Duffy wins Night 2 of the Havoc on the High Banks

For the 2nd straight the Marshalltown Speedway saw some fantastic 3, 4 and 5 wide racing despite the temperatures being a little cooler than last night. The fans that braved the cold definitely didn’t go home disappointed either night. The night also brought people from Australia and even a NASCAR racing legend David Pearson to the race track.

In the O’Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites, it was Jeff Stensland taking the early lead and when the first race caution came out on lap 3, Stensland didn’t let that bother him as he continued to lead until the caution came out on lap 9 for debris. On the restart, it was Tim Hennigar sneaking by to take the lead and then the final race caution came out when Troy Hudson would roll in turn 4, Hudson would be okay. Tim Hennigar would hold off the late race challenges to take the win. Mike Kennedy finished 2nd with Bryan Zehm in 3rd, Jason Whitehead in 4th and Randy Bryan in 5th.

Merv Chandler would lead the entire 10 lap IMCA Sport Compact feature to take the win. David Moorman would grab 2nd from Duayne Herb on the last lap. Herb took 3rd with John Gill and Neil Nabholz rounding out the top 5.

After having the first two attempts to start the 12 lap Karl Chevrolet Dirt Truck feature, the first row would be sent back to the 2nd row with the 2nd row moving up to start on the front row and when the race got going it was Brad Moyer jumping out to the early lead. Brad Moyer would lead the first half of the race before his brother Bret Moyer would finally be able to grab the lead away. Bret Moyer would go on to take the win and grab the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Truck Championship. Brad Moyer, Tony Moro, Carl Moyer and Rick Clark would finish second through fifth.

Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA SportMods feature would see Curtis Vanderwal take the lead from the pole position but just shortly after the completion of lap 1 the caution would fly. Vanderwal wouldn’t let this caution bother him but then the  caution flag would wave again on lap 3. On the restart, Vanderwal would hold off Nick Roberts but Roberts wouldn’t give up as Roberts would grab the lead away on lap 5. Roberts and Vanderwal would do battle for the top spot with Roberts holding on and then Racer Hulin would make a 3 car battle and then the caution came out on lap 7. Roberts would get a great restart but Hulin and Vanderwal would not go away as they would stay there and set up for a fantastic finish after the caution 11. Roberts would go on take the win with Racer Hulin finishing 2nd. Vanderwal was 3rd, Joel Rust was 4th and Sam Wieben was 5th.

Scott Durlin would jump to the early race lead in the Toby K’s Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature but just after 1 lap was complete the caution would wave. Durlin would get a great restart and would be running pretty good until the caution came out on lap 3 for a car stopped in turn 2, Durlin would pull in shortly after because the car blew up this would hand the lead over to Watson. Watson would take full advantage and just after halfway, Scott Pippert had worked his way up to Watson and start to battle for the lead. Watson and Pippert would have a 5 lap dash to the finish because the caution came on lap 10 and it was Watson holding on to take the win for the 2nd night in a row. Pippert, Brandon Brinton, Aaron Rudolph and Gary Pfantz would round out the top 5.

Donavon Smith would start on the pole in the IMCA Stock Car feature and he would take full advantage of it until the caution came out on lap 5. On the restart, Smith would have Sean Johnson and Jay Schmidt behind him and it was Johnson grabbing the lead away from Smith on lap 7. Johnson would see the yellow come out twice on lap 8 for a car in turn 2 and then on the restart when something sent Jeff Wollam in the wall on the front stretch. On the restart, Johnson and Smith would resume their battle for the lead and Smith would keep sneaking his nose in the inside and he would eventually grab the lead back from Johnson on lap 10. Smith would lead the remaining laps to take the win with Johnson in a very close 2nd. Finishing behind Smith and Johnson was Jarod Weepie, Steve Meyer and Jay Schmidt.

The final feature of the night was JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour for IMCA Modifieds 30 lap feature and this feature would go green-to-checkered and not disappoint the fans in the stands. Milo Veloz Jr. would lead lap 1 but it was Dustin Smith grabbing the lead on lap 2. Smith would hold on to that lead until Darin Duffy grabs the lead on lap 6. Duffy began pulling away but as soon as he hit the lap traffic that would allow Jay Noteboom, who worked his way from his 4th row outside starting spot up to 2nd. Duffy would hold off any attempts from Noteboom as they were going through the lap traffic to take the win. Noteboom would finish 2nd and claim the JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour Championship. Ronn Lauritzen came home in 3rd, Randy Havlik was 4th and Jon Snyder was 5th.

The racing season has come to an end for the Weekly Racing but the speedway will host Sunday Funday on September 30th, A Night of Champions Banquet in the Activity Building on Friday Night November 2nd and Battle at the Barn V on January 25th and 26th, 2013 in Des Moines.

After being idle for a few weeks that Marshalltown Speedway roar back to life with Night 1 of the 6th Annual Toby K’s Hideaway Havoc on the High Banks. There would be some fantastic 3, 4 and 5 wide through out the night and some exciting finishes.

