Fantasy League
-Unlike the others these stats these stats count rain out weeks and specials
-loopy (Dan Montgomery) and Deuce Dropper (Mike Leffler) held the top 2 spots all year. They co-lead the first week
-loopy held the lead for the last 11 weeks, lead 21 weeks sole, lead after every one of the specials.
-Deuce Dropper took the lead after the june 25th show but lost it after the stock car shootout.
Well my stats clearly are no where near as good as the stats as Ryan Clark does for the Independence Motor Speedway but i try these stats are very entertaining and i am ready for the 2011 season at Marshalltown that should be very interesting.
So until next time have fun doing something!

Gustin wins Night 1 of the Havoc on the High Banks
Well it was back to business at the Marshalltown Speedway on Friday. It started the night cloudy but the skies cleared up and allowed us to go racing we had 19 Mod Lites, 42 Sport Mods, 24 Stock Cars, 40 Modifieds and 29 Hobby Stocks sign in to race on Night #1 of the Havoc on the High Banks.
First up on the night for their feature was the Mod Lites for 15 Laps. Tim Hennigar and Charlie Brown would lead them to the green but Mike Morrill would get a good start. Hennigar would lead lap 1 but Morrill would take over the lead from Hennigar on lap 2. But just before the first 2 cautions on lap 7, Morrill would spin out but keep going but hand the lead over to Hennigar. The first race caution came out on lap 7 when Colby Obermebt and Cliff Barber both rolled their cars on the front stretch, Jason Whitehead came to a stop against Barber and the wall. On the restart it was Hennigar, Joel Huggins and Dusty Masolini as your top 3 but before they could would get going the restart would be called back bringing out another caution. Finally when they did get going Tim Hennigar would take command. Just after the race leader and the field took the white flag, Tim Sutherland spun in turn 4 bringing out the yellow and setting up a green-white-checkered which will now make this feature 16 laps. Hennigar, Huggins and Masolini still your top 3 on the restart and Hennigar would hold off the rest of the field to take the win. Huggins, Morrill, Masolini and Josh May rounded out the top 5.
IMCA Sport Mods were up next for a 20 lap feature but it would take 6 heats and 2 b-features to determine the field down to just 24 cars. When they did it was Jason Purvis taking the early race lead but Scott Davis, who started 6th was up to 2nd and made the pass for the lead on lap 3. Shortly after that the first yellow came out for Kyle Brown, Jayme Duinink, Gatlin Leytham and Cory Rose in turn 2. On the restart, Davis would have Purvis and Danny Dvorak right behind him and Davis would get a good start and pull away but then the next caution came out on lap 9 when Jason Seaverance spun in turn 2. Davis would continue to set tow , the next caution came out on lap 14 when Jared Timmerman spun in turn 3 and then the next caution was on lap 16 for a bumper on the front stretch which came from Kyle Brown's car so Brown was sent to the pits. On this restart, Davis would have Cayden Carter and Danny Dvorak on his back bumper. These three would get in a battle but Davis would hold on until lap 19 when Carter made the pass and went on to take the win. Davis was 2nd, Dvorak was 3rd, Flander was 4th and Josh Sherborn was 5th.
In the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature after 3 heats and a b-feature determine the field down to just 24 cars. Rob Allison would jump to the early race lead and just after 1 lap was in the books the yellow would come out for the Calvin Dhondt spinning in turn 3 & 4. Allison would continue to set pace but then the yellow came out after 2 laps completed this time for Tony Cox spinning in turn 4. Allison would take command again but then the yellow came for Chris Hupp rolling of turn 1 &2. On the restart, Allison would have Terry Shaffar and Scott Pippert and it look as if Allison was going to take the win but Pippert would make some strong moves and got by Shaffar and then Allison on lap 10 to take over the lead. Pippert would go on to the win. Allison, Shaffar, Bill Bonnett and Corey Cruzan round out the top 5.
