With temperatures soaring to near 100 degrees it was a nice hot night
for racing at the historic Southern Iowa Speedway but of coarse not
everything would be entirely good with the hot temperatures. As many
people started to arrive to the track they saw the water truck broke
down and that was because of a vapor lock in the engine which lead to a
30 minute late start on Titan Machinery of Oskaloosa and Pajama Night at
the Speedway.
During intermission the top 2 drivers in
points in each class would race little RC Cars around a little make
shift track on the frontstretch and it was Cayden Carter taking the win
over Curtis Vanderwal.
First feature of the night was
the Autocrafters/Whalen Racing IMCA Sport Compacts 8 lap feature. John
Whalen would take the early lead but it was racing veteran Merv Chandler
taking the lead on lap 4. Chandler would go on and take his 6th win in
the last 7 weeks and 7th of the season at the Southern Iowa Speedway.
Bill Whalen Jr would pass his brother John for 2nd. Tim Bevins and
Anthony Cassat would round out the top 5.
Next up was
the Pyramid Graphics and Sports IMCA SportMods feature and it was Bill
Gibson leading from start to finish in the green-to-checkered caution
free feature. Ryan Fullenkamp would cross the line in 2nd but be
disqualifed in post race tech because it MSD ignition box and chip
wasn't working. Curtis Vanderwal would be promoted to 2nd, Eric Flander
to 3rd, Jesse Sobbing to 4th and Carter Vandenberg to 5th.
In
the Tracy Elevator IMCA Hobby Stocks feature before 1 lap was completed
Jarred Gann would come to a stop in turn 2 to bring out the caution. On
the restart, Jamie Songer would start right where he left off 1 week
ago and that was take the lead but just after the completion of 2 laps
the caution would come out when Mike Hughes would go off the backstretch
entering turn 3. Songer would get passed by Dustin Griffiths on the
restart and Griffiths would hold the lead until lap 5 when the caution
would come out for Shannon Anderson coming to a stop in turn 1 and then
again on the restart when Richard Puhlka would hit a tractor tire on the
bottom side of turn 4. Griffiths would not let that bother him as he
would go on and take the win despite another caution on lap 7. Songer
would end 2nd, Mike Hughes would come back up and finish 3rd, Kevin Fee
was 4th and Kris Walker driving Scott Shull's car was 5th.
Carter's
Manufacturing IMCA Stock Cars feature would see Leroy Groenendyk lead
the first lap before Grinnell's Todd Reitzler would take the top spot
away when Groenendyk would slip up in turns 1 and 2. Reitzler would
continue to lead until the first caution came out on lap 5 for Todd
Phillips in turn 3 and then again on lap 12 for Corey Stout in turn 2.
Reitzler would go on to the win with Alan Van Gorp in 2nd, Damon Murty
in 3rd, Matt Greiner in 4th and Nathan Wood in 5th.
Final
feature of the night was the Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds feature.
Bill Davis Jr was making his 3rd appearance of the season and he made it
worth the trip as he would lead all 15 laps. There would be 3 mid race
cautions on laps 8 and 9, the first 2 on lap 8 for Jacob Murray in turn 4
and then Todd Shute in turn 2. The caution on lap 9 for Scott Dickey
going off the backstretch. None of those cautions would bother Davis as
he would take the win with Andrew Schroeder in 2nd. Jake Durbin making
his 1st appearance was 3rd, Jacob Murray was 4th and Beau Kaplan was
5th.

Southern Iowa Speedway will host the 18th Annual Budweiser World
