By Lonnie Wheatley DODGE CITY, Kan. (June 25) – Brendon Gemmill turned in a dominant performance to capture his first 20-lap Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feature win of the year during Saturday’s H&H Roofing Night atop the 3/8-mile Dodge City Raceway Park clay oval. Gemmill started the 20-lap IMCA Modified feature event from the front row outside and led through­out to capture the win by nearly a straightaway. After a pair of incidents eliminated one-third of the 21-car field before a lap was completed, Gem­mill gunned into the lead and was a straightaway ahead of Tracy Link and Ryan Heger when the caution flew after eight laps. While his lead was erased, Gemmill wasted little time reestablishing his advantage and held it to the line. In his wake, Heger raced into second and held the spot the rest of the way with Link, Tom Beavers and William Nusser rounding out the top five. In the 12-lap IMCA SportMod main event, Jeff Kaup took over at the midway point and raced on to his third victory [Read More]

Jay Schmidt out fought Donavon Smith as they went second and third, respectively. Tasler started on the pole of the 18-lap Northern SportMod event and led all laps on the way to the win. Chad Ryerson chased Tasler for most of the race to take the runner-up spot. Third went to tenth starter, Randy Roberts. Another new winner came from the Hobby Stocks when LeGere put [Read More]

By Jerry Mackey WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (June 25) –The iWireless IMCA Late Model 25-lapper capped off the night’s racing action Saturday at West Liberty Raceway and Chad Holladay scored his third win of the season on a very high-speed track. The high humidity made for a heavy, fast track and the Shepherd Engine-powered Late Model of Hol­laday found the conditions to his liking as he took command early from race leader Ron Boyse and went on to score an impressive win. Andy Eckrich made a late race run to finish se­cond ahead of Boyse. The Performance Concepts IMCA Modifieds continue to thrill the West Liberty Raceway fans with great racing and Saturday night’s main event was another nail biter. Jerry Luloff came away the winner breaking a two-year winless drought at West Liberty. The win was a very hard-fought one as Luloff had to fight off eventual second place finisher Chris Zogg and a fast closing Bruce Hanford at the finish line. Dalton Simonsen scored his fourth Weikert Iron & Metal IMCA Northern SportMod win. [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (June 24) – Collen Winebarger was fastest on the second Fast Friday of the season at Cottage Grove Speedway. Nearly 30 Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modifieds were checked in and Brian Thompson showed the way early. Thompson blazed the trail in the first handful of laps but was never able to get out to a large lead due to several cautions. Shortly after a sixth lap restart Thompson was overtaken by Winebarger, who maintained the top position for much of the race despite ensuing cautions. Winebarger was briefly out of the lead on lap 23 only for the yellow to come back out before the lap was complete. Winebarger stayed in front after the final restart and held on to win his second race at Cottage Grove in 2016. Mark Wauge was a close second, followed by Curtis Towns, Braedon Hand and Eric Ashley. Wauge set fast time for the night and also won the trophy dash.

Brandon Maitland moved into the lead on lap two of the Performance Bodies Modified “A” main. The young gun protected the bottom once he assumed the lead. The rookie Gustin worked her way into second completing lap number five. After running a handful of laps trying to find a way underneath Maitland, she moved to the high line.

Auringer. “I think Independence (Motor Speedway) and Marshalltown (Speedway) has the toughest competi­tion in the state,” Gustin said from victory lane, “so to win our first here means a lot. I can’t thank everyone enough.” Smock scored the [Read More]
