Hawkeye Downs half-mile while Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars, Barron

holding a three point edge over defending champion Tim Plummer. Ryan Luedtke
and Arlo Becker are tied for third while Steve Lindell is in fifth.
In Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars, Kurt Bohnsack holds a narrow
three-point cushion over Cory Houdek. Bob Ahrensdsen is third with Brian
Beaty and Dave Ballstaedt rounding out the top five.
Scott Siems continues to lead the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks but
Nathan Ballard has been closing in over the past few weeks and is just four
points off the lead. Roland Bohnsack is third, Duayne Herb is next in
fourth, and Jeremy Robbins is fifth.
Scott Kositzky continues to lead the IMCA Northern SportMods and has an
eight-point margin over Blake Carson. Ken Kositzky, Creston Williams, and
Tim Dains make up the rest of the top five.
While exact points are not released, Nathan Chandler sits atop the Sunline
