Jerovetz is back for win at Britt, Krug is IMCA Hobby Stock Titan

By Chad Meyer BRITT, Iowa (July 19, 2024) – Troy Jerovetz continues to be a fan of Hancock County Speedway. A winner at Britt earlier in the season, he claimed the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature event Friday night. A caution erased his 2.5 second lead and Jerovetz had to hold off a charging Kelly Shryock and Colby Fett. Justin Ades rounded out the top four. Early in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature, a three-wide battle between Zane DeVilbiss, Jeremy Mills and Todd Steinhart saw contact between DeVilbiss and Mills.

Mills raced back to claim fourth place. Charlie Stevens earned a long overdue win in the Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods.

Keller collects Friday checkers at Ocean

By Steven Blakesley Blakesley Sports Media WATSONVILLE, Calif. (July 19, 2024) – Kc Keller prevailed over a strong field of Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods to claim Friday’s 20-lap feature at Ocean Speedway. “I had a little baby girl in February, she’s five months old now. It was going to be kind of a lot (to keep racing),” Keller said. “But my son has taken a huge interest this year. So we took the car off the market and as long as he’s going with me and the rest family, we’re going to keep going.” Keller snagged the pole position against a 19-car starting grid. The first caution fell on lap five when Brian Baggett spun in turn two. On the restart, Steven Allee pedaled a bit from second to fourth. Bo Crebs crashed in turn four with front end up damage for the next caution on lap seven. Cody Bryan pitted with a right front flat tire as well. Matt Hagio and Rob Gallaher, the fourth row starters, went head-to-head in a back and forth [Read More]

HARCOURT, Iowa (July 19, 2024) – When Grandma Cindee Broemmer updates the notes she keeps on Tim Ward’s racing results, she’ll have to highlight his July 19 finish at Marshalltown Speedway. Ward won for the 100th time in his Friesen Performance IMCA Modified career Friday night at Marshalltown, adding to an already impressive resume that already includes IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s, Harris Clash, Clash at the Creek and Dakota Classic Tour titles. “This is big. It was cool to finally be able to celebrate it,” said Ward, an Arizona transplant now living in Harcourt, Iowa. “I was excited as much as I was relieved to finally get it. We’ve had that (congratulatory) banner in the pickup for when and if it happened, and sometimes it was almost like a curse.” “To have 100 wins and be considered one of the top IMCA Modified drivers in the country, it’s just crazy. As a kid, you never think you’re going to win a hundred races in anything, let alone a premier class like the Modified,” [Read More]

Douglas County triumph to Stevens

By Ben Deatherage ROSEBURG, Ore. (July 17, 2024) – Jordan Stevens stood on the top step of the podium, following the Wednesday night feature for Mach-1 IMCA Sport Compacts at Douglas County Dirtrack. Bid VanLoon captured the lead in the first set of turns of the feature, but down the backstretch, Stevens powered his way to the front. Stevens built a sizable advantage over the rest of the pack via the high side as the race developed. The father-daughter combination of Burnie and Melissa Bryant fought hard for second. Melissa secured the position a couple of laps into the race. Burnie settled into third, while VanLoon was close behind him in fourth. Stevens began to hit traffic right around the halfway point while Burnie Bryant continued to put pressure for second. The race experienced a bit of twist when Melissa Bryant got into a lapped car on the eighth circuit, forcing Burnie to check up and allowing VanLoon to perform a double overtake. Burnie Bryant rallied to beat Melissa to the line on the same [Read More]

Mayden, Points prevail in Midweek Mayhem at Cottage Grove

By Ben Deatherage COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (July 17, 2024) – Wednesday provided the second installment of the brand-new Midweek Mayhem series at Cottage Grove Speedway, with IMCA feature wins going to Jake Mayden and Trevor Points. When the green flag dropped for the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds, it was Paul Rea who led the pack. He soon found himself in a heated battle with Mayden, who was determined to challenge for the race lead. Rea got some breathing room, but before too long, Mayden worked the bottom of the racing surface brilliantly to beat Rea to the wire on lap four by a mere three hundredths of a second. Mayden pedaled hard to separate from the runner-up and the race for second erupted into a complete melee. Carter Patterson threaded the needle under Rea on the eighth circuit, but Rea was able to get back around him on the following lap. As Rea and Patterson battled, it brought Kevin Williamson into the fold to create a three-car contest for second 11 laps into the contest. [Read More]

We’ve won a lot of races at 141, a lot of $1,000 to win races and two track championships, and we’ve finished in the top four, top five three or four times in this race,” the Green Bay driver said after outrunning Troy Jerovetz to the $10,000 checkers. “This race brings a lot of competition, guys like Benji LaCrosse and Mike Mullen, the best of the best, so this one is definitely one I’ve wanted for a long time. “It’s a relief and absolutely amazing that we finally got it done.” More than 80 of the best drivers in the division from Wisconsin, the Midwest and from as far away as New Mexico were [Read More]
