It was yet another chilly night for fans sitting out at the Boone Speedway on Saturday night, but the action on the track was anything but. There was a repeat winner in the Modified and Mod Lite classes, while the Stock Car, SportMod and Hobby Stock saw drivers taking the checkers for the first time at the speedway. A race of another sorts entertained the crowd after the heat races were completed---crowning a "Racing Diva".
Before the night's features drew to the track, ten drivers were entered into "The Diva Dash"....a couple of drivers making it a "no show" on the start. The drivers were called to the front of the grandstands and presented with their "wheels" for the night----sparkly pink high heels! After a bit of testing out their new wheels, the drivers were sent to the track. As the green flag dropped, they made a mad dash on the frontstretch on their way to crossing the checkered flag. Cale Sponsler wiped out, and several drivers "threw a shoe", but in the end it was Hobby Stock driver Austin Luellen getting the accolades as being the first ever winner of the Diva Dash.
The first of the repeat winners on the year went to Mod Lite winner, Andy Hennigar. He had to catch and pass Mike Morrill who led most of the race. Hennigar took over the lead with just one lap to go, and took his second win at the track this season. Morrill finished in second, fending off third place finisher Josh May. Randy Bryan and Mike Kennedy followed in fourth and fifth. Hennigar is off to a great start as he has two wins at Boone as well as two wins at the Marshalltown Speedway.
The IMCA SportMod class saw the first new name in the books. Daniel Tasler led the entire 18-laps as he motored to the win. He was chased most of that distance by rookie to the class, Brandon Brinton, who finished a distance behind the winner. Third place went to Boone's Cory Rose, while fourth went to Tim Love after starting back in row seven. Rounding out the top five was Cody Hennings.
Drivers went at it fiercely in the 20-lap IMCA Modified main event. Kyle Brown would lead the first handful of laps until Jake Durbin put the move on and took over the helm. Former track champion Cale Sponsler was looking for more as he was soon in third. Durbin put some distance between himself and his competition as the laps wound down, but second was up for grabs between Brown and Sponsler. As the white flag flew, Sponsler slipped by Brown, taking over second, but it was a tight finish at the checkers as Brown fought back...falling just short, and having to be content with third. Fourth went to Jon Snyder and Matthew Meinecke hung around the front of the pack to score fifth.
The always entertaining IMCA Stock Cars were next on the agenda. Mike Goldsberry would lead the entire way in this one. Bryan Trogdon tormented the leader making attempt after attempt at the pass, but falling short each time. Craig Carlson started on the outside of the front row and hung tough in third, until twelfth place starter Donavon Smith passed him with three laps to go. As the white flew it was Goldsberry holding on but Trogdon and Smith were tight behind. Goldsberry hung tough and won the race and at the finish it was Smith getting the advantage over Trogdon as they went second and third. Fourth went to Carlson and Jerry Gifford rounded out the top five.
The finale for the evening was the 12-lap Hobby Stock feature. A driver who has been absent on the race scene for a couple of years, Paul Nagle from Nevada, would lead this one from start to finish. Nagle didn't let a couple of yellow flag situations bother him as he motored off on the restarts with Andrew Burg in tow. Burg pestered the leader but was never able to make the pass. When the final caution came out at lap eight, Brandon Pruitt moved up to take third place after the restart and began tracking down the leaders. Nagle never waivered in his final run to the checkers, taking his first win at Boone in several years. Second was a squeaker at the flag as Pruitt got the advantage and nosed out Burg as they went second and third. Curt Reed took fourth and Shannon Anderson came from the fifth row to take fifth.
Next Saturday, May 18 will be regular points racing in all five classes. It will also be a Halloween Costume contest on the grandstand side with prizes for best costume, fun games, and trick or treat stations set up for the kids. Hot laps are 6:45 and racing starts at 7:30. Happy racing!

