The hot and muggy July weather continued on Saturday at the Boone Speedway. This was the first time this season, that there were no new winners in any of the five classes. John Logue matched his win in the IMCA Modified division from last week, and the Stock Car class once again, left the crowd on the edge of their seats.
The Mod Lites found Travis Stensland stepping back into the winner's circle. Stensland got to the lead by lap two of the 15-lap feature, and would never give it up. He won well ahead of second place Bryan Zehm. Third went to Justin Rankin, who had been the pole sitter, fourth was Randy Bryan and Charlie Brown completed the top five. This was Stensland second win at the track this year. It was also his second win in as many nights, as he had won the previous night in Marshalltown.
The IMCA Northern SportMod 18-lap feature came next. Brian Miller led this one past the halfway mark. He had Chad Ryerson bothering him for many of those laps. Ryerson's persistence paid off on lap twelve, taking the lead just as they raced passed the flagstand. Miller fought back, regained the lead momentarily, only to fall back to second. Ryerson kept the lead to the checkers and the win, Miller held on to second place. It was a real dogfight for third through fifth spots. Jake McBirnie came from starting tenth to finish third, Curtis Veber was fourth and Rick Ringgenberg was fifth. This was Ryerson's second win at Boone.
Brandon Pitts led the charge in the 12-lap IMCA Hobby Stock feature. He immediately had Dustin Lynch looking for a way around him. A yellow flew at lap four, and when things picked back up, Lynch made the move to the point position. He held that lead the rest of the distance to the finish and the waving checkers. Finishing a distant runner up was eighth place starter Dustin Graham, twelfth place starter Matt McDonald was third, Shawn Wirtz crossed the finish line in fourth, and Brandon Potts in fifth. A post race inspection deemed Wirtz with an illegal carburetor, and disqualified. This would move Potts up to fourth place and Aaron Rudolph to fifth. This was Lynch's second win of the year.
There was a lot of action going on in the 20-lap IMCA Modified A main. Devin Havlik held down the top spot, fending off Cole Ferguson through lap six. Ironically, we heard that these two young competitors will be roommates for college this fall. By that time, veteran John Logue had taken third running spot, and appeared to be on a mission. He moved to the runner up spot the following lap. On lap eight, the yellow flew, putting Logue tightly behind the leader for the restart. The veteran made the move to lead at lap nine and from there, pulled away to a comfortable lead, taking the easy win. Tony Cox kept his machine at the front of the pack all race long, and finished in second. Third place went to Mike VanGenderen who had started eleventh, Cole Ferguson was fourth and Jon Snyder was fifth. Early leader Havlik dropped out with mechanic issues on lap eleven while running second. Logue made it two in a row at Boone, and marked his third win of the season.
Last week was a thrilling contest in the IMCA Stock Car class. This week matched it, and again, if anyone left, they missed a great race. This class puts on one of the best, if not THE best show, week in and week out.....showing just why they are called "The Class too Tough to Tame".
The 18-lap feature had tight racing throughout the entire race. Craig Carlson led the opening laps but Tyler Pickett was quickly on his tail, and eighth place starter Wayne Gifford followed to take third running position. A yellow flew at lap four, bunching the field for the restart. When racing resumed, Pickett wasted no time in taking over first place, and Gifford muscled his way to second around Carlson. There was a lot of jockeying for spots going on just a bit further back as Rod Richards, Jay Schmidt and Donavon Smith were duking it out. Leader Pickett would have his night end on lap six when his car came to a stop at the top of the track with right front woes. More on that later. When a yellow flew on lap seven, Gifford was running at the front of the pack....inheriting the lead when Pickett went out. Richards was second, Schmidt had now made it to third, Carlson was fourth and Smith lurked in fifth. The remaining way to the checkers was a near blur of cars as they passed in front of the grandstand.....Gifford leading at moments, Richards at others. There was a little "rubbing is racing" moments during those final laps. Richards was able to take the lead with three laps remaining, and kept it as he crossed the finish line for the win. It's a good thing the cars have transponders....as I am sure many watching had differing opinions on who finished where behind the leader. Donavon Smith was scored second, making it all the way from starting sixteenth, third went to tenth place starter Jay Schmidt, Wayne Gifford finished fourth and early leader Carlson, rounded out the top five. "Hot" Rod Richards won for the second time this year at Boone.
