Shute, Elliott, Murty, Luellen and Hennigar Win on Opening Night in Boone
By Jeremy Fox
Boone,
Iowa (April 13th, 2013) – A Week after hosting the very successful frostbuster the Boone Speedway would have a dueling match with mother nature and would win as many other local tracks would be forced to cancelled their weekly shows.
Andy Hennigar would lead the entire 15 lap Mod Lite Feature that would go caution free. Josh May would chase him down but end up 2nd with Travis Stensland, Bryan Zehm and Randy Bryan rounding out the top 5.
Cody Knecht would grab the early race lead in the IMCA SportMod feature but as he was getting through the lap traffic the caution would come out on lap 8 when Tim Rupp would spin around in turns 3 and 4. Knecht would have to deal with Boone's Eric Elliott and that he would. Elliott would make the move and pass for the lead on lap 13. Knecht wouldn't give up but it was Elliott taking the win in his new dirt boss chassis sport mod. Knecht finished 2nd, Joel Rust was 3rd, Geoff Olson was 4th and Ty Luellen was 5th.
IMCA Modified feature would see Todd Shute grab the lead but just after one lap was completed the caution would come out. Shute would again get a great start and pull away until lap traffic would slow him down just a bit but just as it appeared he was going to have an easy win the caution would wave on lap 14 when Jacob Murray would experience troubles and take it too the infield. Shute wouldn't let that bother him as he would lead the remaining 6 laps to take the win. Jimmy Gustin, Jon Snyder, Russ Dickerson and Mike Albertsen would round out the top 5.
In the IMCA
Stock Cars it was Cory Bushnell leading the first six laps before Damon Murty would sneak by and take the lead on lap 7. Murty would take the win with Bushnell in 2nd, Trent Murphy was 3rd, Donavon Smith was 4th and Wayne Gifford was 5th.
Final feature of the night was the
IMCA Hobby Stocks, Austin Luellen grabbing the early lead and it appeared he would be crusining on to the easy win before Austin Hauswirth would chase him down and battle for the lead. Hauswirth would grab the lead by a slight advantage on lap 9, 10 and 11 but it would be Luellen sneaking back by to grab the win. Hauswirth would end up a very close 2nd. Shannon Anderson, Mike Pruitt and back out of semi retirement Matt Sorenson would finish 3rd through 5th.
The Boone Speedway will resume Saturday April 20th with another night of racing. Pits Open at 2p, Grandstands at 3p, Hot Laps at 4p and Racing at 5p for the remaining racing events in the month of April before returning to its normal times.
