On Sunday, I decided to make the trip over to the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway for the ASCS Midwest Region and Sprint Invaders co-sanctioned 360 Sprints event. They also had five IMCA-sanctioned divisions: Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, and Sport Compacts. It was a chamber of commerce race day for once, as it was sunny with beautiful blue skies; however, the only thing that made it not feel so great was the northly winds making it a little chilly. 

This was the season opener for the Malvern Bank ASCS Midwest Region presented by Hoosier Tire 360 Sprints. Rainout on April 11th forced the Mohrfeld Electric Sprint Invaders to begin their season in the co-sanctioned event sponsored by Conrad's Pillow Pets, Choice Inc., Hawkeye Auto, and Storm Lake Honda. The event would also be the first sprint car race in the state of Iowa this season, because Knoxville Raceway was cancelled on Saturday. That brought fourty-one sprint cars to the bullring on the northwest corner of Stuart, Iowa. IMCA divisions had a total of one hundred and eighteen cars, bringing the total of cars to one hundred and fifty-nine entries. 

Mike Van Genderen and the track crew produced a very fast track. There was excitement in every feature event. The final checkers was waived at 10:50p. I was back at home in Marshalltown at 12:32a. Yes, it was on a Sunday night and made it hard to wake up on Monday morning, but it was well worth it. I am glad I decided to go despite being cold. Of course I got pictures during hot laps and heat races, and they are posted on the Trackside Report by Foxman Facebook Page in a photo album titled Stuart ASCS Midwest Region / Sprint Invaders Show 4-19-26. Tony Paris was right about one thing: there were plenty of announcers in the house last night besides himself. There was Bill Wright (Sprint Invaders), Ryan Kumpf (ASCS Midwest Region), Jeff Broeg, Anthony Ainslie, and myself. Although I am only a part-timer any more, as I have traded the microphone in for a headset, radios, and flags, even that many announcers in the house could not create enough hot air to warm it up.

The first feature of the night was the Hawkeye Auto IMCA Sport Compacts 14-lap feature event. Michael Gardner jumped out to the race lead early, with Carson Hayes grabbing second before Tyler Fiebelkorn began to pressure both of them out front. Gardner led until the caution came out on lap four for Joseph Carolus spinning in turn four. Hayes stole the race lead away on the restart, fending off Fiebelkorn and brother Rece Hayes; Gardner fell back. Corbin Funke worked his way to second and then took over from Carson Hayes with 5 laps to go. Funke went on to claim the feature win. Fiebelkorn was second, Carson Hayes was third, Nebraska's Johnny Thomas was fourth, and Daniel Clayton was fifth.

 
The Karl Chevrolet of Stuart IMCA Northern Sport Mods was up next for a scheduled 20-lap feature event; however, it would be cut short. We will explain. It was "The Boss" Josalyn Elmquist wrestling the race lead away from fellow front-row starter Gage Hilgenberg. Jake Sachau worked his way from tenth to third by lap three. The first caution came out shortly after when Kaden Rice was spun around in turn four by Brayden Shepherd. On the following restart, Preston Bright spun in turn one, with Jackson Elmquist and Cam Reimers having nowhere to go. Elmquist held on to the race, but the caution came out again after lap four was scored when Mitchell Morris spun in turn four. This time, Sachau took the lead away from Elmquist, leaving her to battle with Brayton Carter. Lap six saw another caution when Bright spun in turn two, and lap nine for Jarrett VanDenBerg and Jessiah Taylor in turn one. Race control made the decision to cut the event down from 20 laps to 15 laps. Another caution came out on lap 11 for Hilgenberg spinning in turn 4 and then on lap 12 for Bailey Stimson in turn 4. Drivers were then told the next caution or checkers would end the race. Sachau went on to capture the feature win. Dylan Van Wyk worked his way from eleventh to finish second; Carter was third. Elmquist was spun on the last lap by Dalton Swatek in turn two, resulting in race control giving Elmquist her spot back and punishing Swatek. With Elmquist in fourth, Will Wolf will now be granted fifth.

