Boone Speedway kept its perfect record going for consecutive regular scheduled race nights this year, plus the early Spring Frostbuster...seventeen in all. Quite remarkable considering all the rain Iowa has endured. Saturday night saw 145 cars fill the pits and a full grandstand on hand to witness the exciting racing.
Dusty Masolini wove through lap traffic perfectly and took the Dwarf/Mod Lite feature. Tim Hennigar came from starting 23rd on the field, to capture the runner-up position. Josh May was third, Mike Kennedy got fourth and fifth was Randy Bryan.
The IMCA Northern SportMods had 33 cars check in, requiring a B Main to fill out their 24-car A Main feature. Randy Roberts put his #3R to the front right away and kept it there to take the win. A couple of restart situations didn't deter his keeping the lead ahead of second place finisher Jared Timmerman. Eric Elliott had a nice run to take third and following him in fourth was point leader Scott Davis. Jeremy Embrey rounded out the top five.
Young Joel Bushore showed composure in winning the IMCA Modified feature--his second win of the year at the track. Bushore led the entire race, hitting his mark each time to fend off the competition. Bill Davis, Jr. took second in what appeared to be a new car, Scott Baker was third, holding off fourth place finisher, Randy Havlik and fifth place of Jake Durbin.
The Class too Tough to Tame, the IMCA Stock Cars found the bright white and green #12 of Bryan Trogdon in the winner's circle for the third time this season. He fought past earlier front runners Ryan Rose and Josh Brauckman to take the lead by lap eight of the 18-lap feature. Cars were running three-wide at times, making for some tight situations and great racing action for the fans. Following Trogdon to take second was Brauckman and in third place, Ryan Rose. Point leader Donavon Smith crossed in fourth place and fifth went to Trent Murphy.
Two A features were held for the Hobby Stocks. In the first main, Scott Lograsso went from ninth to first in seven laps. On lap 10 of the 12-lap feature, a scary moment occured when the 38R of Aaron Rudolph rose on it's nose right at the flagstand. An alert Nick Breuklander dashed from his flagstand, and then quickly returned to throw the red flag as Rudolph landed on the frontstretch. It appeared Nick caught a flying spring on the shoulder but his quick action may have avoided much worse. This was just one example of the repeated warning of why spectators need to keep their distance from the fence area during races. It was a green-white-checkered situation on the restart then and on the final lap, it was Michael Murphy making the move around Lograsso to take the win. Third place was Chris Hupp, fourth went to Darin Rothfus and fifth to Cody Gustoff.
The second Hobby Stock feature completed the night's racing. "Judd" Justin Maschke sat on the pole position and liked that spot as he led it flag to flag. Pat Mather fought through the pack to take second place, Travis Fenton was third, fourth went to Richard Yaw II and fifth went to timeless Larry Embrey.
We plan to attend the upcoming Wednesday night show at the Knoxville Speedway when the rescheduled IMCA SportMods and Deery Brother Late Models come to town....their portion of the Harris Clash.
