This past Wednesday Night the Southern Iowa Speedway would see temperatures rise into the upper 80's and it was definitely very humid but that didn't keep the drivers from coming to the big 1/2 mile. There was 78 race teams to compete on Nutz Graphics of Oskaloosa and Centerville Night, there was also 2 sprint cars on hand to get a few hot laps sessions.
First feature of the night was the Autocrafters IMCA Sport Compacts and it was Merv Chandler taking the early lead. Larry Hopkins would make the move on Chandler and take the lead on lap 3. Hopkins would go on and get his 2nd win of the year at Osky and his 4th win in a week. Chandler settled for 2nd, Heat Race Winner Bill Whalen Jr was 3rd, Tyler Whalen was 4th and Justin Millhouse was 5th.
Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds saw Jim Lynch from Bloomfield take the early race lead. Lynch would continue to lead until lap 8 when Rookie Cayden Carter would make the move and take the win. Carter would begin to have a confortable lead until a caution would come out on lap 12 when Dakota Hayden would have his machine plant expire on the fronstretch. Carter manage to lead the final 6 laps to take his 2nd win of the year, Lynch finish 2nd. Finishing behind Carter and Lynch was Shane Weller, Brandon Banks and Jeff Conner.
In the Tracy Elevator IMCA Hobby Stocks it was Bill Bonnett leading lap 1. Danny Thrasher would get by and take the lead on lap 2 but Thrasher lead would be short lived as Shannon Anderson would make the move and take the lead on lap 6. Anderson would go on and take the win, his 3rd of the year at the Southern Iowa Speedway. Eric Stanton, Danny Thasher, John Watson and Dustin Griffiths rounded out the top 5.
Up next the Carter's Manufacturing IMCA Stock cars and it was Todd Reitzler leading the first lap. Reitzler would lose the handle after a restart and causing a pile up but keep moving so he would regain the lead. Kyle Harwood would battle with Reitzler for the lead and make it stick on lap 4 but little did Harwood know the "Z-Man" Zack Vanderbeek was right there and Vanderbeek would sneak by and take the win. Nathan Wood would run 2nd, Harwood would end up 3rd, Reitzler was 4th and Alan Van Gorp was 5th.
The final feature of the night was the Pyramid Graphics and Sports IMCA SportMods and it was Josh Modde taking the early lead. Modde however would end up losing the leading after a couple of cautions came out after completion of 2 laps. Jesse Sobbing would be the one making the move on Modde and take the win, his 2nd of the year at SIS. Curtis Vanderwal would get by Modde on lap 16 to take 2nd with Modde ending up 3rd. Tony Johnson and Racer Hulin would finish 4th and 5th.
As mentioned above there was 2 sprint cars on hand to hot lap: 10 Tyler Groenenedyk from Oskaloosa and 0 Mike Mayberry from Fremont. Racing action came to an end just before 10:25 pm. I want to thank Mike Van Genderen, Tony Paris, Jen Oskerson and Michelle Van Genderen for letting me help out in the tower for the last several weeks and will be back next week.
