VanDenBerg nabs a win in a borrowed car at Marshalltown
Friday night, we had to duck a few raindrops AGAIN at the Marshalltown Speedway, but the track won out on this night. We were lucky, as we know that there were some pretty heavy downpours not far from the track...we drove through them to get there! The crowd also enjoyed an added bonus of the modified Gambler race--winner takes all--as well as seeing two new faces get to victory lane for the 2011 season.
The first feature was the Dwarf/Mod Lites. Eleven cars were on hand, but during hot laps, a visiting driver from Arizona, Mike Martin, caught fire and was eliminated for the night. He made the trip from Gilbert, Arizona along with Robert Mros who was able to start the feature.
James May led the 15-lap feature through lap six when a caution flew and bunched the field behind him. By lap eight, Andy Hennigar had made the pass to take the lead and Josh May followed him to take the second place. Hennnigar would then "slip up" a bit in turn four, and loose several spots. Josh May then pulled away from the field and took his seventh regular season win,--eight, counting the Frostbuster. Randy Bryan took second over James May in third place, Mike Morrill in fourth and Andy Hennigar in fifth.
The 12-lap IMCA Hobby Stock feature returned Kevin Fee to victory lane for the third time this season--fourth counting the Frostbuster. Brice Udelhoven took advantage of his pole starting position and led much of the race. Fee wasn't to be out done however, and made the pass on Udelhoven in the late laps, and then pulled away for the win. Udelhoven kept second, third went to Jennifer Hulin, fourth to Eric Larson, and Eric Knutson was fifth.
There was a little change in the format, as the IMCA Modifieds ran their 20-lap feature next. This was due to the fact that the finale of the evening would be the Modified Gambler race. Todd Shute made the pass on early leader Todd Conrad, but a couple of other drivers were coming fast--Jon Snyder and visitor for the night, Richie Gustin from Gilman, Iowa. Snyder took over the lead and with three laps to go, it was close racing behind with Gustin, Ronn Lauritzen, Shute, Jimmy Gustin and Josh Truman fighting for positions. Snyder took the win, Lauritzen ran a great race to finish in the runner up spot, Richie Gustin finished in third, fourth went to Todd Shute and Jimmy Gustin held off Josh Truman at the line, to take the fifth place--Truman finishing in sixth.
The IMCA Northern SportMods ran their 15-lap event next. Father-son duo of Zach and Tom Rawlins ran up front the first couple of circuits, but it was a quickly advancing Carter VanDenBerg taking the lead shortly thereafter. VanDenBerg, driving the borrowed car of Brett Lowry, came from starting ninth, and convincingly took his first win at the Marshalltown Speedway. Jared VanDeest finished in the runner up spot, third went to Doug Smith, Jenae Gustin was fourth and Dylan Book rounded out the top five.
The 18-lap IMCA Stock Car A main finished the feature racing. Last week's winner, Todd Reitzler, led the early race, but had issues in turn four and lost many positions--a look at his right rear tire after the race, showed a very shredded tire, though still inflated. The race then was between Jeff Wollam and point leader Trent Murphy. Wollam chose the lower line, while Murphy opted for the outside. Meanwhile, Tracy Gienger threw his hat in the ring as well as Jay Schmidt. At the end of 18 laps, it would be Jeff Wollam taking the checker first, followed closely by Gienger in second, Murphy in third and Schmidt in fourth. Damon Murty rounded out the top five. A happy Wollam in victory lane thanked his sponsors and praised his new car, thrilled to get the win after nearly three year's absence.
The added bonus of the evening was the battle among six IMCA modified drivers who raced for all the marbles in a "Gambler" race--the winner takes all the cash tossed in from the competing drivers. Jon Snyder had a successful night for sure, as after taking the feature win earlier, also out ran the others in the Gambler race. Luke Wanninger finished second, Richie Gustin third, fourth was Ronn Lauritzen and visitor Mike Jergens was fifth. Todd Shute had his night conclude on a sour note, as he slipped off of turn three, and rolled his #5 ride. He was okay.
