The Boone Speedway held their annual Little League Night at the races on Saturday night. There was a batting contest in the infield before racing even started for the evening. Not only that, but because kids are out of school for the summer, all students under nineteen were admitted free. The batting contest did delay the start of the races, but when the heats started, all fifteen heats plus one b-main, were run through with only one yellow flag! New faces and repeat winners found victory lane on a beautiful Saturday night at the races.
The Mod Lite's ran their 15-lap feature flag-to-flag. Joel Huggins and Travis Stensland battled for the lead in the early going. At lap eight, Stensland took command of the helm with Huggins trying to regain the top spot and the leader's father, Jeff Stensland, running in third. On the final lap, Huggins would suddenly pull into the infield, off the pace. Travis Stensland went on to the win, and dad, Jeff, inherited the runner up spot. Point leader Josh May finished in third, fourth went to Charlie Brown, and James May was fifth.
Twenty-five of the twenty-seven Northern SportMods started their 18-lap feature event. Brian Miller snatched the lead from Stacey Clark a bit after the halfway mark and was looking to be taking the checkers first. A caution flag would fly with just two laps remaining, which bunched the field and put point leader Scott Davis on Miller's bumper at the restart. Coming to the checkers, Davis would power his way
past Miller by inches, and take his first win of the season at Boone. Consistant finishes have paid off for Davis, and the win padded his point lead even more. Miller finished a no doubt, disappointing second, third was Nick Roberts, fourth went to Stacey Clark, and Tara Longnecker rounded out the top five.
The IMCA modified 20-lap feature was dominated by Jake Durbin, who took his first win of the 2011 season at the track. Even with a restart situation bunching the field with just three laps to go, Durbin sped off to win in comfortable fashion. Josh Gilman took second after slipping by Craig Carlson who finished third. Fourth went to Cale Sponsler and Randy Havlik finished in fifth.
The stock cars at Boone this year have had some amazingly close racing. They lived up to that again last night. They passed the flagstand in such close packs of four and five cars, it was virtually unable to see who was running in which position. Eric Brown led the early laps in comfortable form until a rollover on the backstretch stopped the action at lap nine. Terry Cornelison, in the 556 car, rolled his car and ended up with the bottom side against the back cement wall. Thankfully, he was not injured. On the restart, with cars bunched, the chase was on to catch Brown and the remaining laps were a blur of cars passing the flagstand. When those final few laps were completed, it was last week's winner, Jerry Gifford, taking the win for the second consecutive week. Rod Richards took the runner up position and Eric Brown fell back to take third. Fourth went to point leader, Donavon Smith and Trent Murphy rounded out the top five.
The hobby stock feature closed out the evenings racing. Brandon Brinton led early until point leader Michael Murphy came calling and made the pass on Brinton and into the lead at lap eight. A spectacular incident concluded the race after the white flag had flown, when Eric Stanton rolled in corner one. He was not injured, but the car was observed hanging between two wreckers. The race ended under yellow/checkered, and sealed the deal on yet another win for Murphy, his sixth of the year at Boone. Brandon Brinton took second, third went to John Watson, fourth to Austin Luellen, and fifth to Danny Watson. A little action took place after the race in the infield and we learned that the 26T car of Jeremy Tilley, claimed the carburetor of Murphy.
Next week will be mid-season championships for all classes. Check out www.raceboone.com for information on the track as well as results and point standings. Until next time, happy racing!

Dane Larson wins at Marshalltown and Bushore wins first of season at Boone
It was certainly the exception for racing on Friday night at Marshalltown with temps in the low 90's, instead of the chilly and damp weather we've endured in 2011. The winds were strong making for relief from the heat, but not helping the track conditions.
The Dwarf feature started the main events. Tim Hennigar would win his first feature of the year at Marshalltown, though no stranger from years past. Hennigar and Colby Oberembt battled for the lead during much of the race but Oberembt would be off the power with just a couple of laps to go, and exit the race. The familiar #6 of Mike Morrill would then be in the chase to catch Hennigar, but would have to settle for the runner up spot. Josh May made it up to third, Randy Bryan finished in fourth and Joel Huggins rounded out the top five.
It was enjoyable to see a new "old" face in victory lane in the SportMods. Dane Larson, son of Wayne and older brother to Adam, took the win in his #83 ride. Dane raced about a decade ago in the modifieds, and our most vivid memory of those days of racing was when he put his race car over and out of the old Eldora, Iowa's Greenbelt Speedway, in turn one. It was one spectacular incident!
Larson led nearly the entire feature event, fending off any challenges even after cautions and subsequent restarts. Larson took the win followed by Nick Roberts in the runner up spot, Kyle Brown in third, fourth went to Cayden Carter, and fifth to Tyler Droste. Wayne Larson joined his son in victory lane afterwards, and seemed pleased that his son had not only won the race, but had done so as Wayne had done so many times---hugging that bottom lane.
