After attending all 5 nights of the Frostbusters this past week i decide to put together some stats for the Frostbusters there not major stats not heat races stats since i missed some of the heats in Des Moines on Thursday.
During the 5 nights of Frostbusters we had 10 states and 1 province in Canada i attendance to race. The states in attendance where Iowa, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Kansas, North Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, California, Minnesota and Texas. The one province in Canada that was strongly represented was Saskatchewan
Only 14 cars made attended all 5 nights of the frostbusters. The Modifieds saw 8 attend all 5 nights including NASCAR Racing Veteran Kenny Schrader. The Stock Cars had 5 attend all 5 nights meanwhile the SportMods had 1 attend all 5 nights and the Hobby Stocks had none attend all 5 nights.
The average car count for each night was a 150.2 with the highest being 211 cars at Marshalltown and the lowest being 92 at Vinton. So if you take out Marshalltown's number out of the figure it was 135.
Car Counts
Oskaloosa 124
Des Moines 135 (numbers do include the trucks)
Marshalltown 211
Boone 189
Vinton 92 (numbers do include the Sport Compacts)
Marshalltown also had the highest number of IMCA Modifieds signed in with 71 Modifieds......now a couple of factors on Boone and Vinton are Algona and Mason City were racing on Saturday and Sunday and the others decided to head home early!

So if there were Frostbuster week champions crowned they would have been Ken Schrader in the Modifieds, Bryan Lariviere in the SportMods, Damon Murty in the Stock Cars and Brandon Brinton in the Hobby Stocks.
I know they may not have been much stats but there are some stats from last week's frostbusters. Up next for me will either be Osky for the Season Opener or Marshalltown's Season Opener if the weather cooperates.
Until next time, Jeremy!
