IMCA Late Models race for Sunoco bonuses at US 30, Off Road

COLUMBUS, Neb. (July 19, 2023) – Division title sponsor Sunoco Race Fuels awards $250 bonuses at two upcoming IMCA Late Model race nights, Thursday at US 30 Speedway and Sunday at East Moline Speedway. The July 20 show at Columbus, Neb., was postponed following a rainout last week. Drivers can receive the bonus one time in a season so the $250 would be given to the top finishing non-winning driver any night the winner has already earned the bonus at another track. Gates open at 5 p.m. at Columbus, where hot laps are at 7:15 p.m. and racing follows. At East Moline, Ill., on July 23, pit gates open at 2:30 p.m. and the grandstand opens at 3:30 p.m. Hot laps at 4:30 p.m. precede the first green flag. Pit passes are $30 both nights and $15 for kids 12 and under at East Moline. Late Models will be joined each evening by IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods. IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars have a $2,000 to win Governor’s Cup show [Read More]

By Randy Pospishil sports@norfolkdailynews  NORFOLK, Neb. (May 11, 2024) – The 2024 IMCA Speedway Motors Weekly Racing season, and with it the chase for individual points championships, began Saturday night at Off Road Speedway.  Among the feature winners in the sanctioned classes competing on a weekly basis were Anthony Roth in the IMCA Sunoco Late Models, Cameron Wilkinson in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, Nic Kimmel in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and James Roebuck in the Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods. Roth, a Columbus racer, started on the outside of row two in the Late Model feature and remained among the top five during the first half of the race while multi-time defending national champion Cory Dumpert held the lead. With 11 laps left in the 25-lap race, a caution created an opportunity for Roth to get to the front. Dumpert drifted high in turn two before diving back to the inside, attempting to occupy the space between Roth and Chase Osborne, but as the cars sped down the backstretch Roth had the lead.

By Randy Pospishil sports@norfolkdaylynews.com NORFOLK, Neb. (June 1, 2024) – His early surge from the third row ended up taking Tejay Mielke all the way to victory lane Saturday at Off Road Speedway. Mielke broke through a cluster of four IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, including the rides of polesitter Nate Desive, Ron Pettitt, Jeremy Hoskinson and Derek Sehi, all of whom were contending for the lead.  Once the hometown racer got to the front, however, those drivers, joined by Cameron Wilkinson, spent the remainder of the 15-lap feature racing for second place behind Mielke. Wilkinson closed the gap and, with five laps remaining, settled in on Hoskinson’s rear bumper. As the two cars entered turn three, Wilkinson used the high side of the track to make the pass coming out of turn four to edge Hoskinson at the flag stand with Wilkinson taking second while Hoskinson was third. In a similarly close finish, Travis Landauer won his first-ever IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature at Off Road Speedway. Landauer, whose starting position in the 16-car field [Read More]
