With the Harris Clash the night before in
Knoxville, the Marshalltown Speedway decided to throw some extra money
for the Modifieds and SportMods. There was also bonus money to the
winner of the Modifieds if the winner qualified for the Harris Clash
feature the
night before.
The racing action was fantastic all night and
there was a lot of close and exciting finish. There were 8 different
states and a province in Canada represented at Marshalltown on Friday
Night. The states represented were Iowa, Wisconsin, North Carolina,
Nebraska, Kansas, California, Missouri and Texas with Saskatchewan in
Canada represented.
Duayne Herb would lead the first 2 laps
before Merv Chandler would find away around Neil Nabholz for 2nd and
then Herb for the lead. Chandler would lead the remaining 6 laps to take
his 10th feature win on Friday Nights at Marshalltown. Herb was 2nd,
Travis Losenicky was 3rd, John Gill was 4th and Neil Nabholz was 5th.
O’Reilly
Auto Parts Mod Lites feature would see Joel Huggins jump to the race
lead just like did one week before and it appeared Huggins was going to
win but the lap traffic would slow him down and that allowed Josh May
and Mike Morrill to chase
him down but Morrill would be slowed just a bit which allow May to take
the lead on the top side on lap 9. May would go on and lead the
remaining laps to take his 5th win on Friday Nights. Morrill finished
2nd with Huggins, Randy Bryan and Jason Whitehead rounding out the top
5.
The Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA SportMods would need 4 heats and
b-feature to settle the field down to 24 and after that was all
completed it was time for the feature. In the feature it was Jenae
Gustin leading the first lap but it was Clint Luellen getting by for the
lead on lap 2. A lap later the caution would come out for Brett Lowry
in turn 2 but on the restart it was Luellen continuing to lead. Another
race caution would come out on lap 8 when Tom Rawlins would get together
with Lowry in turn 4. Luellen wouldn’t let it bother him but on lap 13
it was Brad Iverson, driving Jason Hall’s car taking the lead away from
Luellen. Iverson would go on and cross the line in first taking the win
over Luellen. Tyler Frye from Kansas was 3rd, Nick Roberts was 4th and
Racer Hulin 5th.
In Toby K’s Hideaway
IMCA Hobby Stocks feature it was again Garrett Eilander taking the lead
and it appeared Eilander was going to take the win but then 11th place
starter Scott Pippert would catch up to Eilander and make the move to
take the lead on lap 11. Pippert would take the 3rd win in as many weeks
at Marshalltown. Eric Knutson would get by Eilander for 2nd, moving
Eilander back to 3rd. Kevin Fee was 4th and Gary Pfantz was 5th.
The
Mike’s Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars would see some fantastic racing as
they would go 3 and 4 wide in the early going. Trent Murphy would jump
to the lead despite several challenges by his brother Michael Murphy and
Jay Schmidt. The only race caution on lap 5 when Kevin Balmer, Damon
Murty and Trevor Titus would
get together in turn 2 even wouldn’t bother Trent. Trent Murphy would
take his 2nd in a row. Michael Murphy, Jay Schmidt, Steve Meyer and
Tracy Gienger completed out the top 5.
The final feature of the
night was Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds feature saw Chris
Abelson lead the first lap before Luke Wanninger would get by on lap 2
and take the lead. Wanninger would begin to pull away meanwhile behind
they were 2, 3 and 4 wide. Just as Wanninger was getting through lap
traffic it appear he had some trouble as he would pull off on the last
lap which set up for the exciting finish off turn 4. Abelson and Jimmy
Gustin raced each other hard, Gustin would try to slide up and take the
win but Abelson would sneak to the bottom and win at the line. Gustin
finished close 2nd. Adam Larson was 3rd, Kyle Brown was 4th and Ricky
Stephan from Nebraska was 5th.
