ARLINGTON, Minn. (Aug. 3, 2022) – Opportunity knocked and Elijah Zevenbergen answered Wednesday night at Arlington Raceway. The second-running Zevenbergen dove from the top of the track to the bottom following a late restart, taking the lead from Jim Horejsi and ultimately taking the $2,500 checkers in the Sibley County IMCA Sunoco Stock Car Shootout.

Lund inherited the lead, surrendering the point three laps later to Horejsi, who stayed in charge until the lap 22 restart. Tim Pessek and Tim Johnson rounded out the top five. Matt Speckman was the $500 king of the hill winner. Matt Looft repeated as the Shootout Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod winner [Read More]
