World of Outlaws in Indee and Harris Clash in Boone Both Postponed

My plan was to head to the Independence Motor Speedway for Monday Madness featuring the Real American Beer World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DirtVision, but Indee and World of Outlaws officials agreed to postpone it to a later date. They are working together to find a viable reschedule date and will have more information when it's announced.

So since my Monday night was free now, I was asked to come out of the bullpen and do some fill-in PA announcing for Marshalltown High School during their softball doubleheader with Highway 30 rival Ames, but unfortunately, they made the decision because of storms during the times of the games, and they are postponed to a later date. As I type this, the plan may be to play the doubleheader tomorrow night since it looks a little better than it did. 

Tuesday night, my plan was to attend the 34th Annual Harris Clash presented by Wehrs Machine and Racing Products, but due to a not-so-favorable weather forecast, Bob Harris, Boone Speedway, and IMCA officials have decided to postpone to save money for unnecessary travel when the chances are slim. The rescheduled date is Tuesday, August 5th. IMCA officials will now begin to put together the return of Iowa Speedweek. Information with more details on dates and participating tracks will be announced as soon as it's figured out. 

It's only Monday, and the Foxman is now batting 0 for 3 with 3 strikeouts this week. I may have a softball doubleheader tomorrow; if not, I will either plan to make a trip to Stuart for the Ron Little Memorial or the Gary Wilson Memorial featuring the SLMR Late Models at Osky on Wednesday. Friday night, it's back to Marshalltown for flagging duties during the Minute Man Printing Night featuring $500 to win Sport Compacts. Saturday night, my options are Hamilton County Speedway for the Tri-State Late Model Series and Bill Rice Memorial or Independence with the Karl Chevrolet Pro Late Model Tour, or maybe somewhere else; I guess we will see but where ever I end up I just might bring the camera along.

Smith wins the Hawkeye Challenge, Moffitt claims victory in Sprint Kings, and Gustin takes three wins in Boone.

Friday morning rain drowned the Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway, getting roughly 3-4 inches of rain in a span of four hours. Even the humidity or the wind didn't help, as the grounds were very saturated all day long. Now on to Saturday, despite it being hot and humid, I made the decision to adventure over to the Boone Speedway for Thrive Hawkeye Challenge Night.

Before Iowa's Action Track could get to the Thrive Hawkeye Challenge Night, they had to finish up Farley's Pre-Owned Vehicles Smackdown Night from the prior week; once that was complete, then it was on to the Thrive Hawkeye Challenge Night. A total of two hundred and twelve cars signed in, including 11 Sprint Kings Sprints. At one of the intermission breaks, there was a candy toss for the kids. Racing Action started at 6p and was fantastic all night long right up to the final checkered flag that waved at 12:52a.

The first five features of the night were the June 14th make-up features; the first one up was the IMCA STARS Mod Lites 15-lap feature event. Jaxon Carr was scheduled to start fourth, but because the outside front row starter was not there, Carr moved to the front row, and he took advantage by grabbing the top spot. The only caution came out just after the completion of lap one when Ryder Hartley spun in turn two and Cole Paul in turn one. Carr was not fazed as he held off Ben George, Terry Brown, Bryan Zehm, and Charlie Brown on the restart. Carr led the way until George was able to wrangle the lead away on lap 12. George went on to take the feature win. Carr, Charlie Brown, Zehm, and Garrett Barber round out the top five. 

Next up was the IMCA Northern Sport Mods 18-lap make-up feature event. Johnathon Logue led the first eight laps before the caution came out when Jessiah Taylor spun in turn four. On the restart, eleventh-place starter Matt Avila took the top spot away from Logue and tried to pull away. Lap ten saw the caution come out when Dayton Swatek and Mike Smith got together in turns one and two. Avila got a fantastic restart, fending off Logue and Randy Havlik. The caution came out one more time on lap 15 when Hunter Clement spun in turn four. Avila went on to take his third feature win in Boone this season. Havlik came home second, tenth-place starter Cory Pestotnik finished third, Camdan Vincent was fourth, and twelfth-place starter Dusty Masolini took fifth. 