 
Next up after a brief farm session was the Malvern Bank ASCS Midwest Region presented by Hoosier Tire and Mohrfeld Electric Sprint Invaders 360 Sprints for their 25-lap feature. The original plan was to use group qualifying to line up the heats, but they scrapped them after a scoring hiccup forced officials to go back to the pill draw and use passing points to line up the feature races. There was also something called the "Top Dog Challenge," where the drivers put in one hundred dollars, and if they won the feature, they would take that money on top of the $2,000 to win event. Colton Fisher jumped out and set a quick early speed, but just as he was working lap traffic on lap nine, he slowed entering turn one before coming to a stop exiting turn two. Chase Brown inherited the race lead when the race resumed with two-time Sprint Invaders champion Chris Martin in second. Martin used lap traffic to get by Brown on lap nineteen; he would go on to capture the win. It was worth $4,000, and as Martin took the Top Dog Challenge, he had veteran racer Danny Lasoski as his crew chief. Austin McCarl came across in second; Brown fell back to third. Snohomish, Washington, racer Seth Bergman was fourth. Cameron Martin came from seventeenth to finish fifth.

 
In the Diversified Towing & Recovery IMCA Stock Cars 20-lap feature event, "The Flyin' Bomb Pop" Miciah Hidlebaugh grabbed the race lead early but would continue to receive some pressure from Todd Van Eaton and Brad Derry. Van Eaton had an early exit when he had a tire send him to the pits. The first caution came out shortly after on lap seven when Michael Cheney spun in turn four. Hidlebaugh continued to lead the way but had to fend off Milton, Florida, racer Owen Barnhill and Derry on the restart. The next race caution came out on lap 14 when Barnhill blew up going into turn one. Hidlebaugh now had to deal with Beatrice, Nebraska racer Dillon Richards, who came from twelfth, and Buck Schafroth on the restart. The final caution came out on lap 16 for Derry spinning on the front stretch after Derry and Larry Robinson Jr. battled for the same real estate. Schafroth got by Hidlebaugh to capture the victory; Hidlebaugh settled for second. Richards, Austin Meiners, and Season Opener feature winner Mike Albertsen rounded out the top five.

After the field of thirty-five Rick's Towing & Transport IMCA Hobby Stocks dwindled down to 24 cars after 4 heats and the B feature, it was time for their 16-lap feature event. Shane Butler grabbed the early race lead and looked to be a strong force as the battle between Braden Gifford, Rusty Bates, Briar Kriegel, Kale Hemsley, and Solomon Bennett heated up. As Butler remained out, they were swapping spots behind him. Then came a pair of cautions on lap six, the first one for Skylar Pruitt spinning on the front stretch after a right rear tire went down, and then on the restart when Spencer Hopwood spun in turn four. Butler led one more lap before suddenly losing some power and exiting, giving the lead over to Gifford. Gifford held off Bates and twelfth-place starter Keith Burg. Gifford went on to capture the victory. Tom Killen Jr. worked his way to capture runner-up late, followed by Burg, Kriegel, and fourteenth-place starter Adam Hensel.

  The final feature of the night was the Diversified Sales & Service IMCA Modifieds 20-lap feature event. Tyler Inman outwrestled Chase Weimer for the race lead at the drop of the green. Weimer ran second until Tom Berry Jr. grabbed second away. Berry Jr. managed to pull a slider on lap eight to capture the lead, but Inman refused to go away. The following several laps, they each traded sliders in every corner. On lap 13, the battle between those two came to an end as Berry spun in turn three after what race control deemed a racing deal. Which was the correct call? If there was any contact at all, it was minimal and both did not want to give in. However, under yellow, Berry then ran into Inman, resulting in a black flag over the race receiver. Inman remained out as the leader, but a slight bobble in turn one resulted in Todd Shute taking over the race lead on lap 16. Shute went on to capture the victory. Inman was unable to regain the lead and came home second. Weimer was third, Jesse Dennis was fourth, and Troy Morris III was fifth.

The next race at Stuart Speedway is the make-up of Dynamic Drivelines Dirt Duel on Wednesday, April 29th. IMCA-sanctioned Modifieds, Stock Cars, and Sport Mods are $1,000 to win. IMCA Hobby Stocks are $500 to win, and IMCA Sport Compacts are $250 to win, plus the Outlaw Mini Mods and Crown Vics. Gates open at 5p, hot laps at 6:45p, and racing to follow. Grandstands are $15 for ages 17 and older, kids (11-16) $5, and those 10 & under free. A pit pass is $35 for ages 14 & up, $20 for kids (6-13), and free for 5 & under.

Next race for the Malvern Bank ASCS Midwest Region presented by Hoosier event will be a co-sanctioned event with the Sprint Invaders at the Eldon Raceway in Eldon on Friday, May 8th. Mohrfeld Electric Sprint Invaders' next race is Friday, May 1st, at the CJ Speedway in Columbus Junction.