I mentioned earlier the issues that Tyler Pickett had with his car. The previous night in Marshalltown, he suffered significant damage. We saw that the thrashing to get repairs completed were already starting in the Marshalltown pits. We heard that they worked most of the night and the next day, in order to have it ready to race last night---the crew going on only a couple of hours of sleep. Pickett, in his first year in the Stock Car class, moving up from the Hobby Stocks, is leading national IMCA rookie points, racing a car we have heard, previously piloted by Corey Stout from Oskaloosa, who is not racing this year. When Pickett had his issues tonight while leading, the front right either gave out before he made contact with the wall, or broke when he hit it. Either way, what a disappointing night for the rookie having such a great year.
Regular racing continues next Saturday at Boone where it will be "Carnival" night....lots of fun activities for the youngsters in addition to a full night of racing. Hot laps are 6:45 and racing at 7:30.

Irvine, Jaennette, Hilmer, Pfantz and Stensland share victory lane on Shawn's Custom Hay Grinding Night at the Marshalltown Speedway
July 24, 2015
Despite Mother Nature's attempt to foil the racing with rain earlier in the day, the scheduled program at the Marshalltown Speedway went on as usual Friday night, where it was Shawn's Custom Hay Grinding Night. A driver who hadn't seen victory lane in quite some time, stepped back into the winner's circle in the IMCA Hobby Stock class while all other classes found repeat winners.
The Mod Lite's ran their 15-lap feature caution free. Travis Stensland got to the lead early and held that top spot the rest of the way to the checkers. Finishing a close second was point leader Josh May, third went to Mike Morrill, fourth was Charlie Brown and Randy Bryan rounded out the top five.
The 18-lap IMCA SportMod feature went to Curt Hilmer. Hilmer had to fight through a tightly bunched pack of cars, taking over the top spot on lap eleven. He would have to withstand five yellows in the race on his way to securing his second feature win of the season. Jared VanDeest, who was unable to run his heat, started 18th, and finished in second place. Third was first time visitor to the track, Lyle Sathoff from Adel, who had started in the twelfth position, fourth went to Jonathan Logue, and veteran driver Bill Hildreth was fifth.
Gary Pfantz saw the checkers flying first in the 15-lap IMCA Hobby Stock A main event. It would be the first time in recent years that Pfantz has won at the Marshalltown Speedway. Following him across the finish line in second was Tim Barber. Third went to Mitchell Thomas, fourth was Brandon Pitts and Dillon Million completed the top five.
Michael Jaennette made it two in a row in the IMCA Stock Car class. Jaennette started seventh and snatched the lead at lap four, keeping it to the checkers and the win. Finishing a close second was Steve Meyer. Meyer had to jump in a back up car, that of Jay Schmidt, after suffering damage to his own car in the heat. Todd Reitzler started tenth and finished in third, fourth went to Tim Fobian, and fifth was Jeff Wollam. Jeannette also won on opening night, making this his third trip to the winner's circle at Marshalltown this season.
The racing ended with the 20-lap IMCA Modified feature. Brian Irvine would see a return to Victory Lane from his win a few week's ago. Irvine won comfortably over second place finisher Josh Gilman. Jimmy Gustin was third, followed closely by Ronn Lauritzen in fourth and Jake Strayer finished in fifth.
There was also a "spectator eliminator" challenge after the features. It was the Mustang beating out the Oldsmobile Alero in the final go around.
Next week, Open Quads will be an addition to the five regular classes. Hot laps are 6:50 and racing at 7:30.

Dollansky dominates at Iowa State Fair Speedway
The Southern Iowa Speedway was silent on Wednesday night, so we took advantage of that and took in the National Sprint Car League 410 race at the Iowa State Fair Speedway. The 305's were also running. It's rare that the track runs during the week.....and rarer yet for us to attend just a sprint car race. But, with rumors swirling, especially since there are no races at the Iowa State Fair this year, we wanted the opportunity to be sitting at the nostalgic 1/2 mile that has so much history and holds such fond memories of days gone by, at least once again.
We arrived early and since we had learned (thanks to social media) that some loyal race fans were holding a cook out and inviting friends and fans to stop by, we did so. Thanks Craig and Justin for the hot dogs, conversation and hospitality!
