By George, Riden ends nine year PASS drought!

By Frank Buhrman YORK HAVEN, Pa. (Aug. 29) – George Riden had been trying to get his IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car out to the track more often. It paid off Sunday night, when the Elizabethtown veteran won his first Pennsylvania Sprint Series race in nine years, taking the 20-lap feature at BAPS Motor Speedway. Riden drew the outside pole and took the lead from polesitter Drew Young on lap three. He then fought off a ferocious challenge from Dom Melair, whose efforts to go past the leader fell just short. “Work has gotten pretty busy,” Riden said in victory lane. “Racing had to be put on the backburner but these guys over here have been working their butts off and we finally found some speed. It’s been a long time, man, so I’m just happy, just happy.” The win was Riden’s seventh with PASS but his first since Sept. 29, 2112. All six previous wins were at Path Valley Speedway. The veteran racer was a PASS regular from 2005-13 but has run sporadically since then [Read More]

By Evan Canfield BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (Aug. 29) – The NY-Penn IMCA Modified Series made its first trip to the historic Bloomsburg Fair Raceway on Sunday night, marking the first time the division turned laps at the Pennsylvania oval for the sixth race of the 2021 season With four different winners in the first five races, coming to a new venue would be anything but predictable. One thing that nobody predicted was seeing hotshoe David Stremme of Mifflintown try his hand at trying to claim the $1,000 payday. At the conclusion of the night, he would make the trip worthwhile, earning both the grand and Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational qualifying eligibility. Rodney Morgan started the 25-lap feature from the pole, with Logan Terry to his outside. When the race went green, Morgan took off with Jake Maynard settling into second and Keith Jack Lamphere taking third. Drivers jockeyed for position early before the field was reshuffled on lap three for a multi-car pileup in turn one brought out the red flag. All cars continue once everyone [Read More]

By Brian Neal DONNELLSON, Iowa (Aug. 20) – Cayden Carter drove to the $5,000 IMCA Modified win at Lee County Speedway’s Friday night Drive For 5 finale. After two rounds of passing point heat races, Steve Picou and Chris Zogg earned the most points to start the 50-lap Hinkle Auto Sales Drive For 5 main event from the front row. Zogg took advantage of his starting spot to jump out into the lead on lap one over Picou and Carter. On lap three, Carter overtook Picou to move into the runner-up spot and then went to work on Zogg for the lead. Action was slowed on laps four and five for spinning cars and Zogg shot to the front on the ensuing restarts with Carter and Picou close behind. Carter made the move into the top spot on lap eight as fifth-place starter Austin Howes moved in to challenge Zogg for second. The side-by-side battle between Zogg and Howes allowed Carter to begin to pull away. The next thing to slow down Carter was the caution after lap 25 was [Read More]

Cordes, Grady sweep championship night honors at Benton County Speedway

VINTON, Iowa (Aug. 22) – A number of close points battles were finally settled as champions were crowned on the final night of racing for the 2021 season at Benton County Speedway. Troy Cordes and Cristian Grady made the most of the finale by locking up track titles with season championship feature wins on the fast, smooth, multi-grooved, quarter-mile Bullring. Features were lined straight-up based on season point totals, allowing those in contention for track titles to settle things from the front row. And in four of those divisions, margins of four points or fewer separated the top contenders entering the final night. From his pole position start, Cordes quickly made his move to the top side while fellow front row starter and championship contender Dylan Thornton gave chase in the KISS Country 96.5 IMCA Modifieds. Cordes extended his advantage while Thornton tried both high and low to reel in the front-runner. He distanced himself in lapped traffic and built over a straight-away lead to secure the win and track title ahead of a hard-charging [Read More]

Reimers sails to rich Captain of the Creek checkers

FRANCIS CREEK, Wis. (Aug. 19) – Cam Reimers sailed to the $10,000 checkers in the Captain of the Creek feature for IMCA Karl Kustoms Northern SportMods at 141 Speedway. Then he enjoyed some more Wisconsin hospitality, signing autographs and sampling barbeque in the pit area at Francis Creek along with several hundred new friends. The outside front row starter led all 50 laps of the Thursday night main event, keeping Jayden Schmidt in second most of the distance before holding hard charger Elijah Koenig at bay the last four times around the track. After back-to-back cautions on lap nine, Reimers and his closest challengers ran in traffic much of the night as the race stayed green to the checkers. “It’s awesome. It was a really good race,” he said. “I didn’t want to give the lead up early. My tires were pretty tired at the end of the race. I didn’t know if Jayden had gotten by me if we’d be able to catch back up.” A DNQ in his first visit to 141 two [Read More]