A far different story this week at the Boone Speedway for Night 2 of the Saturday Night Weekly Racing Series. Last week, Mother Nature tried to show her ugly head with a rain shower an hour before hot laps, but track officials were determined to get the show in and did despite starting 2.5 hours late. This week it seemed most of the heavy rain that hit other parts of the state missed Boone, as when I arrived at the track, they were watering the pits and track, and the races started on time as the first heat went green at 6:01p and the final checkers were at 10:40p.

One hundred and ninety-six cars signed in to Iowa's Action Track for the 2nd night of the IMCA Weekly Racing. Boone was the only track in Iowa to get racing in so far this weekend; Stuart Speedway is running Sunday (April 19th) with an ASCS Midwest Region vs. Sprint Invaders 360 Sprints show plus IMCA Weekly Racing. Back to Boone, the track was very racey all night long, so hats off to "Dirt Doctor" Rod Robbins and the crew. Several feature winners came from the midpack to claim victories.

The first feature of the night was for the Stealth Racing IMCA Mod Lites, sponsored by Carquest Auto Truck and Farm, for 15 laps. Before a lap was fully complete, the caution came out when Landon Elliott spun in turn 2. On the restart, Colby Oberembt grabbed the race lead and fended off challenges from Charlie Brown until the red flag came out before completing lap three. Charlie Brown rolled in turn four, collecting Josh May and Austin Gray. Surprisingly, Brown was able to drive back to the pits; May left on the wrecker, and Gray resumed the race. Oberembt again continued to lead and pulled away from Tracen Glick. The final caution came out on lap five when a pair of Raffurtys from Missouri, Dillon and Justin get together in turn 3. Bryan Zehm got by Oberembt on the restart and pulled away to claim the feature win. Joel Huggins and Tracen Glick also got by Oberembt to claim second and third, respectively. Oberembt is in fourth, and "The Busman" Mike Kennedy is in fifth.

Karl Kustoms IMCA Northern Sport Mods, sponsored by Elmquist Towing, an 18-lap feature event, was next up. Will and Wolf Gage Hilgenberg led the field to the green, and it was Wolf grabbing the top spot. Shortly after lap one was completed, the caution came out when Jake Sachau, Kaden Rice, and Randy Havlik spun in turns three and four. Wolf held off Hilgenberg and Ryan Leeman off the restart and checked out. Dylan Van Wyk, who started eleventh, had worked his way up to grab second on lap six and began to reel in the race leader. Van Wyk grabbed the race lead away on lap nine, and Wolf ran second until the caution came out on lap 12 for Thomas Behle in turn two. Van Wyk got a great restart, fending off Wolf and Reimers. Wolf, however, would slip off the top of the track. Van Wyk went on to take the feature win. Reimers worked his way from twelfth to second, Sachau bounced back and came back to finish third, Hunter Poston was fourth, and Tyler Heckart was fifth.

Up next were the Karl Kustoms IMCA Modifieds, sponsored by D&E Outdoor Services for their 20-lap feature. Brandon Leeman led the first lap, but it was Mesa, Arizona's Chaz Baca who took the lead away on lap two. Baca was able to pull away; Jake McBirnie worked his way in to second and Jeremy Mills into third. The first caution came out on lap six when Blaine Bryant spun in turn four. The next one, a lap later, was when Jamie Anderson spun in turn four. Baca continued to lead the way as Mills fended off McBirnie and applied pressure. Mills took the race lead away on lap nine; McBirnie also got by Baca. Mills got a sizable lead until a pair of cautions on lap 15. Robert Moore and Blaine Bryant spun in turn two, and then Colton Nelson slid off the top of turn three. Mills was determined to take victory. McBirnie, Baca, twelfth-place starter Todd Shute, and Cory Sauerman rounded out the top five.

In the Sunoco IMCA Stock Cars sponsored by Boone Moose Lodge 104, a 20-lap feature event, Garrett Corn outwrestled Jimmy Gustin for the race lead, but that was short-lived as Josh Daniels got by both of them on lap two and led the way. Gustin got by Corn and trailed Daniels for a while before applying late-race pressure as lap traffic was getting heavy. Gustin took the race lead away on lap 17 and went on to take the feature win. Daniels settled for second, Troy Jerovetz was third, twelfth place starter Braden Richards took fourth, and Corn fell back to fifth. 

