After last week's races in Boone got rained out many people had ticket stubs and pit passes to be used up which included me. This week it meant it was time to make it back despite it being cold, windy weather and me being tired from making my first visit to Lee County Speedway.
I would say even though it was cold and windy there was some great racing action on Iowa's Action Track the Boone Speedway.
The first feature of the night was the Mod Lites/Dwarf Cars for fifteen laps. Before one lap was completed the caution would come out for a couple cars getting together when the racing got going it was Jason Whitehead taking the lead. Whitehead would hold on to the lead until lap six when Randy Bryan would sneak by and it appeared as if Bryan was going to take the win. However Andy Hennigar would make the pass on the last lap to take the win. Bryan would settle for second, Josh May was third, Mike Kennedy was fourth and #19 car was fifth.
In the IMCA SportMods eighteen lap feature it was Mike Pruitt taking the lead and not looking back despite two race cautions, on lap five and nine. Scott Davis would have a strong run and try to chase down Pruitt but run out of time and forced to settle for second. Jason Mallicoat, Bruce Egeland and David Schlicht rounded out the top 5.
IMCA Modifieds twenty lap feature would be caution filled feature. Luke Wanninger would take the early lead or so he thought as he got penalized for jumping the start so Jon Snyder was credited the leader of lap 1 but the caution would come out shortly after. On the restart, Snyder would break forcing the caution to come out and hand the lead over to Jake Durbin. Durbin's lead would be short lived as Wanninger would get by on the restart and cruise on to the win despite cautions on lap ten and fourteen. Jimmy Gustin made a strong run to finish 2nd, Durbin was 3rd, Joel Bushore was 4th and Kelly Lyons was 5th.
The IMCA Stock Cars would see a caution come out before 1 lap could be completed. When the race got going everybody would see Ryan Rose and Michael Jaennette battling it out for the lead, Rose would lead lap 1 but Jaennette would take the lead on lap 2 . Jaennette would hold off several challengers through the remaining 16 laps and take the win. Alan Van Gorp would finish 2nd, Gary Bass was 3rd, Rose was 4th and Donavon Smith was 5th.
Final feature of the night was the IMCA Hobby Stock feature. The caution would wave twice before a single lap was completed. John Watson would take the lead when the race finally got going and would go on to the win despite cautions on lap 4 and again on lap 7. Curt Reed, Justin Nehring, Aaron Rudolph and Carl Knight would finish second through 5th.
Racing action came to an end at 10:39 pm. Next week the Boone Speedway will be back in action Hot Laps at 6:45 pm and Racing at 7:30 pm.
