Originally it was supposed to be a Capital Signs Twin Topless 2-Fer weekend at Marshalltown and Boone, but the IMCA STARS Mod Lites wanted to join the fun, so it was going to be a Topless Triple Threat Doubleheader. Mother Nature had other plans, dumping almost 2 inches of rain Thursday night and early Friday morning, leaving the grounds extremely wet. Motown plans to reschedule. Meanwhile, on Saturday night, the Boone Speedway held its Capital Signs Topless Triple Threat. 

Saturday night at Boone Speedway was also part of the Saturday Night Series. One hundred and sixty-six cars signed in to tame the 1/3-mile dirt oval, including 24 topless IMCA Modifieds, 45 topless IMCA Sport Mods and 23 topless IMCA Mod Lites. Over the last several weeks, Boone had been running multiple features in classes with a car count of about 38 cars; however, on this night, the sponsor Capital Signs said, 'We are going to run the normal format of heats, B-features if needed and one A-feature in all five classes.'

The racing action did not disappoint, as there were late-race lead changes. Rod Robbins and the team had a fantastic racing surface. Logan Kelly, great job on the sticks, and all in the final checkered flag waved just before the clock ticked to 10 pm.

The first of three topless feature events was the first feature of the night, the IMCA STARS Mod Lites presented by Carquest Auto, Truck and Farm 20-lap event. Garrett Barber jumped to the early lead. The only race caution came out on lap four when Joel Huggins broke his right front and came to a stop on the backstretch. Barber had to contend with Josh May, Grant Anderson and eleventh-place starter Austin Gray. Barber held them off until lap nine, when Grey got by for the race lead. Grey pulled away and never was really challenged even though lap traffic allowed May, Barber and Cory Sonner to reel in Gray. Grey went on to capture win number two of the season in Boone, with Josh May in second, Sonner in third, Grant Anderson in fourth and Colin Anderson in fifth. Barber fell back to sixth.

Next up in the Capital Signs Topless Triple Threat was the topless dirty 30-lapper for the IMCA Northern Sport Mods presented by Elmquist Towing. Cory Pesotnik outwrestled Camdan Vincent for the race lead at the drop of the green, and he was followed by Mike Smith, Brayton Carter, and Willy Kirk. Pestotnik continued to lead as Kirk worked his way to second, and tenth-place starter Cam Reimers worked his way to third. The first caution came out on lap nine when Dustin Lynch went off the top of turn four. Pestotnik hung on to the race lead until lap 15, when Reimers took it away just before the caution came out again. Reimers held off Pestotnik and Kirk on the restart, but one more caution came out on lap 23 when Tyler Nerud and Matt Avila slid off the top of turns one and two. Reimers went on to claim his third win of the season in Boone ahead of Kirk, Joe Reetz, Randy Havlik, and eleventh-place starter Hunter Poston.

The Capital Signs Triple Topless Dirty 30 for the IMCA Modifieds, presented by D&E Outdoor Services, was next. Izac Mallicoat appeared to flex his muscles by grabbing the race lead. The first caution came out when Jeremy Mills got sideways but kept going, resulting in Colton Nelson, Mike Van Genderen, David Solberg, and Rod Clement all getting into each other. Mallicoat fended off Trevor Fitz on the restart and pulled away. The caution came out on lap nine when Bret Ramsey spun in turn two and the next one on lap 12 when Jamie Anderson came to a stop at the top of turn four. Mallicoat looked to be heading on to the win despite Fitz and Mills trying to reel him in, but the caution came out one more time on lap 26 when Slade Hartwick spun in turn four. Mallicoat held the race lead until the white flag lap when the Californian, calling Iowa home, Fitz, was able to take the lead away. Fitz claimed win number three ahead of Mallicoat, Mills, Kyle Brown, and twentieth-place starter Brint Hartwick. 

