This week would be the Annual Central Iowa Fair going on an it was Stensland Farms Night at the Races. This night would also be night number 13 for the 2010 season to be completed. We would see some great competition on the race track.
The heat races and b-features would be run without any major incidents, however the features were a different story.
In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites 15 lap feature, Before they would get one lap in the books the first caution came out when Travis Stensland and Jason Hall spun around. When they got going Charlie Brown took the lead early but another caution would come out after 1 lap down when the 57 of Tim Hennigar, 88 of James May and 5X of Matthew Goodin spun in turn 2 and went off the back stretch, mean while a red flag came out because we had 3 cars roll in turn 4 and they were Hall, Colby Oberemebt and Eric Hendrickson. Once everything was cleaned up racing resumed and Brown continued to lead. After 2 laps were completed another caution came out when Cory Sonner spun in turn 2.
Another race caution came out on lap 8 for debris on the backstretch. However on the restart Brown would have to hold off Josh May, he was able to do that until lap 12 when May took the lead and never looked back despite a challenge by Mike Morrill. The last race caution came out on lap 13 for Kent Efkamp spinning in turn 3. May took the win, Morrill was 2nd, Tim Hennigar finished 3rd, Charile Brown and Mike Kennedy was 4th and 5th.
In the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods 15 lap feature, The Young Gun from Des Moines Nick Roberts would take the race lead early and set pace but then the first caution came out on lap 5 when Ryan Engelkes came to a stop on the run off road. On the restart Roberts would have to deal with Eric Elliott. Elliott would take the lead on lap 5 but Roberts would say not so fast and make the move to take back the top spot. The final race caution came out on lap 10 for Cody Moore going off turn 2. Roberts wouldn't let it faze him as he would go on and take the win, Kyle Brown would take 2nd. Scott Davis, Cayden Carter and Geoff Olson rounded out the top 5.
"Class To Tough To Tame" Aaron's IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature, Trevor Titus would take the lead in his number 36 Ford Thunderbird to the lead but the only race caution came out on lap 4 when Damon Murty would spin on the back stretch. When the race resumed Titus would lose the lead to the 3W of Jeff Wollam. Wollam and Titus would then see Dustin Smith make it a 3 car battle for the top spot, Wollam would lead the laps until lap 10 when Dustin Smith made the pass for the lead and the win. Wollam was 2nd, Steve Meyer was 3rd, Trent Murphy was 4th and Tracy Gienger was 5th.
In the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature, Rod Clement would lead the first 3 laps but he would be passed by IMCA Modified Rookie Luke Wanninger on lap 4. Wanninger would cruise to the win in the green-to-checkered feature. Wanninger would have Jimmy Gustin, Jay Schmidt, Rod Clement and Tim Murty finishing behind him to round out the top 5.
The final feature of the night was the Junction Bar & Grille IMCA Hobby Stocks 12 lap feature. Before 1 lap was completed "The Wild Woman" Jennifer Hulin would roll her hobby stock off of the back stretch, she would be okay and want to continue, she would end up coming back, her crew got 3 tires changed in 5 laps. Mean while on the race track Clint Nelson would take the early race lead but Devin Smith would just jump in to cruise control and take over the top spot on lap 5. 2 cautions would be the only thing slowing him down, first on lap 9 for Matt Hedespeth stopping in turn 2 and then on lap 10 for Clint Nelson in turn 2. Smith would still maintain and take the win. Michael Murphy, Eric Knutson, Calvin Dhondt and Eric Larson would complete the top 5.
Racing action came to an end just a little after 10:15.
Next Friday Night will be Hy-Vee Night/Hogeland Auto Plaza Kids Night plus Spectator Eliminators Part 2. Racing action continues with Pits opening at 5:15, Grandstands at 5:30, Hot Laps at 6:45, Racing at 7:30!