The IMCA Stocks 20 lap feature was up next. Matt Fox would take the race lead but it would be short lived as Mike Van Genderen would take the lead on lap 3. Van Genderen look to be pulling away while Damon Murty and Dustin Smith were charging to the front. Murty would lose ground and look to have problems but catch back up to Van Genderen and Smith. Smith would make the pass on Van Genderen on lap 11. Then after the completion of lap 11, Keith Miner would spin out in turn 4 and collect Dustin Smith, Smith kept moving but the yellow came out. Smith was awarded the lead back as he kept moving, Van Genderen restarted 2nd. Before another lap was completed, Van Genderen would experience problms, Seth Bowen would spin in turn 4. Smith would go on and take the win over Murty, Robert Stofer, Dave Atcher and Jay Schmidt.
The Final Feature of the Night was the 30 Lap JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour IMCA Modifieds. 4 heats, 2 b-features and 2 provisionals (1 HDT and 1 Marshalltown) helped determine the field for the feature. Scott Simatovich and Ron Pope would start on the front row. Simatovich would take command early, Pope would slide off the top but keep moving and came back on the race track. Simatovich would see Jon Snyder, who started 3rd start challenge for the lead. Snyder would make the pass by Simatovich. Mean while Richie Gustin was charging up to the front and made it a 3 car battle, Snyder and Gustin was now 1 and 2, Simatovich was 3rd. At lap 15, the leaders started hitting lap traffic, Snyder and Gustin was making through their fine, Simatovich had problems but was slowly getting there. Gustin would make the pass on Snyder on lap 17 though as Snyder got slowed down by a couple of lap cars. Gustin would go on and take the win in the green-to-checkered feature, Jon Snyder was 2nd. Simatovich was 3rd, Josh Gilman was 4th and Jimmy Gustin was 5th.
Racing came to an end at 11:42pm. We are back at it again on saturday if mother nature cooperates with all the classes in action plus the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks joining the fun.

First up on the night for their feature was the Mod Lites for 15 Laps. Tim Hennigar and Charlie Brown would lead them to the green but Mike Morrill would get a good start. Hennigar would lead lap 1 but Morrill would take over the lead from Hennigar on lap 2. But just before the first 2 cautions on lap 7, Morrill would spin out but keep going but hand the lead over to Hennigar. The first race caution came out on lap 7 when Colby Obermebt and Cliff Barber both rolled their cars on the front stretch, Jason Whitehead came to a stop against Barber and the wall. On the restart it was Hennigar, Joel Huggins and Dusty Masolini as your top 3 but before they could would get going the restart would be called back bringing out another caution. Finally when they did get going Tim Hennigar would take command. Just after the race leader and the field took the white flag, Tim Sutherland spun in turn 4 bringing out the yellow and setting up a green-white-checkered which will now make this feature 16 laps. Hennigar, Huggins and Masolini still your top 3 on the restart and Hennigar would hold off the rest of the field to take the win. Huggins, Morrill, Masolini and Josh May rounded out the top 5.
IMCA Sport Mods were up next for a 20 lap feature but it would take 6 heats and 2 b-features to determine the field down to just 24 cars. When they did it was Jason Purvis taking the early race lead but Scott Davis, who started 6th was up to 2nd and made the pass for the lead on lap 3. Shortly after that the first yellow came out for Kyle Brown, Jayme Duinink, Gatlin Leytham and Cory Rose in turn 2. On the restart, Davis would have Purvis and Danny Dvorak right behind him and Davis would get a good start and pull away but then the next caution came out on lap 9 when Jason Seaverance spun in turn 2. Davis would continue to set tow , the next caution came out on lap 14 when Jared Timmerman spun in turn 3 and then the next caution was on lap 16 for a bumper on the front stretch which came from Kyle Brown's car so Brown was sent to the pits. On this restart, Davis would have Cayden Carter and Danny Dvorak on his back bumper. These three would get in a battle but Davis would hold on until lap 19 when Carter made the pass and went on to take the win. Davis was 2nd, Dvorak was 3rd, Flander was 4th and Josh Sherborn was 5th.