Brown wins Modified, Murty, Hennigar and Gates repeat
It was the Cliff Chambers Memorial at the Marshalltown Speedway, taking our thoughts back to the gentleman who did so much for the track back in the day. It was also with heavy hearts that we remembered the loss just last week of the first of three generations of a race team, Dale Saunders. Dale was the father of Tim Saunders, fierce competitor a few years back who has since hung up the helmet, and grandfather to Josh Saunders who now competes in the Hobby Stock ranks. A moment of silence was observed, and then Josh hopped in his race car and did what he knew his grandfather would have wanted....RACE.
An added attraction on the night was the appearance of the Nostalgia cars, bringing back memories of days gone by watching the classic machines running the High Banks at Marshalltown. Josh Zieman in his big old 1956 Pontiac #45 made it a win for the second year in a row by capturing the feature win. Second went to the #17 of Jammie Huff, third to #10 Jim Anderson, "Pudge" Grabill put his #5 in the fourth place, and Tyler Ahlman in #33 was fifth.
The Sport Compact class ran the next feature, and it was no contest for Adam Gates as he led the entire 10-lap feature on his way to his second consecutive victory at the track. Veteran Merv Chandler had to settle for second, third was Shawn Cooney, Nick West took fourth and Matt Moore, fifth.
The MADCRA Mod Lites also saw a back-to-back winner when Andy Hennigar sailed off to the win. Hennigar had to battle Bryan Zehm for that top spot, but managed to take the lead by lap seven and never looked back. At the finish, the field was spread out all around the track, Hennigar taking the checkers, followed by Zehm in second, third was Mike Kennedy, fourth went to Randy Bryan and Mike Morrill finished in the fifth spot.
The IMCA SportMods came up next. Ryan Ashton pulled away from the field in the early part of this one and was looking to be headed to the win. However, tracking him down from starting about mid-field, was the 25 of Travis Peterson. Peterson was happy to see the caution fly at lap 13, allowing him to close the gap even further as they restarted. A great race between Petersen, Carter VandenBerg and Jenae Gustin was brewing for the second spot, putting the crowd on it's feet as they crossed ever so close at the flagstand. With just two laps to go, Peterson made the pass for the lead, sending Ashton to second. At one lap to go, Gustin suddenly went spinning in the greasy mud as she approached the scoring tower, sliding into the victory lane and smacking a sign or two in the process. She gathered it back up, no caution required, and the race was completed under green. Peterson took his first win at the Marshalltown Speedway, Ashton was runner up, third went to Eric Elliott who sneaked by Carter VandenBerg in fourth and Sam Wieben took fifth.
The Hobby Stocks ran their 12-lap feature with the 99JR of Nick Murty at the head of the pack through lap seven, fending off the challenges of Austin Luellen nipping at his heels. Luellen had just taken the lead as lap eight was completed, when the yellow flag flew. On the restart, Eric Larson saw his chance and got around Murty, taking over second spot, but Murty fought back, regaining second. Luellen took the win, Murty was second, and Eric Larson barely beat out Chris Luloff at the line as they finished third and fourth. Rounding out the top five was Benji Irvine.
The IMCA Stock Cars saw Eric Knutson, a driver who jumped up from the Hobby Stocks, leading the troops well past the mid-point of their 18-lap contest. However, behind him and coming fast was Brian Irvine and Damon Murty. Irvine was running the track in his usual style with the left front hiking high, and Murty was pressuring him. At lap fourteen, a shake up in the running order found Murty at the helm, Irvine in second and Knustson falling to third. With just a lap to go, Knutson found himself in spin mode at the bottom of turn four, losing many positions before gathering it back. Murty took the checkers first, sending the familiar 99D to the winner's circle for the second time in a row at the track, Irvine held second, and the 20-year veteran Jeff Wollam snapped up third place. Fourth was Mike Goldsberry and Jay Schmidt came from starting near the tail, to take fifth place. This was win #11 on the season for Murty, as it continues to be a "chase the Charger" year so far.
