Well it seems like we start the same way as we do any other friday and that is questioning the weather and weather or not we would be racing. We went racing at the high banked quarter mile race track of the marshalltown speedway like usual with a 134 cars signed in to do battle.
First feature of the night was the O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites 15 lap feature. Mike Morrill would redraw the pole for the feature after winning his heat race and he took full advantage of it as he would jump to the early race lead. After the field completed 1 lap the car of John Gardner would spin in turn 2 but Morrill would not let it faze him as he would get a good restart. The only thing that would slow Morrill was the lap traffic as Morrill would go on to the victory. Andy Hennigar would try to make a challenge but it went unsuccessful and would finish 2nd, Colby Oberemebt was 3rd, Randy Bryan was 4th and Joel Huggins was 5th.
After the Mod Lites feature we ran b-features in the other classes but when that was all complete the next feature on the track was the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods for 15 laps. Brad Iverson would take advantage of his pole position as he would take the lead. Iverson would start to pull away but would see the first race caution on lap 6 for debris on the frontstretch. Iverson would still resume command and be out front but another race caution came out on lap 12 for debris so this would bunch up the field and would put the Young Guns of Cayden Carter and Tyler Droste right behind Iverson. Iverson would then have to battle with Carter for the top spot and would be side-by-side a few times. Carter would make the pass on the last lap and take the win with Iverson in 2nd. Tyler Droste, Jared Timmerman and Andy Tiernan rounded out the top 5.
In the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature it was Mike Wendelstadt from Octonto Falls, Wisconsin taking early command but he would have Jon Snyder right there every lap. The first race caution came out on lap 4 for Josh Most and Andrew Kinser getting together in turn 2. Wendelstadt and Snyder would continue to do battle only to see the caution come out on lap 6 for Jim Harris in turn 3 & 4. Wendelstadt and Snyder would then get back to battling for the lead but would see the caution come out on lap 12 for debris on the track. Wendelstadt would continue to resume command but this time Snyder was able to race side-by-side for the lead and would take the lead on lap 14. Just after Snyder took the lead a caution came out for Josh Most on the front stretch. Snyder would go on to the victory and as he was doing that Richie Gustin came to a stop in turn 1. Finishing behind Snyder was Wendelstadt, Adam Larson, Ronn Lauritzen and David Brown.
The Mike's Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature would see Sean Johnson take control early and begin to check out. The first race caution on lap 3 for Michael Jeannette, Paul Shepherd, Dale Labette, Jeff Wollam and Rob Henry in turn 1 & 2. Johnson would get a good restart so would Damon Murty and Murty would be coming. Murty would pass Johnson on lap 7. On lap 8 the caution would come out for Kevin Rose slow down the fronstretch and then again on the restart being called back. When the race got restarted it was Murty controlling the race and the only thing that slowed Murty was the final race caution on lap 15 for Tommy Thompson in turn 2. But Murty would still manage to take the win, Johnson was 2nd, Nathan Wood was 3rd, Trent Murphy was 4th and Todd Reitzler was 5th.
Final feature on the night was the IMCA Hobby Stocks 12 lap feature and this feature would go green-to-checkered caution free. Aaron Rudolph would lead the first 7 laps but he was passed by Mark Fee on lap 8. Fee would go on to the win, Rudolph got 2nd. Eric Larson, Richard Yaw III and Russell Damme was 3rd through 5th.
The final checkered flag would come out at 10:45p putting another great night to rest.
Next friday night we are back in action at the Marshalltown Speedway with Haverhill Social Club Night at the Races. Pits gates open at 5:15p, grandstands at 5:30p, Hot Laps at 6:45p and Racing at 7:30p!
