Indee Ultimate Stats Blitz - I.M.C.A. Modifieds

The I.M.C.A. Modified division was added as a regular weekly division at Independence in 1983. It's 27-year history is included below. As always, a statistical breakdown of the division's history will follow.

1983
Jack Mitchell holds the distinction of being the division's first feature winner on May 21, 1983, after rain postponed the scheduled season opener. Mitchell collected six wins that season, including separate stretches where he won back-to-back features, as well as three straight on another occasion. Mitchell was also victorious on season championship night to lock up the first division title at the speedway. Other winners that first year included Tom Fitzpatrick and Mike Krall, who earned two wins each, and one-timers Todd Jensen, John Light and Dick Feckers during the 13-week season.

1984
Mitchell continued his dominance into 1984 as he collected 10 feature wins in the 14 events. His 10 victories remain a record today. Mike Krall again scored two wins that season. The only other drivers to see victory lane in 1984 were "Swervy" Merv Chandler and Ron Little. After Krall won the season opener, Mitchell won in week two. Later in the season, he strung together three straight wins before winning the final six features of the season. He remains the only driver in division history at Independence to string together six straight victories. Mitchell repeated as the track champion.

1985
Things changed in 1985 when eight different drivers were victorious during the 17-week season, including five straight different winners to open the season. Fitzpatrick scored the first win of the season followed by wins by Kenny Hoeppner, Dennis Fink, Mike Schulte and Light. Timm Jensen and Ron Becker also scored wins that season, but it was Duane Van Deest who got hot just prior to mid-season. Van Deest earned five victories over the final nine nights, including winning the last three features of the season, on the way to his first division crown. Fink, Schulte and Light all nabbed second victories that year.

1986
Not only did Greg Kastli spend 1986 in a Modified, he spent a majority of it in Modified victory lane. Kastli collected eight wins in 17 nights on his way to the track championship. Kastli jumped out of the gate to win six times in the first eight nights, including separate streaks of two and three wins. He earned two additional victories in the second half of the season to wrap up the title. Kevin Pittman was the only other multi-race winner that season; he earned two wins. Light, Tom Bartholomew, Todd McCombs, Mitchell and Van Deest rounded out the list of winners. Van Deest took his win on championship night.

1987
Todd Jensen opened 1987 with the first of his two feature wins that season before Mark Noble won three straight on May 9, 16 and 23. Noble proceeded to take four more wins that season to drive to the track title. Noble earned mid-season and season championship feature wins. Other winners that year included Light, who scored two wins, Bartholomew and Ron Barker. Kevin Pittman scored back-to-back wins in June.

1988
Craig Haupt opened the season with back-to-back wins in 1988. He scored three more wins that year, including championship night, to drive to the points title. Seven other drivers also found the winner's circle that season, including multi-race winners Bartholomew, Van Deest, Barker Todd Jensen and Larry Schmidt, each of whom scored two trips to victory lane. Mitchell also picked up a victory and Ed Thomas scored the first win of his career on August 20.

1989
Pittman, Larry Engen and Doug Hillson scored wins to open 1989 before Barker went back-to-back in weeks four and five. After Barker's victory, Tom Bartholomew scored the first of his four wins that season to drive to the division title. Mike Sampson scored his first Mod win at Indee during mid-season championships on June 24 while Deon Turner made his first-ever trip to victory lane the following Saturday. Other race winners included Denny Ansel, Haupt and Merlin Benning. Barker won on championship night. Bartholomew won the title by 68 points ahead of Barker. Timm Jensen, Sampson and Van Deest completed the top five. Thomas, Turner, Pittman, Haupt and Schmidt completed the top 10.