Jimmy Gustin started fourth, but by the end of lap one in the IMCA Modifieds 20-lap make-up feature event. Gustin would lead all the laps in the caution-free feature. Ninth-place starter Greg Elliott worked his way up to grab runner-up honors. Trevor Fitz took third, eleventh-place starter Jake McBirnie was fourth, and tenth-place starter Izac Mallicoat took fifth. 

Kyle Everts grabbed the top spot early in the IMCA Stock Cars make-up 20-lap feature event. The caution came out after lap 1 was scored, when Jay Schmidt, Josh Daniels, and David Smith spun entering turn one. Everts hung on to the top spot until lap four, when seventh-place starter Jimmy Gustin was able to work his way by. Just like the Modifieds, Gustin pulled away; the only thing slowing him down was the debris caution on lap six and the red flag when Jerry Gifford rolled off the top of turn three. Gustin went on to claim his second win of the night. Eleventh-place starter Devin Smith, Doug Smith, Everts, and eighteenth-place starter Johnathon Logue finished second through fifth, respectively.

The last of the make-up features was the 15-lap IMCA Hobby Stocks make-up. Mitchell McNeill led the first lap before Corey VanDerWilt wrestled the top spot away on lap two. VanDerWilt was chased by Solomon Bennett and eleventh-place starter Eric Knutson, but he was able to fend them off to capture his first win in Boone. Matt McDonald was able to capture second ahead of Knutson. Knutson settled for third, Will Smith finished fourth, and Bennett fell back to fifth. 

The Hawkeye Challenge featured 24 cars from six different classes. IMCA divisions had the points leader and the top three in passing points from the heat races as their representatives, while the Sprint Cars took the top four in passing points. Sprint Cars had to go 25 laps, Modifieds 23, Sport Mods 22, Mod Lites 22, Stock Cars 21, and Hobby Stocks 20, which means in this 25-lap race, the Hobby Stocks started five laps ahead of the Sprint Cars. Eric Knutson was officially the leader for the first 18 laps before Johnathon Logue took the lead away in his stock car on lap 19. Sport Mod rookie Mike Smith captured the lead with 2 laps to go as the sprint cars were making their way through the field. Smith went on to capture the overall win and the sport mod win. Logue finished second, capturing the Stock Cars; Owen Carlson finished third, capturing the Sprint Cars; Doug Smith was fourth; and Charlie Brown was the top Mod Lite and finished fifth. Knutson came across in eighth and captured the Hobby Stocks, while Izac Mallicoat captured the Modifieds with a fifteenth-place finish.
 
Now it's time for the regular night feature events. The first up was the IMCA STARS Mod Lites 15-lap feature event. Bryan Zehm grabbed the top spot early, fending off Dillon Bush. The first caution came out when Ryder Hartley spun in turn one on lap six; he did it again on lap eight, but in turn three. Zehm remained strong out front, but this time tenth-place starter Austin Gray worked his way into second and began to apply pressure. Gray took the lead away on lap 12. The last race caution came out on lap 13 when Garrett Barber nearly took a tumble in turn two and made contact with Bush, forcing him to spin out in turn two. Barber was able to keep it moving and got his spot back. Gray held off Zehm and Barber on the restart and went on to take his third win in Boone. Barber, Zehm, thirteenth-place starter Ben George, and twelfth-place starter Chaz Baca, driving Joel Huggins car, rounded out the top five.

Danny Concelman from Colorado Springs, Colorado, led the first lap of the IMCA Northern Sport Mods 18-lap feature event. Tyler Carey took the lead away on lap two, and Kenser Ellis grabbed the lead briefly on lap six. Ninth-place starter Cam Reimers worked his way through and took the top spot on lap nine. The only race caution came out on lap nine, when Ryan Leeman spun in turn one. Reimers held off Carey, eleventh-place starter Mike Smith, Randy Havlik, and twelfth-place starter Matt Avila. Reimers went on to take his third feature win of the season. Smith came home second, Avila was third, Havlik finished fourth, and Carey was fifth.

