Gustin Takes The Big Money In Boone
By Jeremy Fox
Boone, Iowa (April 6th, 2013) – The Boone Speedway kicked its 2013 racing season off with the Annual Frostbuster and around 190 cars signed in to do battle at the Home of the Super Nationals.
Cale Sponsler jumped into the early lead and looking to be cruising on to the win until lap traffic would start getting in the way. This would allow Defending Track Champion and Former Super Nationals Winner Jimmy Gustin to chase him down and start doing battle with Sponsler.
Gustin almost grabbed the lead when the yellow flag came out on lap fourteen for Jay Noteboom loosing the handle in turn turn 2. However on the restart, Gustin would not give up trying to get by Sponsler and would finally complete the pass on lap 16. Gustin would go on to take the win after having 2 bad nights in Des Moines and Marshalltown but tonight would be rich night as he also won the Harris Auto Racing King of the Hill so total Gustin walked with $1,500.
Sponsler finished second meanwhile Horicon, Wisconsin’s Jeremy Christians was third. Mike Van Genderen and Luke Wanninger rounded out the top 5.
In the IMCA Stock Cars it was Craig Carlson leading the first 9 laps but on the 10th lap he would have something break forcing his car to come to a rest on the frontstretch, this would hand the lead over to LeGrand, Iowa Driver Dustin Vis. Vis would lead until Mike Goldsberry would take the lead away on lap 15 but his lead would be short lived as Wayne and Jerry Gifford would make it a four car battle for the top spot. Wayne Gifford would get by and take the lead on lap 17 and go on to take the victory. Goldsberry came home second, Jerry Gifford was 3rd. Michael Murphy would get by Vis for fourth.
IMCA Sport Mod feature saw Jared Hansen from Audubon jump to the early race lead and he was pulling away until just before halfway he started getting in to the lap traffic this would allow Ty Luellen, Andy Tiernan and Rocky Caudle to catch up. Tiernan would grab second and then make the move on Hansen on lap 13 to take the lead. The only race caution came out for debris on lap 17 and this would set up for an exciting finish. Tiernan would hold off any challenges from Hansen to take the win. Hansen, Luellen, Caudle and Cory Rose rounded out the top 5.
Final feature of the night was the IMCA Hobby Stocks and before one lap could be completed the red flag would wave as Jason Kohl would roll off the top side of turn 3, Kohl would climb from the car okay. When the feature got going it was run 15 laps caution free and it was Trevor Holm leading every lap to take the win. Shane Slezak, Tyler Pickett, Shawn Slezak and Richard Yaw II finished second through fifth.
Final night of the Frostbuster is at the Benton County Speedway in Vinton.
The Boone Speedway will get underway with weekly track points next Saturday Night April 13th.
