Berry Wins Again on Triple E Insulators Night in MoTown

As the Month of July wraps up its hard to think in a few weeks weekly racing action will be completed before the hopes of getting all fall specials in looms. Marshalltown Speedway did exactly that as they wrapped up the month of July on a very beautiful Friday Night for Triple E Insulators Night at the Races.

One Hundred Twenty One cars signed in to tame the high banked quarter mile race track located on the Central Iowa Fairgrounds. Fourteen MADCRA Mod Lites, 30 IMCA Hobby Stocks, 19 IMCA Sport Mods, 22 IMCA Stock Cars, 15 IMCA Late Models and 21 IMCA Modifieds.

First feature of the night was the 15 lap MADCRA Mod Lites feature event. Cliff Barber driving Kevin Grisham's car led the first lap but it was Joel Huggins known as "Huggie Bear" grabbing the top spot on lap two. Huggins wrestled the lead away and fend off several challenges from Mike Morrill to take his first feature win in Motown. Morrill finished second, Points leader Randy Bryan finished third, Ben George was fourth and Travis Stensland was fifth.

Ryan King wrestled the early in the 18 lap IMCA Sport Mods feature but the caution came out on lap two. The caution came out when Austin Kaplan blew the transmission exiting turn four leaving debris all over the front stretch. King held off Joseph Luethje and Kyle Olson. King led until the caution came out again on lap four for Cory Petotnik and Jared Dew in turn four. Johnathon Logue got a great restart and took over the race lead. The caution came out on lap eight when Dennis Stewart spun in turn two and then again on lap nine when Luethje and Dew spun turn two. Logue held off King and Kyle Olson and appeared to be heading on to the easy win until the caution was displayed one final time on lap 14 for Pestotnik, Dew and Brian Lepa in turn two. Logue held off any challenges to take his second win in Motown this season. Olson finished runner-up honors, eleventh place starter Garrett Nelson finished third, Travis Peterson was fourth and King was fifth.

In the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature event, Nathan Ballard led from start to finish fending off several early challenges from Jacob Floyd. Lap two saw a caution when Scott Ellis spun in turn four. Ben Newhouse spun in turn one on lap five also bring out a caution. Ballard was not fazed and got great restarts however the caution came out again on lap ten, not once but twice. First caution was for Mike Kincaid, Gary Pfantz and Tom Killen spin exiting turn four. The restart saw Scott Durlin, Newhouse, William Klosterman, Matt Wahl and Shane Palmer get togther exiting turn four. Ballard went on to claim the win ahead of Floyd, Braden Richards, Solomon Bennett and Tyler Ollendieck.

Bobby Hansen grabbed the early lead in the 20 lap IMCA Late Models feature before the caution came out on lap four. The caution came out when Thomas Stevens spun in turn two and then again on the restart when a buried infield tire was ripped out of the ground. Hansen held off Curtis Glover and Darrel DeFrance on the restart and continued to lead until lap eight when Glover took the lead over. Glover settled out front until the caution came out on lap 11 for Randy Faux spinning top side of turn four. Glover went on to take the feature event. Luke Pestka wrestled the second place ahead of DeFrance. Logan Duffy and Hansen finished fourth and fifth respectively. DeFrance heads into next week with a three point gap over Duffy which means it will come down to the final checkered next week.

The Class Too Tough Too Tame is the IMCA Stock Cars and they were up next for their 18 lap feature event. Jason Hall led the first lap before the caution came out when Jim Ball Jr slid off turn two. Kenzie Ritter got great restart and grabbed the lead away from Hall before Dallon Murty worked his way through the field. Dallon Murty grabbed the race lead on lap nine and after fending off Kenzie Ritter pulled away just bit. Dallon Murty took his second win at Marshalltown ahead of Damon Murty, Kenzie Ritter, David Atcher and Tyler Pickett.

A friend of the Trackside Report, Josh Capalla finally got a full night of racing in and got to see the checkered flag crossing the finish line in fifteenth place, he did a great job in only fourth night behind the wheel.

Final feature of the night was the 20 lap IMCA Modifieds feature event. Garrett Wilson grabbed the race lead but on lap three jumped the cushion in turns three and four allowing Tom Berry Jr to take over the race lead. Berry pulled away and never really looked back until the caution came out on lap fifteen. The caution was for Ronnie Hults going off top of turn three and then on the restart for Jared Van Deest spinning in turn one collecting Hults. Berry held off Scott Simatovich and Anthony Hofbauer to take the win. That is win number six and third in a row at MoTown. Hofbauer, Tim Ward, Ronn Lauritzen and Scott Simatovich round out the top five.