Then it was into the grandstand. We immediately ran into the gang from Speed Shift TV and just had to have a chat with them. We were also happy to hear the familiar voice of Jeff Broeg who announced the 305's, sharing mic time with Tony Bokhoven who did the 410's.
We were glad we had purchased our tickets when we first arrived, as later the line for the ticket window was enormous. The grandstand filled with fans.....a great crowd on hand. This race marked the first time in 16 years that the 410 sprints have set rubber on the track.
It was also a night when a late racer was honored that had won many, many times at Des Moines. Danny Young, the young man who piloted the 3Y car and who tragically lost his life 20 years ago at Knoxville, was remembered and his life celebrated with family, friends and fans.
The 305's ran a 15-lap feature. Prior to that...they ran three heats. The start did not go well, as Todd Holliman, who started on the outside of the front row, went into spin mode entering turn one, tipping on his side. When the race was finally restarted, it was the 5X of Jason Martin taking command. Martin never gave that spot up on his way to the checkers and the win. Tyler Thompson, who started eighth, ran in the runner up spot until losing it to Clint Benson at lap eight. Benson would try closing the gap on the leader, but was not able to garner more than a runner up spot. Third went to Thompson, fourth was seventh place starter, Robby Wolfgang (son of famed racer Doug Wolfgang who was wrenching for his son last night) and Matt Moro started ninth, and rounded out the top five.
There were 18 cars in each of the two classes last evening. The 410's time trialed and they ran three heat. The eight fastest in time trials, ran a dash to determine their running order. Those drivers were Brooke Tatnell, Craig Dollansky, Bryan Clauson, Bill Balog (who had just won the previous night at the Hancock County Speedway in Britt) Danny "The Dude" Lasoski, Lynton Jeffrey, Brian Brown, and Tim Kaeding. Craig Dollansky would win this one and take the pole for the 20-lap feature.
Dollansky jumped to the immediate lead, distancing himself from the rest of the field. The only yellow flew at lap four, bunching the field and putting fourth place starter Brian Brown on his tail, Brooke Tatnell was in third. Brown tried running down Dollansky but it was not to be as Dollansky took the win, Brown going second. Third went to Brooke Tatnell, fourth was seventh place starter, Danny Lasoski and fifth place starter, Tim Kaeding was fifth.
It was an enjoyable night, sitting in the comfort of the big old State Fair grandstand. We are glad we made the trip to get a mid-week racing fix.
Many specials going on now. Be sure and check the calendar of event at Positively Racing and find a race or two to attend. Thanks for reading!

Logue and Logue log wins at Boone
The July heat and humidity continued on Saturday for racing at the Boone Speedway. Father and son won in the Modified and SportMod divisions, and a driver in the Stock Car class, surprisingly won for the first time this year in what turned out to be a dandy of a three car shoot out.
Mod Lites ran their feature first and it was Chargin' Charlie Brown with the win. Brown led by lap two after passing Justin Rankin, and he would then sail home to the victory in the caution free race. He won comfortably over Cory Sauerman in second, Josh May, point leader, in third, last week's winner Bryan Zehm in fourth, and Randy Bryan in fifth. This was Brown's second win of the year.
The IMCA Northern SportMods had Curtis Veber and rookie Cory Pistotnik leading the pack of cars in the first couple of laps. Eighth place starter Jonathan Logue was quick to throw his hat into the ring and by lap four, he was looking for a way around leader Veber. The two raced side by side for a couple of laps with Logue able to take the lead on lap six. Logue began stretching out his lead, looking comfortable with his run at the front. When a yellow flew at lap fourteen, that distance was erased, bunching the cars for the restart. Veber was still holding second place but Brandon Williams and Jake McBirnie had been steadily moving forward, and now running third and fourth. McBirnie quickly took advantage of the closed gap when the race went green, taking over second place, but Veber and Williams hanging tough. Logue wasn't to be denied on this night however, and would continue on to the checkers and the win. McBirnie, point leader, finished as the runner up, and third went to Williams. Fourth and fifth place finishers, Randy Roberts and Doug Smith also took advantage of the late race restart situation to better their finishes. Jonathan Logue won for the third time this year at Boone.
