All the time people ask me when I am going to make the trip down to the Southern Iowa Speedway for a night of racing action again; well, on Wednesday night I did exactly that. Someone said to me when they heard I was planning to make the 65-mile trip down, 'Oh, you are coming down because the late models are here,' and my response was, 'I have other reasons.' One of those reasons did not even come to say hey to me, and I know what they would say, but it was nice to see some other friends I had not seen in a while.

A total of eighty-two cars over six divisions, including 21 late models, checked in to tame the monster half-mile known as the Southern Iowa Speedway, located on the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds in Oskaloosa (Osky). It was the Gary Wilson Memorial race sponsored by Outer Limits Truck Repair Inc., and it featured extra money on the line in all the weekly divisions. The racing action was fantastic all night, and you could race the bottom, middle, or top grooves. The final checkered flag was waved at 10:47pm.

By the time I returned to the car and drove back to Marshalltown, I arrived in my driveway at 12:15 am. I then got all my photos uploaded and on the Trackside Report by Foxman Facebook page. I took another glance at MyRacePass to check the results of my fantasy picks from Osky last night, and guess what? I was 1st in fantasy picks last night. Okay, let's talk more about the racing action from last night.

The first feature of the night was the Sport Compacts 10-lap feature event. Brandon Allison jumped out to the quick race lead and was followed by Cole Hughes. They ran like that until the caution came out before completing lap five when Hughes had a tyre rub that caused a small fire; it ended Hughes's night. Allison held off Seth Meinders and Dalton Sowers on the restart and led the final 6 laps en route to win number two in Osky. Meinders finished second, Sowers was third, Caleb Hildebrand was fourth and Katelynn Watts took fifth.

Colton Livezey grabbed the early lead in the Oskaloosa Quality Rentals Sport Mods 14-lap feature event. Livezey led until the only race caution came out on lap four. Brayton Carter took the lead away on the restart and never looked back, going on to take win number three on the home track. Livezey finished second, with tenth-place starter Curtis VanDerWal in third. Kyle Harwood and Carter VanDenBerg were fourth and fifth, respectively.

In the Stout Trucking Hobby Stocks 14-lap feature event, it was Dustin Griffiths grabbing the race lead from the drop of the green flag by Doug Haack. Brad Stephens snatched up second early. The only caution came out on lap four when Skyler Meyer spun in turn three in front of the leader. Griffiths was determined to not be denied as he would lead the remaining 10 laps to capture win number five. Keaton Gorden got by Stephens to take second, putting Stephens in third. Tyson Overton and Kris Walker rounded out the top five.

Next up was a 25-lap feature for the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series. Norfolk, Nebraska: Tad Pospisil had the option to start six for the Skyline Lucky Six starting spot since he had the highest point total from qualifying and heats but passed and ended up redrawing lucky number two. Pospisil took full advantage of starting on the front row and outwrestled fellow Nebraskan and pole sitter Jake Neal for the race lead. Pospisil then got separation, but when lap traffic started picking up, that allowed Jason Hahne, who got by Neal for second, and Neal to reel him back in. Chad Simpson, who got to start six, and "Snow Drift" Blair Nothdurft battled it out for fourth. Pospisil led all 25 caution-free laps to capture his 50th career SLMR Series win. Hahne finished second; Simpson was able to get by Neal and Nothdurft for third; Neal was fourth, and Nothdurft was fifth. Heat winners were Troy Morris III, Jacob Hobscheidt, and Dylan Sillman. Hahne set an overall quick time in group 2 with a 18.519-second lap; Dylan Thornton was quickest in group 1 with a 18.522 and Pospisil in group 3 with a 18.759. The Skyline Lucky Six bonus will now increase to $1,000 on Saturday at Scotland County.

Before a lap was scored in Doug's Four Wheelers Crown Vics 10-lap feature, there was a caution when Mike Walsh spun exiting turn two after hitting an infield tire. On the restart, the battle out front heated up quickly between Wade Francis, Trent Kerr, and Brendan Nantz. Francis led the first lap, and shortly after, the caution came out again, this time when Kira Doty bounced off the wall in turn two, forcing Walsh to have nowhere to go and making contact. Doty unfortunately exited the pits. Once again the battle for the race lead heated up; Kerr led the first four laps before Francis took the lead briefly on lap five. Kerr regained it on lap six, Francis took it back on lap seven, and Cole Hughes captured it on lap eight before Francis regained it on lap nine. Francis captured win number three ahead of Hughes, Kerr, Nantz, and Russell Bauer.

