Schmidt puts "Black Betty" back in Victory Lane
There was a definite chill in the air last night at Boone, and those not bringing along a sweatshirt or jacket, may have wished they had! There was no lack of hot racing however, as all classes got after it. According to my count, 134 cars came to play, some ending the night luckier than others.
They mixed the running order up a bit again last night. The first feature was the IMCA Hobby Stocks. A driver sealed his name in the Boone winner's book for the first time as Matthew Sorenson nabbed a victory. In doing so, he out lasted Aaron Rudolph who took the runner up spot. The only driver digging on the bottom was Eric Stanton and he made it work as he drove from starting eleventh, to capture third. Fourth was Norwalk, Iowa's Michael Powell and visiting driver from Bethany, Missouri, Lee Farmer made his trip worth while and got a top five finish. It appears that Stanton has taken over the point lead from Shannon Anderson by about a handful of points.
Veteran Ed Zehm put his #41Z Mod Lite into victory lane in their 15-lap race. Zehm, who started sixth, had the lead at lap seven when a red flag situation occurred. The 4L of Larry Sorenson took a tumble between turns three and four....in front of the approaching pack and nearly taking out the leader. Thankfully he was okay. They rolled him back over and he drove off into the pits. As the race got back underway, Zehm had company in the name of Josh May who sat directly behind him on the restart. Then two others joined in the fun as Andy Hennigar and Dusty Masolini ganged up on the leader as well. Zehm however was able to fend them all off and took the checkers first. Hennigar got to second, challenged the leader, but fell short and had to settle for second. Dusty Masolini was scored in third after getting around Josh May in fourth, in the closing moments. Travis Stensland rounded out the top five. Zehm scored a victory for the second time this year.
Johnathon Logue, son of veteran racer John Logue, led the pack in the first two laps of the 18-lap SportMod feature. Randy Roberts had other ideas though, as he took the top spot away at lap three. He was soon to be chased by Tonganoxie, Kansas driver, Ben Kates when he swung around Logue to snatch second. The drivers would stay in that order to the checkers flying...Roberts taking the win, Kates scoring the runner up spot and Logue held on to take third. Fourth was Rick Ringgenberg and Lynn Brockett was fifth. Roberts took his third win at Boone this year. Sixth place finisher, Eric Elliott continues to holds a nice lead in the points chase.
The Modifieds ran their usual 20-lap feature. Matthew Meinecke led this one the first three laps until Shay Woods, Humeston, Iowa driver, took over the helm. Kyle Brown took over second at lap five. At lap twelve, Meinecke gained the lead, but only for a brief moment as he lost the handle or had some issue with the car....we didn't see what happened, but he fell back. Wood got the lead back then, Brown in tow. The only car now trying the high side of the track, was Kyle Strickler, "The High Side Tickler" , driver out of North Carolina who has been racing in the area as of late. But as he tried his usual route up high, Jammin' Jimmy Gustin was putting excitement in the crowd as well, but he was choosing the lower path as he attempted to hold off Jon Snyder. Woods would hold off his charging competitors and score the win, his first this year. Kyle Brown held the runner up spot, Gustin who came from starting twelfth, took third, Snyder was fourth and Strickler took the fifth position. Gustin continues to hold the points. Second place in points going into the night was Scott Davis, who had trouble in hot laps, and did not run. Russ Dickerson now holds down second place in points.