The final feature of the night was the Sunoco IMCA Hobby Stocks 15-lap feature sponsored by Pickett's Salvage. Joey Young led the first two laps before Will Smith took the lead away. Smith looked strong out front, but the only race caution came out on lap five. The caution was for Chad Rickett Jr., Carson Butt, and Tucker Tepoel in turn three. Smith got a great restart, and despite a late race surge from Braden Gifford, nobody was going to deny Smith the win. Gifford came from tenth to finish second. Alex Yoerger was third, Corey VanDerWilt went from ninth to fourth, and Young fell back to fifth.

Saturday Night Weekly Series continues on April 25th with all 5 IMCA Divisions : Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks and Mod Lites. Pits open at 3:30p, Grandstands open at 4p, Hot Laps at 5p, Racing at 6p.

The Dynamic Drivelines Dirt Duel at the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway has been postponed due to inclement weather conditions that left the pit area unsuitable for use. Speedway officials made every effort to prepare the facility and keep the program on schedule; however an Unlikely Pair - Mother Nature and a Turtle - had other plans. As a result, Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway officials have rescheduled the Dynamic Drivelines Dirt Duel to Wednesday, April 29th.

Dynamic Drivelines Dirt Duel now has to wait, but IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, and IMCA Sport Mods all have $1,000 to win, IMCA Hobby Stocks $500 to win, and IMCA Sport Compacts $250 to win. Outlaw Mini Mods and Crown Vics will be on the card, now on April 29th. Fans and participants are encouraged to monitor official communications for any further updates and to plan accordingly for the revised event date.

The next race at the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway is this Sunday, April 19th, when the Malvern Bank ASCS Midwest Region presented by Hoosier 360 Sprints and Mohrfeld Electric Sprint Invaders begin their season with a $2,000 to win co-sanctioned event. Also competing are IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Hobby Stocks, and IMCA Sport Compacts. Grandstands are $20 for adults, kids (11-17) are $10, and children (10 & under) are FREE. Pits are $35 for ages 14+, children (6-13) $20, and 5 & under FREE.

Promoter Mike Van Genderen has announced several schedule updates across his slate of events this week. Most notably, the “Revving It Up” program at Hwy 39 Speedway in Denison, originally set for Friday, April 17, has been canceled due to forecasted thunderstorms in the area.

Attention now shifts to Saturday’s Wyffels Hybrid Season Opener at Independence Motor Speedway in Independence, which remains on schedule at this time. The event will feature a full racing program, including Pro Late Models ($1,000 to win), IMCA Modifieds and IMCA Stock Cars ($750 to win each), IMCA Sport Mods ($450 to win), IMCA Hobby Stocks ($350 to win), along with IMCA Sport Compacts and Crown Vics ($250 to win). Hot laps are set for 6:00 p.m., with racing to follow. In the event of a weather-related postponement, officials have outlined a contingency plan to move the program to Tuesday, April 21, as the Wyffels Hybrid Super Tuesday, with all classes competing except the Pro Late Models.

Looking ahead, World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DirtVision will headline the Independence Late Model Showdown at Independence Motor Speedway on Tuesday, April 28. Presented by Scott Webb Concrete, the marquee event will offer a $12,000 top prize. The program will also feature support divisions including the Karl Chevrolet Pro Late Model Tour, IMCA Modifieds, and IMCA Stock Cars, rounding out a highly anticipated night of competition.

The spotlight will also turn to Scotland County Speedway in Memphis as the facility roars back to life for a major two-night event. The United States Modified Touring Series presented by RacinDirt will headline the 12th Annual Mid-America Nationals alongside the inaugural Jon Fuller Memorial Race on Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25. Each night will feature a $5,000-to-win main event for the USMTS competitors, drawing top Modified talent from across the region.

A strong supporting lineup is set to complement the weekend program, including the USRA Iron Man Stock Car Series presented by Terminator Chassis, the USRA Iron Man B-Mod Series presented by Harris Auto Racing, and USRA Hobby Stocks competing both nights. The combination of premier touring Modifieds and competitive support divisions is expected to deliver an action-packed weekend for fans and teams alike.

IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Sport Mods, and IMCA Hobby Stocks also race that night. Keep your eyes peeled on the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway Facebook page.

The cancellation of Stuart Speedway came just as I was about ready to roll out and head that way; so far my luck this year and racing are like my Chicago Cubs playing baseball. The next scheduled race for me is on Friday night at Marshalltown Speedway; as for this weekend, I'm not sure yet. I guess we will see what Mother Nature allows.