The final feature of the night went to the class known as the Class Too Tough To Tame, the Midstate Machine Stock Cars 14-lap event. Brock Haines jumped out to the race lead at the drop of the green flag, and he led the first six laps before a caution came out. The first caution was for Mark Karg losing a driveshaft on the front stretch and then spinning in turn one. Dustin Griffiths took the top spot away on the restart, and it appeared he was going to do just enough to go capture the win, but the caution came out on lap 11 when Luke Byers spun in turn two. Griffiths had to battle with Nathan Wood, Haines, Andrew Schroeder and Derrick Agee on the restart. Griffiths held them off initially, but it was Wood that used the quick lane and got by coming to the white flag. Wood captured win number three in Osky. Griffiths settled for second, Schroeder took third, Haines fell back to fourth, and Agee was fifth.

The next race at the Southern Iowa Speedway is next Wednesday, July 1st, and it will be Southern Iowa Speedway Hall of Fame Induction Night. This year's class are Larry Mathes, Ron Ver Beek, Bill Shipman, Mike Niffenegger and Bill Zwanziger. It's also Kids' Night, sponsored by Middlekoop Seed and Dickey Transport. Stock cars, sport mods, hobby stocks, sport compacts, Crown Vics and vintage cars all look to tame the monster half-mile. Pits open at 5p, grandstands at 6:30p, hot laps at 7:15p, and racing at 7:45p. 

Then they will take a week off and return for the Southern Iowa Fair Races on Wednesday July 15th and Thursday July 16th. July 15th is the 8th Annual Caleb Hammond Memorial sponsored by Stout Trucking, Van Uterecht Farms & Trucking and Peterson Motorsports, featuring all the weekly classes; then on July 16th, the Sprint Invaders invade Osky along with the Hobbys and Stock cars.

You won't have to wait until next year before Super Late Models return to the Southern Iowa Speedway, as you'll want to mark your calendars as the World of Outlaws Late Model Series tames the monster on Wednesday, August 26th, for the Oskaloosa Corn Belt Showdown.

Up next for the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series is an East Series event, 80 miles down the road at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Missouri. Joining them will be stock cars, B-mods, and hobby stocks. If you can't catch it in person, watch on Done Right TV on RaceOn. Then the West Series has a standalone event at US 30 Speedway in Columbus, Nebraska, on Thursday, July 2nd. Before the next Iowa race is on Wednesday, July 15th, kicking off the Silver Dollar Nationals promoted by I-80 Promotions at the Shelby County Speedway in Harlan.

Well, this seems to be a typical weekend for me. When the rest of the family departs, Mother Nature appears to cause chaos. Friday night got rained out at Marshalltown as rain moved in around 2 pm and did not stop until about 5 pm, so instead I went and watched a high school baseball game because it did not look favourable for Tipton to race, and that would have been a one-hour-and-forty-five-minute drive one way. I chose not to take the risk. Saturday night, I had options. I again considered Tipton, but after their Friday night program got moved to Saturday afternoon, it was going to be a long day of racing there. I passed and brought my options down to Boone, Hamilton County and Independence.

Eventually I decided to attend Boone for the Bayer Crop Science Hawkeye Challenge and Saturday Night Weekly racing. A total of two hundred and twenty-six cars signed in to tame Iowa's Action Track, including the Sprint Kings' sprint cars. The new double feature format would be run in the stock cars (50 entries) and hobby stocks (42 entries). Modifieds, Sport Mods and Mod Lites each ran 1 feature. The Sprint Kings are a mixture of IMCA RaceSavers and Knoxville Sprint Cars, and only 6 of them showed up.

Night was action-packed all night long, and the final chequered flag waved at 11:26 pm, meaning I was back home in Motown a little after 12:30 am. Hawkeye Challenge paid $1,000 to win to be the overall winner and $500 to win your class. 

The first big dance race of the night was the Bayer Crop Science Hawkeye Challenge, featuring four cars from each of the six classes, giving you twenty-four cars. Laps to be overall champion: Sprint Cars 25 laps, Modifieds 23 laps, Sport Mods 22 laps, Mod Lites 22 laps, Stock Cars 21 laps and Hobby Stocks 20 laps, meaning technically the Hobby Stocks had a 5-lap advantage over the Sprint Cars. Eric Knutson took the overall win and Hobby Stock win, pocketing $1,000. Austin Grey, driving a Mod Lite, finished second overall and took the Mod Lites. Cam Reimers finished third overall and took the Sport Mods. Jeremy Mills was fourth overall and took the Modifieds. Michael Jaennette was fifth overall and took the stock cars. The top sprint car was Luke Lane, and he completed 24 laps. and finished 15th overall. 