Sprint Kings Sprints made their first-ever appearance at the Boone Speedway, and it was time for their 20-lap feature event. Brett Moffitt, a familiar face to Central Iowa, now calling Mooresville, North Carolina, home, returned to race. Moffitt outwrestled Tyler Thompson for the race lead early. The only caution came out on lap 2 when Logan Brown spun in turn two and Carl Wade spun to avoid making contact. Moffitt continued to lead the way but received pressure from Thompson. Moffitt was using the top side, and Thompson was on the bottom. Moffitt was finally able to get rid of Thompson and pull away, lapping most of the field to capture the win worth $1,000. Jackson Gray, a former Micro Sprint racer, came home second, Thompson fell back to third, Koddy Hildreth was fourth, and Owen Carlson was fifth.

In the IMCA Modifieds 20-lap feature event, Kaylin Lopez, driving a Zane DeVilbiss hot rod, captured the top spot early and was trailed by Matthew Meinecke. The first caution came out on lap 9 when Paul Nagle, running third at the time, spun in turn two. Lopez held off Meinecke and Cory Sauerman on the restart and looked to be heading on to the easy win until a caution came out on lap 16 for debris on the front stretch. Lopez held on to take his first feature win in Boone this season. Sauerman, Meinecke, twelfth-place starter Jake McBirnie, and thirteenth-place starter Trevor Fitz rounded out the top five.

Alan Van Gorp led the first lap of the IMCA Stock Cars 20-lap feature event before Jeff Mueller took the race lead away. Mueller continued to lead but received major pressure from Jay Schmidt. The first caution came out on lap six; Mueller held off Schmidt and Doug Smith on the restart. Twelfth-place starter Jimmy Gustin worked his way through the field and took the top spot away on lap nine. McBirnie followed Gustin's pursuit, coming from thirteenth place to second. Gustin remained strong out front, including 2 more cautions on laps 13 and 15. Gustin went on to take his third feature win of the night and third feature win in the stock cars at Boone. McBirnie settled for second, Mueller slipped back to third, Schmidt back to fourth, and fifteenth-place starter Devin Smith finished fifth.

The final feature of the night was the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15-lap feature event; the caution came out before lap one was completed. On the following restart, Jacob Monson led the first four laps before Skylar Pruitt took the lead away on lap five. The caution was waived twice again on lap six. Pruitt continued to lead until mechanical issues ended his night on lap ten, which handed the lead over to eleventh-place starter Eric Knutson, who had worked his way up to second. Knutson then held off twelfth-place starter Joe Doran late to take win number 3 of the year in Boone. Doran finished second, tenth-place starter Solomon Bennett in third, twenty-second-place starter Kolby Sabin in fourth, and Brett Maasdam in fifth.

Next up at the Boone Speedway is the 34th Annual Harris Clash presented by Wehrs Machine and Racing Products on Tuesday, June 24th. It's the first time the Harris Clash is at Iowa's Action Track since 1994, and for the first time, it will also include the IMCA Stock Cars.

Bleess and Luinenburg Capture World's Collide Showdown Victories in Mason City

This year has felt a little weird not blog recapping race nights, but it's been a lot of fun flagging races at the Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway and the Warren County Speedway in Indianola and race directing and scoring races at the Brooklyn Raceway. So nights I am not working, and I go, I will try to write a blog recap and capture some photos.

After a few rainouts on Saturday and the weather looking sketchy, I chose to spend my Saturday night off at home. That led into Sunday. As I was sitting around watching the NASCAR race from Michigan on Amazon Prime Video, I said to myself, Maybe take in a Sunday night race somewhere. So at 2:15 p.m., I decided to grab my camera, clipboard, and scanner radios and make a 2-hour drive to Mason City for racing action. I arrived around 4:30p and walked back in my house at 11:45p.

Sunday night at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Mason City Motor Speedway was the World's Collide Showdown featuring the USRA Kevko Northern Lights Modified Series presented by Real Racing Wheels and the USRA KS Engineering Iron Man Stock Car Series driven by Terminator Chassis. USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks, and Outlaw Mini Mods joined in to tame the 1/3-mile high-banked oval. A total of one hundred and twelve cars checked in on Sunday night, including 33 Iron Man Stock Cars and 19 Northern Lights Modifieds. The final checkered flag was waived at 9:33p. 

