By Jeremy Fox
Des
Moines, Iowa (April 4th, 2013) – On Thursday Night the Iowa State Fair
Speedway in Des Moines opened its 2013 season with their frostbuster
special, which was suppose to be night two of the frostbusters but
because of the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa not able to go this
made for the opening night of the frostbusters.
A total of one
hundred and five cars signed in to do battle on the 1/2 mile in the
capital city including twenty-seven IMCA Modifieds. Forcing officials to
start all twenty-seven cars for the 20 lap Frostbuster Feature.
Todd
Shute would jump to the early race lead in the 20 lap IMCA Modified
frostbuster feature. The caution would fly on lap two for Kyle Wahlert
in turn 2 on the restart before they could complete another lap a
handful of cars would get together in turn 3 forcing the yellow to come
back out.
On the restart, Shute would again take control but
this time not for long as on lap four there would be some heavy smoke
coming from that machine that forced an early exit and that would hand
the lead over to Jeremy Mills. A lead Mills would not give up. Cayden
Carter and Kyle Strickler from North Carolina would battle it out for
second, it would be Carter taking second and Strickler was 3rd. Jake
Durbin and Jay Noteboom rounded out the top 5.

finish second through fifth respectively.
Karl Cheverolet Dirt

would grab the lead on lap 4. A lead that Moro wouldn’t give up in root
to the first feature win of the season. Ed Nelson would get by Moyer

couple of laps to go. Eric Stanton was fourth and Ben Bruck was fifth.
