Marshalltown and Boone Recaps

Mother Nature wins at Marshalltown
 

Just as the night was getting going Mother Nature would drop rain on the race track. Track crew would get the track back into shape in time to run hot laps but just as hot laps were ending the rain came again forcing the cancellation.

Race fans, drivers and crews are reminded to keep there ticket stub and pit passes from tonight’s races to be used next week at the speedway.

Next Friday Night it will be Minute Man Printing Night with Hot Laps at 6:45 pm and racing at 7:30 pm.



Zehm, Elliott, Shute, Munson and Watson Win at Boone 

Just like i do every memorial day weekend on saturday's when i stay home and don't go with family to Minnesota i head to Iowa's Action Track the Boone Speedway for a great night of racing. There would be great battles in all the features for the wins and there was defintely some flames flying.


First feature of the night was the Mod Lites and it was "Huggie Bear" Joel Huggins taking the early race lead but then a race caution on lap 6 when Rick Taylor's ride would go up in a fireball. On the restart, Huggins would have to deal with Travis Stensland, Mike Kennedy and Ed Zehm. Kennedy and Zehm would get by Stensland and set their sights on getting by Huggins and on lap 9, Kennedy would make the pass and take the lead. Zehm would get by Huggins on lap 12 when Huggins would lose the handle in turn 2 which collected Joel Keenan and Josh May would also get involved infortunately this would bring out the red flag as May would have his world get a little sideways, he would climb from the car and be okay. Kennedy would resume command but would have several challenges from Ed Zehm and finally on the last lap Zehm was able to make it stick and take the win from Kennedy. Mike Morrill, Jeff Stensland and Andy Hennigar would round out the top 5.


In the IMCA SportMods feature, it was new daddy Anthony Onstot leading the first 13 laps including a caution on lap 11 for Darren Huntley experiencing troubles. Again 2 laps later the caution would come out for Jeff Blume blowing up in turn 3 and this time Onstot would be passed by Daniel Tasler. Tasler looking to be going on to the win until Eric Elliott would chase him down and the old saying rubbin is racing this would stand true on the last lap as Elliott and Tasler would race side-by-side and it was Elliott taking the win and Tasler finishing 2nd. Onstot was 3rd, Andy Tiernan was 4th and Cory Rose was 5th.


Chad Louk would lead the first 7 laps of the IMCA Modified feature before Jake Durbin would make the pass to take the lead on lap 8. Shortly after there would be a race caution on lap 9 and then another one on lap 11 but it would really heat up after a caution on lap 16. Durbin would get into a heated battle with Todd Shute and when it was all over it was Shute winning with Durbin finishing 2nd. Jimmy Gustin would have the best seat to watch that battle as he would end up 3rd. Russ Dickerson and Mike VanGenderen would round out the top 5.


Mike Munson would lead the entire IMCA Stock Cars feature race but Wayne Gifford would get by Munson on the last lap however a caution would come out reverting the field back to the previous lap and ending the feature under yellow. Donavon Smith was 3rd, Rod Richards was 4th and Norman Belew was 5th.


The final feature of the night was the IMCA Hobby Stock and it would see 2 cautions before a single lap was completed when the race got going it would be Clint Rothfus taking the lead. Another race caution would come out on lap 2 when Dustin Filloon would come to a stop on the backstretch. Rothfus would have to deal with John Watson on the restart and on lap 5, Watson would make the pass and take the lead. Watson would go on an dtake the win despite a caution with 2 laps to go for debris. Aaron Rudolph, Curt Reed, Cory Adams and Rothfus rounded out the top 5.


Racing was completed at 10:45 pm and the Boone Speedway will return back to action on Monday Night for the Deery Brothers Summer Series show that will also have the IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA SportMods, IMCA Hobby Stocks and Mod Lites on the card.
