It may have been April Fools Day but we went racing at Marshalltown on Friday Night. Over 220 Cars signed in to do battke in the high banked quarter mile race track, Hot Laps started at 6:30p and because of so many cars the racing action didn't get started until 7:36p on Friday and features didn't get started until shortly before midnight.
The first class to run their feature was the Heartland Challenge Series Mod Lites for 15 Laps. Before 1 Lap could get in the books their would be a wreck in turn 1 and 2 that brought out the red flag as Dusty Masolini would roll but be okay and also getting involved was the Ben Rogers and Jonathan Huston. When the race got going Mike Morrill would take the lead and look to be cruising away but then another caution came out on lap 4 bunching up the field. This caution on lap 4 for Jonathan Huston spinning in turn 2. This put Andy Hennigar on his back bumper on the restart, Morrill and Hennigar would battle for the lead. Hennigar would make the pass on lap 6 and take the lead. 2 laps later the final race caution came out this time for Chase Ellingson spinning in turns 1 and 2. This would put Morrill and Josh May right behind Hennigar. Josh May would take the lead on lap 9 and go on and take the win, Randy Bryan would come up and take 2nd. Morrill was 3rd, Jimmy May was 4th and Hennigar would wind up 5th.
In the IMCA Sport Mods 20 lap feature, It would be "Downtown" Kyle Brown taking the early lead and would be pulling away but the 75 machine of Josh Sherbon was coming and when the only race caution came out on lap 10 for Racer Hulin, Austin Lucas and Nick Roberts all getting together on the frontstretch it would put Sherborn right there. Brown and Sherbon would begin to do battle and Sherbon would make the pass on lap 15 and go on and take the win. Beau Kaplan would get by Brown for 2nd. Jake Strayer was 4th and Austin Kaplan after coming out of a B-feature would finish 5th.
IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature would see a caution come out before 1 lap was completed when Scott Pippert spun in turn 2. When the Race would get going it was John Watson taking the lead but his lead would be short lived as Kevin Fee would take the win. Only one more race caution would slow the event down and that was for 43 Nic Shearer in turn 3 & 4. Behind Fee was Eric Knutson, Nyle Godwin, Richard Yaw III and Rob Allison.
The IMCA Stock Cars 20 lap feature was next up. Sean Johnson would take the lead on lap 1 but would then be passed by Dave Stricker on lap 2. After Stricker was scored the leader the caution would come out for Steve Meyer and Jeff Wollam in turn 1. Stricker would still hold on to the top spot until lap 6 when Johnson took the lead again. There was 2 cautions though first on lap 4 for Michael Jeannette, Todd Reitzler, Norman Chesmore, Travis Shipman and 38 Dain Sires in turn 2 and then on lap 6 for Michael Jeannette on Run off Road. On lap 8 though it was Jay Schmidt taking the lead, on lap 9 then it was Stricker again. Damon Murty made the pass on lap 10. Johnson took the lead on lap 11, Murty lead laps 12 and 13.Schmidt took the lead back on lap 14 and went on to take the victory. Murty was 2nd, Johnson was 3rd, Stricker was 4th and Trent Murphy was 5th.
Final feature on the night was the IMCA Modifieds 30 lap feature and this feature would go green-to-checkered with a driver very familiar with the speedway lead the entire way. Richie Gustin would lead all 30 laps and the only thing slowing him down was the lap traffic. Finishing behind Gustin was Brian Mullen, Adam Larson, Josh Most and Luke Wanninger.
Racing came to an end at 1:15a. Tripleheader Frostbuster Weeknend continues at Boone Speedway on Saturday and Benton County Speedway in Vinton on Sunday.
Track points begin on Friday Night April 8th with the Ryan Ashton Racing Night, Pit Gates Open at 5:15p, Hot Laps at 6:45p and Racing at 7:30p.