Don't EVER go home without seeing the Stock Car feature! It is often one of, if not THE best feature of the night....in our humble opinion. Eric Brown held the advantage in this 18-lap affair until loosing the lead to Mike Goldsberry with a handful of laps in the book. Cory Bushnell got into the mix as well, as he held third spot. And who was that in fourth place but Donavon Smith who had started tenth and was really on the move. But then, my pen suddenly had the #19J in fifth jotted down as the cars passed the flagstand! Where the heck had he suddenly appeared from? A glance at the starting line up showed Jay Schmidt had started sixteenth, and he had "Black Betty", (as he affectionately calls his ride) on the move! The closing laps of this one were a dandy! Goldsberry continued to lead, but Smith had gotten to second and Schmidt into third. A three-wide battle down the back stretch was only the beginning of a spectacular finish. With two laps to go, Schmidt came off of corner four and swung to the lead around Smith who had briefly taken the point spot, but it was still going to be a shoot out to the checkers. Schmidt held on to that coveted top spot and scored the win, his fourth of the season, Goldsberry scraped hard to make it to second just ahead of Smith in third. Eric Brown hung around the front and scored fourth place as did Corey Bushnell in fifth.

Snyder, the Topside Terror, is on a tear!
What a change in the weather we had for racing on Friday night. Not only was it windy, but by the time racing was completed, most people....who had thought to bring one...had a sweatshirt or coat on! The racing action was anything but cool though, and one race was decided by less than a bumper, bringing the crowd to it's feet as the cars crossed the finish line.
The Sport Compact was won by a familiar face, just driving a different car. Merv Chandler, who has been driving his son Nathan's (or is it Brad's?) car as of late...his old #2 finally giving up the ghost, led by the time they hit corner one as the green fell. Last week's winner Dave Moorman hung close for several laps, but Chandler had no trouble in taking another of his numerous wins. Moorman kept the runner up spot, third was Alec Gill...driving the car normally piloted by John Gill, fourth was Chad Larson and fifth went to Joe Alday. This was win #7 for Chandler at the track this year.
The Mod Lite 15-lap feature went caution free. Dusty Masolini led the opening laps until "Busman" Mike Kennedy grabbed the lead by lap four. Meanwhile, it was Josh May charging hard from the back of the pack and getting to third on lap five. A couple of laps later, May made the pass for the lead and had no trouble in taking the win, his second in as many weeks at the speedway. Andy Hennigar followed May through the pack and took the runner up spot. Third went to Mike Kennedy, fourth was Mike Morrill and Dusty Masolini rounded out the top five. This was May's sixth win this year, tying him with Andy Hennigar as the two remain the only drivers with wins in the class.
There was a good battle in the 12-lap Hobby Stock Feature. Jacob Keiser held off Eric Stanton and Bill Bonnett in the opening laps. Stanton took over at lap four but continued to be dogged by Keiser and Bonnett. A yellow at lap eight, set up a shoot out to the finish. Stanton continued to lead but veteran Bill Bonnett was digging on the bottom hoping to make up ground. It wasn't to be on this night however, as Stanton took the win, and Bonnett had to settle for second. Keiser finished a close third, fourth was Gary Pfantz, and Jennifer Hulin, who rolled her car last week, took a top five finish. Stanton won for the second week in a row, his third over all.
The IMCA Northern SportMod feature was, as announcer Jerry VanSickle said, "action packed from the drop of the green, to the checkers". Veteran racer, Bill Hildreth led the first few laps but by lap four, Eric "Little E" Elliott had taken over from his fifth row starting spot. Elliott pulled away from the pack with Osky's Carter VanDenBerg now in second, giving chase. Not to be out done, Jenae Gustin now had her ride into the third spot and was doing battle with VanDenBerg as the laps wound down. The three cars crossed the finish line closely, but Elliott held his ground and took the win. VanDenBerg held off Gustin as they went second and third in that order. Fourth was Paul Nagle who came from starting fourteenth, and Ben Kates...who was listed on the line ups last night as "Kansas City Comb Over"...(there has to be a story behind that) hung around the front all night to finish in fifth. Elliott kept the repeat wins going by taking his second victory in as many weeks.