Racing continues next week at the Marshalltown Speedway. Check out their website at www.marshalltownspeedway.com for more information. Happy racing!

Four straight for Carter at the Southern Iowa Speedway
The fans at the Southern Iowa Speedway on Wednesday night were able to sit in much more comfortable conditions from what has been the norm for a couple of weeks straight. And speaking of straight, Cayden Carter just keeps rolling along and chalking up the wins, grabbing his fourth-in-a-row at Osky.
The USRA B Modifieds started the feature action off. Curtis VanDerWal led the first few circuits. Cayden Carter moved quickly from starting tenth on the field, to take the lead by lap four. From there on, it was all Carter, who stretched his lead and motored home to his fourth straight feature win at the track. Carter, sporting a new flashy body on his #10 ride, nabbed his 22nd feature win in the 2011 season. Quite an accomplishment for the young man. Bill Gibson took the runner up spot, followed by Curtis VanDerWal in third, Carter VanDenBerg in fourth, and Andrew Schroeder rounded out the top five.
The USRA Modified 15-lap feature went flag-to-flag. The finish ended nearly the way it started as Zack VanderBeek shot to the lead from his pole starting position and cruised to his fourth win of the year at the Southern Iowa Speedway. Ron VerBeek, aka "RVB" finished a distant second. Colt Mather, caught VerBeek, but ran out of time for a real challenge and finished in third. Steven Blattler finished in fourth and last week's winner, Josh Truman was fifth. It didn't take long for the entire field of seven cars (Scott Dickey had mechanical problems and was not able to run) to be stretched out over half the track, and remaining so for most of the 15 laps.
The USRA Hobby Stocks were up next. Multi-time winner Dustin Griffiths rocketed to the lead from starting on the pole with Todd Reitzler having a few kisses off the fence but still managing to trail in second place--Kris Walker gave chase in third. A red flag situation on lap seven quieted the distinctive popping sound of the crate motors running up front, when Jared Sanders and Steve Allen ended up on their lids on the backstretch. Both drivers were okay. The restart put Kris Walker on Griffith's tail, Reitzler in third. Those three battled for a couple of laps, with Walker winning out and taking the lead. Walker took the win, his second of 2011 at Osky, with Griffith taking second, Reitzler in third, Jason "Mighty Mouse" McDaniel in fourth and I observed Nick Ulin nipping Craig Brown for fifth at the line. However, a question about a red light flickering on during that final lap may have caused some of the field to slow down, so a check of the official results will need to be checked out at www.raceosky.com. There was no red light situation.
Fifteen laps of the USRA Stock Car feature concluded the night's racing. Shane Weller took the win in convincing fashion, leading all but the first lap. Nathan Wood was the only one able to make the bottom of the track work, as he finally fought his way past Corey Stout and took over the second spot. At the finish, Weller won, Wood finished second, Brian Mitirsin battled past Stout at the finish as they took third and fourth in that order, and Kyle Harwood took fifth.
When we arrived at the track, we noticed the track was really dry, and no water truck in sight. When the truck did finally make an appearance, it barely moved, and then was "dead in the water". Eventually, with a little prodding, pulling and pushing, the truck was "activated" and was able to dump a minimum of water on the track before racing got under way. Announcer Tony Paris, told the crowd that the water truck had mechanical issues early in the day, a part was replaced, and then would still not run! Just another of the trials and tribulations of getting a show in!
There will be no regular Wednesday night racing for the next TWO weeks at the Monster Half-Mile at the Southern Iowa Speedway. However next week on Monday August 8, and Tuesday August 9, the Front Row Challenge and the Ultimate Challenge will be held. Check www.oskychallenges.com for complete information on these sprint warrior races that have become an annual tradition. The following Wednesday, August 17 will also be silent at the Southern Iowa Speedway as a little race will be going on down the road at Knoxville Raceway...something called the Knoxville Nationals. The final race of the regular season will then be held at Osky on August 24 when the season championships will be run.