The night ended with the 20-lap IMCA Modified feature. It was a father son affair on the front row as son Kyle Brown took the point spot along side dad, David Brown. Kyle took the lead at the drop of the green but by lap three, it was Josh Truman and Jon Snyder battling for that second spot, and just a few laps later, the 505 of Racer Hulin threw his hat into the ring as well; Truman falling back in the field. At lap fourteen, a yellow flew when Josh Foster spun out low in turn one. This would bunch up the field on the restart, setting up a shoot out for the remaining charge to the checkers. And a charge it was as Brown, Snyder and Hulin went at it on the restart. Brown was able to maintain his lead to the checkers flying, and captured his first win at the track this year. Racer Hulin made it interesting in the final laps, as he flew around Snyder on the topside to take over the second spot and made a challenge on Brown in the waning moments, falling short and having to settle for runner up. Third went to Snyder, Luke Wanninger finished fourth and Adam Larson was fifth.
Next Friday at the Marshalltown Speedway will be Scout Night with all regular classes competing for points. Hot laps 7, racing at 7:30. Happy racing!

Sobbing Goes Back to Back, Hughes Does the Same
It was one heck of a lot nicer sitting at the Southern Iowa Speedway this Wednesday night than it was a week ago! Mother Nature did try to mess with us a bit as there had been a light rain earlier in the day, providing the track with natural watering, and there were sprinkles on the windshield as we arrived at the track. The small shower cell quickly passed, and it was racing as usual on the big ole Monster half-mile. The Hobby Stocks were racing for $400 to win with a draw/redraw format special, with the other four regular classes on the docket as well.
The Stock Cars came out in full force last evening, with twenty-one cars, requiring three heats. They ran their feature first. The first few laps found Todd Reitzler trying to catch Churdan, Iowa's Jason Minnehan, while a bit farther back in the pack, Randy Killen, Kris Walker and Damon Murty were battling for position.
Minnehan had distanced himself from challengers, when a yellow flag flew at lap 15 of the 18-lap race, and at the same time, a cloud of steam rolled out of the 99D of Murty, eliminating him from the race as well. When the race resumed, Minnehan maintained his lead, but it was now Randy Killen and Nathan Wood fighting for that second position and behind them, a tight grouped Jeff Joldersma, Todd Reitzler and Jason Cook were putting on a show for the crowd. Minnehan kept his lead the final couple of circuits, scoring his first win at the track. He was followed by Randy Killen in second and Nathan Wood took third. Fourth place was Jeff Joldersma who made the long haul over from far western Iowa, running another one of his always distinctive appearing self-built cars, and Todd Reitzler rounded out the top five spots.
The Modified A Main came to the track next. This was looking to be a runaway for the 22 of Brandon Banks. But---enter in those always pesky yellow flags that bunch the field. After the second yellow at lap eight, it was "Toddzilla" Todd Shute that was sniffing at the bumper of Banks and we were expecting a good one upfront on the restart. Shute gave it a shot, but just a couple of laps later, his car slowed and he was forced to retire to the pits. So, now who should be on the tail of leader Banks, but last week's winner, Jesse Sobbing. It took less than a lap for Sobbing to fly around Banks, but the race wasn't over yet as another caution reared it's ugly head, setting up a green-white-checkered finish. The caution flew when Jacob Murray was fast tracking down leader Sobbing after making the pass on Banks, but a little too much effort in turn one, found Murray putting it on spin cycle. Sobbing motored home to the easy win--his second in as many weeks---Banks took the runner up spot, third went to Bill Gibson, the driver who moved up this year from the SportMod class, Murray redeemed himself a bit and took the fourth spot and Tyler Groenendyk rounded out the top five.
We saw another repeat winner from last week in the SportMod feature as Curtis VanDeWal went to victory lane again. It wasn't looking as if this would happen though as Des Moines racer Tyler Gross was leading most of the race, outdistancing himself from the pack. Then, just as the white was about to fly, AJ Johnson would bring out the yellow as his ride gave up the ghost, and once again, we were in a green-white-checkered situation. VanDeWal was able to get the advantage on the restart and then sealed the deal on his back-to-back wins. Tyler Gross finished in what had to be a disappointing runner up place, third was Tony Johnson, Brett Lowry finished fourth and Tonganoxie, Kansas driver, Ben Kates took fifth.
The IMCA Sport Compact feature ran as the Hobby Stocks prepared for their run at the $400 prize.
