Hot and Steamy Weather led to Hot and Steamy Racing in Mo'Town

Temperatures rose to the upper 90's, racing action heated up on the high-banks of the Marshalltown Speedway. 98 race cars checked in to do battle on Minute Man Printing Night.

The first feature of the night after the heats and a Sport Mod b-feature was the O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites for 15 laps. Tim Hennigar would take command early from his pole position but then a caution would come out on lap 3. Hennigar wouldn't let it bother him but he would have Colby Oberembt and James May right there. Oberembt would take the lead from Hennigar on lap 6, Hennigar wouldn't give up thought as he would come back and take the lead on lap 12 when Oberembt would have some mechanical issues forcing a caution. Hennigar would go on and take the win with Mike Morril, Josh May, Randy Bryan and Joel Huggins right behind rounding out the top 5.

Next up was the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods 15 lap feature only after 4 heats and a b-feature determined the 24 cars for the feature. Jenae Gustin would take the early race lead from the pole position but that lead would be short lived as Dane Larson would take the top spot on lap 4. The only thing to slow Larson down was race cautions on lap 4, 5, 10 and 11. Larson would take the win, Nick Roberts was 2nd, Kyle Brown was 3rd, Cayden Carter was 4th and Tyler Droste was 5th.

In the Mike's Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Car 18 lap feature it was Last Week's Winner Steve Meyer taking the lead early after starting 4th row inside. Meyer and that field would see the first caution come out on lap 2 for debris and on the restart Meyer would be passed by Trent Murphy for the lead. The caution would again come out for a couple of cars sitting on the back stretch. Murphy would continue to lead but his lead would be short lived as Donavon Smith would take the top spot on lap 6 and not look back despite a caution on lap 12. Finishing behind Smith was Meyer, Murphy, Curt Hook and Kevin Rose.

Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature was up next and it was "Toddzilla" Todd Shute taking full advantage of the pole position and lead the feature from start-to-finish in the green-to-checkered feature. Adam Larson was 2nd, Scott Simatovich was 3rd, Jimmy Gustin was 4th and Jon Snyder was 5th.

The final feature of the night was the Toby K's Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks 12 lap feature. Before the field could complete 1 lap the caution would come out for a car in turn 2 when the race did get going it was Gary Pfantz taking early command. Pfantz's lead would be short lived though as Donavon Nunnikhoven would make the pass for the lead and go on and take the win. Pfantz, Eric Knutson, Gene Nicklas and Brandon Pruitt was 2nd through 5th.

Racing action came to a finish at 10pm. Next Friday Night will be JR Motorsports Night at the Races also their will be the Annual Faster Paster Races.