What an exciting IMCA Stock Car feature....as it often is. Tracy Gienger led the early laps but three others were on the hunt for that top spot...Derek Reimer, Jay Schmidt and Steve Meyer. All four drivers were seeking high and low for their best line, and Reimer found just that after a restart at lap eight. Reimer took the helm and now it was Gienger, Schmidt and Meyer jousting for second. Meyer dropped to the bottom and dug his way to the lead by lap twelve of the 18-lapper, Schmidt staying on the topside and taking second over Reimer. It wasn't over yet however, and as the two front runners came to the checkers, Schmidt made a last ditch effort, but fell just short by a bumper as Meyer took the win. Third went to Derek Reimer, Norm Chesmore came from row six to capture a fourth place finish, and Tracy Gienger completed the top five. Meyer got his second regular season win of the year, plus winning the Frostbuster.
The night's closer was the 20-lap IMCA Modified feature. The "Ground Pounders" per announcer Jerry V. The "Angry Bird" car of Ronn Lauritzen took over the top spot from early leader David Brown at lap four. Shortly after a restart at lap five, Jon "The Top Side Terror" Snyder had gotten to Lauritzen's tail, and the two crossed the flagstand in a virtual dead heat at lap eight. Snyder took the advantage with his usual topside line and continued his run there. Then Lauritzen had his hands full fending off Cayden "Gasman" Carter as the laps wound down. It was all Snyder however, as he took the checkers for the third time in a row, adding another victory to the list after his recent debut of his 2014 Harris. Lauritzen took second, Carter finished a close third, Mike "The Flying Dutchman" VanGenderen came to play after his promoting duties at Donnellson were called off due to rain, and finished fourth, and David Brown hung around the front to score a fifth place finish.
There's still plenty of weekend racing to be found out there. Try and get to a track of your choice and support our great sport. Happy Racing!

Last lap pass by Carter for the win!
What a beautiful evening it was to be sitting at a race last night! Finally! We heard comment after comment about it. The track was in beautiful condition as well and it made for some great racing at the Osky Monster Half-Mile.
There were seven Sport Compacts racing last evening. The winning driver was the usual outcome, but with a different car. Kevin Kirkpatrick led the race the first two laps, but then "tail end Charlie" starter, Merv Chandler, who was driving his son's #22 car last night, flew to the lead. It was all over then, as he motored off into the sunset from his nearest competitor. Kassidy Kirkpatrick finished a distant second, and a distant third was John Whalen. Fourth went to Kevin Kirkpatrick and Bill Whalen, Jr. finished fifth.
The IMCA Northern SportMod feature was a "no go" on the opening lap when Cory VanZante smacked the wall in corner one and Eric Flander and Jason McDaniel got caught up in it too. Only Flander was able to continue. When racing did get underway, young Brayton Carter led the troops through the first four laps until Curtis VanDerWal showed his usual prowess, and took over the lead. This was soon to be another one of those "that's all she wrote" runs, as VanDerWal pulled away from the pack and easily cashed in on another win. Carter VanDenBerg had a good run to capture second after he out distanced Brett Lowry in third. Fourth went to Brad Iverson and Eric Flander made a good recovery from the opening lap incident, to finish fifth. This was VanDerWal's seventh win of the season.
The Hobby Stock feature was also one of those "no goes" as the green flew initially. Travis Bunnell and Dale Porter went to the pits with that incident. Bobby Greene led the opening laps but veteran Bill Bonnett threw his hat into the mix, taking over the runner up spot at lap four. When a yellow flew at lap twelve of the 15-lap race, Dustin Griffiths was knocking at the door of Bonnet after getting to third. On the restart, it didn't take long for Griffiths to make his move around both cars, to take over the lead. He would then motor home to the win, his second in as many weeks and fourth over all. Bill Bonnett was the runner up. Bobby Greene crossed the finish line in third, but was later disqualified in tech with an illegal carburetor. This handed third over to Justin Hook. Fourth then went to Jason See and Steve Allen was fifth.
