Gould Doubles Down: Two Wins at Two Tracks in One Night

By Ben Deatherage BELLS, Texas (Apr. 12, 2025) — The season opener for Grayson County Speedway saw an exciting 20-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature where 2013 National and six-time reigning GRT Race Cars South Central Region title winner William Gould stole the show — capping off a rare doubleheader sweep after winning earlier in the night at Southern Oklahoma Speedway. Joe Gomez, the defending track champion, took the early lead before being pressured by Jay Wells before a caution slowed the pace a few laps in. On the restart, Gomez spun in turn four, handing the lead to Wells. Larry Osborne moved into second and began hounding Wells for the top spot. Rodney White, the 2022 Smiley’s Racing Products IMCA Southern SportMod National champion, joined the battle, making it a thrilling three-car fight. Osborne briefly grabbed the lead, only for Wells to reclaim it the next lap. Another caution bunched up the field, and Osborne again surged to the front. But it was Gould, piloting the Kerry Fryer-owned No. 60, who charged from 19th to [Read More]

Cook Claims Stock Car Thriller

By Ben Deatherage KENNEDALE, Texas (Apr. 12, 2025) — Cameron Cook powered to his second win of the season in the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature at Kennedale Speedway Park, holding off late challenges in a 20-lap barnburner. Christian Miller took the early lead before Damon Hammond slipped under him to lead lap 3. Cook, however, surged down the backstretch and used the top groove to edge past Hammond and take command the next time around the ¼-mile oval. Hammond, the defending KSP title winner, and Cook, the 2022 Texas State champion, both looked strong before cautions on laps eight and ten reset the field. That opened the door for Brett McMillin and Jerrett Bransom to take charge of podium positions. Bransom, a three-time KSP Stock Car champ, made a series of bids to pass Cook using the bottom groove. Each time, Cook’s momentum off the top held strong. On the final lap, Bransom tried one last move, but Cook again held firm. The 24-year-old from Mansfield picked up his second win of the season in [Read More]

The two front-runners engaged in a thrilling side-by-side duel as Zentgraf worked the high side lap after lap. On lap 16, he finally made the pass stick. Even lapped traffic couldn’t slow Zentgraf in the closing laps as he raced to his second consecutive win at Southern Oklahoma. Chambers settled for second while 20-year-old hometown driver Austin Brownlee claimed third.

Five-time Heart O’ Texas titleholder Jason Batt jumped to the lead at the start of the 20-lap main event and appeared poised to pick up another win. Moss kept Batt within striking distance, stalking the leader for several laps while defending HOT champion Paul White fended off challenges from 2022 track titlist Dustin Mooney and three-time EQ Cylinder Heads Southern Region kingpin Westin Abbey. Batt encountered heavy traffic with six laps remaining, and on lap 15, was collected by a lapped car, bringing out a caution and ending his tenure at the front. That handed the lead to Moss, who capitalized on the opportunity with a flawless restart. White claimed second, and Mooney secured third after a hard-fought battle with Abbey.