Ryan Roath took the race lead right away in the IMCA Stock Cars presented by Boone Moose Lodge 104. Mathew West ran second until the caution came out on lap 14 for debris in turn four and then a lap later when Scott Olson spun in turn two, collecting Kevin Opheim, Josh Daniels, and Matthew Meinecke. Rod Richards was spun out entering turn three as well. Hunter Smith, from Fort Morgan, Colorado, took over the race lead on the restart and went on to capture his first in Boone. David Smith, no relation to the winner, came from Twenith to finish second. Roath took third, Buck Scharforth was fourth, and twenty-third place starter Doug Smith came home fifth.

The final feature of the night was the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15-lap feature presented by Pickett Salvage. Braelynn Long led the first lap before Dylan Hill took the top spot away, and he was followed by Bryce Sommerfled. Hill held on to that top spot through the only caution on lap six. Thirteenth-place starter Joe Wollenhaupt took the top spot away on lap ten, and he would go on to capture the win. Hill finished second, Sommerfeld was third, twelfth place starter Corey VanDerWilt was fourth, and eleventh place starter Eric Knutson was fifth.

Next Saturday night, June 13th, is the Odega Dash for IMCA Hobby Stocks. IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Sport Mods, and IMCA Mod Lites also compete. Pits Open at 3:30p, Grandstands Open at 4:30p, Hot Laps at 5p, and Racing at 6p.

The THRIVE Hawkeye Challenge will take place on Saturday, June 20th, and the Sprint King Sprints will also be held on that day. Tuesday, June 23rd, the 35th Annual Harris Clash is presented by Wehrs Machine and Racing Products. Saturday, June 27th, is Bumble Bee Nationals for IMCA Sport Compacts along with the Farley Smackdown for Mods and Stock Cars. All events, except for the Harris Clash, will begin with hot laps at 5 PM and racing at 6 PM; The Harris Clash will have hot laps starting at 6 PM and racing at 7 PM.

My goal was to make it at least one night of the 3rd Annual IMCA Summer Nationals. Unable to attend Monday night because of PA Announcing duties at Marshalltown High School Varsity Softball Doubleheader against Ames left me Tuesday and Wednesday. Well, Tuesday came out; I was exhausted from Monday's softball games, so I sat at home and watched the coverage on Advantage Racing TV and IMCA TV. Wednesday, I had the energy and motivation to attend the final night of the IMCA Summer Nationals, and I was glad I did, even though I didn't get home until after 12:30am.

Great job by the promotion team of Mike Van Genderen, Dana Benning, and Trent Chinn on putting the event together. Jeff Kropf, Jeff Broeg, and Tony Paris did a fantastic job with announcing races through out the week; Advantage Racing TV and IMCA TV broadcasts were fantastic. Josh Reynolds and Colton Graham did a nice job in the scoring tower, and John Huff on waving those colorful sticks.

One hundred and sixty-eight cars checked in to tame the 3/8-mile dirt oval on the Buchanan County Fairgrounds on the final night of the 3rd Annual IMCA Summer Nationals. The first 2 instalments of the IMCA Summer Nationals were at the Clay County Fair Speedway in Spencer before moving to Indee this year. Meaning the total car count of the three race nights was 532, and the average car count per night was 177 cars. The racing action was exciting in all feature events, including a photo finish. Final checkered flag waived at 11:10 pm. 

