Todd Stinehart and Tommy Belmer are the drivers of the Alive And Running Modifieds at Super Nationals

Todd Stinehart and Tommy Belmer are the drivers of the Alive And Running Modifieds at Super Nationals. Alive And Running was founded by Belmer’s brother Troy of Waterloo and Ryan Nesbit of Ankeny. Both grew up in Dunkerton where they lost a high school friend to suicide in 1991. “We started it in 2010 to raise awareness about suicide and suicide prevention,” Troy Belmer said Thursday morning. “We’ve had a ton of people come down and take pictures of the cars and share stories. The biggest thing we try to do is drive home the fact that you never know who’s hurting. There is so much stigma attached to mental illness.” While September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Alive And Running hosts a number of events throughout the year, notably a 5K run/walk in Dunkerton over Father’s Day Weekend. More than 1,000 people from across the country participate in the annual 5K. Alive And Running also started a support group that meets in Waverly once a month. More information is available at the www.aliveandrunningiowa.com website and on Facebook.

Car count nears record at Super Nationals

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 8) – Modifieds and Stock Cars fill the card for the first of two Thursday IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s programs at Boone Speedway. Two hundred and fifty-nine Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modifieds and 191 IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars see heat race action. Those numbers bring the total car count to 872, just four shy of the Super Nationals record set last year. This is the ninth straight year that car counts have exceeded 800 at Super Nationals. Twenty Stock Car and 30 Modified heats set the stage for two qualifying features in both division. Each feature sends four drivers to the inside row of respective main events on Saturday. * Rookie Clay Money of Penokee, Kan., has had the Money Man nickname since his days in a go-kart but he’d trade that moniker for Main Event Qualifier. “With so many good drivers here, it would mean everything for me to make the show in my first year,” he said. “I’ve really enjoyed Super Nationals so far. It’s something everyone needs to [Read More]

Wednesday at Super Nationals

Stanton, Mich.’s Myron DeYoung is racing at Super Nationals for the fifth time. He made the main event in his most recent visit to Boone Speedway, finishing 26th in 2005. “We’ve just been running really good this year,” DeYoung explained. “I’ve got a lot of good help and that made it easier to come out.” The winner of Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational qualifying events at both Crystal Motor Speedway and Tri-City Motor Speedway, he’s piloting a 2014 Harris ride this season. “We’ll see a lot of tech support from those people at Boone,” said DeYoung. When he returns to Michigan, he’ll try to wrap up another track championship at Crystal and then set his sights on the $3,000 top prize at the Great Lakes Nationals. * Another veteran returning to Boone Speedway is Regan Tafoya, who makes his 10th consecutive tow from Farmington, N.M. Tafoya became the first New Mexico driver to make the Modified main event in 2006, finishing 19th. “I made the show the first year and I’ve been trying to get back in it [Read More]

Holm handles Hobby Stock competition in Super Nationals qualifying

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 6) – After being challenged early for the lead, Trevor Holm ran away with the Tuesday qualifying feature for IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks at Boone Speedway. As a result, he’ll start on the front of the outside row in Saturday’s IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals main event. Holm dueled with Jason Kohl, who pulled into the infield, then returned and restarted at the back of the field. Second-running Justin Luinenburg retired on lap 18 and two-time and defending champion Jason Wilkinson exited from a transfer spot and followed him to the pits on the next circuit. Solomon Bennett, Matt White, Andrew Bertsch, Jeff Ware, TeJay Mielke, Andrew Borchardt and Bill Bonnett followed Holm across the finish line and will line up in that order behind him on Saturday. Holm is in the big show for the second time and Bonnett counts the 1998 championship among his nine previous Super Nationals appearances; the other six drivers start their first Saturday show. Justin Wacha was disqualified in post-race tech. Last-chance qualifying on [Read More]

Barnes is champion on record-setting night for Sport Compacts at Super Nationals

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 6) – Joshua Barnes put on a clinic on racing in lapped traffic Tuesday night at Boone Speedway. Then the champagne flowed as Barnes and his crew celebrated winning the Mach-1 Sport Compact championship at the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s. Barnes started on the pole and led all 25 circuits of a main event that ran caution-free. He was running with lapped cars by midway and negotiated traffic the last 12 times around the track with Mitch Bolton and Kimberly Abbott close behind. “We worked hard just getting better after finishing second at Super Nationals last year,” said Barnes, whose $335 win included the Speedway Motors Weekly Racing bonus. “We wanted to get better and there’s only one way to do that. We race against a lot of good drivers and there were a lot of them here tonight.” A Super Nationals record 84 Sport Compacts, from eight states, competed Tuesday. That’s 20 more than the previous mark. Bolton, Abbott and Ramsey Meyer completed the top four. Defending [Read More]