The old veteran, Merv Chandler took the checkers in this one. He took the lead from early leader Alex Sampson by lap three, and set sail to the easy win. John Whalen finished in second, third went to Bill Whalen, Jr., fourth was Alex Sampson and Matt Moore took fifth. Tony Paris asked Chandler in victory lane how many wins "the old girl" (meaning the racecar) had on her and Chandler replied about fifty. He also mentioned that he was working on a new car.
The luck of the draw for the front row in the $400 to win Hobby Stock feature went to local favorite Bobby Greene, and Eldon's Craig Brown. Brown gassed it at the drop of the green and took the lead, bringing row two starter Jamie Songer along to tuck in behind him. Kevin Fee was also sniffing for more as he ran third and last week's winner Mike Hughes ran in fourth. By the halfway mark of the special 20-lap feature, Brown still held the advantage, but now Mike Hughes had made his way into the runner up position after making the pass on Fee on the backstretch. A caution and restart situation set up Hughes for the pass to the lead and the subsequent run to the checkers, his second in a row. Craig Brown held on to second, third went to Fee, and Dustin Griffiths and Jamie Songer were fourth and fifth.
There were a lot of overheating cars on the night, sending cars to the pits, as well as a blown motor here and there and dropped drive shafts. Carter VandenBerg saw his night end in the heat race when he went up in smoke, ending his night early. The track stayed fast, wide and pretty smooth, requiring only a turn or two during the night by promoter Mike VanGenderen on the tractor between races. Next Wednesday night, we will hope for "racing weather", when the Monster half-mile will be back in action with the Sportsman Series added to the regular weekly classes. Hot laps 7 with racing at 7:30. Happy racing!

The Gasman Takes HDT Win at Vinton
Tuesday we turned the vehicle to the east and headed to the Benton County Speedway in Vinton for the first 2013 Hawkeye Dirt Tour race of the season. And, what a beautiful night it FINALLY was to be sitting and watching a race! Joining the HDT Modifieds were the SportMods, Hobby Stocks and Sport Compacts.
The SportMods ran their feature first. Kurt Moeding and Brennen Chipp sat on the front row. Chipp flew off to the lead immediately but it was the CH19 that came calling, dogging the leader. The CH19 had a new pilot on this evening too. Normally driven by Colby Heishman, tonight it was commanded by hot shoe Stock Car driver, Damon Murty. Nick Roberts soon threw himself into the mix as well, as he was nipping at the heels of Murty. Murty's night would suddenly end when he pulled off the track. Roberts was then on the hunt, and he soon caught and passed leader Chipp, and sailed home to the win. The last couple of laps saw a lot of shuffling behind the leader, as Danny Dvorak made his challenge, but fell short, having to settle for a second place finish. Jenae Gustin was another driver who made herself known, as she drove from starting twelfth, to take third. Fourth went to Joel Rust, and Brennen Chipp rounded out the top five.
While the Hawkeye Dirt Tour drivers were readying themselves for their feature, the Sport Compacts ran their feature. This one was led start to finish by the 07 of Ty Whalen. Merv Chandler got around Bill Whalen, Jr. in the last couple of laps, as they finished second and third. The fourth position went to Travis Losenicky.
The first Hawkeye Dirt Tour race of the 2013 season now came to the track for their 30-lap contest.The luck of the draw for the front row went to Patrick Flannagan, and Oskaloosa driver, Cayden Carter. It took a second attempt to get the race underway, and a determined Carter immediately took command. Flannagan hung around and tormented Carter for a good bit of the first part of the race, but then Richie Gustin nabbed second place and was quickly stalking the leader in true "Gustin form". At lap sixteen, a real mess occurred in turn four when Gustin and Flannagan exchanged paint, wadding themselves and several other cars up in the melee. This would bring out a lengthy caution situation while the carnage was cleaned up...and Flannagan and Gustin discussed where to go for pizza afterwards. Two of the cars caught in the pileup were Jimmy Gustin and Joel Bushore, both being towed off the track, and Richie Gustin going to the pits as well---after a short unauthorized trip to victory lane.
