Gustin and May Clean Sweep at Marshalltown

Last week's features were rained out and forced double features on Hy-Vee/Hy-Vee Gas and Hogeland Auto Plaza Kids night would bring a night full of some great racing action.

The night would start with the O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites Make-Up feature. Before a lap could be scored the yellow would come out. Jeff Stensland would take the lead when the racing action got going but Mike Morrill would take the lead on lap 4 from Stensland. Morrill's lead was short lived as he would blow up on the backstretch and hand the lead over to Josh May. May would not look back and go on to take the win, Stensland took 2nd, Dusty Masolini was 3rd, Joel Huggins in 4th and James May was 5th.

In the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods Make-Up feature it was DJ Robinson taking the early lead. The only caution would come out on lap 3 for a car coming to a stop in turn 3. Robinson would have to deal with Jenae Gustin and Gustin would make the pass on Robinson. Gustin would go on and take the win, Scott Davis was 2nd, Cayden Carter was 3rd, DJ Robinson was 4th and Jared Van Deest was 5th.

The Toby K's Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks Make-Up feature would see Rookie Brice Udelhoven lead the first 5 laps before Michael Murphy took the lead away on lap 6. Murphy took the win in the feature that would go green-to-checkered with Kevin Fee, Udelhoven, Eric Larson and Calvin Dhondt rounding out the top 5.

Mike's Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars Make-Up feature was up next and it was Steve Meyer taking the race lead. Meyer and the field would see the only caution come out on lap 4, Meyer wouldn't let that bother him as he would hold on to the top spot until lap 10 when Tracy Gienger would sneak by Meyer. Gienger took the win with Damon Murty in 2nd, Trent Murphy was 3rd, Meyer finished 4th and Donavon Smith came home 5th.

Last Up in the Make-Up features was the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds for 20 laps. Todd Conrad would take the early race lead but then the first race caution came out on lap 2. On the restart, Conrad would have to deal with Adam Larson. Larson would make the pass on lap 4 and not look back even though the caution waved again on lap 7.  Finishing behind Larson was Jimmy Gustin, Jon Snyder, Ronn Lauritzen and Scott Simatovich.

Then it was time for the regular program of the night and before we could complete the heats, mother nature would drop some of her famous liquid sunshine but within about 15 minutes we were back to racing and the rest of the night would be finished without any more interruptions.

O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites were up for their 15 lap feature after all of that and it was Travis Stensland taking the early lead. Josh May would make the high side pass for the lead on lap 3. The only race caution came out on lap 6 but that didn't bother May as he would pull away and take the win. Actually it would make a clean sweep for May as he took the Make-Up feature, heat race and feature events. Mike Morrill would finish 2nd in a borrowed race car, Andy Hennigar was 3rd, Joel Huggins was 4th and Stensland was 5th.

Toby K's Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks 12 lap feature would see Josh Saunders lead the first 5 laps. Kevin Fee would make the pass on lap 6 but Devin Smith would make the pass on lap 9. Smith took the win in the feature that again would go green-to-checkered. Fee finished 2nd, Michael Murphy was 3rd, Josh Saunders was 4th and Eric Larson was 5th.

Up next would be the Mike's Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars for 18 laps. Todd Reitzler would take the early lead only to see Tommy Thompson take it from him on lap 3. Reitzler would come back and take it back on lap 4 and go to the win despite 2 cautions on lap 7. Finishing behind Reitzler was Donavon Smith, Damon Murty, Steve Meyer and Michael Jaennette.

In the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods regular 15 lap feature it was Jenae Gustin lead the entire feature event to complete the clean sweep for her. The only 3 cautions came out on lap 3 but it was Gustin stay cool calm and collected as she would go on to the win. Doug Smith tried to catch but came up short so he settled for 2nd with Racer Hulin, Tyler Droste and Cayden Carter finishing 3rd through 5th.

The final feature of the night was the 20 lap Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds. Ronn Lauritzen would lead the first 8 laps in the feature, 2 cautions happen in the early going though would slow the event down. Jon Snyder would make the move and pass for the lead on lap 9 and that would be the winning pass to go on and take the win. Larson finished 2nd, Lauritzen fell back to 3rd, Jimmy Gustin came home 4th and Scott Simatovich finished 5th.

Racing action came to an end at 10:15p even though we started early and had a 15 minute rain delay in the program. Next Friday Night we are back at it with Johnny Ray's Bar & Grille Night at the Races we will also have the Iowa Mini Sprints on hand and we will have the ever so popular Spectator Eliminator races.