The first feature on finale night of the IMCA Summer Nationals was the IMCA Northern Sport Mods presented by Pat's Auto Salvage for 20 laps. Kyle Olson, Cam Reimers and Brayton Carter led the field to the green flag. Carter snatching up the race lead using the cushion. Carter led the way as the battle heated up because Olson and Reimers were behind him, as did Caleb Woodard and Ben Chapman. Carter had a 2-second lead before the first caution on lap eight when Brandon Bradford spun off the top of turn three. Carter held off Woodard and Olson on the restart. The caution came out again on lap 11 when Hunter Poston slid off the top of turns three and four. Carter got another great restart; Woodard jumped the cushion in turn two, but shortly after, another caution on lap 12 came out when Zach Davis, Mary Hahn and Jacob Berry got into an infield tyre in turn four. Carter held off Reimres and Devyn Peterson on the restart and got a little separation. The final caution came out on lap 17 when Justin Klynsma spun in turn four after slight racing contact with Tony Olson. Carter went to claim the $3,000 to win the feature event, adding to his Monday night's invitational win that was also worth $3,000. Woodard came from tenth to finish second; Peterson from fourteenth to third. Tuesday's winner Cam Reimers fell back to fourth, and Tony Olson came home in fifth.

Jace Whitt, Kollin Hibdon, and Ethan Braaksma led the field to the green flag in the 22-lap IMCA Modifieds presented by Waterloo Auto Parts. Hibdon jumped out to the race lead; Braaksma ran second as Cody Laney and Brandon Beckendorf battled for third. On lap four, the caution came out when Whitt slid off the top of turn two and got caught up in the guardrail. Hibdon held off Braaksma and Beckendorf initially on the restart but slid off the top of turn two, allowing Braaksma to take the lead away. Beckendorf followed Braaksma and began to apply some pressure. Laney joined the battle out front, but Braaksma held them off until lap sixteen. Beckendorf took the lead away and never looked back as he went on to take the feature win worth $5,000 to win. Braaksma finished second, Hibdon in third, Laney in fourth, and Tuesday's winner Joel Rust was fifth. Hard Charger of the feature was Tim Ward moving from fifteenth to sixth. Monday's winner was Cayden Carter.
The initial start of the IMCA Stock Cars Summer Nationals 20-lap feature was called back, and that was followed up by a caution before lap one was scored when Tommy Fain from Abilene, Texas, slid off the top of turn two. When the race finally got some momentum and got rolling, it was Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, driver Brandon Schmitt grabbing the top spot, as they were going three and four wide throughout the field. Schmitt used the bottom, and Little Suamico, Wisconsin racer Tyler Wilson used the top shelf, and they battled it out for the race lead. Then the caution came out again on lap seven when Parker Slagle and Braden Richards went together in turn one. Schmitt continued to lead the way, but Kelly Shryock broke up the Cheesehead party out front and joined in the battle for the lead. The final caution came out on lap 12 when Cole Czarneski slid off the backstretch when he got bumped by Kodey Miles. Schmitt, Wilson, and Shryock battled it out on the restart. Wilson edged ahead on lap 16, but Schmitt came back to take the lead on lap 18. Wilson did not go away and won in a photo finish at the line over Schmitt and Shryock to take home the $5,000 prize. Nick Buckarma and eighteenth-place starter Cayden Carter finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Carter won Monday night's invitational, and Tony Olson won Tuesday night's feature. 

Braden Gifford, Leah Wroten, and Wayne Gifford led the field to the green flag in the 16-lap IMCA Summer Nationals feature event for the IMCA Hobby Stocks presented by Performance Bodies. In the younger Gifford, Braden grabbed the race lead, but he had his hands full as Dad, Wayne, battled it out. Wayne Gifford got by his son Braden on lap five and left his son to battle with Leah Wroten and Briar Kriegel. Unfortunately, just after the race passed the halfway point, a hand full of cautions came out. The first caution was for Ben Shannon and McKenna Koch, who spun in turns three and four; the following restart saw Karter Miles slide off the top of turn one; the next restart saw Tyler Gray spin on the backstretch with Brandon Nielsen, Jaice Tuttle, and Koch all getting together on the backstretch. Wayne Gifford and the field finally got another lap in the books, but the caution came out again when Quinton Miller spun in turn four, and then on the restart, Briar Krigel spun in turn four, collecting David Bennett, Zach McNeese, Miller and Jacob Floyd. Wayne Gifford hung on to take the feature win worth $2,000. Braden Gifford finished second, Leah Wroten was third, Dalton Weepie was fourth, and Joren Fisher was fifth. Wroten won on Monday night, and Karter Miles won on Tuesday.

