By Jerry Mackey TIPTON, Iowa (Apr. 12, 2025) — Drew Janssen added another major win to his résumé by capturing the $1,500 to win Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature during the “Spring Fling” at Cedar County Raceway. The 25-lapper featured a stacked field of Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s, National, and multi-time track champions. Austin Stamm, aboard the Timmy and Marsha Current provided No. 12T, and Dylan Thornton led early until Janssen, driving the Danny Meier and Trent Guest-owned No. 127, took over on lap 5. The Pella pilot controlled the pace from there, only briefly threatened following a late-race caution. On the restart, local standout Ben Chapman charged low and crossed the line in second, while 10th-starting Jeff Larson guided the P.J. Kostenbader-fielded No. B1 to a third-place finish. The win marked Janssen’s second of the season in the Razor Chassis North Central Region.

By Ben Deatherage KENNEDALE, Texas (Apr. 12, 2025) — Cameron Cook powered to his second win of the season in the Sunoco IMCA Stock Car feature at Kennedale Speedway Park, holding off late challenges in a 20-lap barnburner. Christian Miller took the early lead before Damon Hammond slipped under him to lead lap 3. Cook, however, surged down the backstretch and used the top groove to edge past Hammond and take command the next time around the ¼-mile oval. Hammond, the defending KSP title winner, and Cook, the 2022 Texas State champion, both looked strong before cautions on laps eight and ten reset the field. That opened the door for Brett McMillin and Jerrett Bransom to take charge of podium positions. Bransom, a three-time KSP Stock Car champ, made a series of bids to pass Cook using the bottom groove. Each time, Cook’s momentum off the top held strong. On the final lap, Bransom tried one last move, but Cook again held firm. The 24-year-old from Mansfield picked up his second win of the season in [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage STUART, Iowa (Apr. 13, 2025) — The Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds headlined the 64th season opener at Stuart Speedway, and Norwalk’s Todd Shute powered to victory in the 20-lap feature. California transplant Trevor Fitz jumped out to the early lead and held back two-time defending national champion Chaz Baca Jr. of Arizona during the opening laps. A lap seven restart brought new challengers, as Shute and Tanner Black joined the fray. Shute, the 2007 Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s winner and three-time defending Stuart track titlist, made a decisive move on lap 11 to edge out Fitz at the line. A couple of mid-race cautions couldn’t slow him down, and Shute dominated the closing circuits to collect his second Razor Chassis North Central Region win of the season. Fitz held on to finish second, while 2019 Arizona State champion Kelsie Black, wife of Tanner, completed the podium in third.

By Don Hawkins HARLAN, Iowa (Apr. 12, 2025) — The Sunoco IMCA Late Models were on tap at Shelby County Speedway’s Igloo 25 with a $1,000-to-win main event, and it was 20-year-old Jarrett Getzschman who made headlines at the drop of the checkered flag. The Council Bluffs racer took full advantage of a front row starting spot and looked composed throughout the feature. After grabbing the lead near the halfway point, Getzschman held off a charging field of veterans to score his first-ever IMCA Late Model victory. Brett Hopp made a last-lap bid but had to settle for second, while Nebraskan Kale Kosiski rounded out the podium in third. Greenwood Leads Every Lap for Sprint Car Score Jake Greenwood dominated the RaceSaver IMCA Sprint Car main, leading every lap of the $1,000-to-win affair despite several stoppages—including a couple of red flags for flips. The 26-year-old from Woodward never wavered, even with South Dakota’s Less Goos Jr. charging from 10th to second late in the contest. It was Greenwood’s first win of the 2025 season.

By Ben Deatherage MERCED, Calif. (Apr. 12, 2025) — Bobby Hogge wasted no time taking command when the 25-lap Friesen Performance IMCA Modified feature got up to speed Saturday night at Merced Speedway. The 2020 California Speedweek titleholder from Salinas, wheeled the Paul Guglielmoni-owned entry into the lead early, then maintained his edge through traffic and restarts. A caution on lap seven temporarily slowed the field, but once green flag racing resumed, Hogge stayed committed to the low line while the two-defending track champion Jim Pettit II and two-time Bakersfield Speedway titlist Gavyn Manning battled for second. Manning eventually cleared Pettit and began to close in on Hogge, testing the high groove to mount a challenge. With three laps to go, both drivers worked through heavy traffic, but Hogge made the right moves at the right time and held off Manning for the win. It marked Hogge’s second victory of the season in the Shaw Race Cars Western Region and his first triumph at Merced in 2025. Manning settled for a close runner-up finish, while Josh [Read More]

By Ben Deatherage BOONE, Iowa (Apr. 12, 2025) —Eighteen-year-old Izac Mallicoat thrilled his hometown crowd at the 2025 Boone Speedway season opener, scoring his first Friesen Performance IMCA Modified win of the campaign Saturday night. Mallicoat took off from the green and built a comfortable lead in the 20-lap caution-free main event. Meanwhile, 2007 IMCA Super Nationals champion Todd Shute slotted into second and tried to keep pace. The battle for second intensified as Jeremy Mills, an eight-time track title winner at Hancock County Raceway, applied pressure on Shute. Mills eventually worked his way into the runner-up spot on lap 14. Despite dealing with lapped traffic in the closing laps, Mallicoat never missed a beat, crossing the line with a healthy advantage. It marked his first victory in Razor Chassis North Central Region action in 2025. Mills was second and Shute held strong for third.

By Ben Deatherage ELM MOTT, Texas (Apr. 11, 2025) – Waxahachie’s Dylan Moss raced to his first career Sunoco IMCA Stock Car victory Friday night at Heart O’ Texas Speedway in EQ Cylinder Heads Southern Region competition at the 1/4-mile oval. Five-time Heart O’ Texas titleholder Jason Batt jumped to the lead at the start of the 20-lap main event and appeared poised to pick up another win. Moss kept Batt within striking distance, stalking the leader for several laps while defending HOT champion Paul White fended off challenges from 2022 track titlist Dustin Mooney and three-time EQ Cylinder Heads Southern Region kingpin Westin Abbey. Batt encountered heavy traffic with six laps remaining, and on lap 15, was collected by a lapped car, bringing out a caution and ending his tenure at the front. That handed the lead to Moss, who capitalized on the opportunity with a flawless restart. White claimed second, and Mooney secured third after a hard-fought battle with Abbey.