1990
Bartholomew continued his winning ways in 1990 as he picked up his second straight division title. He earned five wins that year to lead all drivers, including season championship night, to take the crown in the rain-shortened 12-week season. John Irwin scored the opening night win to lead off the season with five straight different feature winners. Bartholomew, Pittman and Turner were victorious during the first four weeks before Arlo Becker scored his only division win in Independence on June 30. Van Deest was the only other winner that season. Pittman scored three wins that season to stay close; he finished around 10 points out of the lead in the final standings. Van Deest, Turner, Todd Jensen, Dave Bentley, Ron Hurst, Tom Fitzpatrick, Timm Jensen, Larry Schmidt, Ron Kruger and Thomas were among the top 12 in 1990.

1991
Bartholomew became the first driver to win three straight titles as he scored five wins en route to the 1991 division crown. Sampson won three features that season, all in a span of four weeks, while two-time winner Schmidt was the only other multi-race winner. Van Deest, Timm Jensen, Turner, Todd Jensen, Benning and Hurst completed the list of winners. Bartholomew took a two point lead into championship night and secured the title with a feature win.

1992
The season was the first of three straight that saw double-digits in number of feature winners. In all, 10 different drivers earned victories in 1992 led by Turner's opening night triumph. Bentley scored a pair of victories in the month of May. Bartholomew led all drivers with three wins that season on the way to his fourth straight division title. Timm Jensen, Turner, Thomas, Dan Bohr and Bentley were among the two-time winners while Van Deest, Light and Schmidt were one-time winners. Owen Grube scored his first Independence win in 1992 on August 22 during the make-up feature from the rain-shortened July 25 show. Bartholomew, the championship night feature winner, scored a narrow victory over Turner in the final standings. Todd Jensen, Grube and Benning completed the top five.

1993
In one of the most memorable feature events in my lifetime, Tim Donlinger scored the opening night feature win in 1993 after coming from the back of the pack in the waning laps to nip Steve Droste. In a rain-shortened, 11 week season, an astonishing 10 different drivers found victory lane. Jamie Aikey, with wins on May 29 and August 2, was the only two-time winner. It was also the first time in the division's 11 year history that there were no back-to-back winners. Other victors that season included Kevin Schroeder, Van Deest, Buck Swanson, Garry Stuber, Droste (during mid-season), Jim Abben and Grube (on championship night). On June 5 of that year, Darin Duffy drove to his first career victory in the Modified division (more on him later). While the winners list was varied, the points championship was determined before championship night as Owen Grube walked away with the title. He beat both Stuber and Droste by a 56 point margin in the final standings. Todd Jensen ran fourth while Turner, Benning and Tim Heins all tied for fifth. Van Deest, Schmidt and Duffy completed the top 10 in the points race.

1994
The 1994 season produced the most feature winners in the history of the division at Independence, as 11 different drivers carried the checkers (back when they did that). It was also the second straight season that no driver produced back-to-back wins. The record of 11 winners still stands today. No driver earned more than two wins during the 15-week season, however four drivers walked away with a pair of wins. At the top of the list was points champion Steve Droste, who scored wins on July 16 and during season championships. Joining Droste in the two-win crowd were Timm Jensen, Bohr and Jeff Barkdoll. One-time winners included Van Deest, Grube, Sampson, Turner and Bartholomew. Scott Hogan earned his first win at the track on August 13 of that season while Jack Mitchell re-emerged from "racing reitrement" to wow the crowd with a win on July 23. Chasing Droste in the final standings were Van Deest (40 points out), Timm Jensen, Jerry Luloff and Bohr. Barkdoll, Todd Jensen, Turner, Grube and Hogan completed the top 10.

1995
While his two wins produced a 40-point victory margin in 1994, Droste took a different route to the 1995 championship. That year, Droste led all drivers with four victories, but edged two-time winner Barkdoll by just 18 points in the final standings. Corey Dripps scored his first Independence wins in 1995, taking the checkers on May 20 and June 10. Along with Barkdoll's back-to-back wins on June 17 and 24, Duffy and Droste each won consecutive features during the season. Barkdoll's two straight wins broke a streak of 32 consecutive races that no driver won back-to-back events. Duffy's 1995 mini-streak included a mid-season championship win while Droste's came over the final two weeks, including championship night. Hogan, Timm Jensen and Abben also scored wins. Duffy, Luloff and Turner completed the top five in the final standings while Hogan, Todd Jensen, Keith Pittman, Timm Jensen and Schmidt finished sixth through 10th.

