The Mod Lites kicked off the night's feature racing. Mike Morrill dominated in taking the win in the 15-lap feature. He started seventh and took command at lap two and never looked back on his way to the checkers. Morrill finished well ahead of second place finisher Joe Glick. Travis Stensland came from deep in the starting field to finish third, fourth went to Randy Bryan and Charlie Brown completed the top five. The race went caution free. Morrill, who also won last week, now has a total of four wins for the season at the speedway. This win also marked his 210th career feature win in his 22 years of racing. He continued his tradition of giving his trophy to a lucky youngster in the stands.
Sam Wieben, who has visited the winner's circle multiple times over the past couple of years, got to victory lane for the first time in 2018 in the IMCA Northern SportMods. Wieben passed Ryan King at lap seven after a spirited battle, and then was able to distance himself from the rest of the pack and take the comfortable win. Last week's winner Ethan Braaksma ran out of time to reel in the leader, and finished as the runner up. Jack Housley ran at the front of the pack all night and scored a third place finish, fourth went to Adam Shelman, and Tyler Inman was fifth.
Dylan Nelson started sixth and claimed the lead on lap two of the 15-lap IMCA Hobby Stock feature. David Rieks was charging hard behind him in the early portion of the race, until he found himself driving in too hard, and loosing the handle. This gave breathing room to Nelson until the appearance of Shannon Anderson and Leah Wroten. He managed to hold off those hard chargers with Anderson going second, and Leah Wroten, who sits just one point out of the IMCA National points race, a close third. Fourth went to Matt Smith, and Eric Knutson came from sixteenth starting spot, to capture fifth place. Nelson took his second win at Marshalltown this season. Nelson, who has a figure 8 racing background, has the oval figured out.
The IMCA 18-lap Stock Car feature was another dandy. Todd Reitzler started seventh, took to the top lane and got to the lead on lap five. He had a lot of company in Damon Murty and Jeff Mueller who were tailing him around the track. Reitzler however, never gave them an opportunity to find a way around him, and sailed home to the win, his second this year. Murty, last week's winner, threw everything but the kitchen sink at Reitzler, but had to settle for second this week. Jeff Mueller was a close third, Michael Jaennette rallied from an early spin out to finish fourth, and Kurt Hook was fifth.
Darrel DeFrance started sixth in the 20-lap IMCA Late Model feature, and by lap two, had rocketed to the lead. Then Todd Cooney began his march to the front, reeling in leader DeFrance and then taking the top spot at lap seven. Cooney then pulled away to take the feature win by over half a lap. Jeremiah Hurst finished as the runner up, DeFrance was third, fourth went to Kurt Hinrichs, and pole sitter Bobby Hansen was fifth. Cooney lapped the fifth place finisher, and was about to catch fourth place when the race was completed. It was two in a row for Cooney and his third win over all. The race went flag to flag.
Capping off the night was 20-laps of IMCA Modified feature racing. Veteran racer from Oskaloosa, Iowa, Ron VerBeek looked strong in the early portion as he led the troops around the high banks. However, at lap three, Joel Rust was nipping at his heels. Rust, who had started ninth, pestered VerBeek for a couple of laps before taking over the top spot at lap six. From there on, he kept it the remaining distance to the checkers. VerBeek finished a distance behind in second, Tim Ward came from tenth starting position, to finish third, Racer Hulin was a close fourth, and Trent Jackson rounded out the top five. Rust has two regular season wins and also won the Highbank Hustle special. For some reason, the Modifieds were having their share of issues in the feature event, as multiple yellows flew, one of which caused a big pile up on a restart, bringing out another yellow before the race even resumed. The domino effect on the restart ended several driver's run in the A main with battered race cars.
We were expecting to be uncomfortable from the heat and humidity last evening, but a nice southerly breeze saved the fans, and it turned out to be a pretty pleasant night to be sitting at the races. Had it not been for the multiple yellows flying through out the evening, the 95 cars racing would have had the program ended well before the finish at 10:06 p.m.
The weekly racing program continues next week at Marshalltown Speedway with racing in all six classes. For those of you who have not visited the track, it would be well worth your time to make the trip to see some close competition and exciting racing in all the classes. Hot laps are scheduled for 7 and the green flag drops at 7:30. Hope to see some of you there!