Todd Staley and the track team stayed ahead of the racing surface and tried to produce a fantastic racetrack. That proved to be the case because after the Outlaw Mini Mods feature, they took the road grader out and did some track work to produce a fantastic racing surface for the remaining 4 features. That plan worked out because there were fantastic battles throughout the fields. Great job by Bryan Denekas and Braxton Flattery on the announcing races. 

The Outlaw Mini Mod Series 15-lap feature was up first; Wyatt Medlin jumped out to the early race lead but received heavy pressure from Dalton Faber. Faber grabbed the top spot away on lap four. Shortly after the caution came out, Lukas Kloster came to a stop at the top of turn two. Faber maintained the top spot until lap six, when Medlin took back over the lead. On lap seven, caution came out again when Kloster stopped again in turn two. Medlin held off Faber and Ben Mattick to claim the win. Mattick finished second, Faber was third, Brent Tweed was fourth, and Nathan Kilwine finished fifth.

After a brief track work session including the road grader, next up was the USRA Hobby Stock 20-lap feature event. Zac Smith outwrestled Joshua Monson for the early race lead. Smith began to pull away and looked to be heading on to the feature win, only to see the caution come out on lap 12, forcing the field to bunch up again. The first caution on lap 12 was when Parker Anderson and Oliver Monson got together on the front stretch; then on the following restart it came out for debris on the back stretch. Smith held on to the top spot until seventh-place starter Kolby Goepel powered his way to the race lead with two laps to go. Goepel hung on to take the feature win, with Smith finishing second, tenth-place starter Scott Dobel coming across in third, Joshua Monson finishing fourth, and Anderson rounding out the top five.

In the Window World of Mason City USRA B-Mods 20-lap feature, George Nordman grabbed the top spot from the outside front row starting spot. Nordman held off Colton Kramer, Oliver Sackett, Kaeden Bronner, and Ben Moudry. The caution came out on lap eight for debris on the back stretch. Nordman maintained the race lead, but the caution came out again on lap 12. Corey Klouse spun in turn two, and then on the restart Kramer spun in turn four, collecting Bronner, Jake Richards, Nate Albrant, Jayme Hiller, and Don Schaefer. Nordman hung on to capture the feature win. Richards, Moudry, Tianna Mithun, and Bronner rounded out the top five. 

Next up was the KS Engineering USRA Iron Man Stock Car Series driven by Terminator Chassis 30-lap feature event, sponsored by Christie Door Company. Pat Graham got by Minnesota's Derek Green to take the early race lead. Graham's lead was short-lived as Brandon Hare took the lead away on lap four. The first caution came out on lap five when Chris Hovden spun in turn three, collecting Randy Foote, Todd Staley, Brock Badger, Weston Koop, Paul Conrad, and Todd Reitzler. Hare held off Graham and Green on the restart. The next caution came out on lap eight when Kevin Opheim spun Chance Larson in turn two. Hare led until lap ten, when Justin Luinenburg took the lead away. Luinenburg held off the rest of the field, and not even a lap 26 caution for debris would prevent him from capturing the win. Luinenburg became the 13th different winner in the reborn Iron Man Stock Car Series in 13 races this season. Hare finished a strong second, followed by Green, twelfth-place starter Chance Hollatz, and eighteenth-place starter Dylan Clinton. Green leads over Rodney Schweizer by 16 points and Graham by 27 points in the series points standings.

The final feature of the night was the USRA Kevko Northern Lights Modified Series 30-lap feature event. Rodney Sanders and Jacob Bleess led the field to the green flag; Bleess would manage to lead the first six laps. Sanders used the top side to take the top spot away on lap seven and started to pull away. However, when Sanders encountered heavy lap traffic, Bleess was able to gain ground and even used a lap car to his advantage and get by Sanders on lap 25. Bleess held on to claim the $2,000 feature win. Sanders, fresh off a USMTS win on Saturday in Louisiana, came home second. Brandon Davis finished third, Joe Chisholm was fourth, and Shadren Turner was fifth. Davis and Chisholm are tied at the top of the points standings with 278 points. Bleess is 6 points back, followed by Sanders, 26 points back. 