Landon Elliott jumped out to the race lead early in the IMCA STARS Mod Lites 15-lap feature event sponsored by Carquest Auto, Truck, and Farm. The only caution came out on lap two when Colin Anderson spun on the bottom of turn four. Elliott held on to the race lead until Josh May had worked his way from eleventh to the race lead on lap five. May was quickly followed by Austin Gray, coming from twelfth place. Elliott ran third, but when the checkered flag waved, it was May capturing his second win of the season in Boone. Gray, Elliott, tenth-place starter Bryan Zehm, and Jaxon Carr rounded out the top five.

In the IMCA Northern Sport Mods sponsored by Elmquist Towing 18-lap feature event, Brayden Shepherd took full advantage of his pole position and grabbed the race lead. Jason Carney ran second until mechanical issues forced him to slow exiting turn four, resulting in Dayton Swatek having nowhere to go. Shepherd held off Ryan King and Curtis Veber on the restart, and despite a late race charge by eleventh-place starter Mike Smith, nobody had anything for Shepherd. Finishing behind Shepherd were Smith, Veber, King, and thirteenth-place starter Dusty Masolini.

Jeff Wilke led the first six laps of the Sprint Kings 15-lap feature event before Luke Lane took the top spot away. Lane pulled away from Wilke and went on to capture the feature win, pocketing $600 in the effort. Wilke finished second, Joshua Jones was third, Tim Young came home fourth, and Derrike Clark was fifth.

Next on the race track was the 20-lap IMCA Modifieds feature event presented by D&E Outdoor Services. Brandon Leeman outwrestled the lead at the drop of the green from fellow front-row starter Colton Nelson and then was followed by Ronn Lauritzen and Ethan Robey. Leeman appeared to be going on to the win as the battle heated up behind him for position. The only race caution came out on lap 13 when Adam Wasserman, Paul Nagle, Griffin Taylor, and Dan Wagner got together in turn two. Leeman held off Robey and Laurtizen on the restart initially, but Robey refused to go away and applied pressure. Robey took the race lead away and held on to capture his first career Modified feature win. Lauritzen took second, tenth-place starter Jeremy Mills took third, Todd Shute was fourth, and fourteenth-place starter Trevor Fitz was fifth.

The first division to run two feature events was the IMCA Stock Cars presented by Boone Moose Lodge 104, with both features being 20 laps long. In feature number 1, Thor Anderson and Robert Stofer led the field to green. Anderson jumped out to the race lead. The first caution came out on lap three when Johnathon Logue spun, resulting in Matthew Meinecke, Josh Daniels, Cole Nordman, Brandon Gritz, and Donavon Smith getting together in turn four. Logue was able to get moving before the yellow. A lap later another caution came out when Josh Vanwinkle spun in turn four. Anderson continued to lead the way. The final cautions came out on lap nine when Joe Brenner came to a stop on the backstretch and then on the restart when Logue was spun by John Ades in turn four. Anderson held on to the lead for another lap but then slipped up just enough, allowing Doug Smith to take the top spot away on lap 11. Doug Smith went on to capture win number two in Boone. Pickett, Meinecke, twenty-second place starter Jay Schmidt, and Anderson rounded out the top five.

In feature number two, Kyle Everts led the first nine laps before Devin Smith was able to take the top spot away on lap ten. The first caution came out on lap 11 when Sam West spun in turn four. The next caution came out when Michael Hotze spun in turn two as Lincoln Vansickel spun in turn four. Devin Smith looked strong and fended off Jimmy Gustin, Everts, and tenth-place starter Michael Jaennette on the restart. Smith appeared to be heading on to the feature win, but the caution came out when Matt Speiss spun exiting turn two, forcing a green-white-checkered. Devin Smith hung on to capture feature win number three in Boone. Gustin took second, Jaennette was third, thirteenth-place starter Blake Lehman was fourth, and John Watson took fifth.

The last two feature events come from the IMCA Hobby Stocks, sponsored by Pickett Salvage, with both features 15 laps in length. In feature number 1, Michael Johnson Jr. outwrestled the race lead from pole starter Ethan Dirks. Johnson was followed by Aron Fye. Braden Gifford worked his way from sixth to the race lead on lap five. Braden Gifford was followed by Will Smith, and this set up a good battle for the race lead out front. The first two cautions came out on lap seven; Dirks spun in turn two, and then on the restart, Dylan Hill came to a stop in turn one. Gifford continued to lead the way until lap 12, when he would spin in turn three after contact from Johnson, which would allow Will Smith to take over the race lead. Smith and Wayne Gifford battled it out in the final three laps, with Wayne Gifford going on to capture the feature win. Smith finished second, a tenth-place starter. Corey VanDerWilt was third, thirteenth-place starter Max Pogeler was fourth, and seventeenth-place starter Ben Newhouse was fifth. 

