More than 2,000 race fans packed the stands Friday night at the Kansas State Fairgrounds’ historic half-mile oval, as Saltcity Racing delivered another adrenaline-filled evening of IMCA competition.
The highlight of the night came when Hutchinson’s own Jayce Reimer claimed yet another first-place finish in the #775 IMCA Stock Car. After 15 hard-fought laps, Reimer once again proved why he’s a fan favorite, holding off a fast field to take the win on his home track.
In the IMCA Modifieds, the race was tight from start to finish, with drivers trading paint and positions throughout the feature. But when the checkered flag waved, it was Tim Hamilton of Lindsay, Oklahoma, who emerged victorious, earning a first-place feature win and the roar of the crowd.
The night also saw big wins in two other IMCA classes.
Warren Huffman of Salina, Kansas, came out on top in the Northern SportMod feature, showcasing speed and consistency to capture the win. Meanwhile, in the Hobby Stock division, Cody Williams of Minneapolis, Kansas, battled through a competitive field to secure first place.
The evening marked another successful night of grassroots racing in Hutchinson, where local talent and regional standouts alike delivered edge-of-your-seat action.
