IMCA sport modifieds: This is an affordable open wheel division designed to help drivers get behind the wheel with minimum expense. The cars have a crate engine program, are nationally sanctioned by IMCA and race on tracks throughout the United States. IMCA modifieds: Nationally sanctioned, this open wheel class competes throughout the state. The minimum wheelbase on these cars is 108 inches, and they may not have wings or spoilers. Late models: The fastest cars on the track, these late models are governed by rules that have been crafted to allow cars from several sanctions to compete together at the Shawano Speedway. IMCA stock cars: Nationally sanctioned, this division is designed as affordable for drivers and teams. The division allows for minor modifications to the chassis and engines. Mighty 4s: This economical class for anyone who has the urge to run on the dirt features 4-cylinder front-wheel drive cars. Jeffery Teske won the IMCA sport modifieds championship in 2024. Other title winners were: Jordan Barkholtz, late models; Jordan Bartz, IMCA modifieds; Trent Nolan, IMCA stock cars; and Dalton Nelson, Mighty 4s.
