After the races rained out at Marshalltown on Friday, i sat at home and watched the NASCAR Xfinity Serie race even though i could have made the three hour drive to Donnellson. Saturday Night though i was determined to find a place to watch some racing action after Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City cancelled (I was scheduled to fill in as announcer for Ryan Bergeson) and guess what the umbrella was back in place over the Boone Speedway because after being rained out last Saturday Night it was time for racing in Boone.
140 cars signed in to race at Iowa's Action Track, the Boone Speedway on a very cloudy and chilly Saturday night.
First feature of the night was the 15 lap Mod Lites feature event and it was Jimmy May grabbing the top spot right away and about the only thing slowing him down was a pair of race cautions on lap five and eight. May took the win after experiencing troubles a couple of weeks ago. His son Josh May finished second after passing Cory Dennis. Bryan Zehm was fourth and Joel Keenan was fifth.
Brian Eppert took the lead early in the 18 lap IMCA Northern SportMods feature event but just after the completion of lap one, the caution came out for Brandon Williams sliding off the top of turn three. Eppert continued to lead but the caution came out again on lap six when Tara Longnecker had something break in the rear end of her car that collected Colby Heishman and Daniel Tasler, Heishman and Tasler was able to continue. Eppert's lead this time would be short lived as Sam Wieben worked his way through the field from tenth and was able to take the lead away on lap ten. Wieben took the win despite a caution on lap 13 and then on lap 16. Jonathan Logue started ninth and worked his way to second. Clint Luellen from 11th to third, Randy Roberts was fourth and Ben Wilson was fifth.
Only thing slowing down Solomon Bennett in the 12 lap IMCA Hobby Stock feature was a debris caution on lap two. Bennett took the win though Andrew Burg caught up to him as the checkered flag flew. Daniel Hagen, Aaron Rudolph and Cody Gustoff rounded out the top five.
In the IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature, it was Racing Veteran at Boone John Logue taking advantage of the pole position as he took the top spot early. Shortly after one lap was completed the caution came out for Nick Roberts experiencing troubles and coming to a stop on the front stretch. Logue was not going to let that bother him as he continued to pace his way out front until the caution came out on lap seven for Pat Graham coming to a stop on the front stretch. Logue lead the remaining laps to take the win over Kyle Brown, Russ Dickerson, Jimmy Gustin and Scott Davis.
Final feature of the night was the 18 lap IMCA Stock Cars feature and it was Jay Schmidt leading from start-to-finish with only lap traffic slowing him down. After lap traffic slowed him down, Schmidt had a familiar driver Trent Murphy chasing him down but he held on to take the win just like his "Helping Hanah" team mate Sam Wieben did in the SportMods. Rookie Tyler Pickett was third, Wayne Gifford was fourth and Rod Richards was fifth.
Racing action contiunes next saturday night at the Boone Speedway with normal start times taking place next week. Hot Laps at 6:45pm and Racing at 7:30pm.