1996
Droste won his third and final track title in 1996, holding off Luloff by nine points in the final standings, scoring a career-high six wins in the process. Droste won his six features during the first 10 weeks of the 15-week season to drive to the title. Dripps took two wins that year and Troy Cordes earned his first Modified win at Indee on June 29. He followed that up with another trip to victory lane on August 17. One-time winners that season included Thomas, Keith Pittman and Hogan. Luloff also won his first Modified feature that season on August 10. Dean Mahlstedt scored his lone Mod win on Indee soil on May 11. Behind Droste and Luloff in the final standings were Hogan, Duffy and Keith Pittman. Jerry King, Timm Jensen, Sampson, Dripps and Bartholomew completed the top 10.

1997
Hogan broke through in 1997 to score his first track championship at Independence. Hogan scored a pair of wins on his way to the title in the 19-week season, the only complete season without a rainout in Independence history. Former Street Stock and Pro Stock champion Vern Jackson entered the Modified ranks in a big way by leading the Modifieds (along with Keith Pittman) with four feature wins that season. Jackson's first win in a Modified came on May 24 as he was one of six consecutive different drivers to open the year in victory lane. Other winners during that stretch included Travis Heyer (opening night winner), Hogan, Dripps, Sampson and Keith Pittman. Pittman ended the string of different winners in a big way as he won his four features that year in a five week span. Heyer ended the season with three wins overall while Dripps had two. One-time winners included Sampson, Luloff, Duffy and Tim McBride, who made his first trip to victory lane on August 2. Duffy was the championship night winner. Hogan beat Jensen by 43 points in the final standings. Duffy, Sampson and King rounded out the top five while Dave Stricker, Jackson, Cordes, Thomas and Keith Pittman completed the top 10.

1998
Hogan used consistency to earn his second straight track title in 1998. He did so without a feature win and holding off championship night winner Duffy by 10 points in the final standings. Duffy stayed close to Hogan throughout the season by virtue of his division-leading five feature wins. Duffy became the first driver since Mark Noble in 1987 to win three consecutive features (July 4, 11 and 18). Among the other nine winners that season were McBride, who scored four feature wins, and Jackson, who won twice. The list of single-race winners was comprised of Cordes, Luloff, Timm Jensen, Garry Stuber, Jerry King and Kevin Peverill. Chasing Hogan and Duffy closely in the final standings was Luloff, who finished 18 points behind Hogan. Jackson ran fourth, just nine points behind Luloff. Sampson ran fifth with Cordes, Timm Jensen, Tim McBride, Thomas and Heyer completing the top 10.

1999
Despite eight feature wins by Duffy, Luloff drove to his first track championship in 1999. Luloff scored a career high three wins that season, including season championship night, to take the title. During Duffy's eight-win season, he strung together two separate back-to-back win streaks and another three-in-a-row streak late in the season. The six other drivers who notched wins that year included Thomas, Sampson, Stuber, Peverill, Randy Trefz and Ken Irvine, who had a limited stay in the Modified division. In the final standings, Luloff topped Duffy by 20 points with Sampson, Jensen and Thomas completing the top five. Doug Firgard, Peverill, Brett McGill, Trefz and McBride rounded out the top 10.

2000
Jerry Luloff drove to his second consecutive track title in 2000 after posting one feature win on May 20. Duffy and Cordes won a majority of the 14 features that season as each posted four wins. Luloff's consistency, however, paid off as he finished in the top 10 all 14 nights with an average finish of 3.57 throughout the course of the season. For the second consecutive year, Duffy was the only driver to score consecutive wins as he strung three straight wins together late in the year. Two of the wins earned by Cordes came on mid-season and season championship nights. Stuber, with two wins, was the only other driver to earn multiple victories. Along with Luloff, other single-race winners were Jackson, Thomas and McBride. Luloff beat Duffy by 21 in the final standings with Jackson 27 points behind in third. Cordes and Sampson completed the top five. Timm Jensen, King, McBride, Firgard and Terry Johnson ran sixth through 10th.