Andy Hennigar would take the lead on lap 1 but it was Mike Morrill getting by on the topside on lap 2 in the O’Reilly Auto Part Mod Lites Feature. Morrill would continue to work the topside while Hennigar was on the bottom by the tires. The only thing that would slow Morrill and Hennigar would be the two race cautions in the early going but it was Morrill holding off any challenges from Hennigar to take the win. Hennigar would settle for 2nd, Troy Hudson was 3rd, Mike Kennedy was 4th and Paul Nagle was 5th

Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA SportMods feature would see Curtis Vanderwal taking the early lead and appear to be pulling away with it until he started encountering lap traffic and that would allow Track Champion Racer Hulin chase him down and grab the lead on lap 8. A Lap later the only caution would come when a car would come to a stop on the run off road but Hulin wouldn’t let that bother him as he would go on to take the victory. Ty Luellen would get by Vanderwal in the later stages to take 2nd with Vanderwal in 3rd. Randy Roberts, who started 12th and Carter Vandenberg would round out the top 5.

In the Toby K’s Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature it was John Watson taking full advantage of his pole position as he would jump to the lead. Watson would see the yellow fly four times through out the feature including one that set up the green-white-checkered finish.  Watson would have to deal with several different drivers Devin Smith, Scott Pippert and Garrett Eilander through out but hold them off to take the win. Pippert, who started 12th would get by Smith to grab 2nd. Smith, Lichty and Chris Luloff would finish third through fifth.

The Mike’s Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars feature would go green-to-checkered and it was Sean Johnson from Independence leading all 20 laps and the only thing that slowed him down was the lap traffic in the 2nd half of the race. Donavon Smith would finish 2nd, Christopher Wiltse was 3rd, Jeff Wollam was 4th and Jay Schmidt was 5th.

The final feature of the night was JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour for IMCA Modifieds 30 lap feature and this feature would not despite as it was Darin Duffy taking the early lead from his outside front row starting spot and he would lead it pretty easily until the caution came out on lap 10 when Patrick Flannagan in Dennis Betzer’s car would go around in turn 3. Duffy would now know that Jay Noteboom who started 7th had worked his way up through the field. Duffy and Noteboom would start getting in to a battle for the lead with Duffy holding off Noteboom until lap 17. Noteboom would slip up just a bit on lap 20 allowing Duffy back by on the topside. Duffy and Noteboom would continue to swap the lead until Noteboom would finally grab it away on lap 23. Noteboom would take the win and Duffy would settle for 2nd. Jon Snyder, Mark Elliott and Randy Havlik would round out the top 5.

Larry Wollam Season Championships at Motown

The final night of the Wolf Seeds Chase for the Championship would come to rest with the Larry Wollam Memorial Season Championships. On the night we honor a former racer, car owner and promoter in Larry Wollam which lost his battle to leukemia 13 years ago. The fans came out and enjoy a great night of racing.

Merv Chandler would get to start on the pole because of being the IMCA Sport Compacts Track Champion and he would take full advantage and lead all 8 laps from start to finish taking the win. Duayne Herb would try to make several attempts to get by Chandler but settled for runner up honors and John Gill would come home in 3rd. For Chandler it was win number 14 of the year at Marshalltown.

In the O’Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites feature it was Mike Morrill taking advantage of his pole position and would lead the first 8 laps before Andy Hennigar would make the move and take the lead away from Morrill. Hennigar would go on and become the first driver besides Morrill and Josh May to take the win. May would get by Morrill for 2nd forcing Morrill back to 3rd but Morrill would be the 2012 track champion. Dusty Masolini was 4th and Tim Hennigar was 5th.

Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA SportMods feature would see Racer Hulin take the lead and start to pull away until he encounter lap traffic which would allow Jake Strayer to chase him down and set up an exciting finish. On the last lap, Strayer would sneak to the inside of Hulin and use a lap car as a pick to take the win away from Hulin. Hulin would finish 2nd and take the track championship. Scott Davis, Nick Roberts and Joel Rust rounded out the top 5.

Scott Pippert clinched the track championship in the Toby K’s Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature and would start on the front row. Pippert would jump to the lead and the only thing that would slow him would be a lap 8 caution. Pippert wouldn’t let it slow him down as he would go on to take his 8th win in the last 9 weeks at Marshalltown. Eric Larson would finish 2nd, Kevin Fee was 3rd, Eric Knutson was 4th and Robert Engelkes was 5th.

The Mike’s Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars feature saw the yellow fly for debris before a single lap was completed forcing a straight up restart. When the race got going it was Tracy Gienger taking the lead meanwhile Steve Meyer would stay close to Gienger. Then the caution would fly again on lap 9, first for Doug Russell having issues and coming to a rest in turn 4 and then on the restart when the red flag would come when Justin Jacobson would flip in turn 2. That wouldn’t bother Gienger however if that wasn’t enough the caution would fly on lap 18 forcing a green-white-checkered restart. Gienger would hold off any challenges from Steve Meyer or Damon Murty to take his 2nd win in 3 weeks. Murty would take 2nd, Steve Meyer would finish 3rd but be the 2012 track champion. Jeff Wollam would finish 4th and Trent Murphy was 5th.

The final feature of the night was Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds feature and it was Jimmy Gustin leading all 25 laps in the feature that went green-to-checkered to take the 2012 track championship which is his 5th track championship in 6 years. Ronn Lauritzen would finish 2nd, Zack Rawlins was 3rd, Kyle Brown was 4th and Scott Simatovich was 5th.
