BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 16, 2024) – Races Friday night were sponsored by John Furst Construction and the Hancock County Snowmobile Association and featured a gold rush on the front straight that featured over $500 in coins for the kids.
Nick Meyer’s season at the Hancock County Speedway didn’t start until after mid-season, and he captured his first Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature of the year on Friday. Over the last five laps he pulled away from second place finisher Kelly Shryock.
Jeremy Mills pressured the top three early but had to settle for third over Cody Knecht.
Shryock won the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car main but had to hold off a quick Colby Fett to do it.
Fett found the bottom to be faster, however Shryock moved his line down just in time to prevent Fett from getting past. Behind Fett was a fast Kevin Ophiem in third while Justin Ades finished fourth.
In the Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods, Doug Smith capitalized on his return to Britt and led every lap. Josh Appel was the fastest over the last few laps and ran down Smith, coming up just shy of the win at the end. Fett finished third ahead of his younger brother Alec.
Dan Hanselman had shown speed all season in Britt and held off Mike Smith at the end for the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock win. It was Hanselman’s first win in over three years. Behind Smith it was Brandon Nielsen and Drew Barglof.
Racing concludes at the Hancock County Speedway Friday, Aug. 23 with season championship night. Hot laps are at 7 p.m.