The IMCA stock car feature went to Donavon Smith for his first win of the year at Marshalltown. Smith started back in eleventh place and had made his way into third by lap three! It wasn't long thereafter, and Smith was in the lead, stretching it out, and taking the win. Steve Meyer, took the second place, Trent Murphy was third, followed by Curt Hook in fourth and Kevin Rose in fifth. It appeared that Jay Schmidt crossed for the fourth place,even after taking it over and out of the speedway between turns three and four earlier, and joining the tail of the field. Apparently, the lap he exited the track was scored...and not him, as he was missing...making him a lap down, and unless another yellow flew, could not make up that lap. This is our speculation only.
The 20-lap modified feature went flag-to-flag. Todd "Toddzilla" Shute led the entire contest putting his #5 ride out in front and gone! Adam Larson made his way into second from starting eighth on the field. Third went to Scott Simatovich, fourth to Jimmy Gustin and last week's winner, Jon Snyder finished in fifth.
The IMCA hobby stockers finished the show off with their 12-lap feature. Sully, Iowa driver, Donovan Nunnikhoven sailed to the finish for an easy win. Trailing a distance for second, was Gary Pfantz, Eric Knutson was third, fourth went to Gene Nicklas, and Brandon Pruitt took fifth.
Racing continues next week at the Marshalltown Speedway. Check www.marshalltownspeedway.com for information, schedule and full results.
Boone Speedway - 6-4-11
It was soccer night at the Boone Speedway and the kids enjoyed kicking around a huge soccer ball behind the grandstands during intermission. The fans enjoyed a great night of racing as well, as 121 cars checked through the gates. Tonight, no b-mains were required.
The Dwarf feature went to Josh May, who has been on a real hot streak this season. This was his fourth win at Boone in 2011. He has a least as many at the Marshalltown track this year. May passed Travis Stensland with about a handful of laps remaining and pulled away for the win. Stensland took the runner up spot in a nice run, Randy Bryant took third, followed by Charlie Brown in fourth and Matthew Goodin in fifth.
All 27 cars on hand started the feature for the IMCA Northern SportMods. You would have thought it was a full moon night with so many yellows flying in this race! So many so, that it would end under the allotted time limit at lap eleven. Randy Roberts was the recipient of the win as he led when that final fateful yellow under the time limit flew. Point leader Scott Davis was scored in second, third went to Tim Love, fourth to Daniel Tasler, and Racer Hulin was fifth.
The 20-lap A modified feature sent young, local driver, Joel Bushore to victory lane for his first win of the season. Jimmy Gustin came from row six to grab the runner up spot. Jake Durbin looked strong in taking the third place, fourth went to Randy Havlik and fifth to veteran driver from Grimes, Denny Rosenberg.
Enter the IMCA stock cars for their feature. The cars were running fast, furious, and multi-lanes wide, as often is the case in this popular class. Jerry Gifford was a determined man having had that first win elude him previously this year. Gifford led all but the first lap of the 18-lap race, to take his first win of 2011. Donavon Smith made it a close second place finish but time ran out for any more of a challenge. Third went to Robert Stofer, Jay Schmidt came from row six for finish fourth, and fifth went to Michael Jaennette.
The IMCA hobby stocks polished off the night's events with the running of their 12-lap feature. Eric Stanton took the easy win, pulling away from the pack. John Watson came home in the distant runner up spot, third went to Richard Yaw, fourth was Cory Adams and Michael Murphy was fifth.
As a note, raindrops did fall during and after the very first heat race of hobby stocks. Once again, the black sky went north and east and Boone Speedway had but a 10 minute delay at the most and we were back to racing. Full results are listed below this blog. Happy racing!

Eckrich in flawless run takes Deery win and Smith brothers triple up
We took our annual Memorial Day trip over to the Boone Speedway for the running of the Deery Brothers Summer Series race. It was a full evening of racing as we not only saw 40 late models in competition, but joining them for play, were the IMCA stock cars, sportmods, hobby stocks and MADCRA Mod Lites. All in all, a total of 170 race cars. The late model winner ran an almost flawless race and three of the other classes saw a Smith brother out of Lake City, Iowa, take the checkered flag first.
It was a warm, but very windy day and with racing to start at 5 p.m., you can almost bet we would be seeing some dust rising during the heat races. That was the case, but when the sun went down and another great farming session took place after the heat races, the track was nicely groomed and remained dust free there after.
