Let's start by saying I have been the public address announcer for Marshalltown High School softball games this season, so when I heard the Bobcats were hosting their annual Softball Classic and I didn't have to announce, I said, "I feel like I have to still go and support them in their games." Friday afternoon, I did that, taking in their first game, and then ran the scoreboard for the second game not featuring the Cats before watching the first inning of their second game, and then I had to head to the Marshalltown Speedway for work. On Saturday, though, they had games at 9:30a, 11:15a, and 1p, so I made the decision at about 9a that I would go take in all 3 games and then depart for the Boone Speedway after them. Well, by the time the races got over and back home, my day was 15 hours in total, but I think they appreciated that their PA announcer was supporting them even if he didn't have to go. I know they probably read this, so let's get on to the reason for this blog.

Saturday night at Iowa's Action Track, the Boone Speedway, was the Bumble Bee Nationals for IMCA Sport Compacts sponsored by Extreme Powder Coating; it was also the Farley's Whole Sale Smackdown for Modifieds and Stock Cars, along with being another Saturday Night Series weekly race night. Two hundred and ten cars signed in to tame the 1/3-mile dirt oval. The racing action was exciting from the drop of the first green flag at 6p until the final checkered flag at 11:05p.

The first feature of the night was the first of two IMCA Stock Car 20-lap feature events presented by Boone Moose Lodge 104. Devin Smith jumped out to the quick lead as Kyle Everts, Tyler Pickett and Mike Jansen were jockeying for position. First race caution came out on lap 11 when Mike Jansen and Matthew Meinecke got together in turn 1. Devin Smith fended off Tyler Pickett and Josh Daniels on the restart, but the caution came out again on lap 15 when Kevin Gyles rolled off the top of turn three. Devin Smith went on to capture win number four. David Smith worked his way from tenth to finish second. Josh Daniels was third, Michael Jaennette took fourth, and twenty-first place starter Hunter Smith was fifth.

Next up is the first of two Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stock 15-lap features. Eric Stanton took full advantage of starting outside the front row by grabbing the top spot. Stanton pulled away until Braden Gifford moved into the runner-up spot and began to apply pressure. The only race caution came out on lap 12 when Eric Knutson, Kendal Madsen II, Daniel Pittman, Macon Robinson, and Nathan DeRagon were in turn three. Stanton held off Gifford on the restart to go on and capture win number one. Gifford finished second, Seth Butler took third, Wyatt Johnson was fourth, and Aaron Rudolph was fifth.

Normally the first feature of the night was the third feature, the IMCA STARS Mod Lites, presented by Stealth Racing. Garrison Anderson jumped out to an early lead as Jon Braathun, Bryan Zeh, Charlie Brown and Tracen Glick battled it out. The caution was waived on the lap when Colin Anderson spun in turn three and then on the restart when Glick and Garrett Barber got together in turn four. Garrison Anderson continued to lead the way until the next pair of cautions on lap nine. The first one on lap nine was for Dillion Bush spinning in turn two, and then Braathun spun on the restart, collecting Brandon Cox, Colby Oberembt, Scott Bailey and Travis Stensland. Eleventh-place starter Josh May got a great restart and took the lead away, but the caution came out one final time on lap ten when Bush and Mike Kennedy spun in turn one. May held on the final five laps to capture win number three at Boone. Bryan Zehm, Landon Elliott, Austin Grey and Grant Anderson rounded out the top five.

Jason Carney grabbed the early lead in the IMCA Northern Sport Mods 18-lap feature event presented by Elmquist Towing. The caution came out for the first time on lap one when Curtis Veber went off the top of turn three. Carney led lap two before Bradyn Gustin took the top spot away on lap three. Gustin would lead until the caution came out on lap seven for Dusty Masolini and Veber in turn four. Matt Avila took the race lead away on lap nine and was only slowed down by a caution on lap 11 when Chris Webb spun; Camdan Vincent and Dennis Pittman had nowhere to go. Avila led the final seven laps to go on and take win number two. Will Wolf, Mike Smith, Gustin, and Carney were second through fifth. 

It was time for some buzzing, as it was now time for the 20-lap Bumble Bee Nationals feature for the IMCA Sport Compacts presented by Extreme Powder Coating. Mitchell Bunch led the first two laps before Marshalltown winner Mithell Bielenberg took the lead away. Bielenberg and Bunch ran one and two until Brad Chandler worked his way up from tenth. Chandler got by Bunch, but Bielenberg looked strong until lap traffic started getting heavy late. On lap 16, Chandler used two lap cars to pick off Bielenberg before pulling away to take the feature win in the caution-free event. Bielenberg finished second, Bunch fell back to third, Michael Gardner was fourth, and thirteenth-place starter Cristian Grady took fifth.

Paul Nagle jumped out to the race lead early in the IMCA Modifieds 20-lap feature presented by D&E Outdoor Services. The caution came out on lap two when Brian Eppert stopped in turn one. Nagle held off Jay Noteboom and Colton Nelson on the restart. The second caution came out on lap four when Robert Moore spun in turn one. Nagle looked to be the man to beat, but Todd Shute worked his way into second and reeled him in. The caution came out again on lap 15 when Connor Verbridge spun in turn four. The final caution was on lap 17 when Nagle spun in turn one, creating a parking lot. Shute inherited the lead and led the final three laps to get win number three in Boone. Trevor Fitz, Izac Mallicoat, Cory Sauerman, and Jake McBirnie rounded out the top five.

Time for the second IMCA Stock Cars 20-lap feature event, Johnathon Logue looked to keep his hot streak for the week going after winning at Algona Thursday and Motown Friday. Logue jumped out of the race lead at the drop of Logan Kelly's green flag, but the caution came out on lap three when Josh Vanwinkle spun in turn two. On the restart, Jimmy Gustin would jump the restart and grab the lead, or so he thought, but Logue was considered the leader. The next caution came out on lap five when Kane Matlock spun in turn four and Lincoln Vansickel drove off the backside of turn three. Logue held off Bob Daniels, Buck Schafroth, and Gustin on the restart this time and appeared to be heading for the win. Another caution came out on lap 12 when Jerry Williams rolled off the top of turns three and four. The final caution was on lap 14 when Logue pushed the limits too much and spun in turn three, forcing the yellow to come out as Bob Daniels spun in turn three. That gave the lead over to Schaforth. Schafroth and Gustin battled it out the final six laps, and they would get together on the final lap, allowing Jamsion MacDonald to sneak by to capture the win. Gustin took second, Schafroth was third, eleventh-place starter Doug Smith was in fourth, and Blake Lehman was fifth. 

The final feature of the night was the second Pickett Auto Salvage IMCA Hobby Stocks 15-lap feature event. Brayson Siegle led the first six laps before Shane Butler took the top spot. Butler led until three to go when "The Burglar", Andrew Burg, took it away. Burg led the remaining laps to capture the win. Butler finished second, Siegle was third, Kael Koch was in fourth, and Michael Johnson Jr was in fifth.

Next week, Saturday, July 4th, Boone Speedway will have Saturday Night Racing Series Night #13 plus fireworks. IMCA Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, and Mod Lites all take to the track. Pits open at 3:30p, grandstands at 4:30p, hot laps at 5p, and racing at 6p. Pit passes are $30; grandstands are $15 for adults, $5 for youth (13-17), and free for kids 12 & under.

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.
