    95A Speedway: Matt Ramthun, Pro Stock winner.

    Even the moon wasn’t full it was a very different night of racing but the drivers rose to the occasion.   FERNLEY (July 16) – 95A Speedway had an odd night this weekend. While the car count was low those drivers in attendance put on a pretty good show, even if most of the races were runaways. “With the car count being so low it was disappointing that we didn’t have any more cars than we had tonight. We wish there had been more but that’s the way it is,” Cory Sample said after winning the IMCA main. Then he

    95A Speedway has another night of hard racing as points are becoming very important plus one race that has an extra bonus for the winner.   This week’s races at the 95A Speedway have many incentives for drivers as one was trying to score his first victory of the year, after a winning season last year. And another was trying to win the last race for some bonus money so it made for some Saturday Night Thunder. “The race wasn’t bad, we could pass high, low or where ever we needed to be,” Cory Sample said after winning the IMCA

    Lovelock Speedway - IMCA winner Zane DeVilbiss

    Lovelock Speedway second night for its Frontier Days races. Same speed, less dust and close finishes. LOVELOCK (Aug. 1): The second night of the Frontier Races at the Lovelock Speedway had a bit better weather than the previous night.

The officials decided to streamline things a bit so there would not be a B main or LCQ for the modifieds. Instead they’d start 23 cars after the scoring

Over 100 racers were on hand and Sunday afternoon ended with the IMCA Modified feature that closed the track’s year.   And the California driver that won was actually using the race to shake down a new motor. A decision that turned out to be profitable as he collected the winner’s prize. “We’re down here testing this crate for Vegas, so I think we picked the right track to do that,” Paul Stone said after post race tech. “It’s the