It was the usual 12-lap feature for the IMCA Hobby Stocks. Last week's winner Bryan Keeney, who had earned his first career win, was looking early to repeat. Andrew Burg had other ideas however. Burg quickly took his ride from starting tenth to second to challenge Keeney by lap three. Three laps later, Burg, (known as "the Burglar" and sporting a new look with a masked burglar cartoon on the side) took over the top spot. From there on, he stretched out his lead and took the easy win. It was a different story behind him however! There was a pack of six cars fighting for all their worth. Keeney was able to hang on to the runner up spot, Eric Stanton increased his point lead with a third place finish, fourth went to Dustin Lynch, fifth was Seth Janssen and a close sixth was Dustin Graham. Burg has scored four wins at Boone this year, including the Memorial Day special.
A few traveling IMCA Modified drivers were on hand that had made the trip in anticipation of running the canceled Harris Clash last Thursday. Kyle Strickler, the North Carolina driver known as the "High Side Tickler", Tim Ward out of Gilbert, Arizona, and Jason Batt, from Killeen, Texas were in the house. Two of those drivers, Strickler and Ward had been in the area prior to the scheduled Harris Clash, and had been having successful runs in the area. Last night, not so much.
The 20-lap Modified feature did not get off to a good start when Kyle Strickler and Kent Croskey made it a "no go" as they sat dead in the water due to an incident in turn one. When things did get going, Devin Havlik shot to the lead. Havlik kept the top spot until lap four when veteran John Logue took over. Logue was gone, stretching out a healthy lead until a caution flew at lap sixteen when Denny Pittman spit out a drive shaft.....negating Logue's 4 second lead. The final four laps saw Logue deny any real threats, taking his ride to the checkers and the win. Mike VanGenderen took second after starting ninth, Joel Bushore was third, fourth went to eleventh place starter, Richie Gustin, and Scott Davis was fifth. Jimmy Gustin continues to lead points, but with a 21st place finish last night, the gap is tightening between him and second place Scott Davis.
If anyone left before the final race of the night---the IMCA Stock Cars, you missed a dandy! Once again, the Class too Tough to Tame came shining through. Matt West from Kellerton, Iowa put his ride to the front from his fourth place starting within the first few laps. By lap six, tenth place starter Donavon Smith was on his tail, and eleventh place starter, Jay Schmidt was running third. From there on, those three cars put on a thrilling show for the fans! They raced the rest of the caution free race, in a side by side battle. At times, the only determining factor in positions was determined by the transponders as they crossed the buried finish line. Most of the time, it was the 31X of Matt West showing as leader on the scoreboard, Jay Schmidt sneaked into second place at times, but on the final lap, it was the 35 of Donavon Smith making it to the finish line first, snatching up the win. Schmidt took the runner up spot, maintaining a slim three point margin over Smith in the points battle, and Matt West was third. Not far behind in fourth was veteran Robert Stofer, and first time visitor this season was Todd Reitzler from Grinnell in fifth.
It's back to regular weekly racing next Saturday night, July 25 at the Boone Speedway. Hot laps are 6:45 and racing at 7:30. An announcement was made this past week that the weekly points racing will end with the running of the season championship on August 29th. Then....the following week, September 5, will be an "open" night of racing being called the "Prelude to the Super Nationals". It's expected to have an abundance of drivers in all IMCA classes getting in a little trial run before the Super Nationals begin on the following Monday, Labor Day, September 7. How quickly that time is approaching!
Check out the calendar at Positively Racing for a race you may want to attend in the upcoming weeks. There are more than a few specials in our area. We need to keep supporting the sport of dirt track racing. Thanks for reading.

Strickler strikes at Marshalltown
The hot, humid July weather was in full force on Friday night for the races at the Marshalltown Speedway. Nearly 100 cars came to play in the oppressive weather. Several traveling drivers who had been in the area for the canceled Harris Clash stuck around and came to the high banked 1/4 mile. The Modifieds were racing for $1,000 and a chance to put their name on the Fast Shafts Qualifiers ballot for the 2015 Super Nationals. The Hobby Stocks were racing for an increased pay of $400 to win.
The Mod Lites ran their main event first. Josh May went home with the title to this one. May led from lap seven after getting around early leaders Mike Morrill and Travis Stensland and motored home untouched the remaining way to the checkers and the win. Stensland finished in the runner up spot, Randy Bryan was third, Mike Morrill fought back to a fourth place finish after recouping from a spin early in the race and having to tag the field, and Jason Whitehead was fifth. May got his fifth win at Marshalltown this season.
