Fast track provides exciting night of racing at CJ Speedway

By Jerry Mackey COLUMBUS JUNCTION, Iowa (April 28, 2023) – Friday night saw the second night of racing at the CJ Speedway located on the Louisa County Fairgrounds in Columbus Junction. A beautiful day gave way to a typical cool spring evening and the motors were humming on the super-fast 4/10-mile oval. The Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds main event took the green with veteran racer Troy Cordes taking the lead from his outside front row starting position. Cordes built a commanding lead as the race went green to checkers. Defending track champion Jarrett Brown moved into second as the race neared the midway point and set out to chase down leader Cordes, who had built a commanding lead. Lapped traffic came into play late in the race and Brown was able to use traffic to reel in Cordes. The two front runners split a slower car as the race off turn four to the checkers saw Cordes score the win by a bumper ahead of Brown. Kurt Kile ran third, ahead of Brandon Banks.

Shrader, Foulger share Antioch Speedway spotlight

By Candice Martin ANTIOCH, Calif. (April 22, 2023) – Kenny Shrader won the 20-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod main event Saturday night at Antioch Speedway. Last year’s Bill Bowers Memorial winner had led several laps a week ago before mechanical gremlins sent him to the sidelines.

Ryan hit the wall after relinquishing third to Mark Garner on lap 15. Shrader drove a flawless race and scored the victory ahead of Fraser. Two-time defending champion Fred Ryland made a late move to finish third ahead of Garner and Trevor Clymens. Troy Foulger won the 20-lap IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature.
