Shrader, Foulger share Antioch Speedway spotlight

By Candice Martin ANTIOCH, Calif. (April 22, 2023) – Kenny Shrader won the 20-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod main event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. Last year’s Bill Bowers Memorial winner had led several laps a week ago before mechanical gremlins sent him to the sidelines. Tommy Fraser took the early lead ahead of Shrader, but Shrader moved into the lead after a lap four restart ahead of Jason Ryan Jr. However, Fraser went around the outside of Ryan to take second on lap five. Ryan hit the wall after relinquishing third to Mark Garner on lap 15. Shrader drove a flawless race and scored the victory ahead of Fraser. Two-time defending champion Fred Ryland made a late move to finish third ahead of Garner and Trevor Clymens. Troy Foulger won the 20-lap IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature. Travis Dutra, another two-time defending track king, set the early pace ahead of Jason Robles and Raymond Noland, who got sideways, resulting in Robles spinning to avoid contact for a yellow flag on lap five.

Tindall capitalizes, cashes in at I-37

By JM Hallas PLEASANTON, Texas (April 22, 2023) In my best Michael Buffer voice, “Let’s get ready to rummmblllllllllllle.” It was a big Saturday night at I-37 Speedway as the weekend kicked off the first of four $1,000 to win mini-series races for the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds, sponsored by Sundowner Performance Diesel. The Fast Shafts Invitational qualifier got off to a shaky start. The first try saw Chris Morris get out, trailed by Ryan Doyon, Tanner Whitmire, Logan Dinsmore and Cameron Starry. Dinsmore looped it in turns 3-4 with Matt Banker trying to dodge him and making contact with Darrell Boyd. On the next try, Whitmire got second from Doyon, but Boyd would go around for another caution. Finally under green again Whitmire got past Doyon and had a run on Morris for the lead. Dillon Tindall was next to try to put Doyon back a spot and got a look on Whitmire for second on lap three. Dinsmore was working his way back up, taking fifth from Starry on lap five. Up front, Morris [Read More]

Eddie Sites and defending tour champion Rodney Morgan brought the field to the green for the main event, and after Lance Conley spun on the front stretch on the first start attempt with a broken tie rod and Jacob McConnell broke a rear end under the ensuing caution, racing resumed with Sites grabbing the lead. Stremme and Rich Michael quickly moved into second and third. Stremme closed in on Sites and passed him to take the lead on lap two.

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (April 22, 2023) – Joey Danley began his IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car title defense with the checkers on a chilly 60th season opener at Eagle Raceway Saturday night.
