Anderson Takes the MLRA Late Models at Osky
By Jeremy Fox
Oskaloosa, Iowa (June 12th, 2014) – It was back to life at the Southern Iowa Speedway after last week's rain out but just a few things were different. Taking the traditional Wednesday Night off to race on a Thursday Night produced for a great night of racing with around 100 cars signed in to do battle including the Lucas Oil MLRA/Corn Belt Clash Late Models on DOC360 and KBOE Radio Night.
First feature of the night was in the IMCA Sport Compacts eight lap event. Matt Moore led the first three laps before Bill Whalen Jr grabbed the lead away on lap four. Whalen took his fourth win at Osky this season over Moore, Shaun Slaughter, Austen Beccera and Trent Orwig.
In the KBOE Radio IMCA Sport Mods 15 lap feature, it was Logan Anderson grabbing the early lead. Anderson continued to lead until coming to complete lap nine when he spun in turn four collecting Cory Van Zante. That handed the lead over to "Mighty Mouse" Jason McDaniel, a lead he would not give up. McDaniel took his first win at SIS meanwhile Point Leader Curtis VanDerWal finished second. Carter VanDenBerg, Brayton Carter and Brett Lowry rounded out the top five.

Up next was the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Models 30 lap feature and before a single lap was completed the red flag came out when a handful of cars got together in turn four. After the mess was all cleaned up it was John Anderson taking full advantage of starting on the outside front row as he took the lead. Anderson was only slowed by lap traffic late which allowed Chris Simpson to chase him down but it was Anderson taking the win. Simpson beat his brother Chad Simpson for second. Matt Furman was fourth and Jason Utter was fifth. Ryan Gustin finished sixth after starting 22nd because he was forced to a back up car.