The final feature of the IMCA Summer Nationals was the 15-lap IMCA Sport Compacts presented by Cue Rentals powered by Tarpy. The initial start was waived twice, penalizing Adam Gates one row for jumping the start. Lukas Rick inherited the pole position and took full advantage, grabbing the race lead. They went four, five, and briefly six wide behind him. Brad Chandler was among those in that battle, working his way from ninth. Chandler took over the top spot on lap 4, and he pulled away. The caution came out on lap six for Mike Peyton, who spun in turn two. Lap seven, another caution came out. Jay Orr slid off the top of turn three as Stephen Randall lost a right rear wheel in turn four, collecting Terry Bickford, Dan Schmidt, and Michael Stoddard. Two more cautions came out; lap eight for Orr made contact with Robert Rundle, pushing him off the front stretch. The final caution came out on lap nine when Adam Gates and Mitch Bielenberg got together off turn two. Chandler led the remaining 6 laps and went on to pocket the $1,000 prize, his second win of the week, as he also won the $1,000 to win the invitational race on Monday. Tuesday's winner Mitch Bielenberg came from eleventh to finish second. Rick was third, Brooke Osler was fourth, and fifteenth-place starter Michael Gardner came home in fifth.

Sunday night brought the return of Speedway Motors IMCA Weekly Racing back to Sports Park Raceway for the first time since 2019; it also brought the return to Sunday night racing after a couple of years trying different nights. The hope for track owner and promoter Jeff Frevert, operations manager Sarah Stewart and track prep manager Brandon Toftee by doing that is to have continued growth and great racing every night.

A total of ninety-six cars signed in to check out the newly configured Sports Park Raceway on Sunday, and many, I would say, were rather impressed with the racing action. The car count may have been low in a few classes, but the racing was still great all through the night. Great job by Brandon and Jeff for creating a great racing surface, Sarah for keeping things rolling, and Rodney Tomlinson on the horn with the PA announcing. All the night got started with hot laps at 5 p.m., and the races were over shortly after 8:30 p.m., not bad. So if you are on the fence about making the trip to Sports Park Raceway, don't be, and make at least one trip to support them.

The first feature of the night was the 10-lap Matt's Tyre Service IMCA Sport Compacts feature. Levi Volkert led the first lap, but the hot shoe from Guthrie Centre, Rece Hayes, took the top spot away on lap two. The only caution came out on lap three when Alyssa Thies came to a stop at the top of turn four. Hayes fended off Volkert and tenth-place starter Tyler Fiebelkorn on the restart. Volkert faded back, but Fiebelkorn tried to apply constant pressure on Hayes. There were parts of the track where Fiebelkorn was faster, but there were parts where Hayes was faster. Hayes hung on to capture the victory. Fiebelkorn settled for a runner-up finish, Charles Prime took third, and Kaytee DeVries was in fourth. and Brooke Osler in fifth. 

Pickett Salvage Vintage Cars was up next for their 10-lap feature event. There were five Vintage Street Stocks and two Vintage Super Stocks; however, one of the Super Stocks broke in hot laps, so feature time they ran together. Dino Rodish led all ten laps in the feature event and won the Super Stocks; meanwhile, Todd Jansonius ran second and won the Street Stocks. Following Jansonius was Mark Chance, Rex Jansonius, Brent McClendon and Logan Frazier.

Culver's of Fort Dodge and Carroll 4.6L Crown Vics 12 lap feature saw Nick Sawdy grab the race lead as the Hogans : Nick and Nate battled out behind him. Sawdy looked smooth out front, and the only caution came out on lap five when Brandon Erpelding slowed at the top of turn four with a flat tire. Sawdy went on to take the win with Nick Hogan in second, Nate Hogan in third, Cyle Marsh in fourth and Cody Fogelman in fifth.