The fans, and drivers both suffered through the 18-lap SportMod feature. Eight yellows plagued this race. The fans at least had a breeze to help with the heat and humidity, but those drivers in their fire suits must have been miserable! When it was finally all said and done, it was Sam Wieben standing in Victory Lane. Wieben passed Jayme Duinink by lap three, and from there on held it to the checkers. Wieben threw off the challenges of Jared VanDeest who finished in second place. Third went to "Mighty Miss" Jenae Gustin who had started in row five, fourth was Travis Peterson and Jason Hall came from row six to garner a fifth place finish. Wieben won for the first time since season championship night back in August of 2013.
The Hobby Stock 15-lap feature went to John Watson. Watson pestered leader Andy Hick from lap three, finally getting around for the lead just after lap ten went in the books. Watson held that lead the rest of the way to the finish and the win. Hick held second place, third went to Eric Stanton, fourth was Austin Luellen and Tyson Overton rounded out the top five. Watson finally broke the string of only Luellen and Stanton winning at Marshalltown in the division for 2015. Watson went home $400 richer thanks to extra sponsor money for the class.
Michael Jaennette got back on track and back in the winner's circle in the IMCA Stock Car class by taking the glory in that 18-lap feature. Jaennette started sixth and took the runner up spot behind leader Tyler Pickett when lap two was scored. By lap four, Jaennette was in command. He would continue his run at the front the remaining distance to the checkers and score the win. A hard charging Donavon Smith tried running down the leader but had to settle for second on this night. Third went to Dave Atcher, fourth to early leader Tyler Pickett and rounding out the top five was Steve Meyer. This was Jaennette's second win, his first since opening night of the 2015 track season.
There were 29 IMCA Modifieds on hand last night. It was a draw/redraw format and a $1,000 for the winner. By luck of the draw, Californian Ethan Dotson and North Carolinian, Kyle Strickler sat on the front row for the start of the 25-lap feature.
Strickler took the lead at the drop of the green, and when the first of seven yellow flags flew on lap two, Eric Elliott was tucked into second for the restart. More contenders were making head way behind the front two as well, as Jon Snyder, Ronn Lauritzen and Tim Ward from Arizona were battling it out. Strickler had no trouble in hang on to his lead however, and took the $1,000 back to North Carolina. The final laps were a battle for top positions behind him however. The "Frozen" car of eighth place starter Ronn Lauritzen won the joust for the runner up spot. Lauritzen had to battle back past third place Ward who started eleventh and fourth place Josh Gilman, who started fifteenth, in the final three laps. Fifth place was hard charging Jimmy Gustin who had started 26th.
Several other drivers made a lot of headway in the Modified feature as well. Scott Simotavich started thirteenth and finished sixth, Richie Gustin started seventeenth and was seventh after tagging the field when involved in a yellow at lap five, and 27th and last place starter Kyle Brown was eighth.
Racing continues next Friday night at the Marshalltown Speedway, with hot laps at 6:50 and racing at 7:30. It was also announced last night, that the Late Models will be visiting the high banks on August 14 and 21. Mark your calendars Late Model fans!
The Mod Lites ran their main event first. Josh May went home with the title to this one. May led from lap seven after getting around early leaders Mike Morrill and Travis Stensland and motored home untouched the remaining way to the checkers and the win. Stensland finished in the runner up spot, Randy Bryan was third, Mike Morrill fought back to a fourth place finish after recouping from a spin early in the race and having to tag the field, and Jason Whitehead was fifth. May got his fifth win at Marshalltown this season.
The fans, and drivers both suffered through the 18-lap SportMod feature. Eight yellows plagued this race. The fans at least had a breeze to help with the heat and humidity, but those drivers in their fire suits must have been miserable! When it was finally all said and done, it was Sam Wieben standing in Victory Lane. Wieben passed Jayme Duinink by lap three, and from there on held it to the checkers. Wieben threw off the challenges of Jared VanDeest who finished in second place. Third went to "Mighty Miss" Jenae Gustin who had started in row five, fourth was Travis Peterson and Jason Hall came from row six to garner a fifth place finish. Wieben won for the first time since season championship night back in August of 2013.
