MANDAN, N.D. (Aug. 16, 2024) – There’s no doubt about it, Zach Hughbanks is on a roll.
The Minot hotshoe won his sixth straight Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compact feature Friday at Dacotah Speedway.
Defending track champion Krys Yost led early as Alex Thompson, Benjamin Burke and Hughbanks raced hard for second place. Hughbanks shuffled into the third position and quickly challenged Thompson for second.
Hughbanks passed Thompson and set his sights on the leader. On lap five, Hughbanks passed Yost for the lead as Yost fell into the clutches of Thompson and Burke. As the laps wound down, Burke patiently worked his way toward the front, passing Yost for third and Thompson for second.
Unfortunately for Burke, he ran out of time and had to settle for second place ahead of Thompson and Yost. Kevin Purdue held off Harrison Schwartz for fifth.
Jeremy Keller held off Shawn Strand for the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified victory. Jason Wolla made a last-lap pass to finish third ahead of Chris Tushcherer and Marlyn Seidler.
Scott Gartner pulled away from the field to pick up his second consecutive victory in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars. Hunter Domagala just edged out Matt Dosch for second. Jason Berg finished fourth while Shawn Strand rounded out the top five.
