had Appel steal the win over the last couple of laps for the win. Alec Fett finished second and was the season point champion. Third and fourth went to Jake Sachau and Charlie Stevens, respectively.
While Brandon Nielsen had the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock point title wrapped up when he started the main, Mike Smith stole the show.
Smith, who went from fourth to first as they approached halfway, won the main handily. Nielsen finished second ahead of Chris Krug and Dan Hanselman.
