After having its weekly show last week on Fisher Towing Night cut short because of rain it was back to action at the Benton County Speedway in Vinton on Ron Da Voo Lounge and Deli Night. The program would continue right were it left off the week before with the make up fatures in the Hobby Stocks, Modifieds and Stock Cars.
First up was the IMCA Hobby Stocks make-up feature which would begin with 5 laps down and it was Shannon Anderson from Urbandale resuming command of the lead and he began to pull away. It appeared Anderson would go on to the win until lap traffic would slow him down which allowed Brian Happel to chase him down. Happel would try to get the lead away on the waving green but couldn't complete the pass. On the next lap, Happel would drive it in hard and make contact with Anderson forcing the yellow to come out forcing a green-white-checkered finish, Happel would be blacked flagged for questionable driving and sent to the pits meanwhile Anderson was going to be sent to the tail before exiting to the pits. Chris Luloff, who was third now was the new race leader. Luloff would lead the remaining two laps to take the win over Kyle Parizek, Matt Brown, Nick Murty and Justin Stander
In the IMCA Modified make-up feature the caution would wave before one lap could be completed as Brandon Banks would experience some troubles getting started and stacked up the field forcing a few cars to the pits to fix damage and tires. When the race got going it would be Joe Docekal grabbing the early lead. Docekal looking to be going on to the win but at halfway, Ronn Lauritzen would make the pass and grab the lead. Lauritzen was out front but Richie Gustin was coming through and made his way up to second on lap 12 and tried to pass Lauritzen for the lead. Gustin would finally get his nose in front on lap 19 for the lead but going into turn 1, Gustin would spin and bring out the yellow. Lauritzen would hold off challenges from Docekal and JD Auringer to take the win. Docekal was second, Auringer was third, Troy Cordes was fourth and Vern Jackson was fifth.
Damon Murty would lead from start to finish in the 15 lap IMCA Stock Car make-up feature that was event free compared to the first 2 make up features. John Emerson came home in runner-up position. Rick Kriegel, Jerry Miles and Scott Beauregard rounded out the top 5.
Now on to the regular night features and the first one was the IMCA Sport Compacts 12 lap feature. It would be Bill Whalen Jr. leading from start to finish but it was not easy as he would have to hold off Nathan Chandler through out the entire feature. Merv Chandler would finish third, Steve Miedke was fourth and Travis Losenicky was fifth.
Rookie Brady Graham would lead the first four laps in the 15 lap IMCA Sport Mod feature before the caution would wave when Jordan Peters would go off turn 4. On the restart, Graham would be passed by Danny Dvorak and shortly after the yellow would come out for Ryan King going off turn 3. Dvorak would continue to lead but on lap 10 would have to deal with Nick Roberts. Dvorak and Roberts would start fighting for the top spot when the yellow came out on lap 11 for Brad Iverson and Brett Lowry would get together in turn 3. Dvorak and Roberts resume their battle when the race resumed and on lap 13, the two would make contact that sent Roberts spinning and coming to a stop in turn 2. Dvorak would go to the win with Brett Lowry in 2nd, Kurt Moeding was 3rd, Brad Iverson was 4th and Joel Rust was 5th.
Before one lap was completed in the 15 lap IMCA Hobby Stock feature the caution would wave twice for debris. When the race got going it was Paul Nagle grabbing the lead with Shannon Anderson and Brian Happel right behind him. Just after the completion of lap 5, Chris Luloff would roll his car off the top side of turn 1, He would be okay but his night would come to and end. Nagle again would have to hold off Anderson and now Justin Stander but on lap 10 the caution would come out again when Brian Happel would have something break in his rear end and roll over in turn 3, Kyle Parizek would drive hard off turn 3 and both would be okay, Happel night would be over but Parizek would continue. The final 5 laps would go un-eventful and it was Nagle holding off Anderson to take the win. Stander, Matt Brown and Justin Wacha rounded out the top 5.
Kyle Brown and Mike Burbridge would battle it out for the lead through out the early going and it would be Brown leading lap 1 before Burbridge would grab the lead on lap 2. Burbridge would continue to lead until Brown would grab the lead back on lap 6. Brown would continue to lead when the caution would come out on lap 16 when Ronn Lauritzen would go for a spin on the front stretch and JD Auringer would spin in turn 4. Brown would lead the remaining laps to take the win. Richie Gustin would finish a close 2nd, Patrick Flannagan was 3rd, Tyler Droste was 4th and Troy Cordes was 5th.
The final feature of the night was the IMCA Stock Car Feature and it was Mike Galli grabbing the earyl lead but just after 1 lap was completed the caution woul wave for debris. When the race resumed it was was Damon Murty grabbing the lead and then the yellow would wave again when Rick Kriegel would spin in turn 4. Another caution would wave on lap 3 when Galli would spin on the backstretch. Murty wouldn't let that bother him as he began to pull away when the next caution came out on lap 9 for debris in turns 3 and 4. Murty again would not let that bother him in the meantime the John Emerson was coming and on lap 12, Trent Jeanes would spin out in turn 3. On the restart, Emerson would try to make the pass but would make contact with Murty and take him out forcing Jarod Weepie to run into the mess and bring the yellow to come out. Murty would get to keep his spot meanwhile Emerson would be sent to the tail for questionable driving. Murty would lead the remiaining 3 laps to claim his 2nd feature win of the night. Norman Chesmore, Jerry Miles, Scott Pippert and John Watson would round out the top 5.
