BATESVILLE, Ark. (March 20-22) – Jeff Taylor’s North Dakota car is pretty fast in Arkansas, too. Taylor swept the three Mid-America Modified Championship features at Batesville Motor Speedway, earning $1,500 for each of his Thursday, Friday and Saturday IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified feature wins. “I’ve never won three nights in a row. I’ve won twice before but this is the first time I’ve ever done that,” said Taylor, new to the 2014 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot. “I had a really good race car all three nights and a lot of help getting it that way. It was a pretty neat deal all the way around.” The Taylor Chassis ride is one he’s raced previously in North Dakota. Marlyn Seidler brought it south. Taylor won from third starting Thursday and Saturday, and all the way from 21st on Friday. “That was probably the best I’ve ever been at this place,” he said of the Friday feature. “I had an awesome car.

Jordan Grabouski earned $2,000 for the Friday night IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified checkers.

Frontrunners were mixed up with lapped traffic before a caution with nine to go. Grabouski stayed in the fastest line from that point, racing across the stripe comfortably ahead of Murray, Jesse Sobbing, Dylan Smith and Brian Foote. Sobbing had started 11th.

BATESVILLE, Ark. (March 20) – There was no shortage of out-of-state talent on the track but opening night honors at Batesville Motor Speedway’s Mid-America Modified Championship belonged to a driver from fairly close to home. Jeff Taylor led the last four laps in topping the Thursday feature for IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modifieds. The $1,500 victory put him on the ballot for this September’s Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational.

Canyon success continues for Thornton at Copper on Dirt

By Lonnie Wheatley PEORIA, Ariz. (Feb. 28) – Ricky Thornton Jr. added another IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified triumph to his impressive early season total during the Friday Copper On Dirt program at Canyon Speedway Park. After winning four of six features in Winter Challenge Series action, Thornton picked up right where he left off by leading all the way to take the checkered flag ahead of reigning track champion Jason Noll. Thornton drew the pole start and jumped out to an immediate lead in the 25-lap feature.