In the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature after 3 heats and a b-feature determine the field down to just 24 cars. Rob Allison would jump to the early race lead and just after 1 lap was in the books the yellow would come out for the Calvin Dhondt spinning in turn 3 & 4. Allison would continue to set pace but then the yellow came out after 2 laps completed this time for Tony Cox spinning in turn 4. Allison would take command again but then the yellow came for Chris Hupp rolling of turn 1 &2. On the restart, Allison would have Terry Shaffar and Scott Pippert and it look as if Allison was going to take the win but Pippert would make some strong moves and got by Shaffar and then Allison on lap 10 to take over the lead. Pippert would go on to the win. Allison, Shaffar, Bill Bonnett and Corey Cruzan round out the top 5.
The IMCA Stocks 20 lap feature was up next. Matt Fox would take the race lead but it would be short lived as Mike Van Genderen would take the lead on lap 3. Van Genderen look to be pulling away while Damon Murty and Dustin Smith were charging to the front. Murty would lose ground and look to have problems but catch back up to Van Genderen and Smith. Smith would make the pass on Van Genderen on lap 11. Then after the completion of lap 11, Keith Miner would spin out in turn 4 and collect Dustin Smith, Smith kept moving but the yellow came out. Smith was awarded the lead back as he kept moving, Van Genderen restarted 2nd. Before another lap was completed, Van Genderen would experience problms, Seth Bowen would spin in turn 4. Smith would go on and take the win over Murty, Robert Stofer, Dave Atcher and Jay Schmidt.
The Final Feature of the Night was the 30 Lap JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour IMCA Modifieds. 4 heats, 2 b-features and 2 provisionals (1 HDT and 1 Marshalltown) helped determine the field for the feature. Scott Simatovich and Ron Pope would start on the front row. Simatovich would take command early, Pope would slide off the top but keep moving and came back on the race track. Simatovich would see Jon Snyder, who started 3rd start challenge for the lead. Snyder would make the pass by Simatovich. Mean while Richie Gustin was charging up to the front and made it a 3 car battle, Snyder and Gustin was now 1 and 2, Simatovich was 3rd. At lap 15, the leaders started hitting lap traffic, Snyder and Gustin was making through their fine, Simatovich had problems but was slowly getting there. Gustin would make the pass on Snyder on lap 17 though as Snyder got slowed down by a couple of lap cars. Gustin would go on and take the win in the green-to-checkered feature, Jon Snyder was 2nd. Simatovich was 3rd, Josh Gilman was 4th and Jimmy Gustin was 5th.
Racing came to an end at 11:42pm. We are back at it again on saturday if mother nature cooperates with all the classes in action plus the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks joining the fun.

Guss, Wilkinson, Meyer, Christians and Gustin Super National Champs
Well now that the regular season is over for the most part its time for the fall specials to begin and the first of the big fall specials is the 28th IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals at the Boone Speedway in Boone, IA. For 6 straight nights racing action with over 800 cars signed in with the goal to be named Super National Champion.
Monday September 6th
It was all about the IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series and the IMCA Late Models crowning their Super Nationals Champion meanwhile the IMCA Hobby Stocks qualified 10 cars for each the inside and middle rows for their super nationals feature on saturday and the IMCA Sport Mods qualified 10 cars for the inside row for saturday's feature. The Sport Mods would also take part in their Arnold Motor Supply Race of Champions Qualifers.
The IMCA Late Models saw 43 competitors take to the track for the super nationals. In heat race action, Sam Halstead would have his night come to an end as he would roll his car in turn 1, he would climb from the car okay. Just before the late model b features mother nature would give the drivers a surprise as the rain came down and cause them to take 40 minutes to work on the track to get it raceable.
