Marolf Dominates Late Models on Drost Equipment and Jerry Pro Collision Center Night at SIS
By Jeremy Fox
Oskaloosa, Iowa (June 19th, 2013)
– A Beautiful day made for a great night at of racing at the Mahaska
County Monster located at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds. There was two,
three and four racing through out the night and that made for some great
races. Also on hand for the night was the Mississippi Valley Vintage
Racing Association for exhibition races.
In the IMCA Sport
Compacts feature it was Trent Orwig grabbing the early lead before Merv
Chandler grabbed the lead on lap 4. Chandler went on to take his 4th win
of the season over John Whalen, Bill Whalen Jr., Kassidy Kirkpatrick
and Matt Moore.
Todd Reitzler grabbed the lead in the Budweiser
IMCA Stock Car feature but just after the completion of lap one the
caution waved. Reitzler resumed command but had his handsful the
remainder of the way as he had Damon Murty and Zack Vanderbeek on his
back bumper when it came to end. Reitzler took the win with Murty in
second, Vanderbeek in third, Rich Vogt in fourth and Brad Pinkerton in
fifth.
Nick Marolf started on the pole and took full advantage of
that in the KBOE Radio IMCA Late Models feature. Marolf had pulled away
until lap traffic slow him down a bit that allowed Todd Cooney to chase
him down. Just as it appeared Marolf was going to take an easy win the
caution waved forcing a green-white-checkered finish when Dylan Book
lost a drive shaft coming off turn 4. Marolf held off Cooney on the
restart to take the win. Tommy Elston, Spencer Diercks and Darrel
DeFrance rounded out the top 5.
Richie Gustin jumped to the lead
in the Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds feature and just after one lap was
completed the caution waved for Casey Greubel losing the handle. Gustin
didn’t let that bother him as he resumed command and appeared to be
going on to the easy win until the caution waved two more times on lap
14 and 15. Gustin held off challenges from Cayden Carter and Scott
Dickey the remaining laps to take the win. Carter finished second,
Dickey was third, Brandon Banks came home fourth and Tyler Vandekamp was
fifth.
Pepsi Cola IMCA Hobby Stocks feature saw Bobby Greene
lead the first 6 laps before Mike Hughes worked his way from his 5th row
outside starting position to take the lead on lap seven. Hughes went on
too take his 4th win of the season at SIS. Greene gets his best finish
this season in the runner up position. Justin Hook, Bill Bonnett and
Danny Thrasher finish third through fifth respectively.
Bill
Livery lead the opening lap in the Pyramid Graphics and Sports IMCA
Sport Mods feature but just before the completion of lap 2, Livery lost
the handle in turn 4 forcing the yellow that handed the lead over to AJ
Johnson. Johnson’s lead was short lived as on the restart it was Curtis
VanDerWal grabbing the top spot, who worked his way through from his
ninth place starting position. VanDerWal went on to win by a whole
straightway to claim his 4th win of the season and his 2nd in as many
weeks. Carter VanDenBerg passed Ben Kates on the last lap to claim 2nd.
Eric Flander finish 4th and Jason Hall was 5th.
