Sunday Night at the Stuart Speedway was a exciting night and a very emotional night all in one. The racing was exciting all night and left fans on the edge of there seats and all the moisture stayed away and I think thats because of Richard "Bones" Welch and Ron Little making sure the event was going to have no issues because it rained every where around Stuart. Besides being the Bones/Ron Little Memorial it was also the Stew Hansen Stock Car Shootout.
Travis Stensland led from start-to-finish in the 20 lap Mod Lites feature event. Joel Huggins finished second, Mike Morrill was third, Josh May was fourth and Randy Bryan was fifth.
Before a lap was completed in the 15 lap IMCA Northern SportMods feature, the caution came out for Kody Havens, Dusti Carlisle and Kyle Tanner in turns three and four. When the race got going it was Chase Rudolf grabbing the lead but just after two laps was complete the caution came out for Hunter Weber in turn four. Rudolf continued to lead until Havens worked his way back through the field to take the lead over on lap six just before a pair of cautions. Havens continued to lead until Clint Luellen made the move and took over the top spot away coming to the white flag. Luellen took the win over Dusty Masolini, Lynn Brockett, Matt Hays and Rudolf.
Cory Flanigan making the pull down from Storm Lake led all ten laps in the IMCA Sport Compacts feature. Track Point Leader Jacob Reiter finished second, Curtis Miller was third, Jacob Peters was fourth and Kevin Staack was fifth.
Buck "Wild" Schaforth grabbed the early lead in the 15 lap IMCA Hobby Stocks feature but it was Austin Luellen grabbing the lead away on lap three and never looking back. Luellen took the win after going for a wild ride just the night before in Harlan. Shannon Anderson came home second with John Watson in third. Cory Adams and Schaforth finished fourth and fifth respectively.
After his father Terry Pruitt decided not to race on Sunday and asked him to drive, Josh Pruitt grabbed the lead in the 25 lap Stew Hansens Stock Car Shootout feature and even three early cautions did not faze him. Pruitt held off several challenges from Brian Blessington, Jay Schmidt, Marcus Fagen and Brandon Pruitt to take the win.
Final feature of the night was the 25 lap Ron Little Memorial for the IMCA Modifieds and before a lap was completed the caution came out when Josh Gilman and Jason Murray got together in turn one. Jacob Murray grabbed the lead when the race restarted but the caution came out again on lap two for a couple of incidents. Murray still maintained the lead until lap 19 when Nick Roberts took the lead away. Roberts and the field saw the caution come out for the final time on lap 21 for Cole Ferguson coming to a stop in turn two. Roberts held off challenges to take the $1,000 win. Luke Wanninger took second away from Murray. Todd Shute and Jimmy Gustin rouned out the top five.
Next week will be Avey Sanitation Night at the Races. We will have our 5
regular IMCA classes and we can’t wait for another great night of side
by side racing! See you then!
