Gill, Ceiliski, Brown, Luellen, Lowry, Smith and Wanninger Win on Cliff Chambers Memorial Night
By Jeremy Fox
Marshalltown, Iowa (May 9th, 2014)
– On Friday Night, it was back to action at the Marshalltown Speedway
on UAW 893 Cliff Chambers Memorial Night. The night is in great honor of
a pioneer of the speedway that we lost 25 years ago to cancer. There
was a lot of great racing all night that included three, four and five
wide racing.
First feature
on to the speedway was the IMCA Sport Compacts eight lapper. John Gill
started on the outside front row and he took advantage by taking the
lead. David Moorman tried several times to get by but just was not
going to deny Gill the win. For Gill, it was his first win since season
championship night last year. Moorman came across in second, Aaron
Miller was third, Jacob Reiter was fourth and Jeremy Stone was fifth.
Always
on Cliff Chambers Memorial Night, the Nostalgia Cars pay a visit to the
high banked quarter mile. They put on a show of themselves, racing cars
from the 1950's and 1960's, and even rubbing fenders. Jim Anderson led
the first six laps but it was Roger Ceilsiski taking the lead away on
lap seven. Ceilsiski went on to take the win in his 1963 Chevy Nova SS.
Anderson came home second, Pudge Grabill was third, Larry Knop was
fourth and Scott Jorpeland was fifth.
The
Mod Lites saw the caution come out before the completion of lap one in
their 15 lap feature. Charlie Brown got a great restart and took the
lead on the restart. Lap traffic slowed Brown a little but he was able
to hold on to take the win over hard charging Andy Hennigar. Mike
Morrill, Jimmy May and Travis Stensland rounded out the top five.
The
IMCA Hobby Stocks 12 lap feature also saw a yellow before the
completion of lap one. Austin Luellen grabbed the top spot and pulled
away but then the caution came out again on lap eight when Andy Hick had
his right rear go down forcing him to face the wrong direction on the
backstretch. That bunched the field up right behind Luellen and he would
not let that faze him as he held off late race challenges from John
Watson. Garrett Eilander came home third, Eric Larson was in a close
fourth and Eric Stanton in fifth.
Zach
McKinnion and Gatlin Leytham led the field to the green in the IMCA
SportMods 18 lap feature event. Neither one of them took the early lead,
it was Brett Lowry. Lowry saw Carter VanDenBerg take the top spot away
on lap three. VanDenBerg pulled away to what appeared to be an easy win
until lap traffic slowed him down allowing Lowry to stay close.
VanDenBerg came across the line in first but was disqualifed in
post-race tech inspection for his ignition box. That gave the win to
Lowry and moving up Jenae Gustin to second, Doug Smith to third, Clint
Luellen to fourth and Ty Luellen to fifth.
Class
to Tough To Tame or better known as the IMCA Stock Cars continue to
live up to their name every night. Steve Meyer grabbed the lead early
and appeared to be taking the win until the caution came out on lap 11.
This forced a seven lap dash to the finish and now Meyer saw Jeff Wollam
and Jay Schmidt on his back bumper. Trent Murphy and Donavon Smith also
right there and that is where the battle heated up. Smith made the
right move with two laps to go, he took the top spot away to take the
win. Meyer, Schmidt, Murphy and Wollam rounded out the top five.
The
IMCA Modifieds feature was the final feature of the night and it was
the rookie Eric Elliott jumping to the lead. Elliott held that lead
until lap 14 when Luke Wanninger snuck by him. Wanninger began to pull
away but the caution came out forcing a four lap shootout. Wanninger got
a great restart and went on to take the win over 10th place starter
Joel Rust. Racer Hulin came across in third but was disqualifed in post
race tech inspection. Ronn Lauritzen was credited with third place,
Elliott with fourth place and Tyler Droste with fifth place.
Next
Friday Night all Boy and Girl Scouts are asked to wear their uniforms
as it is Scout Night. It is all Casey's General Stores Night at the
races. Hot Laps at 6:45 p.m. and Racing at 7:30 p.m.