The Hobby Stock 15-lap feature went to John Watson. Watson pestered leader Andy Hick from lap three, finally getting around for the lead just after lap ten went in the books. Watson held that lead the rest of the way to the finish and the win. Hick held second place, third went to Eric Stanton, fourth was Austin Luellen and Tyson Overton rounded out the top five. Watson finally broke the string of only Luellen and Stanton winning at Marshalltown in the division for 2015. Watson went home $400 richer thanks to extra sponsor money for the class.
Michael Jaennette got back on track and back in the winner's circle in the IMCA Stock Car class by taking the glory in that 18-lap feature. Jaennette started sixth and took the runner up spot behind leader Tyler Pickett when lap two was scored. By lap four, Jaennette was in command. He would continue his run at the front the remaining distance to the checkers and score the win. A hard charging Donavon Smith tried running down the leader but had to settle for second on this night. Third went to Dave Atcher, fourth to early leader Tyler Pickett and rounding out the top five was Steve Meyer. This was Jaennette's second win, his first since opening night of the 2015 track season.
There were 29 IMCA Modifieds on hand last night. It was a draw/redraw format and a $1,000 for the winner. By luck of the draw, Californian Ethan Dotson and North Carolinian, Kyle Strickler sat on the front row for the start of the 25-lap feature.
Strickler took the lead at the drop of the green, and when the first of seven yellow flags flew on lap two, Eric Elliott was tucked into second for the restart. More contenders were making head way behind the front two as well, as Jon Snyder, Ronn Lauritzen and Tim Ward from Arizona were battling it out.

HDT win to Shryock at the Southern Iowa Speedway
We drove through sprinkles the entire way to the Southern Iowa Speedway yesterday. There were still light sprinkles when we arrived, but promoter Mike VanGenderen said he was confident they could get the races in. Radar showed the cell was passing and drivers and fans alike were crossing their fingers it would happen.
With the "night before the Harris Clash", IMCA Modified drivers from all over came to try and tame the Monster 1/2 mile. Eight states were represented plus a driver from Australia. More on that later.
Thirty-two Modifieds competed, 22 qualified through heats and B's, and two provisionals were added.
A check of radar and the call was made to run the Hawkeye Dirt Tour for IMCA Modifieds early. It was a good call and by the reaction from the crowd, much appreciated. They ran a 25-lap feature. Ricky Thornton, the driver from Chandler, Arizona was the lucky recipient of the pole position through the redraw. Jason Murray sat along side him on row one. Directly behind the pole sitter was long time racer Kelly Shryock.
Thornton took the initial lead, but when a yellow flew at lap three, it was veteran Kelly Shryock in command and now "the high side tickler" Kyle Strickler was on his tail. Another yellow flew just two laps later, with Shryock still maintaining the top spot and Strickler still in second. From there on the race would go green to the checkers. Shryock kept that coveted lead, taking the checkers and the win. Strickler finished as the runner up, but not without a battle with eighth place starter Cayden Carter. Carter passed Strickler after the restart at lap five, began reeling in leader Shryock but Strickler wasn't done yet. He kept pestering Carter, finally getting back around and into second place with two laps left in the race. Carter finished in third. Fourth went to Colt Mather who had started deep in the field in sixteenth, and rounding out the top five was thirteenth place starter Hunter Marriott. Pole sitter Thornton was sixth. Shryock got his win by settling in on the bottom of the track on his way to the victory.
Going into the night, Kyle Brown was leading HDT points, with Mike VanGenderen just two points behind. By the end of the night, the two were tied for the point lead....VanGenderen finishing tenth and Brown in twelfth. Ronn Lauritzen remains in third place, even after taking a provisional starting spot for the A main.
The IMCA Stock Cars ran their 18-lap feature first. Daniel Hilsabeck, piloting the 77N ride of Audubon's Jeff Nielsen, due to an illness in the family, would lead all laps on his way to the win. He had to throw off the challenges of Nathan Wood for most of the race, but it would be local fan favorite, Mike Hughes making the pass around Wood with a lap remaining, scoring the runner up spot, Wood going third. Damon Murty started seventh and finished fourth, and pole sitter Todd Reitzler rounded out the top five. It was Hilsabeck's second win at Osky this year.
A full field of IMCA Northern SportMods were on hand last night.....visitors in the area already for the scheduled Harris Clash on Thursday. A look at the redraw and the starting line up for the 16-lap event saw Curtis Van Der Wal sitting on the pole. That being the case, I think most people thought the race would be for second.
