Season Opener at Boone on Saturday night saw familiar faces in victory lane but the racing action was action packed all night long. 146 cars signed in to compete at Iowa's Action Track on Saturday.
First feature of the night was the Mod Lites 15 lap event and it was Marshalltown's Feature winner Jimmy May and Charlie Brown leading the field to the green. Travis Stensland was the one taking the early lead though and held on to take the win. Josh May founded his way to runner up and Brown fell to third. Terry Brown and Randy Bryan was fourth and fifth respectively.
Doug Smith lead from start to finish in the 18 lap IMCA Northern SportMods feature event. The only caution came out on lap eight when Ben Wilson spun in turn three. Clint Luellen tried to chase down Smith but was unable to make it pass as Smith took the win. Luellen was second, Sam Wieben was third, Jonathan Logue was fourth and Randy Roberts was fifth.
Austin Luellen started on the pole in the 12 lap IMCA Hobby Stocks feature event and the only thing that slowed him down was a caution on lap three for Solomon Bennett in turn four. Luellen took the checkered over Andrew Burg, Cody Gustoff, Eric Stanton and Aaron Rudolph.
Up next was the IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature and it was Frostbuster Winner Jimmy Gustin taking the early lead but just after one lap was completed the caution came out for Luke Wanninger coming to a stop in turn three. Gustin got a great restart and pulled away until the final caution on lap 13 when Eric Elliott would experience mechanincal issues and come to a stop in turn four. Gustin again got a great restart and held off Denny Pittman, Josh Most, Mike Van Genderen and Joel Bushore for the win.
Final feature of the night was the IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature and it was Matthew West grabbing the early lead. West was in a heavy battle with Jay Schmidt but West got sideways and Schmidt tried to miss but instead got his tire cut down ending his night. Wayne Gifford took the lead and pulled away only to see the caution come out on lap 11 when Ben Walding and Tom Killen got together in turns three and four. Gifford held on to win. Terry Pruitt finished second, Matt West was third, Chris Pruitt was fourth and Donavon Smith was fifth.