Racing action continues at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Mason City Motor Speedway in Mason City on Sunday, June 15th, with the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing Series presented by Pritchard Family Auto Stores and Fertilizer Equipment Specialists. USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks, and Outlaw Mini Mods round out the card. Pits open at 3p, grandstands open at 4p, pit meeting at 5p, hot laps at 5:15p, and racing to follow.

The following week, Sunday, June 22nd, is the Joe Showalter Memorial presented by Window World of Mason City. USRA Modifieds return along with the Stock Cars, B-Mods, Hobby Stocks, and Outlaw Mini Mods. Sunday, June 29th, brings the Tri-State Late Model Series presented by Pritchard Family Auto Stores to town, along with all the USRA Summit Weekly Racing Series classes.

Laney Takes Boone's Mod Anniversary Race, Padilla Takes Corn Belt Clash

With no Brooklyn Raceway or Warren County Speedway on Saturday night, I had the option to adventure to the races somewhere instead of my 20-year high school reunion. After going through those options, I decided to make the trip to the Boone Speedway to take in night 2 of the Modified and Sport Mod Anniversary, along with night 2 of the Mod Lites Corn Belt Clash.

One hundred fifty cars checked in to tame Iowa's Action Track, including 40 Modifieds, 34 Sport Mods, and 32 Mod Lites. The racing action was exciting all night long, meaning Rod Robbins and his track team were on point as usual. The final checkered flag was waived at 9:57 pm.

The first feature of the night was the IMCA STARS Mod Lites 25-lap Corn Belt Clash feature event sponsored by Carquest Auto Truck and Farm. Jon Padilla and Ben George led the field to the green flag. Padilla led the first two laps before George used the high side to take the top spot away. Austin Gray started third and applied pressure on Padilla and George. Gray took the top spot away using the bottom side on lap eight. Padilla wouldn't go away as he would come back to reclaim the lead on lap 12. After that, the only thing slowing the top three down was the lap traffic, but Padilla was able to manage it and go on to take the $500 to win the feature that went green-to-checkered. Gray finished second, tenth place starter Charlie Brown was third, Ohio's Carson Hubbard was fourth, and George fell back to fifth.

Dusty Masolini grabbed the lead early in the 20th Anniversary IMCA Northern Sport Mods 23-lap feature, sponsored by Elmquist Towing. Masolini received pressure from rookie Mike Smith. Smith was able to take the lead away on lap six and started to slip away, but then cautions plagued the mid part of the race. First caution on lap 10 for Randy Havlik and Travis Schmidt in turn four. Smith held off Masolini and Curtis Veber on the restart, but the caution came out again four laps later on lap 14 when Dustin Lynch, Schmidt, and Dennis Pittman got together in turn two and then again on the restart when Josalyn Elmqust slowed in turn four. Smith looked to be heading on to the win; meanwhile, Matt Avila worked his way from twelfth to second. Avila was followed by Cam Reimers and Brayton Carter. On lap 19, Smith spun in turn four, allowing Avila to get by, but Smith was able to get moving. However, an inadvertent yellow came out, so Smith was given the lead back. Avila took the top spot away on lap 21 and went on to take the $1,000 feature win. Smith, Reimers, Carter, and Masolini round out the top five.

Next up was the 25-lap feature for the 46th Anniversary of the IMCA Modifieds presented by D&E Outdoor Services. Jeremy Mills and Marshalltown's winner, Cody Laney, led the field to the green. Laney snatched up the race lead right away with Mills staying close early. The only cautions came out on lap five for Ethan Braaksma going off the top of turn four and then on lap six for Robert Moore spinning in turn four. Laney was determined to make it 2 for 2 on the weekend so far as he held off Mills and tenth place starter Jake McBirnie to capture the $2,000 to win feature event. Mills finished second, McBirnie was third, Todd Shute came home fourth, and thirteenth-place starter Izac Mallicoat came in fifth.