The original start was called back and then after getting just one lap in, with Van Der Wal leading, the call was made by promoter VanGenderen to call the Modifieds to staging, pushing the Hobby Stocks waiting in the wings, to run their feature after the HDT race. The crowd was pleased, as I think everyone was just waiting and wondering when Mother Nature would call a halt to the night's racing. When the race restarted after the lap one yellow, Jason McDaniel FLEW around Van Der Wal and into the lead. McDaniel had started tenth and due to the two yellows had made great headway! Another yellow flew at lap ten, McDaniel still captain of the ship and Van Der Wal in second. McDaniel had little trouble in keeping that lead and went on to secure a comfortable win. Van Der Wal went second, third went to eighth place starter Brayton Carter, fourth was Cory Van Zante, and Logan Anderson was fifth. McDaniel won for the third time at the track in 2015.
The Hobby Stocks then ran after the HDT feature. They ran a 15-lap event. Dale Porter sat on the pole spot, and from there on, stayed at the head of the field all race long on his way to the checkers. Danny Thrasher pestered him during the race, but was never able to do more than that, taking the runner up spot. Dustin Griffiths came from sixth to take third place, fourth was Bobby Greene and fifth went to Jared Stephens. Porter repeated a win from back in April.
The last to run was the Sport Compact feature. Just as they came to the track, I swear I could smell rain in the air. They would get five of their ten lap feature in, when the liquid sunshine started falling. The race was called complete. Bill Whalen was the winner, followed by Trent Orwig, Ryan Havel, Larry Hopkins and Jon Girdley...third through fifth.
By the time we had gathered our belongings, and exited the grandstand, the rain had nearly stopped. We made our way through the midway (it was Southern Iowa Fair time) to our vehicle. It really was a pretty sight to see the midway lights behind us during the races---a really nice and different carnival from the recent years I might add.
I mentioned earlier that eight states, including Iowa, were represented and Australia. Those Modifieds drivers were Ricky Thornton, Jr. from Chandler, Arizona....who had just taken the championship title of last week's Dakota Tour, Kyle Strickler from Mooresville, North Carolina, Hunter Marriott, Brookfield, Missouri, Jeff "The Animal" Taylor from Cave City, Arkansas. He was piloting the #24 car, a Rage Chassis, instead of his familiar #5. Cory Sample was in the #00 out of Winnemucca, Nevada and the #14 of Joey Franklin, the Elvis impersonator from Las Vegas, Nevada. Blake Woodruff in the #87 car was the Illinois entrant, from Galesburg, and from Bakersfield, California, Ethan Dotson....who has been staying in Iowa and racing for the summer. In the IMCA Northern SportMod division, Australia was represented by the #77AU of Frank Packer. Packer is spending his summer hanging with Modified driver Jon Snyder while it is winter back in his neck of the woods.....or should I say, "Out Back".
During intermission, three drivers were inducted into the Southern Iowa Speedway Hall of Fame. Those were Dean Sylvester, the 86 year old former builder, driver, supporter, etc., Jim Brown, the father of the late Aaron Brown who was a member of last year's initial Hall of Fame. Brown was a long time successful racer and a fan favorite at Osky. And last, but not least, the Ridge Runner, Danny Wallace. Wallace loved to take his ride to the topside when he raced. He is a former IMCA National Champion who frequented the 1/2 mile at Osky. I got to speak with him briefly after the ceremony, and he looks exactly like he did when he was racing!
We were happy to have Jerry Mackey join us in the stands last night. On hand to see the Hall of Fame inductions as well as the racing action. Jerry announced "back in the day" at Osky.......always starting off with "Hello race fans!" He still announces at a couple of eastern Iowa tracks.
As stated earlier, many of the out of state drivers on hand last night were in the area in anticipation of running the Harris Clash scheduled for tonight at the nearby Knoxville Raceway. Unfortunately, the Clash was canceled by this morning. Too much rain. We did hear Knoxville had 2 1/2 inches of rain....according to WHO-TV. Right now, Bob Harris, according to social media, is looking for a new venue to possibly reschedule.....but not at Knoxville.
Hopefully, racing will get in tomorrow at area tracks. Marshalltown has a $1,000 to win for the IMCA Modifieds, so perhaps some of the drivers that had been here for the Harris Clash, will stick around and race at the high banks.