We stopped by at the Karsyn's Krusaders booth that was set up behind the grandstands. This is a great cause born out of the fight of a couple's young daughter, Karsyn, who fought leukemia. With support of family, friends and community, they have continued to raise money through the sale of t shirts and other items, as well as holding fund raising events. They "pay it forward" by giving scholarships as well as donating to such organizations as Make A Wish foundation. We were happy to learn that Karsyn has been cancer free for nine months! If you see Karsyn's Krusaders at a track you visit, please stop by and support this great organization and help Kick Cancer's Butt!
After all of the heat races were run and the B for the late models and the hobby stocks, a little change up occurred in the regularly scheduled order of events. Why? A look to the west and south told us why. Yet another approaching cloud mass with potential for rain was creeping closer and closer. It was decided to bring the main event to the track, the IMCA Deery Brothers late models, for their 40-lap feature.
After the top twelve qualifiers from the heat races drew for their starting positions in front of the grandstand, it was Darrel DeFrance, veteran and local favorite, who drew the number one starting spot. Andy Eckrich, winner of the Deery race at the Marshalltown Speedway earlier this month, picked number two. Twenty drivers qualified through heats and two b mains, and to fill the 24-car starting field, four drivers tagged the tail as provisionals. Those were Mike Garland (hard charger), Matt Strassheim, Nate Beuseling and Sam Halstead.
At the drop of the green flag, the 56 car of Andy Eckrich flew to the lead. Darrel DeFrance trailed a distance behind through lap twelve when on a restart, both Tom Darbyshire and Ray Guss, Jr. made the pass into second and third. Eckrich continued to pull away from those behind him, almost making it look easy, as he wound his way through lap traffic. Guss made the pass around Darybshire with less than a handful of laps remaining and slowly gained ground on Eckrich, but not enough. Eckrich took his second Deery win in a row after earlier capturing an equally impressive win at the Marshalltown Speedway. He has certainly been "Mr. Smooth" in those two races. Guss grabbed the runner up spot, with Darbyshire hanging on for a third place over Jeff Aikey in fourth and Terry Neal came from winning a b-main, to take the fifth spot.
Mother Nature seemed to smile on the Boone Speedway once again. Not a drop of rain fell, and after the late model feature was completed, the final b mains were completed and the Dwarf/Mod Lites came to the track for their main event.
The Dwarfs ran an 18-lap feature. Charlie Brown led the first handful of laps but young Josh May took over the command by lap eight. From there on, it was smooth sailing for May as he picked up the victory. Colby Oberembt took second place over Charlie Brown who finished third. Tim Hennigar was right on Brown's tail at the finish for fourth place and James May, the winner's father, finished in fifth.
The 15-lap hobby stock feature was dominated by one of the Smith brothers out of Lake City--Devin Smith. Smith took over the lead from Danny Watson by lap two, never to look back. Smith stretched his lead while Michael Murphy, Eric Stanton and Watson battled three-wide behind him for second place. Smith took the easy win with Murphy gaining control for second. Third went to Danny Watson, Eric Stanton was fourth and fifth went to the 27 car out of Missouri Valley, Iowa, Jason Kohl.
Thirty-nine Northern SportMods checked through the gates, and after four heats and two b mains, the 24-car starting field was set. Cody Warrick and Brian Miller battled for the lead through lap twelve of the 20-lap feature. Not surprisingly, Doug Smith had now sneaked up to third spot, and was wanting more. That was soon a done deal, as he took his #12 ride into the top spot at lap 14, and would win going away. Chalk up another win for a Smith brother out of Lake City, Iowa. Brian Miller grabbed second place and Andy Tiernan and Scott Davis finished a close third and fourth, in that order. Former IMCA Super Nationals winner, Mike Pruitt from Redfield, rounded out the top five.
The IMCA stock cars brought an exciting conclusion to the program with the running of their 20-lap affair. The excitement started early with cars going four-wide down the front chute and then five-wide in the corner! Andy Bryant relinquished his lead to Wayne Gifford and second place runner Donavon Smith...yes another Smith brother from Lake City...by lap six. From there on, it was an intense duel between Gifford and Smith, as they swapped the lead. Gifford was leading at the white flag, but Smith out powered him to get to the checkers flying first, making it a three for three night for the Smith brothers. Following Gifford for a third place finish was Alan VanGorp, fourth went to David Smith---yup, another Smith brother--and Jay Schmidt came from nineteenth with an impressive run, to nab fifth.
Boone Speedway will be running their regularly scheduled show for points in all divisions again come Saturday night June 4.

Ten features, ten winners at Boone Speedway
The fans sure got their money's worth this past Saturday night at Boone. The night started a bit early at 6:45 p.m. when the four make-up features from last week's rain out were run. They farmed the track after those were completed, and then the regular night's show began with the running of heats and b-mains. A final farming session groomed the track, and it was time for the final six features.
