Memorial Day is a day to remember those that served our country and lost their lifes or family members you may have lost. It also means the traditional Memorial Day races at the Boone Speedway featuring the IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series Late Models.
Only 25 Late Models signed on Monday to race Boone so all of them raced the 40 lap feature event and it was Scott Fitzpatrick and Justin Kay, a pair of drivers from Wheatland on the Front row. Fitzpatrick took the top spot early and lead until the first race caution on lap ten. This allowed Kay and Todd Cooney to restart behind Fitzpatrick, Kay made the move and took the lead over and after the caution on lap 13, it appeared to be an easy win until the caution came out on lap 37. On the restart, Kay had Richie Gustin and Jeff Aikey in tow. Gustin and Kay raced side-by-side and it was Kay edging out Gustin coming to the white flag only to come out because Fitzpatrick had spun in the bottom of turn four. That set up a green-white-checkered finish which Kay was able to get a great restart and go on to take the win meanwhile Aikey got by Gustin for second. Tyler Droste and Ray Guss Jr rounded out the top five.
Mike Morrill led from start to finish in the 20 lap Stars Mod Lite feature event and not even a caution lap seven or lap traffic slowed him down. Jimmy May, Joel Keenan, Josh May and Charlie Brown finished second through fifth.
The IMCA Northern SportMods 20 lap feature was action packed but managed to go caution free. Brandon Williams led the first 13 laps before Doug Smith worked his way up to take the spot away on lap 14. Williams took it back a lap later and these two swapped the lead the next two laps. Williams took the lead away on lap 17 but Smith did not give up as he made the right move on the last lap to take the top spot and the win away coming to the checkered. Tim Love was third, Nate Whitehurst as fourth and Jonathan Logue was fifth.
"Napa" Jay Schmidt led wire to wire in the 20 lap IMCA Stock Car feature and not even a caution on lap six would slow him down. Donavon Smith tried to chase him down but time ran out. Brandon Pruitt came home third, Chris Pruitt was fourth and Wayne Gifford was fifth.
Final featue of the night was the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature and it was Tim Barber leading the first four laps. The first caution came out on lap four and on the restart that allowed Andrew Burg to take the lead away. Burg took the win despite a caution on lap ten for debris. John Watson, Cody Gustoff, Barber and Shawn Wirtz rounded out the top five.