The 16-lap Modified feature was a dandy. Billy Davis, Jr. took over the helm from Brandon Banks at lap two, and was appearing to be on his way to victory #1 at Osky. Newcomer on the night, Randy Havlik, former Super National's champion, then made it interesting when he got to the runner up position. Hold on...then it was Cayden "The Gasman" Carter getting into the mix as well. At lap fourteen, Carter made his move when Havlik slipped a bit too high, got to second and began the quest for even more. Davis led as he took the white flag, but it was Carter taking the lead on the backstretch, and took the checkers first for the win. Davis had to settle for second, Havlik was third, fourth went to Brandon Banks, and Jacob Murray completed the top five. The race went flag to flag. This was Carter's second win at Osky this year, having won the weather-delayed opening race back on April 24.
The Stock Cars followed up with their own exciting race. Last week's winner Brad Pinkerton led the early laps, but a yellow at lap five erased his comfortable lead. There had been a battle for second place among Corey "from just across the street" Stout, Damon Murty, "The Chelsea Charger" and Todd Reitzler. Murty got the advantage on the restart, took the lead, and Reitzler followed suit. Pinkerton would be the one getting the bad end of the deal, as he appeared to have a flat, and excited the track, his race night done. From there on, it was a two-man race, with Murty and Reitzler giving the crowd its money's worth! Reitzler got to the topside and took the lead, but Murty would pull to the advantage going down the backstretch. This would continue for lap after lap, until Murty took final command of the top spot with a lap to go, securing his third win at the Southern Iowa Speedway this year. Reitzler finished as the runner up, third went to Donovan Nunnikhoven, who was back after being absent last week with what we heard was a damaged race car, fourth was Corey Stout and Kris Walker rounded out the top five.
The Iowa Sportsman Series was also on hand last night. The first 15-lap event run early was won by Kris Walker with Gene Tish taking second over Travis Dawson in third. The final session of the night was being run as we left.
Next week, July 31 will be another regular night of racing at the speedway. Then the track hands the reins over to the sprint cars as they come to town for the Front Row Challenge and the Ultimate Challenge on Monday August 5 and Tuesday August 6. There will be no regular Wednesday night racing at the track then until August 21. For info on the challenge races, check www.oskychallenges.com.
Find a race to enjoy somewhere. There's plenty yet to be found! Happy racing!

Boone Speedway hears Lyons roar in the Modified feature
It was Christmas in July at the Boone Speedway last night and a nice crowd was on hand for the festivities. Santa made an appearance and lots of gifts were handed out. The youngsters had a grand time but I bet Santa lost about 10 pounds as he sat in the heat with the kiddos on his knee!
There were several new drivers in attendance last night, some still hanging around the area after running the Harris Clash last Thursday, but others coming to perhaps "test the waters" for the fast approaching Super Nationals. At the end of the night, four drivers would go home with their first wins at Boone for 2013. We also noted the new dose of the famous---or as some would say, the infamous wood chips, in the track surface. Would this play a factor in the outcome of the racing? More on that later.
They mixed the features up again last night, sending the Hobby Stocks to the track to run their feature first on the freshly farmed track. Shaun Wirtz led the opening laps of the 12-lapper, Matt Hudspeth settling in behind in second. Tyler Pickett made his way into the runner up spot by lap eight and shortly after, took over the lead. With just a couple of laps remaining, it was Shannon Anderson, who had started in tenth place, was up for the final run to the checkers. Anderson's looks to the inside and outside didn't work on this night, as Pickett kept the lead and took the checkers first---Anderson having to be content with second. Shaun Wirtz had a good run and held third, fourth was Eric Stanton who charged through the pack from starting in row six, and Matt Hudspeth held on to round out the top five. This was Pickett's first win this season.
The Mod Lite feature was the only class that had a driver repeat an earlier win. Not surprisingly, that driver was Josh May. May, who started twelfth, had the lead by lap five of the 15-lapper, and never looked back.