When racing got back underway, it was still Cayden "Gasman" Carter at the helm, but now JD Auringer was snapping at his tail. It was just a brief lead at lap nineteen when Auringer nosed ahead of the leader at the flagstand, before Carter regained the lead, and determinedly kept it to the finish and the win. No stranger to the track, hometown boy, Scott Hogan was able to get around Auringer in the last couple of laps, as they finished second and third. Colt Mather, Webster, Iowa, took fourth over Mark Schulte in fifth. Schulte made the most advancement, coming from starting in eighteenth place.
Finishing off the night's program was the Hobby Stock A Main. Kyle Parizek and Chris Luloff drew the pole for this one, and they ran in that order from the drop of the green. Benji Irvine came from starting in row three, to take over second from Luloff, who then slipped off the track, loosing many positions before regaining control. Irvine was able to make the pass and then cruised off with a lengthy lead. However, a slip off of the track with just a lap or two to go, closed the gap and nearly cost him the lead and the win before he regained the handle. Irvine was able to hold off Nathan Ballard at the checkers and went to victory lane. Third place went to Justin Wacha, fourth to Andy Coffman and fifth to Vince Bucholz.
The track rutted up in the corners during the night, despite numerous attempts at regrading during and between races. Mother Nature is much to blame for that situation, and the cars paid the price in many instances. We did however, enjoy our night at the Benton County Speedway, and were happy to be enjoying it with racing family AND in pleasant weather conditions. The next Hawkeye Dirt Tour race is scheduled for May 16, at the Clay County Speedway in Spencer, Iowa. You can find the full schedule for the HDT series at www.imca.com. Happy racing!

Youngster Spencer Diercks Takes Late Model Victory at Osky
It was summer like temperatures in many parts of Iowa on Wednesday--BUT, for anyone taking a peak at the forecast, you had better have come prepared for the drastically changing weather conditions we encountered at the Osky track. What a change! We always go prepared as we have froze in July at a race in Iowa. Some people were glad we go prepared as we had extra layers that we loaned out! The racing however, did go on at the Southern Iowa Speedway and on the docket along with the regular classes, were the IMCA Late Models.
Sport Compacts brought their seven car field to the track for the first feature. John Whalen had little trouble in taking this win, leading all laps and pulling away. Last week's winner Bill Whalen, Jr. finished a distant second followed by Merv Chandler, Alex Sampson and Matt Moore. Shawn Cooney and Trent Orwig completed feature in sixth and seventh.
The Hobby Stock went 14-laps in their A main. Donovan Nunnikhoven led the opening lap, but by lap two, Mike Hughes had flown through the pack and took the lead. The rest of the way to the finish, it was Hughes, "Out in front and showin' the way", as announcer Tony Paris called it. Nunnikhoven hung around in second until a yellow flag at lap nine bunched the field. On the restart, Bobby Greene took advantage and took over second, bringing Danny Thrasher along with him as he grabbed third. The rest of the way home was smooth sailing for Hughes, as he took the easy win. Greene held second, Thrasher was third, Nunnikhoven took fourth and Justin Hook rounded out the top five.
Things were hurrying along by this time as a lengthy red flag incident earlier in a Modified heat, had put things in a holding pattern for nearly an hour. More on that later. With the cold temperatures and wanting to get some of the Late Model drivers who had driven a good distance on the road home, the program was changed up a bit. So now, it was the big boys being called to the track.
A nice field of 16 IMCA Late Models were on hand and all but one, Nick Marolf, who had broke in his heat, started the 20 lap feature. Tom Darbyshire led this one through lap five, when he was suddenly off power, and his night came to an end. Kevin Kile then became the captain at the helm, Todd Cooney on his bumper at the restart. A couple of laps later, Cooney made his move into the lead and it was looking like smooth sailing to the finish as he pulled away. Enter another yellow flag at lap twelve...and who should now be in second, but young Spencer Diercks from Bettendorf, Iowa. Diercks, who had made the pass on Kile, for second, was now setting his sites on the leader on the restart. The race went clean the rest of the way to the black and white, and Cooney was digging for all his worth. But....so was Diercks! Diercks made the pass on the final lap on the way to the checkers, snatching the win! Cooney was left in second, Kevin Kile took third in a good battle with Andy Eckrich in fourth. Chad Cooney took the fifth spot. In the post race interview, Diercks, who is just sixteen years old, said this was just his second feature win in his young career, having scored #1 last year at Davenport.