In feature number two, Kendal Madsen II grabbed the race lead from the drop of the green, but shortly after lap one, the caution came out when Brayson Siegle and Josh Vancannon spun in turn four. Madsen continued to lead, but the caution came out again after lap two was scored when Russell Kilsaris broke on the backstretch. Madsen led until lap seven when Joey Young was able to take the lead away. The next caution came out on lap seven for Darin DeZwarte in turn four. Young looked to be strong, but the caution came out two more times on lap 11, first for Ryler Zeigmann up into the wall exiting turn four and then Eric Knutson spinning on the backstretch exiting turn two, resulting in Nathan Parkhill having nowhere to go. Young held off Alex Yoerger to capture the feature win. Yoeger was second, Tanner Jones was third, Matt McDonald was fourth, and Shane Butler was fifth. The hard charger of the feature was sixth-place finisher Zach Day, who came from twentieth place.

Three nights of racing at 3 different tracks in 2 different cities in one weekend? Yes, you are reading that right. On Friday night, I had my normal flagging duties at the Marshalltown Speedway; on Saturday night, I filled in for my buddy Braxton Flattery at the Webster County Speedway in Fort Dodge behind the microphone; and on Sunday night, if that wasn't enough, I returned to Fort Dodge but this time across Highway 169 at the Sports Park Raceway presented by Fort Dodge Ford Lincoln Toyota. I do want to give a big thanks to Cody Wirt, the Webster County Fairboard and the rest of the team at Webster County Speedway for making it so fun and easy for this guy to fill in on Saturday. That is a great track, so check out a race there. Okay, let's get back to what happened at Sports Park Raceway on Sunday.

Last week at Sports Raceway Park, they got two heats in and the third heat race of the night on the track before rain rolled in, forcing the cancellation. This week was a little different as one hundred and twenty-three cars signed in to tame the 4/10-mile high-banked dirt oval on a picture-perfect Sunday night. It was Matt's Tire Service IMCA Sport Compacts, which was the featured class running for extra money, and the first appearance of the IMCA STARS Mod Lites, which brought 21 cars. The Toftee family put Hard Charger Awards up in 6 classes; only divisions not included are Vintage Cars and Mod Lites.

Brandon Toftee and Jeff Frevert produced a fantastic racing surface to race on all night. Sarah Stewart and the rest of the team did an amazing job as well. The final checkers waved at 10:06 pm, slightly later than they wanted to, but all in all it was a great night of racing. I want to thank them for the hospitality and plan on making some more trips to Sports Park Raceway this season. It was nice to have a conversation with Danielle Ayers from Danielle Ayers Photography down in the infield before the races, so if you want to see more cool shots besides mine which has the links below, check her page out.

The first feature of the night was the Culver's of Fort Dodge and Carroll 4.6L Crown Vics for their 10-lap feature event. Nick Sawdy grabbed the top spot early in the feature and received pressure from Nick Hogan. On lap two, though, Nick Hogan spun off the top of turn one, bringing out the yellow. Sawdy fended off Gerald Ford and Nate Hogan on the restart, but the caution came out again on lap four when Dakota Flogstad spun in turn one and then pulled out on the racing surface and stopped to bring the yellow out. Two more cautions came out on lap five when Cody Fogleman spun in turn three and then when Sawdy spun exiting turn two, resulting in Nate Hogan having nowhere to go. Hogan was giving his spot back, which technically now was the race lead. Nate Hogan held off the challenges from Greg Dollens to capture the win. Dollens finished second, Cyle Marsh was third, Nick Hogan worked back to finish fourth and Taylor Andringa took fifth. Nate Hogan was also the Toftee Family Hard Charger advancing 11 spots. 

