Logue becomes 30th driver to notch 100 career IMCA Modified wins
By Bill Haglund

BOONE, IA (April 4) – John Logue stole the show on a chilly, windy Saturday night at Boone Speedway, becoming the 30th driver in history to amass 100 career feature wins in the IMCA Modified division.

While Adam Larson and Benji LaCrosse battled it out at the front of the Super Nationals Shakedown main event, Logue steadily worked his way into contention from several rows back in the starting grid. The front pair was often side-by-side in the 20-lap main event while Logue settled into third in the race’s late stages.

Logue, like the others, preferred the low line through the turns, but Larson and LaCrosse were there. With just three laps to go, Logue drove to the high side, found a bite, and finally took the lead as the trio of cars came to the white flag.

“Sure, I wanted the bottom,” Logue said afterward. “But it wasn’t there. I didn’t have any choice but to go up top.”

It worked, and Logue joined an impressive list of drivers who have accomplished the milestone 100-win mark. The victory paid $1,000 and landed Logue on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational.

He finished ahead of LaCrosse, a late-charging Nate Caruth, Larson and Steve Glenn.

Other winners at the inaugural special included Jeremy Embrey in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods, Trent Murphy in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature and Michael Leffler in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock main event.

Embrey had a relative easy time of it in posting the SportMod 18-lap victory as he was comfortably out front of Kevin Sather, Brett Moffitt, defending national champion Luke Wanninger and Brad Lautenbach at the finish.

Murphy took the Stock Car feature ahead of Wayne Gifford, John Heinz, Michael Jeannette and Mike VanGenderen.
Leffler won the Hobby Stock feature with another last-lap pass.

The regular points season kicks off at Boone Speedway next Saturday night, April 11.
