Boone Speedway was the site on Saturday night of the fourth leg of the five-night, five-track schedule of the Frostbuster series for 2012. Lady luck shone on the track AGAIN as many parts of the state were wet. We drove in rain until hitting Ames, and then three miles from the track, sunshine! It was an all Iowa driver's winning list for the series this time, though drivers from several states as well as Canada, were on hand to test their skills.
They ran the IMCA SportMod 20-lap feature first. Fifty-two cars ran the heats, with three B's being required to whittle the starting field to twenty-four cars. Winners of those consy races were Joey Kates out of Kansas, Tracy Wassenberg from Wisconsin, and Rocky Caudle, Iowa.
Nick Roberts shot to the lead from his pole position starting spot, and he never relinquised it. Roberts pulled away from the field, taking the victory. Joel Rust ran second, with Austin Luellen in third. Fourth went to Bryan LaRiviere out of Wichita, Kansas, who was the 2011 IMCA national champion in the division, and following in fifth spot was Wisconsin driver, Tracy Wassenberg, a former Super National's champion.
The IMCA A modified's were brought to the track next to run their 25-lap event. They also had 52 cars attempting to qualify tonight; running three consy races to complete their field. Those wins went to Nick Deal, Jeremy Christians, Wisconsin racer, and Mitch Morris from Elridge, Iowa. Mark Elliott and Denny Rosenberg started from the front row but it was a three-car battle for much of the race. Jay Noteboom, Jimmy Gustin, and Mark Elliott fought hard for positions, thrilling the fans with the close racing action. Noteboom established the point spot early and when he still held it at the white flag lap, it was looking like a victoy for the Hinton, Iowa driver in his #7N ride. However, Webster City's Mark Elliott thought different! Elliott gunned it going into turn three and went low, passing Noteboom by turn four, and snatching the win! Jimmy Gustin (who was running some ride along video equipment protruding from his car in two positions, which should prove to be some interesting footage...not sure where to find it) finished a close third. The fourth place finisher was veteran NASCAR personality, Ken Schrader, Missouri native, who now calls Concord, North Carolina home, came from well back in the starting lineup. Scott Hogan, Vinton, Iowa rounded out the top five spots.
The Class too Tough to Tame, the IMCA stock cars ran 20-laps for their feature. There were 45 of these tough competitors on hand, requiring three B mains as well.
Those winners were Robert Stofer, Damon Murty and Wisconsin driver Matt Junio. Donavon Smith showed his dominance early, grabbing the lead from Michael Jaennette at the drop of the green flag. From there on, it was pretty much clear sailing for Smith as he led the rest of the race, pulling away. Brandon Czarapata, Appleton, Wisconsin chased him to the finish line, though a ways between them. Micheal Jaennette, who has been having a good early season from our observations, took third place over Steve Meyer in fourth. Trent Murphy rounded out the top five.
It was John Watson taking home another of his many wins in the 15-lap hobby stock feature. Watson, who won the 2011 Frostbuster, as well as numerous weekly features, won by a comfortable margin over second place, Randy Embrey. Nevada, Iowa's Brandon Brinton finished third, and veteran racer Chris Jensen from Des Moines, was fourth. Beatrice, Nebraskan, Adam Armstrong finished fifth.
It was a windy, chilly night for racing with the race fans bundling up, but the racing was good and entertaining and we are just happy to be getting "back in the racing groove". Many of the weekly racing will be getting underway this coming week as does the Boone Speedway on Saturday night, April 14. You will be seeing the IMCA modifieds, IMCA stock cars, IMCA SportMods, and the IMCA hobby stocks, along with the Mod-Lites, all on a weekly basis. Hot laps are 6:45 and racing at 7:30. Happy racing!
