Everybody
in attendance on Old Timers Lounge Night would see some fantastic
racing action. Several times through the night, they
would get 3, 4 and 5 wide coming off the corners. Also the fans would
get an added bonus with the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA SportMods running a
King of the Hill and that wouldn’t be disappointed.
Duayne Herb
would lead the first 3 laps before once again Merv Chandler would take
the top spot away. Chandler would go on to take win number 12 on Friday
Nights at Marshalltown. Herb would again settle for 2nd, Travis
Losenicky was 3rd, Travis Ross was 4th and Neil Nabholz was 5th.
O’Reilly
Auto Parts Mod Lites feature would see Adam Larson from Ames lead the
first 11 laps before Josh May would make the move and take the lead on
lap 12. May would go on and take his 6th win at Marshalltown. Larson
would get disqualified in post race tech inspection moving up Mike
Morrill to 2nd. Andy Hennigar, Randy Bryan and Mike Kennedy would round
out the top 5.
The Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA SportMods saw Travis
Peterson take the early lead but it was 14
year old Sam Wieben finding his way around to take the lead on lap 5.
Wieben’s lead would be short lived as the caution would fly because
Gatlin Leytham would go flying off the top turns 3 and 4. When the
racing got going Wieben would have to deal with Peterson and Racer
Hulin. Hulin would get by Peterson and then pass Wieben for the lead on
lap 7. Another race caution would come out on lap 9 but that wouldn’t
affect him as he would continue to lead. On lap 15, Hulin would lose the
handle in turns 1 and 2 forcing the caution to come out which would
give the lead back to Wieben. Wieben would lead the remaining 3 laps to
take his first career SportMod win. Ty Luellen, Jake Strayer, Scott
Davis and Joel Rust rounded out the top 5.
In Toby K’s Hideaway
IMCA Hobby Stocks feature it was the caution waving before 1 lap was
completed and it was for Kevin Fee and Austin Luellen. On the restart it
was Dustin Lynch leading lap 1. Josh Saunders would
grab the lead away on lap 2 and then a lap later the caution would come
out again this time for debris. Saunders would continue to lead and
hold off challenges from Eric Knutson and Nic Shearer. Eric Larson would
get by them and then get by Saunders to take the lead at the halfway
point. Larson would go on and take the win with Saunders in 2nd. Tyler
Pickett was 3rd, Scott Pippert was 4th and John Watson was 5th after the
disqualification of Brice Udelhoven, who came across in 5th.
The
Mike’s Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars would see some fantastic racing
through out the feature but it was the Murphy Brothers, Trent and
Michael, getting to the front early. Trent Murphy would take the win in
the feature that would go green-to-checkered with younger brother
Michael Murphy in 2nd. Tracy Gienger was 3rd, Steve Meyer was 4th and
Derek Reimer was 5th.
The final feature of the night was
Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds feature saw Luke
Wanninger taking the lead early and not look back despite the only race
caution on lap 4 when Kyle Brown would go around in turn 2. Wanninger
would lead all 20 laps to take the win, which would be win number 5 of
the season. Jimmy Gustin would finish 2nd would also get credit with the
win since Wanninger is running a test crate engine for IMCA so for
Gustin it would be win number 6 at Marshalltown. Jon Snyder was 3rd,
Adam Larson was 4th and Kyle Krampe was 5th.
In the King of the
Hill it was the power of “J’s” because in round 1 it was Jake Strayer,
Joel Rust, Jenae Gustin and Jared Van Deest taking the win. Round 2 saw
Jake Strayer and Jenae Gustin. In the final it was a fantastic race
between Strayer and Gustin and it would be Gustin prevailing and
becoming the “Queen of the Hill” Champion.
Next Friday Night will
be J&V Napa Auto Parts Night and the youngsters will have the New
Hope Christian Church Cardboard Classic
Races. Remember the speedway features IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars,
IMCA SportMods, IMCA Hobby Stocks, Mod Lites and IMCA Sport Compacts.