It was time to do the Wild Thing, as the Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stocks 15-lap feature was next out on the speedway. Roger Haupt jumped out to the race lead and held on to the top spot through five cautions. The first caution on lap one for Brad Gilliland off the top of turn three; the next one on lap two for debris in turn four. Lap seven had a caution for Gilliland spinning in turn four; lap nine for Adam Tiernan going off the top of turn four. The following restart on lap nine saw the red flag when Jeremiah Goughnour barrel-rolled off the top of turn three; he climbed from the car okay. Will Smith worked his way from seventh and powered on the final restart to capture the victory. Dan Hanselman took second; Drew Barglof was third. twenty-second place starter Brett Maasdam came home fourth and fourteenth place starter Jacob Monson was fifth. 

Mike Smith jumped out to a sizable lead in the White Transfer & Storage IMCA Northern Sport Mods 15-lap feature event. Smith had a full straightaway lead prior to the caution coming out on lap eleven. The first caution was for Drew Fett sliding off the top of turns three and four, and the initial restart was called back. Smith went on to take the feature win ahead of Alec Fett, ninth-place starter Rocky Caudle, Jeremiah Reed, and Brayden Shepherd. 

Troy Jerovetz and Ryan Roath led the field to green in the Marsh Concrete IMCA Stock Cars 15-lap feature event. Jerovetz lived up to the nickname of "The General" as he took the race lead, but shortly after lap one was scored, the caution came out when Tyler Nelsen and Josh Monthei spun in turn four. Jerovetz continued to lead the way until the final caution on lap five for John Ades, Daniel Ayers, and Nelsen spinning in turn three. Scott Olson powered on the restart and never looked back, going on to take the feature win. Jerovetz, Roath, ninth-place starter Johnathon Logue, and tenth-place starter Tyler Pickett rounded out the top five. 

Final full field feature was the United Plant Services IMCA Modifieds 15 lap feature event. Chaz Baca outwrestled Jeff James on the restart and look as strong as he did Friday night in Marshalltown and Saturday in Boone. Baca would go on and win for third night in a row and won by a margin of 1.823 seconds. Jeremy Mills ran second the entire way, Trevor Fitz got into third on lap three and finish there. Matthew Looft and Brad Bergren finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Only one IMCA Late Model signed in to compete, and that was Dan Demey from Denison. During the heat and feature, Dino Rodish would bring his Super Stock Vintage out to give him somebody to play with. The IMCA Late Model guys always complain about having somewhere to race and only one showing up; now I know there was at least another one planning to come, and that was Jenna Johnson from Mitchellville, but they had truck trouble. Unfortunately, Sports Park Raceway has made the difficult decision to cancel the Late Models because of the lack of interest.

Next week, Sunday, June 7th, at Sports Park Raceway presented by Fort Dodge Ford Lincoln Toyota, it will be the United Plant Services IMCA Modifieds Fast Shaft All-Star Invitational featuring the Western Iowa Area Modified Series $1,500 to win. Also racing IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Hobby Stocks, IMCA Sport Compacts, 4.6L Crown Vics, and vintage cars. Grandstands are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors/military/kids (7-12), and free for kids 6 and under. Pit passes are $35 for ages 14 & over and $25 for ages 13 & under. Pits open at 3p, grandstands at 4p, drivers meeting at 4:45p, hot laps at 5p, and racing to follow.

Following that, on Sunday, June 14th, Matt's Tire Service IMCA Sport Compacts Special before taking a week off the oval and moving over to the Moto Cross Course for the Iowa Moto Series Fort Dodge MX on June 19th and 20th. Marsh Concrete IMCA Stock Cars have a B&B Chassis All-Star Invitational Qualifier on June 28th and a Crown Vic Special on July 5th. Sport Mods and Hobby Stocks will have a special night in July, and Kids Night in August.