2001
This season was the only time in history at Independence that the division produced co-champions after Duffy and Luloff tied with 456 points at season's end. Coincidentally, it was also the first time in track history that season championship night was rained out. The reschedule date was also rained out. At the time, I.M.C.A. did not break ties at the track level so the drivers shared title honors. Duffy led all drivers with three wins that year. His back-to-back wins on May 12 and May 19 made him the only driver in over three seasons to score consecutive wins in the division at the speedway. Luloff, Jackson, Joey Schaefer and Trefz pocketed two wins apiece that year, while McBride and Richard Von Krog each took home a win. The season ended with seven consecutive different winners. Following Duffy and Luloff in the points were King, Jackson, Cordes, Timm Jensen, Schaefer, Stricker, Thomas and Trefz.

2002
Nine different drivers earned wins during the 15-week 2002 season with Jackson leading the way with four victories. Cordes used three feature wins to drive to his first division title, by a margin of 10 points ahead of Luloff. Duffy was the only other multiple winner as he scored two victories in his final season in a Modified before moving to the Late Models for a few seasons. Luloff, Hogan, Schaefer and King each scored wins, as well, while Max Corporon and Ben Metcalf earned their first Modified wins at Indee that season. Cordes scored the win on mid-season championship night, the second of two straight wins, breaking Duffy's three year streak of being the only driver with back-to-back wins. Luloff earned his victory on championship night. Following Cordes and Luloff in the final points were Jackson, Schaefer and Ed Thomas. Timm Jensen, Clayton Thomas, Mike Gill, Dave Stricker and Hogan completed the top 10.

2003
The 2003 season marked the last time a double-digit number of winners scored wins. In all, 10 drivers earned trips to victory lane that season. In fact, Jackson was the only driver to earn more than one win throughout the first nine weeks of the season. Along with Jackson, winners during that span included three races in four weeks that resulted in first wins for a trio of drivers. Don Erger (May 24), Dennis Betzer (June 14) and Tom Hanson (mid-season championships on June 21) earned their first Indee Mod wins. A few weeks later, on July 19, J.D. Auringer added his name to the list of first-time winners. Overall, Jackson and Cordes earned three wins apiece while Luloff and Hogan won two each. Timm Jensen and Turner were also victorious that year. For Jensen and Turner, the wins served as their final victories to date. Hogan, five years removed from his last title, took home his third track championship that season, 14 points ahead of Luloff. Cordes, Jackson and Erger ran third through fifth. Gill, Todd Jensen, Ed Thomas, Stricker and Clayton Thomas rounded out the top 10.

2004
Jackson scored a career high six feature wins to drive to his first division championship in 2004. He held off Hogan by 15 points in the final standings to take the crown. Following Hogan's opening night win, the two drivers alternated wins throughout the first five weeks of the season before Shawn Fisher earned his first career win during mid-season championships on June 19. Hogan finished the year with three wins while Luloff and Schaefer earned two each. Along with Fisher, Troy Cordes scored one win on the season. The six winners in 2004 were the fewest since 1990 when the number of winners was six, as well. It remains the fewest number of winners in a season in the last 20 years. While Jackson won the title and Hogan finished second, Luloff finished a close third, just one point behind Hogan. Cordes ran fourth. Those four drivers dominated the season - in 13 separate weeks, at least three of them finished in the top five of the week's feature. Stricker, Brian Krall, Jason Snyder, Fisher, Heyer and Trefz completed the top 10.

2005
Luloff used 10 top-3 finishes in 1995 to drive to his fourth track title. The winner of two features that season, Luloff held off Cordes to win the championship by four points. Cordes was the winner of three features that season while Jackson drove to five wins, including championship night honors. Schaefer completed the list of multi-race winners with three trips to victory lane. Stuber also picked up a win that season while Jason Snyder earned the first victory of his career on July 16. Jackson ran third in the final standings ahead of Snyder and Ed Thomas. Krall, Erger, Clayton Thomas, Schaefer and Adam Johnson rounded out the top 10.

