IMCA racing action kicked off the 2024 Hancock County Fair grandstand events with the Black Dirt Nationals. Races were sponsored by Java 18 and Schleusner Dirt Works and featured trophies besting six foot tall!
Ethan Braaksma’s hot July continued with him dominating the Tuesday action. Winning the heat and main event, he collected $1000 for his efforts. He bested a charging Cody Knecht who came from the sixth starting spot to finish second. Kelly Shryock and Timoth Allerdings completed the top four.
Though Colby Fett pressured for the lead early in the IMCA Stock Cars, ninth starting Kelly Shryock ran away with the feature. Fett finished second in the race, ahead of Chad Palmer and Heath Tulp.
Alec Fett gave his older brother all he wanted in the early stages of the IMCA Northern SportMod main event. Alec faded before halfway and that opened the door for Colby to handily secure the win. Josh Appel was strong in second, finishing ahead of Nate Albrant and Alex Smith.
Drew Barglof was relatively comfortable leading the IMCA Hobby Stock main until a caution forced a late race restart. Barglof held off Josh Sidles, who started 14th, when the race returned to green. Brandon Nielsen and Steve Wickman rounded out the top four.
Kolby Goepel won his second feature of the year in the HCS Outlaw Hobby Stocks, besting Joshua Monson, Jake Blau and Drew Barglof.
Racing returns to the Hancock County Speedway Friday, August 2nd. Hot laps are at 7:00 p.m.
