Mother Nature wins on Season Championship night at Boone Speedway

It was season championship night at the Boone Speedway on Saturday.  The top 20 in points were locked in to the feature and if needed, the remainder of the field would be filled in through heat races. However, there was no need for any heats in the five classes, so the features were all set for the night. The first feature, the Mod Lites, was called to the front stretch for driver introductions...and then Mother Nature played her card.  The races were called and the season championship night will not be made up.

The track champions are: Mike VanGenderen in the IMCA Modified class for the second year in a row, finishing seven points ahead of second place Russ Dickerson. Donavon Smith goes back to back in the IMCA Stock Car championship, finishing well ahead of second place Jay Schmidt. IMCA Northern SportMod track champion goes to Chad Ryerson, five points ahead of Johnathon Logue. Dustin Graham takes the title in the IMCA Hobby Stock division by one point over Aaron Rudolph, five points ahead of Dustin Lynch and seven points over Ryan Wells.  Bryan Zehm repeats his track championship in the Mod Lite class, finishing well ahead of Josh May in second place.

Next Saturday night, September 2, will be the Prelude to the Super Nationals.  Pre-registered drivers for the 35th Annual Super Nationals may race.  The IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Northern SportMods, and the IMCA Hobby Stocks will be in action.  Hot laps are scheduled for 6:30, with racing at 7:30. Then on Monday, Labor Day September 4, starts the six day run of the 35th IMCA Super Nationals...America's Racin' Vacation.
