Berry is best in Bald Tire Bash at Benton County Speedway

VINTON, Iowa (Aug. 14, 2022) – Sure, the $2,000 was nice, but Tom Berry Jr. had extra motivation Sunday night at Benton County Speedway. Berry, who already earned qualifying eligibility for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational in his IMCA Modified, was looking to do the same in his IMCA Sunoco Stock Car for the B&B Racing Chassis All-Star Invitational. He did just that during the Bald Tire Bash, which required drivers to use tires with a tread depth of no more than 5/32”. Leah Wroten led throughout the early stages of the 25-lapper while Dallon Murty and Kaden Reynolds gave chase. Wroten’s pursuers became the pursued when they made their way around her and into a battle for the lead while Berry worked from a row five start. Murty maintained the point when caution slowed action with 19 laps complete. Berry, who restarted in the second row, kept pace with Murty when racing resumed and positioned himself to steal the lead in turn four on the ensuing lap. Berry completed the slide job and then [Read More]

The victory, Williams’ first of the season and first at Deshler since April of 2016, came in the third annual event held in memory of his life-long friend and in a field mde up of more than its fair share of former IMCA national and IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s champions. “I pulled onto the track thinking this race was 30 laps and that’s a long ways to keep all those guys behind me,” said Williams, who started from the pole after finishing second to one of those former national champs, Jordan Grabouski, in his heat. “Winning this race meant more than $5,000 to me.

Late leads pay off in Off Road features

By Randy Pospishil sports@norfolkdailynews.com NORFOLK, Neb. (July 30, 2022) – Getting the lead early wasn’t an advantage in any of the four features Saturday night at Off Road Speedway. The winners in each, the IMCA Sunoco Late Models, IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks and Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods, didn’t obtain the lead until at least midway through their respective races, but all made it to victory lane. Matt Haase, for example, needed 13 of the Late Models’ 25 laps to move up from his middle-of-the-field starting position, but when he got to the front he took full advantage of the opportunity, earning his first Off Road Speedway win of the season. Haase, who had only one other top five finish in eight feature performances, passed Devin Johnson in turn four of the first lap following a caution, then sped away from the rest of the pack and also effectively handled lapped traffic to win handily with second-place finisher Cory Dumpert unable to make up ground. Chase Osborne grabbed third. Cameron Wilkinson [Read More]