Havlik grabs another win at Boone
We headed over to our regular home away from home on Saturday night, the Boone Speedway. Much of the evening was used detangling cars on the track, entertaining the crowd, but causing some costly repairs to the drivers. It was almost like a full moon night---with no full moon! You would have thought the drivers were going for BIG money or a Supernationals win at times.
The MADCRA Dwarf Car feature saw the bright yellow X50 of Joel Huggins lead nearly the entire 15-lap event, taking his first win of 2011 at the speedway. Andy Hennigar tried his best to catch Huggins, but had to settle for second place on this evening. Jason Whitehead finished in third place, fourth went to Travis Stensland and fifth to last week's winner, Joel Keenan. The race went flag-to-flag.
The IMCA Northern SportMods ran next for their 18-lap event. Tara Longnecker was looking strong, leading past the halfway mark. By lap ten, Daniel Tasler had grabbed the lead from Longnecker and continued it on to the checkers. Tasler took his second win on the season.
Second place went to Geoff Olson who had started in eleventh place. Eric Elliott was third, fourth went to Clint Luellen, and point leader Scott Davis came from thirteenth to finish in fifth. Longnecker held on for a sixth place finish.
Joel Bushore was like a rocket in the 20-lap IMCA Modified feature, leading the pack through lap ten, pulling away even after cautions bunched the field and the ensuing restarts. An incident in turn one would end that when Bushore spun, gathering several cars behind him, allowing others to take the high road out of danger and continue on. Intense battling would then be between Mike VanGenderen, Randy Havlik, Jimmy Gustin, and Josh Gilman for the top spots. VanGenderen suffered a flat tire, taking him out of the equation with three laps remaining, but the others battled on. Havlik grabbed the prize, holding off Jimmy Gustin at the checkers to take his third win of 2011. Gustin, who finished as runner up, was followed closely by Josh Gilman in third, Russ Dickerson got in on the action to finish fourth, and Jake Durbin rounded out the top five.
The Class too Tough to Tame, the IMCA Stock Cars, brought it to the track next for their 18-lap A main. Josh Daniels looked to be headed to victory lane, taking advantage of his pole starting spot. Daniels led from the start, withstanding the threats of Robert Stofer, Jerry Gifford and Alan VanGorp, who was running the high line in an attempt to gain positions. VanGorp's charge ended when he wound up at a stand still between turns one and two, ending his chances for a top finish. Jerry Gifford made his way past Stofer to pick up second place and was gaining rapidly on leader Daniels. Gifford edged past Daniels on the white flag lap, and just held him off at the checkers, capturing his third feature win of the season. Robert Stofer finished in the third spot, Wayne Gifford, brother of the winner, came home in fourth, and Jay Schmidt came from starting eighteenth, to finish in fifth.
The night was polished off with the running of the IMCA Hobby Stock 12-lap feature. This race too had it's early incidents--one of which found Marcus Kyle upside down on the backstretch with Matt Wahlert up against him. Both drivers were okay. Jay Arends, Robert Smith and Matt McDonald all held the lead briefly in the very early laps, but to few people's surprise, it was the familiar #4W of John Watson who took over the helm at lap seven. Newcomer for the year, Scott Pippert from Elberon, came from starting twelfth to briefly challenge Watson to no avail. Watson took the win, his sixth on the regular season, seventh including the Frostbuster, and Pippert had to settle for second. Scott Lograsso came from fifteenth to take third, Michael Murphy came from winning the B main to finish fourth, and Matt McDonald rounded out the top five.
Racing continues next week at the Boone Speedway, with grandstand opening at 6, hot laps at 6:45 and races at 7:30. More information may be found at www.raceboone.com. Until next time, happy racing!
The MADCRA Dwarf Car feature saw the bright yellow X50 of Joel Huggins lead nearly the entire 15-lap event, taking his first win of 2011 at the speedway. Andy Hennigar tried his best to catch Huggins, but had to settle for second place on this evening. Jason Whitehead finished in third place, fourth went to Travis Stensland and fifth to last week's winner, Joel Keenan. The race went flag-to-flag.
The IMCA Northern SportMods ran next for their 18-lap event. Tara Longnecker was looking strong, leading past the halfway mark. By lap ten, Daniel Tasler had grabbed the lead from Longnecker and continued it on to the checkers. Tasler took his second win on the season.
