Myers Racing

Myers Racing is an Iowa-based dirt track racing team made up of Tom Myers (Hobbystock #7) and son, Derek Myers (Stock Car #5)

10/08/2026

Final season update, Tom finished 2nd in the season points with 12 top 10s, 6 top 5s. Barely missing out in a last night deciding battle. Derek finished 7th in points with 7 top 10s, 4 top 5s, 3 DNFs and missing a full points night. Ventured to Eagle for two shows and another show at Dennison.

9/12 - Tom finished 3rd in the heat and 10th in the feature, hard to pass track.
- Derek finished 5th in the heat and went 12th to 5th in the feature.

Tradition results
- Tom went 6>4 in the heat, 2>1 in the B and was 19th to 14th in the feature before deciding to pull off at the half way pit stop (saving the car and his back)

- Derek went 5>3 in the heat getting absolutely run over, bending the left front spindle, both ball joints, upper A arm, tie rod, centerlink and even the shock mount put a wave in main tubing. Fixed the car (Thanks Matt & Brian and Nick for having parts I didn’t have on hand) once that happened, the clearly intentional run over for the invert was dished back in the next corner and regained the invert position to avoid the B.
- Started 19th in the feature, driving cautiously worked up to 12th. The rough track surface ultimately claimed the rf lower balljoint causing the frame to dig into the ground, car to spin and the left rear to dig in ending up on the roof again. Attempting to save the car and just survive didn’t pan out.

Want to thank track crews again for quick response and making sure I was alright. The crew in the pits for settling down the distraught baby girl and getting the car together enough for the trailer ride, and to my wife for supporting and staying strong when I do dumb s**t.

Feeling good about next year finally after struggling all season felt like the car came alive at the end and started going forward with the setup. Just a bit too late.

Derek is still on a boat in Mexico somewhere, so we didn’t have the stock car out tonight.

We took Tom’s car to the track not running and had to hope we could get it fixed when we got there.

Tom was in the 4th heat, where he started 2nd and got the Win! The car still wasn’t running right so we continued to work on it before the feature.

The Hobbystock feature was over an hour due to a lot of wrecks and a medical emergency in the stands. Tom started 7th, was able to avoid the wrecks and finish 6th. For tech they checked rev boxes and a go/no go check on carbs. It looks like everyone who made tech passed.

Next Saturday is championship night and the difference between 1st and 2nd in Hobbystocks is less than a handful of points. Tom is still in the running to clinch another Track Championship!

No hobby stocks, but stock cars got to run with the World of Outlaw Late Models last night.

Derek heat race update - The track was slimy, and car was tight. Could not go anywhere. The throttle unfortunately stuck after the finish, and had a baby roll over in turn 1.

Special thanks to the track safety crew for a quick response! All is good.

Big thanks to Brian and Matt for helping get the car ready in crunch time for the feature, and to Kiel for the tools to get us up and running. And to all the drivers, and others who checked in, it is much appreciated!

Derek feature update - the car still sucked, plowing tight and snapping loose. Went from 15th to 12th, and drove off the track. From there was able to go from 20th back to 13th.

Good luck to Tom for this next upcoming race. He’s going into this next weekend as the Hobby Stock points leader! Derek will not be racing.

Finally got to do some racing, shout out to the track, maybe the first time all year it’s truly been the best perfect surface. Smooth slick top to bottom without a one lane dominate high side. Bottom could have used a touch more grip but can’t complain, felt amazing to be out of the hammer down or one lane. Kuddos to that at least. Ride height, a 30 second check that most other track do weekly, was finally done and impacted finishes in the hobbies and stock cars. Why this isn’t regularly done, or why it was mass confusion with how to handle the calls when they actually happen, unknown.

Tom - heat race, started 3rd brought home the heat race win. For the feature both he and Heath rolled off front row and both ran a nearly mistake free race. Battled some challengers and ultimately came home p2, congrats to Heath on the win.

Derek - started 3rd in the heat, fell back to 5th drove back to 2nd, had a hot rod and ended up with ignition failure, dnf. For the feature, started p13, fought the car being tight and over driving the slick, need more seat time here as it’s very rare we get that luxury out there. Ended up struggling to pass and a group broke off. Stayed cool to keep the car together, got a caution and it was time to go. Drove up to finishing 5th, had to check up hard passing 4th as I got drove to the bottom, we collided and just didn’t quite beat him to the line. Official finishing p2 after illegal ride heights on the top 3 finish positions got sorted out days later.

ACS over this weekend:

Tom - Feature #1, 11th to 7th. Like everyone else, ran a little warm and once it got hot ended up with some carb issues.

Feature #2 swapped carbs and fought a loose exit ultimately brought the car home complete moving 8th to 4th

Derek - Feature #1 started pole had a solid start and turn 1-2 car felt great finally some articulation been fighting setup and bent components all season. On the exit of 2 got a gnarly vibration, oiled down the tires in 3-4 and had to pull off. Flexplate exploded and took out the oil filter and oil pan.

Feature 2, DNS. Flexplate may have been cracked from the starter issue at eagle.

Weekend update:

Dennison - started 8th finished 6th in the heat, 6th finished 5th in the feature. Corning gears in the car kept me too far down in the rpms and found timing off by a considerable amount. First time there, fun interesting track. One line in the heat somewhat racey in the feature pretty rough. Started figuring it out towards the end.

Went to Eagle raceway last night - starter exploded so missed the heat race. Got it fixed and ready to roll off p14 in the B. Pretty disappointed in the track surface, it was looking decent to me then the wrecked it for us trying to farm it. Ended up with a greasy bottom, dry slick rutted to p**s middle, and greasy top. Really crap shoot of a surface. Live timing isn’t accurate drove up and finished 5th one spot out of the invert. Car finally feels like it’s coming together thanks to everyone involved in the recent struggles. Scotty for fixing the rearend. Excited to see what I can do with a smooth track.