Pickett Salvage Vintage Cars was up next for their 10-lap feature. In the heat races, the different classes of vintage cars run separate heats, but in the feature, they all run together with the Super Stocks starting at the front and the Street Stocks at the back. However, before a single lap was scored, the caution came out when Mark Chance flipped on his roof in turn three. He climbed from the car, but it ended his night. On the restart, Brad Pinkerton, driving the 62XL Hunnell Racing hot rod, jumped out to the race lead, and he was followed by Dino Rodish. Those two pulled away, but then there were cautions on lap four for Todd Jansonius spinning in turn two and lap seven when Rex Jansonius was spun by John Hunnell in turn three. Pinkerton led all ten laps, capturing the overall win and the Super Stock win. Rodish finished second; Rex Jansonius finished third and won the Street Stock class. Brent McClendon was fourth and the runner-up in the Street Stocks, and he was followed by Josh McClendon. 

Next up was the first appearance of the season for the IMCA STARS Mod Lites for their 15-lap feature event. Austin Gray grabbed the race lead from the drop of the green flag, and just after lap one was scored, the caution came out when Kansas City, Missouri racer Dillon Raffurty came to a stop off the top side of turn two. Gray got a great restart and fended off Riley Clem, but it was Randy Bryan that would begin to pressure Gray for the top spot. Gray led until lap 13, when Bryan was able to pounce and take the lead away. Bryan went on to take the win; meanwhile, Josh may got by Gray for second with two to go. Gray, Clem, and Tracen Glick rounded out the top five. 

In the Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stocks 15-lap feature event, it was Brian Ashburn leading the opening lap. Seth Butler took the lead away on lap two from Ashburn. The first caution came out on lap five when Solomon Bennett and Macon Robinson spun in turn three. Butler had to contend with Braden Gifford and Adam Tiernan on the restart. Gifford managed to work his way by Butler on lap eight to capture the race lead. The final caution came out on lap ten when CJ McGregor spun in turn three right in front of the leaders. Gifford got a great restart and went on to capture his second win of the weekend; he also won Friday in Marshalltown. Butler finished second, Drew Barglof was third, Lucas Smith was in fourth, and Will Smith was fifth. Gifford was the hard charger, advancing eleven spots. 

Kamdyn Haggard and Drew Fett lead the field to the green flag in the White Transfer & Storage IMCA Northern Sport Mods 15-lap feature. Haggard was quick to jump out to the race lead and got just enough separation between him and Fett. The only race caution came out on lap five when Preston Bright spun in turn two. Haggard again got a great restart, and he was determined to capture the feature win at a racetrack about 20 miles from his hometown. Haggard came across the line first and captured his first career IMCA Northern Sport Mod win. Having known Kamdyn since his young go-kart days, I was happy to see him take a feature win finally, and I know his dad Dustin was excited; I am sure both are still smiling today. Finishing behind Haggard were Drew Fett, Hunter Longnecker, Alec Fett, and Mike Smith. Alec Fett and Smith each moved up four spots and would have been the hard chargers. but I think the Toftee Family bonus went to Fett.

Tyler Pickett led the first five laps of the Marsh Concrete IMCA Stock Cars 15-lap feature before Ryan Roath took the top spot away. Pickett left the door open on lap six, and Roath took advantage to take the race lead and then pulled away to take the feature win in the caution-free feature event. Pickett held on to finish second; Parker Slagle was third, Karter Evans in fourth, and Blake Lehman in fifth. Hard Charger was Kyle Rose, advancing seven spots from fourteenth to finish seventh.

Chaz Baca has looked like the master of Sports Park Raceway in the United Plant Services IMCA Modifieds 15-lap features this season because very quickly he outwrestled the lead from Jason Bass and never looked back in the feature that also went caution-free. Baca captured the win ahead of Bass, Jesse Patterson, Colby Fett, and Jake McBirnie. Fett, Andy Tiernan, and Robert Moore all technically tied for the hard charger, but it would go to Fett.

The final feature of the night was the Matt's Tire Service IMCA Sport Compacts Special, paying $500 to win for the winner. Chase Roath from New River, Arizona, and Mitchell Bunch led the field to the green flag. Roath grabbed the top spot and fended off Bunch; Brooke Osler got by Bunch for second and began to apply pressure to Roath. Osler led lap seven, but Roath figured out how to get back by Osler on lap eight. Roath went on to capture the feature win, making it a family affair, joining his dad as a feature winner on the night. Tyler Housley came across the line in second; Osler slipped back to third. Bunch came across in the fourth spot but was disqualified in post-race tech, handing the fourth spot over to Michael Gardner. Tyler Fiebelkorn came home in fifth and was the hard charger of the race, moving up nine spots.

Next week, the Sports Park Raceway presented by Fort Dodge Ford Lincoln will sit silent as they head over to the motocross course on the grounds for the RJ Motorsports Iowa Moto Series Round #5, Fort Dodge MX, on Saturday and Sunday, June 20th and 21st.