Terry Brown chased the leader to earn himself a second place finish. Third went to Travis Stensland, Bryan Zehm, last week's winner, was fourth and the winner's dad Jimmy May finished fifth.
The 18-lap IMCA Northern SportMod feature didn't start off well. Before the first lap had been completed, pole sitter Michael Murphy appeared to get sideways coming out of corner three, which caused some grief behind him. The one getting the brunt of the situation was Cody Hennings, who rolled his #66 ride a couple of times. After a few anxious moments, Hennings emerged from the race car, unhurt. When action finally got started, Murphy, who has recently changed from Stock Car to the SportMod class, took off to the lead and had little trouble in keeping it to the finish and the win. Daniel Tasler chased Murphy nearly the whole race, but had to settle for second. Third was Paul Nagle who had a good run after starting fourteenth, fourth went to veteran racer Rick Ringgenberg and Cory Rose came from tenth to finish fifth.
Earlier in the Stock Car heats, the #9 of Jerry Gifford found himself tipped over in corner two. He lived to fight another day however, making repairs and and able to start the feature. The 18-lap A main was mostly a two-man show. Cory Bushnell got to the lead by lap three and Jay Schmidt got his car "Black Betty" up to second in just another lap or two. Then the chase was on! The two cars circled the track for many laps....Schmidt glued to the rear bumper of leader Bushnell. Schmidt peeked low, then high, and at only a brief moment of taking the lead going down the backstretch, he was right back to second. Most people were thinking this was going to be the entire show just between the two, but enter none other than the familiar #35 of Donavon Smith at lap twelve. Smith, who had damaged his car in the heat race had started at the rear of the feature, had flown through the pack and was in third. Smith was waiting for the moment to make his move and that came with two to go. He snatched second from Schmidt and the final couple of laps was a doozie! The three crossed closely at the checkers, Bushnell fending off Smith and Schmidt for the win. Fourth went to pole sitter Toby Smith and Trent Murphy came from mid pack to round out the top five.
This was Bushnell's first win at Boone since August 4 of last year.
Kelly Lyons had the field covered in the 20-lap Modified feature, and led the entire way, after getting the jump from his outside front row starting spot. Kyle Strickler, "The High Side Tickler" from Mooresville, North Carolina chased Lyons the whole way but was only able to watch the leader from a distance and finished second. Jammin' Jimmy Gustin showed his usual prowess, driving from starting twelfth to take third. Jake Durbin raced from tenth starting spot to capture a fourth place finish and Russ Dickerson rounded out the top five. Lyons took his first win at the track this year and my unofficial records showing for the first time since August of 2011.
I mentioned earlier that wood chips had been added to the track, as they always are about this time each year. It appeared that it made a difference in the drivers running non-crate motors. The highest finishing cars running those non-crate motors were as follows: Shaun Wirtz finished third in the Hobby Stocks, Daniel Tasler was second in the SportMod feature, and Kelly Lyons won in the Modified class.
We are taking a couple of days off after our five-night racing run, for a little R & R. We know many racing friends who are still going strong with their consecutive races---some having traveled long distances to take in their passion! There is still plenty of racing ahead before the season draws to a close. Find a race to attend and enjoy! Happy racing!

It's "The Top Side Terror" and "Black Betty at Marshalltown
The Marshalltown Speedway welcomed Racers Against ALS last night. The organization is not only raising funds and bringing awareness to the disease, but is also supporting fellow racer Keith Miner who is fighting ALS, known more commonly as Lou Gehrig's disease. Brad Banks, former Iowa Hawkeye football standout was on hand to sign autographs, chat with fans and to help raise funds for the event.
The Sport Compacts kicked the features off. Dave Moorman led the entire ten laps in taking the feature win. Merv Chandler wasn't able to overtake Moorman on this night, settling for the runner up spot. Third was John Gill, fourth Joe Alday and Chad Larson was fifth, but did not finish.
