  By Scott Owen SHAWANO, Wis. (May 7) – Former track champions Jerry Wilinski, Dan Michonski, and Lucas Lamberies each scored their first wins of the season Saturday at Shawano Speedway. Second row starter Chucky Forstner led the first two laps of the Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modi­fied feature before Jeremie Hedrick asserted himself with an outside pass.  Hedrick led through lap 12 when the caution flag flew. On the next lap, Wilinski took the lead from Hedrick with an inside pass. Lance Arneson and Mar­cus Yarie joined Wilinski and Hedrick in the top four on lap 15. Yarie went three-wide with Arneson and Hedrick the next time around to grab second. Yarie pressured Wilinski the rest of the way but Wilinski would not be denied the victory.  Yarie finished second, Arneson third, Forstner fourth and Hedrick fifth. Michonski raced his way to second by the fourth circuit and set a course for leader Gary Kasperek.  Michonski went to the outside of Kasperek on lap eight to take the lead away as Travis Van Straten took over [Read More]

AUBURN, Mich. (May 6) – To say defending Main Street Seed and Supply IMCA Modi­fied champion Myron DeYoung has had a rough start to the season at Tri-City Motor Speed­way would be a huge understatement. It looked like maybe his luck would turn around Friday night however, as he dominated his heat race. Starting inside row two, he immediately passed front row starters Craig Vance and Matt Szecsodi and lead through lap 13 in the main event. But once again, A.J. Ward, who has won every feature in 2016, found his way to DeYoung’s back bumper. The frontrunners put on quite a display before Ward pulled away and cruised to win num­ber three on the season. DeYoung was second, followed by Vance, Chad Wernette and “B” winner Austin Wonch. A record 107 drivers vied in the regular weekly show at Auburn.

By Rick Staley ATCHISON, Kan. (May 6) – Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modifieds started their inaugural season at Atchison County Raceway with a bang on Friday as Steven Bowers Jr. won both his heat race and the feature. Hall of Famer Tom Charles sliced and diced through the pack to a solid second place finish, challenging Bowers to the line. Matt Richards had an impressive run placing third with Clay Hale fourth. Other heat race winner Tyson Lanfermann raced his way to fifth. The IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars saw the best of the best take to the track with numerous different leaders throughout the race. Tag Team Challenge winner Greg Keuhn took the early lead with Jim Powell knocking on the door before Brad Whitney entered the picture. Whitney used the high line to pass Keuhn and pulled out to a nice lead until hitting the berm in turn two and spinning out, taking him from the front spot. Powell took over the lead and raced side-by-side with Rich Boyden. Powell pick up the feature [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage COTTAGE GROVE, Ore. (May 7) – Kinzer Cox was in, out and ultimately back in front by the time the checkers flew at the conclusion of Saturday’s Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified main event at Cottage Grove Speedway. Cox snatched the lead early but the Cottage Grove youngster surrendered the lead on lap three to Eric Ashley. Ashley set a very wicked pace but ultimately lost the position to Cox on lap 17.  Cox stayed up front the rest of the way to win his first race of 2016. Ashley ended the evening as runner-up while Tyler Smith was third.  The rest of the top five con­sisted of Steven Sturdevant and Jake Mayden.

HESSTON, Pa. (May 7) – The third time was the charm for Drew Ritchey and the Laurel High­lands IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Series. After back-to-back rainouts, the tour got its opening night show in on Saturday and Ritchey led all 20 laps of the main event at Hesston Speedway. Ritchey and Randy Sterling drew front row starts and Ritchey was quick to set the early pace. Jake Gomola, who had started third, headed up the chase but couldn’t find a way to the front. As the race went on, Sterling’s car appeared to get tight and Nathan Gramley reeled him in. Gram­ley got faster as the race went on and overtook Gomola for second. There wasn’t enough time left for Gramley to complete his charge however as Ritchey capped the win. Gomola, Brad Mellott and Steve Kenawell Jr. completed the top five. The Laurel Highlands Sprint Series heads to Dog Hollow Speedway on Friday, May 13 and re­turns to Hesston on Saturday, May 21.  Feature results – 1. Drew Ritchey; 2. Nathan Gramley; 3.

Jimmy Gustin grabbed his first local win this season in the Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified division, as did Randy Roberts in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Trent Murphy in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars. Only the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks saw a repeat winner, Solomon Bennett. In the Modified 20-lap feature, it was Joel Bushore showing the way until lap 14.  That was when Gustin and Mike VanGenderen, who had started side-by-side in row five, came calling.  Gustin made his way around Bushore and into the lead. Not to be outdone, VanGenderen also got around Bushore and began hunting down Gustin. It wasn’t to be on this night however, as Gustin took the win.  VanGenderen, who had won back on April 23, finished a close second. Bushore held on to third, Russ Dickerson took fourth and fifth went to 11th place starter [Read More]
