By Ben Deatherage WOODHULL, N.Y. (Apr. 16, 2025) – The Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds are returning to “New York’s Toughest Bullring” in 2025, as Woodhull Raceway becomes part of the Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing program with five sanctioned events scheduled from May through September. Located in the Southern Tier of the Empire State, the 1/3-mile oval will host one IMCA Modified event each month, highlighted by the prestigious Sean Lias Memorial on July 26. The Memorial, now relocated to Woodhull, will pay $1,037 to win and $125 to start, and serve as a Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational qualifier.

We’re mixing things up a bit, giving some of the other classes the night off, and are excited to host the Modifieds again.” Woodhull is no stranger to [Read More]

Nezworski Wins Late Model Feature at Davenport opener 

By Jeffery Struck DAVENPORT, Iowa (Apr. 11, 2025) – Despite a chill in the air, the Koehler Electric Season Opener at Davenport Speedway, provided a great night of racing. That was until you made it to the tech area. A number of drivers were guilty of infractions throughout the evening. Some even changed the outcome of races. Bryce Garnhart dominated the Sunoco IMCA Late Model feature. Bryce led all twenty-five laps and finished more than seven seconds ahead of the second-place car. Unfortunately, he came across the scales fifteen pounds light in post-race inspection. That handed the win to Andy Nezworski, who started in seventh. Matt Ryan finished second with pole sitter Jake Morris taking third. It was Nezworski’s first win of 2025. Kyle Montgomery picked up the win in the Friesen Performance IMCA Modified main. Kyle swapped the lead a couple of times with pole sitter Kaity Sample early in the race. He took the lead for good on lap five, but still had to hold off the challenges of Logan Veloz and Charlie Mohr to earn [Read More]

Harnick Powers to Victory at Crystal

By Ben Deatherage CRYSTAL, Mich. (Apr. 12, 2025) — The 20-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified main event at Crystal Motor Speedway delivered a dramatic finish during the track’s 2025 opener, ultimately awarding Austin Harnick the win after a post-race penalty. Kody Johnson, the 2017 Tri-City Motor Speedway champion, edged out Nathan Paitrick to lead the opening lap before a caution slowed the field. Chase Rosebrugh jumped into second on the restart and powered around Johnson to take command on lap 5. Rosebrugh, the 2023 DeVilbiss Racing Eastern Region Rookie of the Year, set a blistering pace and opened a sizable gap over the field. Harnick, the reigning Merritt Speedway track titlist and defending Great Lakes Nationals winner, settled into second and began to chip away at the lead. As Rosebrugh encountered thick lapped traffic, Harnick closed in to set up a tense final-lap showdown. The two battled fiercely coming to the white flag with slower cars still in play. Rosebrugh crossed the finish line first, but following post-race technical inspection, he was penalized two positions for [Read More]

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]

Janssen Scores Big Win at Cedar County “Spring Fling”

By Jerry Mackey TIPTON, Iowa (Apr. 12, 2025) — Drew Janssen added another major win to his résumé by capturing the $1,500 to win Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature during the “Spring Fling” at Cedar County Raceway. The 25-lapper featured a stacked field of Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s, National, and multi-time track champions. Austin Stamm, aboard the Timmy and Marsha Current provided No. 12T, and Dylan Thornton led early until Janssen, driving the Danny Meier and Trent Guest-owned No. 127, took over on lap 5. The Pella pilot controlled the pace from there, only briefly threatened following a late-race caution. On the restart, local standout Ben Chapman charged low and crossed the line in second, while 10th-starting Jeff Larson guided the P.J. Kostenbader-fielded No. B1 to a third-place finish. The win marked Janssen’s second of the season in the Razor Chassis North Central Region. Tyler Wilson made a long haul from Little Suamico, Wis., to tackle the competitive Sunoco IMCA Stock Car field—and the trip paid off. Wilson came out on top [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]

Thomas Wins a Thriller at Lincoln Park

By Zack Pauley PUTNAMVILLE, Ind. (Apr. 11, 2025) – The feature event saw Ethan Barrow, the defending state champion, jump out to the early lead in the season opener for the Huntley’s Hoosier Winged Sprints at Lincoln Park Speedway. A couple of early cautions included Ryan Tusing’s slowing, who had previously flipped in his heat race, and a spin from Blake Sholders. The lone red flag of the race came when Tres Mehler flipped his machine on the bottom of the track in between turns three and four. While Ethan Barrow ripped the top of the track and picked off lapped cars, a war was being waged behind him. Jack Thomas from Bates City, Missouri, and Jordan Welch were blazing through the field trying to catch the leader. Thomas was penalized two spots after a late race caution for jumping a spot earlier on a restart, but it would not deter him from quickly getting back to second place with his eye on Barrow. In what could be described as a heavyweight fight, Barrow and Thomas [Read More]