The first of two make-ups for the hobby stocks started off the early-start action. Eric Stanton started back in row six and pushed his 7B ride to the point early on...never to look back. He took his first win of the year at Boone in relatively easy fashion, finishing comfortably ahead of second place finisher, Nyle Godwin. Matt McDonald came to the checkers in third place, fourth went to Curt Reed and fifth to Andrew Arends.
The second make-up feature for the hobbies followed. Michael Murphy made it back to victory lane for the fifth time this year by snatching the win away from John Watson with a final lap pass. Watson had to settle for that runner-up spot, third went to Tyler Pickett, fourth was Shaun Wirtz and Matt Hudspeth finished in fifth.
The modified make-up feature from May 21st found a new face in the winner's circle as "The Flying Dutchman", Mike VanGenderen put his 57V ride past the checkers first.
VanGenderen fought off the challenges of Randy Havlik who finished in second place. Third went to Perry, Iowa's Jake Durbin, Mike Molle finished fourth and Cale Sponsler captured fifth place. VanGenderen took his first win of 2011 after jumping back into a modified this year.
The stock car make-up feature completed last week's rain-shortened program. Eric Brown seemed to be on a mission to seek that so far, elusive win this year. Brown was successful and took the win as a pack of cars behind him jockeyed for positions. Trent Murphy got to the runner-up spot ahead of third place finisher Wayne Gifford. Fourth went to Josh Daniels and Donavon Smith was fifth.
A lot of racing action was still ahead with the running of heat races and a couple of b-mains. The kids even got to enjoy a ride on the school bus while the track was farmed before the regular night's A mains were run.
The MADCRA Mod-Lites ran their 15-lap feature with Colby Oberembt taking the win for the second time this year. He held off a hard-charging Josh May who was just not able to over take Oberembt, try as he "May", and had to be content with a second place finish. Third went to Tim Hennigar, Randy Bryan came home in fourth and fifth was James May.
The IMCA Northern SportMods didn't run their usual required b-main tonight and 25 of the 27 cars on hand, started the A main. The #2 of Bill Wears led the pack at the point through lap twelve of the 18-lap affair. That's when point leader, Scott Davis came calling and took over the lead. The race was not over by any means though as tenth-place starter Geoff Olson put his car into the second spot and the chase was on! Olson made an impressive pass on Davis on the white-flag lap and took his first win at Boone this year. Davis finished second with Bill Wears holding on for third, fourth went to Rick Ringgenberg and fifth to Ty Luellen. Winner, Geoff Olson, just recently graduated from Iowa State University in Ames.
Now it was time for the IMCA modified feature with 24 of the 25 cars on hand making the starting call. Mike VanGenderen was leading and looking strong, and looked to be making it a two-for-one night after taking the make-up feature earlier. Someone else had other ideas. A caution flag flew with five laps to go in the 20-lap race, and at the drop of the green on the restart, Josh "Happy" Gilman saw his chance and went for it. He was able to make the pass on VanGenderen on the restart of the race, and would take his second win of the 2011 season at the track. VanGenderen, though having a good night of racing with his earlier win, and then finishing second to Gilman, was still no doubt disappointed to finish a runner-up. Third went to Craig Carlson, fourth to Russ Dickerson and Cale Sponsler rounded out the top five.
The "class too tough to tame", the IMCA stock cars were up next. The race was pretty much a done deal from the start as veteran driver, Larry Crocheck led the entire 18-lap contest. The start of the race saw a scary incident on the frontstretch with cars going every which way. Thankfully, what could have been a really bad incident, only ended a couple of driver's night with car damage only. Crocheck would then lead the pack for the rest of the laps with Cory Bushnell chasing him to take second. Trent Murphy and Jay Schmidt were dueling behind the top two finishers, running the highside of the track, hoping to reel in the leader. It was futile, as Murphy and Schmidt had to settle for third and fourth in that order. Ryan Rose came home in fifth.
The first hobby stock feature saw another veteran driver, Dean Hartwig, take his first win of the season. Hartwig was leading by lap five of the 12-lap feature and Randy Embrey "rubber-banded" through the field to pick up second place. Third went to John Watson from starting eleventh, fourth place finisher was Eric Stanton and fifth was Dustin Tepp.
The final hobby stock feature concluded the action-packed night of racing at the Boone Speedway. This 12-lap race went to Danny Watson who led nearly the entire contest. Late in the race, he was challenged hard by Michael Murphy, but Murphy couldn't over take Watson. Murphy had to settle for second, third went to Richard Yaw II, Scott Lograsso finished fourth and Nyle Godwin was fifth.
Monday, May 30th will find us back at the Boone Speedway for the annual running of the Deery Brothers Summer Series for the IMCA late models. The SportMods, Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks and Dwarfs are also on the docket. Make note of the early start time as hot laps begin at 4 p.m. and races at 5. Next Saturday night, June 4, will be another regular night of racing at the track. Until next time, happy racing!
