Johnson comes up big at Arlington

ARLINGTON, Minn. (July 8, 2023) – Rollovers and crashes made for an interesting night for the safety crew at Arlington Raceway on Saturday. A first lap red flag in the IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car feature saw several cars get together in turn two, which resulted in both national points leader Trevor Serbus and Mike Stien rolling their cars. Dave Becker and Owen Carlson also got taken to the pits. The front row was gone so everyone moved up and that gave an opening for Matt Johnson to take the lead and he was a fourth of a lap ahead of the rest of the field. On lap 11, a yellow came out for Dan Griep who had been running second but clipped a tire, spun and was then done for the night. A couple laps later, the no. 4 of Jeremy Snow was moving to the front when he spun. On that restart, Matt and Bill Johnson were neck and neck but Brandon Buyesse made a last-lap pass and got around Bill to take behind [Read More]

124 race teams pack pits at Maquoketa Speedway

By Jerry Mackey MAQUOKETA, Iowa (July 8, 2023) – Saturday night the weatherman provided near perfect conditions for racing at the Maquoketa Speedway and the drivers and fans responded by packing the infield with 124 race teams and a really nice crowd took in an action packed program that saw the final checkered flag of the night wave at 10 pm. The IMCA Sunoco Late Models saw 17 drivers take the green flag for their 25-lap feature. One minor caution slowed the feature before a lap was completed, then the main event went flag to flag. Chance Huston led early taking off from his pole position start. Huston had built a comfortable lead before rookie Jaden Fryer was able to close driving around the extreme high line of the quarter mile. Fryer advanced from the third row and closed on Huston with less than 10 laps to go. Fryer overtook Huston and went on to collect his first-ever IMCA Late Model feature win. Huston was able to hold on for second just ahead of a [Read More]

Point leaders come up short at Off Road Speedway

By Randy Pospishil sports@norfolkdailynews.com NORFOLK, Neb. (July 8, 2023) – Saturday night was a difficult night for the points leaders in the various divisions at Off Road Speedway. Primarily due to issues beyond their control, which forced exits from the racing surface to the pits, none of those drivers finished anywhere near contention for a spot among the top three during the feature races in any of the five divisions. Those circumstances, with just seven nights of points racing remaining this season, leaves the competition for track championships wide open. In the Friesen Performance IMCA Late Model feature, for example, Cory Dumpert was forced to leave the track twice with fuel system problems, ending a performance that had the Newman Grove driver battling for the lead with Dylan Schmer for much of the race. When Dumpert left for the first time with seven laps remaining, which required him to report to the rear of the field upon his return, three cars – Schmer, Chase Osborne, and Nelson Vollbrecht –continued the up front competition. After several [Read More]

Stedjee makes first visit of season to Shawano’s victory lane

SHAWANO, Wis. (July 8, 2023) – Vern Stedjee turned his IMCA Sunoco Stock Car luck at Shawano around 180 degrees with the Saturday night feature win. Seventeenth, 12 and 15th in his last three starts at the Wisconsin speed factory, Stedjee sped to the early lead from his fourth place starting spot and began to pull away from the rest of the field. Business then picked up behind him as Travis VanStraten, Kyle Frederick and Dan Michonski each began making a charge to the front. In the end, however, the challenge of VanStraten was not enough to deny Stedjee the checkers, his first of 2023. Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds had kicked off the nights feature events, with Nick Holtger and Jerry Muenster responsible for leading the field to green. Marcus Yarie quickly made a charge for the lead after a few early cautions, followed by Lucas Lamberies, Johnny Whitman and Jordan Bartz. By lap five, Whitman found his way around his fellow competitors on the top of race track and grabbed the top spot. Lamberies was [Read More]
