The Mod Lite A main kicked off the feature racing and their 15-lap event went flag to flag. Charlie Brown charged to the lead as the race began. He held the top spot until a lap car played into the game at lap eleven, and Joe Glick, who had been chasing Brown, grabbed the opportunity and made the pass for the lead. In the closing laps, it was Travis Stensland giving Glick fits, but to no avail, as Glick took the checkers and the win. Stensland finished a close second, followed by Charlie Brown, Mike Morrill, and Jason Masongarb rounded out the top five. Glick claimed his second feature at Marshalltown this season. It's a tight race for the track title with Stensland leading Glick by one point.
The running order was changed up a bit last evening and the IMCA Hobby Stocks came to the track next for 15-laps of feature racing. Shannon Anderson wasted no time in getting to the front from his tenth place starting position, grabbing the lead from Gene Nicklas at lap eight and from there on, motored off to a comfortable win. Nicklas finished a distant runner up, David Rieks was third, fourth went to Leah Wroten, and Todd Fisher took fifth. The race went green to checkered. Anderson scored his fifth win this year. Anderson padded his points lead with the win last evening.
Cory VanZante, the Sully, Iowa racer found his way to Victory Lane in the IMCA Northern SportMod 18-lap feature. VanZante started on the pole, and had no trouble in pulling off to a big lead, while the cars battled it out a distance behind him for position. VanZante was never challenged, leading all laps on his way to victory. Travis Peterson finished as the runner up, Sam Wieben was third, Tony Olson started eighteenth in his first appearance at the track this season, and finished in fourth, and Jami Ritter rounded out the top five. VanZante nearly destroyed his car a few weeks ago in a backstretch mishap at the Southern Iowa Speedway. It was good to see him have a turn of good luck last night. Ethan Braaksma continues his lead in the points battle, though only finishing thirteenth.
Todd Inman and Damon Murty put on quite the show in the IMCA Stock Car feature. Inman held the top spot with Murty hounding him continually as they circled the top of the track. On lap eleven of the 18-lap race, Murty finally got the advantage and swept to the top spot, but Inman didn't go away. In the closing laps, Inman's last chance try for the pass, resulted in a flat, and put him out of the chase. Murty held the lead the rest of the way to the checkers, taking another comfortable win. The runner up was ninth place starter, Todd Reitzler, Jeff Mueller finished third, fourth went to Dave Atcher, and veteran Jeff Wollam in his 25th year of racing, came from eleventh to finish fifth. This was Murty's fifth win. The two drivers finishing one-two last evening are the ones continuing to battle it out for the track title. Murty leads Reitzler by two points as we head into the last portion of the racing season.
The IMCA Late Model 20-lap A main saw Jeremiah Hurst lead much of the event on his way to securing his first win at Marshalltown. Hurst took the lead from Kirby Shultz on lap six and managed to hold off a last moment charge by Todd Cooney that fell just short at the finish line. Cooney had to settle for second place, tenth place starter Paul Nagel finished third, fourth went to early leader Kirby Shultz, and Darrel DeFrance made a nice come back from an earlier mishap on the speedway, a trip to the hot pit, and tagging the field, to finish in fifth. It was nice to see two new drivers in the field of fourteen cars. Paul Nagel had a fine run to finish third, and Wilton, Iowa racer Dave Wada finished seventh. Todd Cooney is the point leader, holding a twenty-one point lead over second place Darrel DeFrance.
Joel Rust has been hot lately, and he matched his win from two weeks ago at Marshalltown, winning the 20-lap IMCA Modified feature event. Rust started sixth, took command at lap six, and then cruised off to take the easy win. It was a close one for second and third, with Racer Hulin just holding the advantage over Tim Ward at the finish line. Ronn Lauritzen and Gatlin Leytham were fourth and fifth respectively. Tim Ward holds a 40 point lead over Joel Rust in the point's battle.
It was good to get back to the speedway last evening after the rain out the week before. I think the weather forecast had a lot of people spooked with the prediction of high temperatures, but especially with the "feel like" temps to be in 110 plus degree range! Thankfully, with the strong southerly breeze, the evening turned out to be pretty pleasant! The call was made to start the racing action later than normal and the program was efficiently run through with no time taken for driver interviews in victory lane. Racing continues next Friday night with hot laps at 6:50 and racing at 7:30.
Everyone have a fun and safe 4th of July.