The MADCRA Mod Lite saw Jimmy May celebrating his birthday night by leading the feature in the opening laps. His son, Josh May wasted no time in getting to second to chase his dad. At the halfway mark, Josh May took over the top spot and sailed away. Mike Morrill got around Jimmy May and was on the hunt, but to no avail. Josh May won, his fifth of the year at Marshalltown, Morrill took the runner up spot, Jimmy May held on to third. Fourth place was Andy Hennigar and Randy Bryan rounded out the top five. Josh May and Andy Hennigar still remain as the only two Mod Lite drivers that have won at Marshalltown this year.
Johnathan Logue led the first lap of the SportMod A main before Jayme Duinink put his #777 into the lead. Brad Iverson made his way into second by lap four. The car on the move now was the 9E of Eric Elliott who had started eleventh and sat in third place at lap eight. Elliott wasn't content with that though. A yellow flew at lap eight and the restart was what Elliott was looking for. He swung to the lead by the following lap and kept it to the checkers, taking his second win at the track this year. Second went to Grinnell's Brad Iverson, Travis Peterson came from starting along side the winner in row six, to take third place. Fourth was Jenae Gustin who started in row five and Joel Rust, who started dead last, put his continuing "rental ride" in fifth.
The 12-lap Hobby Stock feature had Eric Larson holding off Eric Stanton for most of the first half of the race. Stanton made the pass to the lead in the latter portion, and held it to the checkers, scoring his second win at the speedway this year. Veteran Bill Bonnett got past Eric Larson as they finished second and third in that order. Brice Udelhoven crossed in fourth, but rumor has it that he was later disqualified for some infraction, handing fourth over to Austin Luellen. Scott Durlin rounded out the top five.
Eighteen laps were ahead for the Stock Cars as they rolled onto the track. The fans got their money's worth in this one as the two front runners went after it lap after lap. Jay Schmidt and his "Black Betty" ride, and Damon "The Chelsea Charger" Murty were going at it at lap one and it never ended. The two circled the track at the topside, Schmidt in the lead, and Murty planted firmly on his rear. Murty tried a peek to the low side now and then, and when it didn't work, went right back to chase Schmidt on the top. Schmidt took the win---his third in a row, and fifth of the year at the speedway---Murty had to be content with the runner up spot. Eric Knutson chased the leaders much of the race to take third. Fourth went to Chris Wiltse and Jeff Wollam, "The Dean" finished in fifth.
The night ending 20-lap Modified feature was a good one too. Kellogg's Zach Rawlins took charge at the drop of the green and was looking strong. Rawlins rode the rim of the track and had a stacked field of cars behind him doing the same thing. Cayden Carter got to second early from starting in seventh but was soon to be bothered by "The Topside Terror" Jon Snyder who had started in row five. Racer Hulin was making headway and in the top five as was visitor Darin Duffy riding in fourth after starting sixteenth. After a restart at lap thirteen, with Rawlin's still in command, Snyder took advantage and got the lead by the following lap. Another yellow flew at lap fifteen, setting up another shoot out scenario on the restart. Carter gave it a good shot in those final laps, but wasn't able to pull it off, Snyder getting the win, Carter taking the runner up spot. Third went to Zach Rawlins with one of his best runs of the season, Duffy scored the fourth spot, and the Angry Bird car of Ronn Laurtizen who started ninth, completed the top five. Snyder scored a win for the second week in a row.
It was another hot night at the races, our fourth in a row sitting in our typical July Iowa heat and humidity. Earlier, we were thankful for the northwesterly breeze helping us to cool off, even with eating a bit of dust. The Iowa weather changed during the night as the humidity lowered and things got a lot more comfortable.
We will head to Boone Speedway tonight, ending our five night run of racing, and then us seniors will be taking a couple of nights off for a little R & R. We will be right back to catching some racing action before long though, and we hope you too will be checking the racing calendar and taking in the action somewhere.
Happy racing!
