By Ben Deatherage CRESTVIEW, Fla. (Apr. 14, 2025) — For most racers, their story starts with a garage, a go-kart, and a weekend hobby. For Matthew Triefenbach, it started the same—but quickly got complicated by military orders, Arizona heat, and a first sergeant who didn’t care much for trailers in the dorm parking lot. These days, Triefenbach is stationed at Eglin Air Force Base and calls the Florida panhandle home. But in Alabama on April 5, 2025, he made a major breakthrough. At Deep South Speedway in Loxley, he scored his first career Friesen Performance IMCA Modified win—a flag-to-flag run that ended with his hand in the air and a little redemption in his heart. “It was good to come back to Deep South for our local area points racing and start the year off strong there,” he said. “I feel like we had unfinished business from The Clash.” A Strong Start, a Tough Week Just weeks before, Triefenbach had rolled out for the IMCA.TV Clash on the Coast—a growing showcase for the DeVilbiss Racing Eastern [Read More]
By Ben Deatherage BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (Apr. 12, 2025) — The California RaceSaver Sprint Series delivered a thriller Saturday night, where Clovis chauffeur Kyle Rasmussen charged from sixth to win the 25-lap RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car main event at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern County Raceway. Rasmussen made his move into second just before Pombo hit lapped traffic. With the field bunching up ahead of the leader, Rasmussen seized his opportunity—sliding under Pombo to take command entering turn one on lap 16. From there, Rasmussen never looked back. He powered away from the pack to secure his second straight win with the California RaceSaver Series in as many events. Pombo held on for second, with Phil Heynan completing the podium in third. The event was streamed live on IMCA TV affiliate Track Vision TV powered by Low Budget TV. The full replay is now available to subscribers through the IMCA TV Replay Subscription for just $24.99.

By Don Hawkins HARLAN, Iowa (Apr. 12, 2025) — The Sunoco IMCA Late Models were on tap at Shelby County Speedway’s Igloo 25 with a $1,000-to-win main event, and it was 20-year-old Jarrett Getzschman who made headlines at the drop of the checkered flag. The Council Bluffs racer took full advantage of a front row starting spot and looked composed throughout the feature. After grabbing the lead near the halfway point, Getzschman held off a charging field of veterans to score his first-ever IMCA Late Model victory. Brett Hopp made a last-lap bid but had to settle for second, while Nebraskan Kale Kosiski rounded out the podium in third. Greenwood Leads Every Lap for Sprint Car Score Jake Greenwood dominated the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car main, leading every lap of the $1,000-to-win affair despite several stoppages—including a couple of red flags for flips. The 26-year-old from Woodward never wavered, even with South Dakota’s Less Goos Jr. charging from 10th to second late in the contest. It was Greenwood’s first win of the 2025 season.

By Ben Deatherage BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (Apr. 4, 2025) — On March 22nd this year, Bakersfield native Gavyn Manning embarked on what would become one of the most unforgettable nights of his young career. Competing at the Bill and Shirley Meyer Memorial at Mohave Valley Raceway in Bullhead City, Arizona, Manning flipped his car during hot laps—a chaotic beginning to what would soon become a rare and remarkable comeback story. “I was going to try and go to the top of the board in hot laps, but I didn’t realize how greasy the track was,” Manning explained. “I hit some grease going into turn three and blew off the top and rolled and ended on top of the tractor tires. More than anything, it was sheet metal damage, but it really bent the J-bar. We beat out the roof, the sail panels, and the deck and had to scramble and find a new J-bar, and made it just in time for the heat race.” What followed was the kind of story race fans live for. With adrenaline [Read More]
By Ben Deatherage ABBEVILLE, La. (Apr. 1, 2025) — Cassidy Lejeune is a rising force in the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car division, representing Abbeville, Louisiana—pronounced “Ab-bay-ville,” a nod to its French roots, derived from the word “Abbé,” meaning abbot.

Fueled by grit, determination, and a deep passion for the sport, he has been turning heads with his recent speed and consistency—and appears poised for a breakthrough win at any time now.

By Ben Deatherage BOONE, Iowa (April 5, 2025) — Cam Reimers emerged victorious in a back-and-forth battle with Cole Suckow to win Saturday’s 20-lap Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMod feature during the Iowa Frostbuster at “Iowa’s Action Track,” Boone Speedway. Suckow, the defending Independence Motor Speedway champion, led early after a tight duel with 2023 Harris Clash winner Reimers. The two traded the top spot multiple times through the middle portion of the race while navigating lapped traffic. A late caution with eight laps to go set up a dramatic finish. Reimers took the lead on lap 14, but Suckow answered a lap later. Reimers again surged ahead on lap 17, only for Suckow to reclaim it. Reimers, of Kelley, made the final pass stick coming to the white flag and held on to score his first win of the year — a redemption drive after an early exit while battling for the win the night before at Marshalltown. Nebraska’s Tyler Nerud, the defending Beatrice Speedway champion, snatched third at the line over two-time reigning Boone [Read More]