Josalyn Elmquist led the first lap of the Boone Moose Lodge 104 IMCA Stock Cars 20-lap feature event. Kevin Opheim took the top spot away on lap two and was followed by Troy Jerovetz. The caution came out on lap four when Chris Wilke, Scott Olson, and Jerry Gifford were in turn two. Opheim held off Jerovetz and David Smith on the restart and continued to lead until the next caution came out on lap 11 when Jerry Williams spun in turn two. Smith took the top spot away on lap 14, but Opheim regained it on lap 15. That was short-lived as Smith was able to work back by Opheim on lap 16, and he would go on to take the feature win. Opheim settled for second, Josh Daniels claimed third, tenth-place starter Michael Jaennette took fourth, and Devin Smith was fifth.

The final feature of the night was the 15-lap Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stock Feature event. Before a single lap was scored, the caution came out twice. The first one is for Cody Pontious spinning in turn one then on the restart, Joey Young spins in turn one. Brandon Bombardo took the top spot when the race finally got going, fending off Brayden Fahrni and Dustin Filloon. The caution came out one more time on lap four for Micah Lavrenz and Mason Burkman spinning on the back stretch. Bombardo continued to lead the way until "Topless" Joe Doran worked his way from eleventh. Doran took the top spot away on lap eight and was able to hang on and capture the feature win. Bombardo, Will Smith, Skylar Pruitt, and Eric Knutson rounded out the top five.

Thornton Takes SLMR; Barnhill, Schafroth, Carter, Richards, Gardner, and Daniels Claim Weekly Feature Wins at Stuart

With Marshalltown racing on Thursday night this week because of a junior high rodeo taking over the fairgrounds, it meant a Friday night off in Motown. It was an amazing weather day, so with the Super Late Model Racing Series Late Models heading to the Karl Chevrolet Stuart Speedway and racing along with the weekly racing divisions, the decision was made to hop in the car to make the 93-mile one-way trip.

One hundred thirteen cars signed in to tame the quarter-mile bullring. The racing surface was fantastic, which comes as no surprise, as the dirt whisperer, Mike Van Genderen, always produces a fantastic surface to race on, and when he doesn't, he always blames himself. No worries on Friday night, as the racing track produced some amazing racing action all night long. The final checkered flag was waived at 10:46 pm.

The first feature of the night was the Hawkeye Auto Salvage IMCA Sport Compacts 14-lap feature event; Michael Gardner outwrestled Daniel Clayton for the race lead. The first caution came out on lap two, when Cejay Whisler hit a turn two infield tire. Gardner held off Curtis Masterson, Clayton, and John Martinez on the restart and started to slip away when those three started battling for position until a caution came out on lap seven for debris in turn one. Gardner held on to take his first win at Stuart. Blake Fineran worked his way from fourteenth to second, Martinez finished third, tenth-place starter Corwyn Whisler came home fourth, and twelfth-place starter Tyler Fiebelkorn was fifth.

Lucas Daniels took full advantage of the pole position in the Outlaw Mini Mods 15-lap feature event. Lucas Daniels held off Chase Daniels until Chase spun in turn four by himself, bringing out the first caution on lap five. Lucas Daniels continued to lead the way, and then a caution came out on lap 14 because Justin Winkler slowed and came to a stop in turn three, forcing a green-white-checkered finish. Lucas Daniels took the win over Bobby Daniels, seventh-place starter Bradyn Gustin, Zackary Schaefer, and Ace Wolfgram.

Next on the speedway was the Rick's Towing & Transport IMCA Hobby Stocks 16-lap feature event, "The Burglar" Andrew Burg grabbed the top spot early and started to pull away until a caution came out on lap three for Dylan Hill spinning on the front stretch and Ronnie Hill spinning in turn three. Burg continued to lead, meanwhile IMCA National Points Leader Dillon Richards worked his way from twelfth to second on lap five and started to apply pressure on Burg. Burg held him off until a caution came out on lap 13 for Erick Knutsen and Keith Burg getting together in turn four. Burg had to contend with Richards and Solomon Bennett on the restart, and this set up an exciting finish. After Bennett was shuffled out of the mix, the other two battled it out. Burg left the door open at the bottom in turn three, allowing Richards to pounce coming to the white flag. Richards grabbed the top spot to go on to take the feature win, as Bennett finished second, ninth-place starter Skylar Pruitt came home third, Alex Yoerger was fourth, and Dylan Hill came back to finish fifth.

