Finally with a little break in the weather with some temperatures
about 20 degrees cooler than it was the past few weeks it definitely
brought the best out as there would be close and exciting finishes in
all the
features.
The night also would see the kids replacing
horsepower with peddle power as the annual kid races that got
rescheduled from earlier in the season and at the end of the night it
was the ever so popular fan favorite Spectator Eliminator Races.
Duayne
Herb would lead the first 3 laps before Merv Chandler would find away
around Herb to take the lead. Herb wouldn’t give up as he would continue
to battle with Chandler but Chandler would hold off Herb and take win
number 11 on Friday Nights at Marshalltown. Herb was 2nd and John Gill
was unable to make the call for the feature.
O’Reilly Auto Parts
Mod Lites feature would see Adam Larson from Ames take the early lead.
Larson would hold on to the top spot until lap 6 when Josh May would get
by for the lead. May would lead but his lead would be short lived as he
would have a little trouble with a lap car and then have some
mechanical issue forcing him to a stop in turn 4 on lap
10. That would give the lead back to Larson but it was Morrill making
the pass for the lead on lap 12. Larson wouldn’t give up and would race
side-by-side with Morrill but Morrill would take the win, his 5th of the
season on Friday Nights and Larson would settle for 2nd. Mike Kennedy,
Joel Huggins and Jeff Stensland rounded out the top 5.
The Big 8
Tyre Center IMCA SportMods saw Gatlin Leytham take the early lead but on
lap 3 it was 14 year old Sam Wieben taking the lead away. Then a lap
later the only race caution would fly for Shawn Albers coming to a stop
on the back stretch. On the restart, Wieben would have Leytham, Jared
VanDeest, Racer Hulin and Travis Peterson right behind him. Wieben would
hold on to the lead until 9th place starter Racer Hulin would make the
move on the outside to take lead away. Hulin would go on take his 3rd
win of the season at Marshalltown. Jake Strayer would end up 2nd, Wieben
was 3rd, Scott Davis was 4th and
Joel Rust was 5th.
In Toby K’s Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stocks
feature it was Matt Hudspeth taking the lead and it appeared it was
going to be his race to lose until a few laps to go when Point Leader
Scott Pippert, who started 12th had worked his way up to 2nd and began
to battle for the lead. Pippert would fail until coming off turn 4 to
the checkered as he would win at the line over Hudspeth, for Pippert it
was win number 4 on Friday Nights. Finishing behind Pippert and Hudspeth
was Brice Udelhoven, Eric Knutson and Eugene Nicklas.
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 once again. Jay Schmidt
would lead the first few laps before it was Steve Meyer taking over the
lead on lap 4. Meyer would cruise to the victory despite a race caution
on lap 9. For Meyer it was win number 1 of the season at Marshalltown.
Trent Murphy, Todd Reitzler, Tracy Gienger and Jay
Schmidt completed out the top 5.
The final feature of the night
was Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds feature saw the original
start called back but once the racing got going they were going 3 and 4
wide in the early going. Zack Rawlins would take the early lead and then
the 2nd caution would come out for a couple cars going around on the
front stretch. Rawlins wouldn’t let it bother him however Rawlins would
get passed by Josh Truman. Truman would only lead 2 laps as Jimmy Gustin
would get by on lap 8. Gustin would begin to pull away but then late in
the race, Luke Wanninger would chase down Gustin and battle for the
lead. Wanninger would make the pass on lap 18 and then the final race
caution setting up a green-white-checkered finish. Wanninger would hold
off the challenges from Gustin to take win number 4 of the season.
Gustin would also get credit for the win which would be win number 5 at
Marshalltown. Rawlins would finish 3rd,
Truman was 4th and Scott Simatovich was 5th.
In the Spectator
Eliminators it was Todd Schurr driving a 1985 Blue Chevrolet Corvette to
the win over Speedway Promoter Toby Kruse, who replaced the 1929 Model A
Rust driven by Brad Roorda which encounters some mechanical trouble.
