May, Churchill, Smith and Eckrich Winners at Marshalltown!

It was time for the much anticipated show at Marshalltown when the Deery Brothers Summer Series would be on hand to hold their 21st event on the high banked oval. 111 race teams signed in too do battle on Tuesday Night.


O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites would be up first for 15 laps, 15 Mod Lites would sign in and all made the call. Mike Morrill would jump out to the early lead but Charlie Brown would take the lead from Morrill on lap 2. Just as it look like Brown was getting confortable in the lead the caution came out on lap 4. This would allow Josh May took start on the back bumper of Brown and make the pass for the lead. May would then see the caution come out on lap 6 but it wouldn't bother him as he would go on and take the win. Morrill got 2nd, Andy Hennigar was 3rd, Dusty Masolini was 4th and Tim Hennigar was 5th.


After 2 Sport Mod B-Features and 2 Late Model B-Features it was time for the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks feature for 15 Laps. Steve Churchill from Des Moines would lead the race from start-to-finish in the green-to-checkered feature and win it by a full straightaway. Bret Moyer was 2nd, Ed Nelson was 3rd, Russ Byriel was 4th and Brad Moyer was 5th.


The Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods 20 lap feature only after the field was dwindle down from 45 to 24 for the feature. Scott Davis would take the lead early but see the caution come out for the first time on lap 1. Davis would have a good restart though and look to be going on to the win when the caution came out on lap 13. This would bunch the field up behind Davis and on the restart Davis would be passed by Doug Smith. Just after Smith took the lead the final race caution came out on lap 15. Smith manage to go on and take the win, Davis was 2nd, Tyler Droste was 3rd, Carter Vandenberg was 4th and Clint Luellen was 5th.


IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series IMCA Late Models "Miller Lite 50" was the final feature of the night. Took 4 heats, 2 b-features and some provisionals to get the field down to just 24. Andy Eckrich and "Ironman" Darrel DeFrance would redraw the front row. Eckrich would take the lead but just after 2 laps in books 2 cautions would come out. Eckrich then would begin to pull away and would hit lap traffic on lap 12 but the caution would fly for the final time 10 laps later. Eckrich would now have to worry about Tom Darbyshire and Tyler Bruening on his back bumper. Eckrich would get a good restart and start to pull away and again the only thing that would slow Eckrich would be the lap traffic which he hit on lap 35. Eckrich would go on and take the win, Tom Darbyshire was 2nd, Tyler Bruening was 3rd, Ray Guss Jr was 4th and Matt Strassheim was 5th.


Racing started at 7p and finished at 10:22p. A great night of racing and we hope to see you back at the Marshalltown Speedway on Friday where Hot Laps at 6:45p and Racing at 7:30p.
