VIVIAN, La. (May 6, 2023) – Jeromy Wilson liked everything he saw in his first-ever visit to Ark-La-Tex Speedway Saturday night. Despite his glasses fogging over on the last lap, the newly bespectacled Wilson topped the Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lite event co-sanctioned by the Mod Lites of Arkansas and North Texas Mod Lites. The $1,000 checkers flew for Wilson’s first feature win of the season and came eight thousandth’s of a second ahead of Bryce Vowan. Bobby Bates, Wilson’s son Blake and Andrew Lincoln rounded out the top five. “It was a lot of fun and it was really exciting to be racing with Blake,” said Wilson, who led all 20 laps and ran 1-2 with his son early on. “I saw Bryce on the white flag and told myself “I gotta go.” Twenty-five cars representing four states were entered at Vivian.

First win for Fye on opening night at Boone

By Joyce Eisele BOONE, Iowa (May 6, 2023) – After suffering three straight weeks of rain outs, the Boone Speedway finally got its regular season of track points racing underway on Saturday night and Danny Fye became a first-time Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod feature winner. Fye led all 20 laps, holding back the advances of Cole Fenske in the closing circuits in capturing the victory. Following second place Fenske was hard charger and 15th place starter Braden Richards in third. Randy Bryan had a bit of luck on his side with his win in the Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lite contest. He had passed early leader Ben George on lap four to take over the number one spot, but was docked two spots for a jump on the start. He pulled away from the field and though running out front, was scored in third spot. Luckily for him, a yellow flew at lap seven which realigned him in third spot for the restart, running behind George in first place and Bryan Zehm in second. He immediately [Read More]

Shute scores opening night IMCA Modified win at Marshalltown

By Joyce Eisele MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (April 28, 2023) – Marshalltown Speedway sprang back to action on Friday night with their season points opener. A threat of rain was in the forecast but a field of 118 cars and the show they put on won out. The Friesen Performance IMCA Modified 20-lap feature gave the fans their money’s worth as Dallon Murty and Todd Shute put on quite a show. Murty started second, and immediately took over the top spot and Shute soon tucked on to Murty’s tail after starting third. Then the two began the show for the fans as lap after lap, Murty held court on the top of the track and Shute looking under him went at it. It was a relentless battle between the two with Murty managing to keep the upper hand as each lap was scored. That is, until Shute’s persistence paid off at the line with one lap to go, as he was scored the leader. Shute then kept the top spot the final circuit to take the win [Read More]
