Hennigar, Carter, Fee, Meyer and Truman all winners on New Hope Christian Church/J&V Napa Auto Parts Night

It was a beautiful friday night in Marshalltown as New Hope Christian Church and J&V Napa Auto Parts brought us a great night of racing action on the high banked quarter mile.

Before the features we would have the youngsters coming to the track for their Cardboard Car Races where we split it up in to 4 groups.

Once that was complete it was time for the first feature of the night which would be the O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites for 15 laps. After the caution for debris force a complete restart it was Jeff Stensland taking the lead on lap 1 but it was Tim Hennigar making the pass and not look back even another caution came out on lap 6. Tim Hennigar would go on and take his 3rd feature event of the year with Josh May took 2nd, Mike Morrill was 3rd, Randy Bryan was 4th and James May came home 5th.

Toby K's Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks was up next and it was veteran Randy Embery taking the lead and he would start to pull away and nothing seem to slow Embery down including the 2 race cautions. Embrey would cross the line in first but in post race tech inspection he was disqualifed for not having the proper weight needed. So the win would be handed over to Kevin Fee. Devin Smith, Eric Knutson, Michael Murphy and Eric Larson rounded out the top 5.

In the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods feature it was Brett Lowry back driving his car taking the early lead and just after 1 lap was scored the caution would fly for Zack Rawlins after he hit the front stretch wall hard damaging the race car. Lowry still resumed command and look as if he would pull away with the win despite the final race caution on lap 8 but Cayden Carter would chase him down and make the pass coming to the white flag. Carter would take the win his 5th on friday nights, Lowry would end up 2nd. Racer Hulin, Jenae Gustin and Scott Davis would finish 3rd through 5th.

Mike's Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Car feature saw Steve Meyer take the lead early and look to be pulling away with the lead but the caution came out on lap 3. Meyer would resume command but have company, Jay Schmidt would take the lead on lap 8 but Schmidt's lead was short lived as Meyer got by as Schmidt experienced mechanical issues. Meyer would go on and take the win, his 2nd of the year at Marshalltown. Tracy Gienger, Trent Murphy, Jeff Wollam and Damon Murty would round out the top 5.

The final feature of the night was the Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds it was Josh Truman taking the early lead then the caution would come out on lap 3 and 4. Truman still remained out front but the rest of the race, he would have to deal with Richie Gustin and Jimmy Gustin for the top spot. Truman would hold off both challenges and take the win, Richie Gustin finished 2nd with Jimmy Gustin in 3rd. Danny Fetters and Scott Simatovich would end up 4th and 5th.

Final checkered flew at 9:55p putting an end to another great night of racing. Next Friday Night we are back at it as Rouse Motor Dodge of Grundy Center will give fans the opportunity to test drive a new Dodge. Also it will be the rescheduled Cliff Chambers Memorial Night and the Nostalgia Cars are scheduled to make an appearance.