After a brief farming session, the Super Late Model Racing Series, known as the SLMR, took to the track for their 30-lap feature event. After 3 heats, 1 B-feature, and SLMR provisionals, the 24-car field was set. Charlie McKenna and Blair Nothdurft led the field to the green; Nothdurft grabbed the race lead early. Just before Nothdurft and the rest of the top five caught up to lap traffic, the caution came out on lap six when one of the back markers, Brian Kosiski, spun in turn two, collecting back markers JJ Rodeman and Darrel DeFrance. It also resulted in Nothdurft, Jesse Sobbing, Corey Zeitner, and Dylan Thornton getting caught up; this set off some controversy on how they would line up on the restart. After about five minutes of straightening it out, racing resumed. Nothdurft led lap seven, but Sobbing would make a power move and take the top spot away on lap eight. Sobbing led the race until lap 13, when Nothdurft took the lead back. The caution came out on lap 14 when Rodeman and "The Banker," Jay Burdic, got together in turn four. Nothdurft led until lap 20, when Thornton took the race lead away. The caution came out one more time on lap 23 for Andrew Kosiski stopping in turn one. Thornton held off Sobbing and Dallon Murty on the restart and went on to take the feature win, worth a payday of $3,900 because of picking up the Skyline Materials Lucky 6th Place starter bonus money on top of the normal $3,000 to win. Sobbing finished second, and Murty charged from 11th to finish third. Nothdurft fell back to fourth, and Corey Zeitner came back to finish fifth.

Mitchell Morris led the first four laps of the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart IMCA Northern Sport Mods 20-lap feature event before fifth-place starter "Speedy Bray" Brayton Carter took the top spot away. Carter then pulled away before seeing the caution come out on lap seven for Chris Burke spinning on the top side of turn one. Carter got a great restart and checked out, appearing to cruise on to the easy win. The caution came out on lap 17 for Josalyn Elmquist spinning in turns one and two. Carter held off Jenae Gustin and Morris on the restart to take the feature win. Gustin, Morris, Randy Havlik, and Dayton Swatek rounded out the top five.

Rowdee Van Genderen outdueled Bryan Snell for the top spot early in the Affordable Quality Exteriors IMCA Stock Cars 20-lap feature event. Van Genderen hit his marks and got a little gap over the rest of the field. Buck Schafroth, Dustin Reeh, Dillon Solum, and Larry Robinson Jr. battled it out behind until a caution came out on lap 16 for Reeh spinning out in turn two. Schafroth got the best restart and made an aggressive move in turns one and two to take the race lead away. Van Genderen tried to return the favor, but Schafroth held it off. Schafroth claimed the feature win, Robinson got by Van Genderen for second, putting Rowdee in third. Solum and Dennis Elliott were fourth and fifth.

The final feature of the night was the VIP Contractors IMCA Modifieds 20-lap feature event. Colton Nelson from Osceola led the first lap, but it was Milton, Florida's Owen Barnhill who took the top spot away on lap two. Barnhill checked out and went on to capture his first feature win. Izaac Mallicoat worked his way from tenth to second, Jaxon Saathoff came home third, Nelson fell back to fourth, and ninth-place starter Riley Simmons was fifth.

Next up for the SLMR Late Models is a trip to northeast Iowa, to another one of Van Genderen's tracks, the Independence Motor Speedway in Independence for the East Series. The next West Series race is June 28th at the Adams County Speedway in Corning.

Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway's next race is on Wednesday, May 14th, for the Dynamic Drivelines Dirt Duel featuring the Dirt Crown IMCA Stock Car Series and the Eilts Fabrication Hobby Stock Challenge Series from Dirt Crown. IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Sport Compacts, and Outlaw Mini Mods round out the card.

Sanders, Hare, Griffith, Anderson, Gardner and Hogan Takes Wins on Night 2 of USMTS Spring Classic

My 2025 racing season got started with 3 nights of flagging races at the Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway, Frostbuster and then the King of the High Banks. Marshalltown saw 3 fantastic nights of racing all 3 nights and will open up the 62nd season for weekly track points on Friday April 18th. 