In the 50 lap feature though it would be interesting because before they would get one lap completed they would have a caution as Charlie McKenna, Jeremiah Hurst and Tyler Bruening would spin in turn 4. When they got going Terry Neal would jump out to the race lead from his pole position. The next race caution would come out on lap 3 when Jeff Aikey would stop on the frontstretch. On the restart, Neal would have Craig Roberts, Nick Most, Boone McLaughlin and Bobby Hansen right behind him. Neal and the field would complete another lap only to see the yellow flag come out on lap 4 this time for Craig Jacobs would spin in turn 4. A lap later another caution would come out when Mike Garland would stop on the frontstretch.
Then we would see another 14 laps completed before our next caution on lap 19 for debris in turn 4, the debris came from Neal's machine as Neal was passed by McLaughlin before the yellow came out so McLaughlin was now the new leader. On this restart, McLaughlin would have Ray Guss Jr and Josh Most on his back bumper. On Lap 25 another caution would come out this time for McLaughlin amd Most getting together in turns 3 & 4, this would send both drivers to the pits, McLaughlin would return so since we lost our leader the race would now restart as if we had no leader with Guss and Kevin Sather restarting in the lead. Guss would take control though right away.
The next caution came out on lap 29 when Jon Passick would stop on the backstretch. Guss would continue to set pace but would see 4 more cautions on the night, first one on lap 35 for debris in turn 2, second one on lap 37 for Jason Rauen rolling in turns 1 & 2 and Boone McLaughlin would spin out in turn 1, Rauen was okay, third one on lap 39 for Tyler Bruening and Jon Passick in turn 3 and then the final one on lap 43 when Joel Callahan, Mike Garland and Bobby Hansen would get together in turn 4. Guss would not let them faze him as he would go on to his 2nd straight Super Nationals Championship adding to his accomplishments for the week, he was crowned the 2010 IMCA Late Model National Championship and clinched the 2010 Deery Brothers Summer Series Championship just by signing in to Boone on Monday. Finishing behind Guss was Jeff Aikey, Andy Eckrich, Tyler Bruening and Ryan Giles.
In the Hobby Stock Qualifers, Dustin Larson would take the first qualifer and get to start on the pole position on saturday with Robby Marsh, Kevin Fee, Jason Wilkinson, Eric Stanton, John Yaw Sr., Matt Mahoney, Josh Irvine, Cody Gustoff and Jesse VanLaningham also qualifying on the inside rows.

The Final Big Dance of the night was the IMCA Modifieds for 40 laps after Driver Introductions and a quick farm session to work the cushion in it was time to go racing. Kevin Stoa would take the early lead but his race was short lived as he encounter some problems and gave the lead over to Brandon Blochlinger. Blochlinger would look to be cruising on to the win as this race looking to be going green-to-checkered but then a caution came out on lap 33 when Rich Smith spun in turn 3 & 4. On the restart another caution would come out for Rich Smith in turn 3 so that would end Smith's race. Blochlinger would have Luke Wanninger and Jimmy Gustin on his back bumper. Blochlinger would jump out to the lead again and jump the cushion on lap 36 allowing Jimmy Gustin to take the lead as he had passed Luke Wanninger, Blochlinger break something in the front end and went off the top of turn 3 & 4, Gustin would not give up the lead and Wanninger fell back to 7th. Gustin was crowned as the 2010 IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals Modified Champion. Johnny "The Jet" Saathoff was 2nd, "Toddzilla" Todd Shute was 3rd, Scott Olson was 4th and "The Real Deal" Nick Deal ended up 5th.
The races came to an end at 11:14p. After the races were over and all the winners got their pictures taken together it was time for the auction of the Motors of the winners in the Modifieds, Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks. The Modified motor of Jimmy Gustin was auctioned for $7,400. The Stock Car motor of Jeremy Christians was auctioned for $7,000 and the Hobby Stock motor of Jason Wilkinson was auctioned for $3,300.
