MAQUOKETA, Iowa (Apr. 26, 2025) — Fans at Maquoketa Speedway were treated to a heart-pounding finish in the 25-lap Sunoco IMCA Late Model main event. Travis Denning appeared poised to go back-to-back, but a thrilling final-turn scramble in traffic opened the door for Mitch Morris. As the leaders split a lapped car coming to the checkers, Morris shot low while Denning went high, with Logan Veloz charging right behind them. Morris edged ahead at the line for his first win of the 2025 campaign, with Veloz nipping Denning for the runner-up spot.
Mohr Muscles to First Modified Win of the Year
The Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds was another hotly contested race with the final outcome not decided until the final turns of their 20-lap main event. Charlie Mohr raced Shane Paris for several laps before Mohr was able to secure the top spot. A late race caution bunched the field and the last couple of laps saw the Top 5 positions being swapped as the race wound down to the checkers. At the finish line it was Mohr with the win ahead of Jaden Fryer and Chaz Baca, who is the two-time defending IMCA National Modified Champion from Mesa, Arizona. It was Mohr’s first victory of the season in the Razor Chassis North Central Region.
Miles Rolls to Stock Car Victory on the High Side
Jerry Miles scored the win in a very exciting Sunoco IMCA Stock Car main event. Miles rode the very extreme top side of the smooth wide racing surface to the 15-lap feature win. Gage Neal was involved in an early race skirmish but rallied back to take the runner-up spot ahead of Austin Vorbeck. It was Miles’ first EQ Cylinder Heads Northern Region triumph of the year.
Heath Charges to First Career SportMod Win
The Karl Chevrolet IMCA SportMod feature saw Levi Heath race to the front from his seventh position start and score his first ever IMCA SportMod win. Heath’s last feature win came back in 2017 in a Sport Compact. Heath used multiple lines on the track to get to the front and overtake leader Jarett Franzen. Heath took the checkers ahead of Franzen and Ryan Reed. An outstanding field of 30 SportMod drivers signed in on Saturday night.
Miles Comes from 10th for Hobby Stock Victory
The Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks main event saw 24 drivers take the green for their main event. Kile Vohringer led early before mechanical woes sidelined him while leading for the second week in a row. Jordan Miles steadily worked to the front and took the lead late en route to a hard-fought win ahead of Dan Mohr and Scott Wetter. It was the first B&B Racing Chassis Northern Region win of the season for the Bernard driver.
