WINSTON, Mo. (Sept. 21) – Jake Cameron scored a close win in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car division at I-35 Speedway. Cameron and Greg Kuehn battled wheel-to-wheel for the entire race with Cameron edging Keuhn by a mere car-length at the line to take the feature victory. Point leader Dean Wray was third with Brad Whitney and Gene Stigall rounding out the top five. With cautions plaguing the early going of the Karl Chevrolet IMCA Northern SportMod feature, several cars found the pits and did not return to action. When the smoke cleared, a familiar face found victory lane for the third time this season. Jeremy Pittsenbarger picked up the feature victory while holding off the hard charge of Mitch Booher. Josh Barnes held off Mathew Webb to finish third. Caleb Dennis recovered from an early race encounter to round out the top five. IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock newcomer Scott Treadwell tasted victory for the very first time. Lee Farmer took the lead with three laps to go, only to have lapped traffic come into [Read More]

WATSONVILLE, Calif. (Sept. 20-21) – Maybe it was the effort from holding off Ryan McDaniel and Jeff Taylor that had Bobby Hogge IV breathless at the end of Ocean Speedway’s Pat Pettit Memorial Shootout. Or maybe it was the rooftop celebration that followed Hogge’s $15,003 win Saturday evening at Watsonville, in the top-paying event for IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modifieds. The victory produced the career best payday for Hogge, who had to keep McDaniel and Taylor at bay in a green, white, checkered finish to the 50-lap main event. “I don’t know if I took a breath after the last caution,” he said. “I didn’t know if it was going to give them an opportunity or me time to make a mistake. I just told myself I needed to race like I had the last 20 laps and I’d be OK.” After a rough opening night, Taylor raced his way into contention after winning his “B” feature. Brad Pounds, another “B” winner, and Bryan Burnes completed the top five. Randy McDaniel and Brian Cass enjoyed [Read More]

By Jeremy Fox MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (Sept. 20-21) – Six sanctioned features resulted in as many different winners at Marshalltown Speedway’s World Nationals special. Friday victories went to Donavon Smith in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, Carter VanDenBerg in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Jamie Songer in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks. Saturday checkers flew for Kyle Vanover in the Stock Cars, Tony Dunker in the Northern SportMods and Austin Luellen in the Hobbies. Both Stock Car and both SportMod features paid $1,000 to win. The Hobby Stock features paid $500. In the opening night Stock Car feature, it was Todd Reitzler grabbing the lead right after the first lap was scored. Robert Stofer took over until lap four, when Smith worked his way from ninth to take the front spot away. Smith checked out from that point and took the win over Jordan Grabouski, Brian Irvine, Vanover and Damon Murty. Track champion Eric Elliott set the early pace for the SportMod feature with plenty of two- and three-wide racing behind him. VanDenBerg drove by [Read More]

DAVENPORT, Iowa (Sept. 21) – Jeff Aikey raced to his tour-career leading 61st feature win and Brian Harris clinched his career first Deery Brothers Summer Series championship Saturday night at Davenport Speedway. Aikey passed Justin Kay with eight circuits to go in the 40-lapper, then ran away from the rest of the field enroute to the $3,000 checkers. The seven-time IMCA Late Model tour king also went home with the $250 Sunoco Race Fuels feature qualifier drawing prize and another $99 check from Ideal Ready Mix for perfect series attendance. Kay was runner-up to Aikey in the finale and to Harris in the point standings by 25 markers. Harris redrew 12th and fell back in the pack before driving all the way back to third. He’ll be rewarded for his season-long efforts with a $5,000 share of the series point fund during the IMCA national awards banquet in November. Andy Eckrich and Jason Rauen completed the top five at Davenport. Dan Shelliam took charge from outside the front row and led the first nine times [Read More]

WACO, Texas (Sept. 13) – With only one race left in the 2013 season, point races tightened up in several classes Friday night at the Heart O’ Texas Speedway. Jason Batt used his second place finish in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature to take the lead by one point over Charles Cosper in the championship battle. Zach Riley won the feature and Tristan Carmen raced to third. Cosper finished in sixth. The IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock feature was won by Jeremy Oliver. Garrett Rawls took second, and point leader Cody Frank, finished third to maintain a narrow four point margin at the top of the standings. Brothers Kevin and T.J.

CRYSTAL, Mich. (Sept. 14) – Front running drivers usually don’t like to see caution flags come out late in the race, especially when there’s big money on the line. That wasn’t the case Saturday at Crystal Motor Speedway, where Myron DeYoung drove to his third straight and fourth career Great Lakes Nationals title. The $3,000 IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified victory put him on the ballot for next year’s Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. DeYoung started third in the 50 lapper and caught Brady Hollenbeck for the lead on the 12th circuit. He was still in front and looking for a way through the back of the pack when that fortuitous yellow flew with 10 to go. “When that caution came out it was a big sigh of relief for me,” DeYoung said. “The cars ahead were running two and three-wide and I was looking for a way through.” Sticking to his preferred higher line, DeYoung sped to the checkers ahead of A.J. Ward, Robert Hutson, Toby Steele and Paul Grosnickle. “I like races like this [Read More]
