My Memorial Day Weekend ventures ended at the Boone Speedway again where i took in the Deery Brothers Summer Series for IMCA Late Models. Also racing was the IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA SportMods, IMCA Hobby Stocks and Mod Lites.
Despite the low car count there was some great racing action all night only 2 divisions required a b-main and they were the SportMods and Hobby Stocks. 23 Late Models took to battle at the Boone Speedway for the annual Memorial Day Shootout.
First feature of the night was the Mod Lites 18 lap feature. Just 2 days ago Josh May would end his race on his side but tonight he would advantage as he would redraw the pole and lead from start to finish in the feature that would go green-to-checkered. Ed Zehm would be in 2nd all 18 laps and Joel Keenan would be in 3rd. Randy Bryan and Jason Whitehead rounded out the top 5.
Up next was the IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series feature and it was Tyler Bruening and Mike Murphy Jr. earning the front row. Murphy would take the lead and look to be going on to the easy win until lap traffic. Murphy and Bruening would get through the lap traffic and then with just 2 laps to go the caution came out for Jason Hahne spinning around in turn 4. On the restart however there would be another caution coming out for six cars getting together in turn 4 blocking traffic (i like to call this a road blocker). Murphy would have Bruening and Jeff Aikey behind him but Murphy would get a great restart but just after another lap was completed the caution would out for 4 cars getting together in turn 4 (i like to call this a parking lot). Murphy would go on and take the win with Bruening and Aikey in 2nd and 3rd. Ray Guss Jr. and Luke Goedert would end up 4th and 5th.
Andy Mahlstedt would lead the first 4 laps in the Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stock feature before being pasted by John Watson. Watson would take the lead on lap 5 and go on and take his 5th win of the year at Boone. Mahlstedt would finish 2nd, Tyler Pickett was 3rd, Dustin Filloon was 4th and Robert Smith was 5th.
IMCA SportMods feature would see Darren Huntley take the lead early but would have have several challenges from Scott Davis through out the race. The only race caution came out on lap 13 for Jared Van Deest in turn 1, when the race resumed Huntley would resume command but have to deal with Davis and Daniel Tasler. Huntley, Davis and Tasler would be 3 wide and it was Tasler making the pass and taking the lead. Davis would slide in to 2nd and Huntley would experience trouble. Tasler took the win, Davis was 2nd, Eric Elliott ended up 3rd, Casey Greubel was 4th and Joel Rust was 5th.
Final Feature of the night was the IMCA Stock Cars feature. Eric Brown would lead the first 4 laps but however he was penalized for jumping the start so that would credit the lead over to Michael Murphy and with that it meant Murphy would lead all 20 laps. The only caution came out on lap 7 when Adam Hilgenberg would spin in turn 4. Murphy would take the win over Michael Jaennette, 77x and David Smith.
Racing came to and end at 9:15 pm. Next up for the Deery Brother Summer Series will be Tuesday June 12th and the Cedar County Raceway in Tipton for the Doubleheader with the JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour. For information about the Deery Series check out http://www.imca.com/
