Clean sweeps all around at Salina Speedway 

By Dusty Wiegert SALINA, Kan. (June 26) – For some racers, Friday night it was only the second or third time for their division to race due to the weather. But from the action on the track you’d of thought it was already well into the season as five first time winners for 2015 emerged. Last season, Corey Burch finally picked up his first feature win near the end of the year. This sea­son it only took him three races to do the same in the 1st Class Chassis IMCA Modified division.

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa (June 27) – Mid-season championships were extra special for a pair of drivers Saturday night at Independence Motor Speedway. Brian Hunter and Brian Irvine earned their first trips to victory lane in their respective divisions at their hometown track. Hunter took the green flag from the third row in the 25-lap Budweiser IMCA Late Model headliner. He made his way through traffic while Greg Kastli held the early lead. Hunter reeled in the leader in a handful of laps before making his bid to the low side of Kastli on the sixth circuit. Hunter pulled away from the field and fought off the challenges of Rick Wendling in lapped traffic before the event’s only caution waved with six laps to go. On the restart, Hunter again extended his advantage while Tyler Droste battled Wendling for second. Droste broke free from Wendling as laps wound down, however Hunter raced to the checkers and his first Independence win.

By Greg Aregoni FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (June 25) – In 2014, Mike Mullen started on the pole for 141 Speedway’s 50 lap, $10,000 to win Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified feature.

Mullen won the last-chance qualifier, started 14th on the main event field and picked up his second straight Clash at the Creek win.