There were still three features to go on this cold and blustery night. What? This was May 1st and slowly, slowly creeping across the state was a huge wintery storm front! We had been hearing all the various weather forecasts all day long, and we were hoping that it was as slow moving as they had said. Already, snow was inches deep in the northwest part of the state.
The SportMods went 15-laps. Jason McDaniel had this one covered almost from the drop of the green. AJ Johnson tormented him a bit early on. At the halfway mark, it was Tony Johnson that had now come to the heels of McDaniel, Eric Flander in third, and AJ Johnson, dropping back to run fourth. A yellow flew with three laps remaining, but the restart did not bother McDaniel, as he motored home to the checkers. Tony Johnson kept second, Eric Flander third and AJ Johnson fourth. and it was a close finish for fifth with Carter VandenBerg winning out over Ben Kates and Curtis VanDerWal.
The Stock Car feature was an easy win for the 33Z of Zack VanderBeek who did double duty on the night as he also jumped in the 5X Late Model piloted last year by Jeff Mitrisin. Randy Killen led the first seven laps but it was the orange 33Z coming fast. VanderBeek flew to the lead on lap eight and then drove off from his competitors. VanderBeek took the win followed Nathan Wood in second, Randy Killen held on to third place, fourth went to Jason Cook and Corey Stout took fifth place.
The die hearts were still sticking around for the final feature of the night, the IMCA Modifieds. The temperature showed 43 degrees, wind chill was 36, and the wind was out of the north at 23 mph. BUT...no rain or snow!! Bill Gibson enjoyed being the early race leader but by lap five, Todd Shute was putting the heat on the leader. A lap later, Shute took over first place, appearing hungry for getting a win in 2013 at the track. A restart situation at lap eight saw Jesse Sobbing making a bid for position, swinging around Gibson on the backstretch and into second. Two laps later, another yellow flew when several cars went scattering on the frontstretch, one of them being the driver out of Winnemucca, Nevada, Corey Samples, who found himself up against the guardrail right near the flagstand. This was what Sobbing was wanting, as just a lap or so after the restart, he was able to get by Shute, taking over the lead. Sobbing would then continue his lead to the checkers flying, taking the victory. Jacob Murray was able to get around Shute as they finished second and third. Cayden Carter worked his way skillfully up to finish fourth and Bill Gibson hung around the front of the pack and picked up fifth spot.
At this time, we turn our thoughts and prayers to driver Mark Widmar who was injured earlier in the evening when he was in an unavoidable collision with Andrew Schroeder's stopped car on the frontstretch. Mark was racing with a couple of other drivers and when they all came upon the stopped car, they all had but a split second to make a decision on where to go. Unfortunately, Widmar hit Schroeder's car and the impact was a hard one. Widmar was transported to the local hospital and we heard that he was going into surgery last night. We wish for him a quick and speedy recovery. Though it was a brief meeting in the grandstand a while back, we both remember him being a very congenial person. Wishing you the best Mark!
The track stayed surprisingly smooth with all of our finicky Spring weather, especially with all of the new dirt applied to the surface. Much diligent work by promoter Mike VanGenderen and his crew proved to be a bonus for the racing surface. The racing action was good, but it was still good to see the final checkers flying as putting up with Mother Nature's wintry blast on May 1st, just wasn't a pleasant nor comfortable experience. How those fans that came unprepared for our strange Iowa weather stuck it out, I don't know. As I write this, we have snow falling here in Grinnell, so I guess She isn't done with us yet!
We've already been getting cancellation notices from tracks around the state for racing this weekend, so it may be we are done for racing for this week. Next week at the Southern Iowa Speedway, the five regular classes will once again be in action, but the Hobby Stocks will be featured with a draw/redraw format and $400 to the winner. Happy racing...IF you can find one!