2006
Despite no wins in 2006, Luloff's consistency paid off once more as his division-leading 10 top-5 finishes during the 14-week season launched him to an unprecedented fifth division title. Cordes scored six wins that season, however failing to qualify for two feature events killed his title hopes. Auringer, who scored one win, ran second in the final standings, just five points behind Luloff. Jackson earned two wins that season, along with Snyder who won on opening night and during mid-season championships. Other winners included Ed Thomas, Erger and Adam Bolin. Patrick Flannagan claimed (yes, that was intentional) fourth place in the final standings and Jackson ran fifth. His two wins broke the tie with Hogan, who ended the season sixth. Snyder, Betzer, Gill and Timm Jensen completed the top 10.

2007
Luloff and Auringer engaged in another tight points battle in 2007, however this time it was Auringer who came away with the title by a single point over veteran Luloff. Auringer scored the opening night win, was victorious during mid-season championships, then added back-to-back wins late in the season to keep himself in the hunt. Luloff won a pair of features early in the season and let his consistency again keep in him contention as he reeled off 13 consecutive top-10 finishes to start the season. All but two were top-5s and those two were sixth place finishes. The leaders entered championship night tied at the top with Auringer finishing third and Luloff fourth in the finale to lift Auringer to the title. Jackson, Cordes and Adam Johnson each scored two wins while Corporon, Bolin and Brett Ladehoff also posted victories. Jackson ran third in the final standings ahead of Cordes and Corporon. Johnson, Flannagan, Johnathan Thimmesch, Hogan and Trefz rounded out the top 10.

2008
The storm-shortened, nine week season still resulted in seven different winners in 2008. Following his championship night victory the season before, Jackson opened 2008 in victory lane, as well. Six straight different drivers opened the abbreviated season in victory lane. Flannagan, Thimmesch, Johnson and Tony Olson also posted wins before Corporon won consecutive features on August 2 and 9. Luloff scored his lone win the following week before Thimmesch earned the championship night victory. When the dust settled, Cordes earned division championship honors, his second title. It is the only season in the last eight years Cordes hasn't won a feature. Jackson finished second in the final standings, just three points out. Thimmesch ran third, 13 points behind Cordes. Luloff and Flannagan ran fourth and fifth. Johnson, Haupt, Betzer, Olson and Jeff Kriz completed the top 10.

2009
Duffy returned to I.M.C.A. Modified racing in a big way in 2009 and earned his first outright division title in one of the most dominant Modified performances in years. His seven wins in the 14-week season were the most by any Modified driver since 1999 when Duffy posted eight victories. Along with two separate two-race win streaks during the season, Duffy won on championship night to take the title by 50 points over Cordes. The 2009 season championship feature was a milestone event for a couple of reasons. Not only was it the 400th Modified feature at Independence, but Duffy's win moved him past Jackson and into sole possession of first place on the career Modified wins list at Independence. Duffy was the only driver to win multiple features in 2009 as Cordes, Luloff, Corporon, Snyder and Erger posted single wins. Cory Bauer (June 6) and Ronn Lauritzen (August 22) scored their first career Modified wins that season. Lauritzen became the 75th different driver to score a Modified win at the track. Luloff ran third in the final standings while Justin O'Brien and Corporon ran fourth and fifth, respectively. Thimmesch, Lauritzen, Ray Lundry, Snyder and Olson completed the top 10.

That completes the history of the Modifieds at Independence. Only the Late Models remain, however I don't plan to have that information posted until sometime next week. While I have the winners for all of the races, I haven't had a chance to enter any statistics outside of the career wins list. I can share with you what everyone already knows in regard to that - Curt Martin is, by far, the leader in that category. Look for complete Late Model recaps and stats by (hopefully) sometime next week.
