Although anything can happen, the battle will be focused on the runner up position as Riley Raynard trails Landon Runge by a mere 2 points. Rookie standout Riese Dignan is sitting 4th overall with 180 points and Kiana Stepp rounds out the top 5 with 179 points.
IMCA Stock Cars
IMCA Stock Cars points leader Jeremy Swanson has been on fire all season, his average finish has been 2.0! Jeremy isĀ holding onto a 12 point advantage over reigning champion Jordan Durward and Chris Hortness who are tied for second place with 222 points. Highly decorated veteran Joren Boyce, who is competing in his 30th year of racing, is tied with 2013 track champion Gregg Mann for 4th with 215 points.

Only 4 points separate the top 3 positions in the 2016 track champion points race.

The 2015 IMCA Super Nationals Modified Feature pole sitter “Mad” Mike Hagen sits three points back with 214 points. Riley Emmel is the only IMCA Modified driver in the top 5 points to registerĀ a feature win, and also the only modified driverĀ at all to registerĀ multipleĀ feature wins in 2016, sits 3rd overall with 213 points.

August 6th Hard Chargers…
Brothers Leevi and Landon Runge not only finished 1st and 2nd in the High Energy Performance IMCA Hobby Stock feature on August 6th, they also tied for the Hard Charger award. Landon would win the race from the 10th spot, and Leevi claimed 2nd place from 11th. The brothers will split the $50 hard charge award courtesy of Rocky’s Race Engines. Pictured Landon Runge.Ā
Jeremy Swanson would follow Landon Runge’s lead. He would not only claim the victory in the IMCA Stock Car division, but also claim the Hard Charger award courtesy of Rocky’s Race Engines. Jeremy earned himself a crisp $50 bill for his effort which seen him move to the 1st position from 6th row outside.
“Mad” Mike Hagen was looking sharp, on and off the track in his brand new ride. He would earn himself the $50 Hard Charger award on August 6th, courtesy of Rocky’s Race Engines. Mike would start 7th row inside and wind up finishing 4th in the Kendall’s Supply IMCA Modified feature.
Mike Balcaen had himself a roller coaster ride for the Fast 40 Wissota Late Model special event. After failing to make weight after a successful heat race, he would have to start at the back of the field in the feature. Throughout the 40 lap main event he would find himself battling for 1st at times, ultimately settling for 3rd on the field. Good enough to earn him the $50 Hard Charger award courtesy of Rocky’s Race Engines.