Second place went to Geoff Olson who had started in eleventh place. Eric Elliott was third, fourth went to Clint Luellen, and point leader Scott Davis came from thirteenth to finish in fifth. Longnecker held on for a sixth place finish.
Joel Bushore was like a rocket in the 20-lap IMCA Modified feature, leading the pack through lap ten, pulling away even after cautions bunched the field and the ensuing restarts. An incident in turn one would end that when Bushore spun, gathering several cars behind him, allowing others to take the high road out of danger and continue on. Intense battling would then be between Mike VanGenderen, Randy Havlik, Jimmy Gustin, and Josh Gilman for the top spots. VanGenderen suffered a flat tire, taking him out of the equation with three laps remaining, but the others battled on. Havlik grabbed the prize, holding off Jimmy Gustin at the checkers to take his third win of 2011. Gustin, who finished as runner up, was followed closely by Josh Gilman in third, Russ Dickerson got in on the action to finish fourth, and Jake Durbin rounded out the top five.
The Class too Tough to Tame, the IMCA Stock Cars, brought it to the track next for their 18-lap A main. Josh Daniels looked to be headed to victory lane, taking advantage of his pole starting spot. Daniels led from the start, withstanding the threats of Robert Stofer, Jerry Gifford and Alan VanGorp, who was running the high line in an attempt to gain positions. VanGorp's charge ended when he wound up at a stand still between turns one and two, ending his chances for a top finish. Jerry Gifford made his way past Stofer to pick up second place and was gaining rapidly on leader Daniels. Gifford edged past Daniels on the white flag lap, and just held him off at the checkers, capturing his third feature win of the season. Robert Stofer finished in the third spot, Wayne Gifford, brother of the winner, came home in fourth, and Jay Schmidt came from starting eighteenth, to finish in fifth.

Short field, quick show at Osky
The Monster 1/2 Mile at the Southern Iowa Speedway was light on car count Wednesday night, as we had anticipated---only 39 total cars; 4 modifieds. The heat hasn't helped the car or crowd count lately, nor has the economy, plus there were several other races going on in the area. One of those being the big race up at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota--the World Modified Dirt Track Championship--a 4-day show paying $20,000 to win the Saturday feature race. That being said, it still only drew a couple of modified drivers away from the Osky track on Wednesday evening.
Josh Truman came away with the win in the USRA modified feature--the first we can recall for him at the Southern Iowa Speedway. Ron VerBeek finished as runner up, Steven Blattler was third, and Scott Dickey was fourth.
The USRA stock car feature had Shane Weller leading the pack for the first nine laps. On the backstretch on lap nine, Kyle Harwood made the pass to take over the lead and would go home to the win. Weller had to settle for second, Steve Jackson was third, fourth went to Brian Mitrisin, and Corey Stout--"from just over by turn one" as announcer Tony Paris always says, finished in fifth.
The USRA hobby stocks ran next. Jason McDaniel took off to the lead from his outside front row starting spot. After winning four-in-a-row, Dustin Griffiths was trying to make it number five. Griffiths, after starting 8th on the grid, was into the second spot by lap two and it was looking like that might just come true. It didn't happen, as McDaniels pulled away to seal the win. Griffiths had to settle for the runner up position, Kris Walker trailed him for third, fourth went to Steve Allen, and Donovan Nunnikhoven rounded out the top five.
The USRA B modifieds polished off the night's racing. Cayden Carter flew to his sixth win at the track this season, leading all 15 laps. Carter pulled away after a restart at nine laps down. Andrew Schroeder finished a distant second, Carter VanDenBerg took third place, Bill Gibson was fourth and Brett Lowry was fifth.
The races were done by 9:23 p.m., being run in less than two hours. Full official results and information on the Southern Iowa Speedway can be found at www.raceosky.com. There is still a lot of racing left in the season. Check out the calendar at Positively Racing for a race you may wish to catch in the area...support the sport of dirt track racing. Happy racing!
