Gearhart checks out on Spring Fling IMCA Modified foes

By Mike Hughes WaKEENEY, Kan. (March 30) – Cody Gearhart checked out on everybody in winning the IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified feature at WaKeeney Speedway’s Spring Fling special. Marty Clark had jumped out to the early lead in Sunday’s headliner only to slide off the back­stretch on lap three and go to the tail of the field. That gave the front spot to Gearhart, who sped off and left the field way behind en route to the $1,000 payday. Dylan Sherfick chased Gearhart but had to settle for second, followed by Jeremy Frenier, Tim Watts and Kyle Rohleder. Gearhart was already on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invita­tional. Mike Nichols scored his third $750 Dirt Track Central Jax Sports Grille Great Plains Series victory in as many nights, in an IMCA Sunoco Stock Car field loaded with heavy hitters. Jason Rogers took the lead at the drop of the green and three early cautions kept the pack close. Rogers continued to lead at the halfway mark of the 25-lap event, followed by [Read More]
