By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (Aug. 3, 2023) – On a night when the feature winners all earn six-foot trophies, a solid car count competed in front of nice crowd in the grandstand Thursday in the Kossuth County Fair race. Algona Plumbing & Heating added a little extra money to each class at a mystery position by drawing of $200 at the end of their features. The four IMCA divisions racing for a $1,000 first place check all went green-white-checkered. The IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature went caution free as national and track point leader Mike Smith led all 12 laps of the race. The young Lake City driver started on the inside of row one and took the lead immediately off the drop of the green flag and went onto his sixth feature win of the season at the track. Brandon Nielsen was the runner-up as Cody Hubbell took third with James Burns finishing fourth and Josh Sidles rounded out the top five. Sidles was the winner of the $200 mystery draw.

By Joyce Eisele BOONE, Iowa (Aug. 5, 2023) – It was another big night of racing at the Boone Speedway on Saturday, that saw 175 race cars checked into the pits. Sauerman Trucking boosted the payout for the Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lites to a $500 payday, as well as kicking in $50 to each heat winner in all divisions.

When the race went back to green, a lap was not completed when the race was once again red flagged after disaster struck on the backstretch. This time it was Joe Wood taking the tumble, with Scott Bailey and David Meinecke also involved. Once again, thankfully no one was hurt. Bailey held his lead when the race did get back underway, but it was short-lived as he lost [Read More]

Frederick is red hot at Outagamie Speedway

By Edward Anschutz SEYMOUR, Wis. (Aug. 4, 2023) – Kyle Frederick was on fire during Saturday’s IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature at Outagamie Speedway, both literally and figuratively. Frederick raced around Larry Karcz on the fifth circuit and into the lead. As the race progressed, Frederick’s advantage began to shrink as Karcz and Brandon Czarapata chased. It became apparent why Frederick’s lead began to fade as his left rear brake rotor began to glow bright orange. Signifying a stuck brake. Frederick’s machine held on just long enough to take the checkers. Once he pulled in the tech area, the left rear burst into flames. Track officials quicky put out the fire. Czarapata was able to sneak by on the last lap to take second, Karcz had his best run of the year to place third and after starting 21st, Rod Snellenberger completed the top four. Rookie Jeff Schmuhl grabbed the lead on lap three of the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified main and never looked back, cruising to his first win of the season. Jason Ebert chased down the leader [Read More]

Carters collect Dale DeFrance Memorial checkers at Marshalltown Speedway

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (Aug. 4) – Rain may have delayed the festivities one week, but the celebration was bigger than ever Friday night for the Dale DeFrance Memorial at Marshalltown Speedway. An impressive 177 race teams packed the pits and a standing-room only crowd was on-hand for the sixth annual event, which was postponed from last week due to heavy rain that fell at the track shortly after the program got underway. To say the wait was worth it for the Carter family was an understatement as Cayden Carter and Brayton Carter each earned big paydays for their feature wins. Cayden Carter, driving the Maguire DeJong #30, led all 34 laps to score the win in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature. Carter extended his advantage to half a straightaway each time following a pair of restarts over the first half of the event. Following the final stoppage on lap 14, Carter once again paced the field and held off pressure from Tom Berry Jr. to seal the $3,044 payday. Tripp Gaylord ran third ahead of [Read More]

By Greg Soukup EAGLE, Neb. (July 29, 2023) – It was a pretty good week for Marty Steinbach, who became a grandfather for the second time on Thursday and then won his career first IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature Saturday evening at Eagle Raceway.

Richards also got by Boucher to take over second place the following circuit. The final change in the top four came on the final lap as Dan Jackson put the no. 3 car into fourth. “It was a very good run. Matt pushed up and I got under him.
