Well for the 2nd week in a row i decided to make the 57 mile drive from Marshalltown to Boone for a the season opener in Boone. Another great night of racing action at Iowa's Action Track would take place with 158 race cars signed in to do battle in 5 classes.
First feature on the night would be the Dwarf Cars/Mod Lites for 15 laps. It was Josh May that would take the lead at the start of the race after starting 4th. The only thing that slowed May was the cautions on lap 7 and 13, the first 1 on lap 7 was for Joel Huggins, Colby Oberembt and Cory Dennis in turn 3 & 4 and the second caution on lap 13 was for Andy Hennigar and Rick Taylor in turn 3 & 4. May would go on to the win with David Schmalzried in 2nd, Jeff Stensland in 3rd, Bryan Zehm in 4th and James May in 5th.
Next up would be the IMCA Sport Mods for 18 laps, it would take 6 heats and 2 b-feautres to dwindle the field down from 45 cars to just 24 cars. It was Randy Roberts from Boone, who got his race car wrapped earlier in the day taking full advantage of his outside front row starting spot as he would go on and lead the feature green-to-checkered in the caution free event. Clint Luellen, Troy Jerovetz, Scott Davis and Kyle Brown would round out the top 5.
IMCA Modifieds were up next for their 20 lap feature. Jamaica's Denny Pittman would take the lead on lap 1 but Luke Wanninger from Jefferson took over the top spot on lap 2. Wanninger would hold the top spot for a while but then the first race caution would come out on lap 10 for debris in turn 1. On the restart Wanninger would have to do battle with Cale Sponsler. Sponsler would take over the lead on lap 12 and then 2 cautions would come out on lap 13. First caution for Joel Bushore, Randy Havlik and Mike Molle in turn 4 and the second caution for Josh Most and Jake Durbin in turn 3 and also for debris in turn 3. Sponsler would resume command only to see the red flag come out on lap 16 when Luke Wanninger would roll his ride in turn 2, Wanninger would be okay. Sponsler would be able to control that and go on to take the win. Todd "Toddzilla" Shute, "Jammin" Jimmy Gustin, Justin Sackett and Russ Dickerson would round out the top 5.
In the IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature it was Boone's Eric Brown taking the early lead but after 1 lap was in the books the caution would come out for Butch Bass coming to a stop on the frontstretch. Brown would continue to lead but would have to battle with Randy Killen. Killen would take the lead from Brown on lap 3 and go on to the win. Damon Murty was 2nd, Cory Bushnell was 3rd, Josh Daniels was 4th and Trent Murphy was 5th.
The final feature of the night is the IMCA Hobby Stocks 12 lap feature after 4 heats and a b-feature dwindle the field from 36 cars to 24 cars. Jefferson's Michael Murphy would take full advantage of his pole position as he would lead the feature green-to-checkered in the caution free event.