I finally adventured to  race where I was not working, I decided to make the trip up to support the Karl Chevrolet Buick GMC Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City for Night 2 of the USMTS Spring Classic. Initially Todd and Janet Staley was not going to promote races in Webster City after not renewing their contract following the 2024 season after the Fair board could not find another option, they went back to the Staley's to see if they would put some races on their this season and they agreed. The first being the USMTS Spring Classic this past weekend.  

Of course, I can't just go to the races and just watch, I have to bring my notebook and camera along to capture the night. A total of 94 cars signed into tame the historic Hamilton County Speedway including 28 United States Modified Touring Series. Other divisions competing was the USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks, USRA Tuners and Crown Vics. Todd Staley and the crew at the racing surface in fantastic shape all night long. 

The featured headliner was the 40 lap main event for the Summit USMTS National Championship presented by RacinDirt. Joe Chisholm grabbed the top spot lap 1, fending off Tom Berry Jr., but Berry refused to go away and he would snatch up the race lead using the high side on lap two. Rodney Sanders, who won on Friday night made the pass on Chisholm for second place before a caution on lap five when Alex Williamson had a flat tire. Berry held off Sanders on the restart to maintain the top spot as Zack VanderBeek used the low side to grab third place. Sanders applied pressure on Berry on lap 12 but slipped up allowing VanderBeek to get by Sanders for second on lap 13. Berry continued to lead until lap 20 when he clipped a lap car flattening his tire, that handed the lead over to Sanders. Sanders started to pull away but the caution came out on lap 36 and on lap 37 when Tanner Mullens had a flat tire. On lap 38, Kyle Strickler would see his engine finally expire after smoke came from the car early in the race. Sanders held on to capture his 123rd USMTS win and complete the sweep of the weekend. VanderBeek came home second, Jim Chisholm was third, Williamson came back for fourth place finish and Joe Chisholm finished fifth. Kyle Brown, Terry Phillips, Trevor Hughes, Mullens and Keith Foss finished sixth through tenth. 

In the USRA Stock Cars 20 lap feature, Todd Reitzler jumped out to the race lead and pulled away. Brandon Hare from Elma was patient and use the top side of the speedway slowly reeling in Reitzler. As Reitzler encountered lap traffic and took the short distance around the speedway, Hare was using the high side. Hare made the last corner pass to secure the victory by a razor thin margin over Reitzler. Parker Slagle, Dylan Clinton and Derek Green roudned out the top five.

USRA B-Mod sixteen lap feature event saw Decorah's Dan Hovden lead the first 4 laps before 2024 USRA B-Mod National Champion Ty Griffith took the top spot away. Griffith pulled away until the only race catuion came out on lap 14 for David Crimmins in turn four. Griffith went on to capture the win ahead of Hovden, Kaeden Bronner, James Richert and Bryer McCoy.

In the USRA Hobby Stocks 16 lap feature, Scott Dobel from Manly led the opening lap before Welcome, Minnesota's Parker Anderson capture the top spot. Dobel would not go away but he was then challenge by Bryce Sommerfeld for second before the only caution came out on lap five when Joshua Monson slowed in turn three. Anderson held off Sommerfeld and Dobel and cruised on to the win. Sommerfeld came home second, Dobel finished third, Dustin Gulbrandson was fourth and Jeremy Crimmins in fifth. 

Michael Gardner from Des Moines used the pole position to his advance by leading all 10 laps of the USRA Tuners feature event. Jeremy Hills from Postville ran second the entire distance, Charles Prime from Britt in third. Christopher Buchanan from Osceola was fourth and Duncombe's Landon Lyon was fifth. Most likely the only appearance of the Tuners this season in Webster City. 

Crown Vics 10 lap feature saw Nate Hogan lead the first six laps before Nick Hogan was able to capture the top spot away. However the caution came out on lap eight when Nick Hogan slowed on the back stretch that gave the lead back to Nate. Nate Hogan went on to take the feature win meanwhile Nick Hogan worked his way back through the field to finish second. Nick Sawdy, Nolan Machovec and T.J. Williams rounded out the top five. 

Next up for the Karl Chevrolet Buick GMC Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City is Friday April 25th and Saturday April 26th with the headliners being the Iron Man USRA Stock Car Series paying $1,200 to win Friday and $2,000 to win on Saturday.
