After spending that last few saturday's at home with it being extremely hot or the weather questionable, the decision was made to go somewhere this week. I loaded up my camera bag and my clipboard to keep notes and made the trip west on Highway 30 to the Boone Speedway for a Saturday Night Weekly Racing Series Night plus the Outlaw Mini Mods.
It was action packed night with all regular classes in competition and a first time visit for the Liquid Nitro Outlaw Mini Mods Series. 129 cars signed in on Saturday Night including 11 Outlaw Mini Mods and 9 Cruisers. The IMCA Stock Cars also had a King of the Hill on the night.
Before the features got going the IMCA Stock Cars King of the Hill was ran. Devin Smith took the win ahead of Rod Richards, Scott Davis and Josh Daniels in the final round to nab the top prize in the King of the Hill.
First feature of the night was the 20 Lap K1 Race Gear IMCA Racesaver Sprint Cars feature. Shadrach Sporaa led the first ten laps before Val Urman took the top spot away on lap 11. Urman pulled away a cruised to the checkered flag and the win. Sporaa finish second, Mike Houseman Jr was third, Ryan Navratil was fourth and Tyler Thompson was fifth.
Travis Stensland grabbed the lead early in the MyRacePass Mod Lites 15 lap feature event. Stensland tried to hold off his father Jeff Stensland meanwhile "Huggie Bear" Joel Huggins was able to get by both of them on lap four. Huggins held on to take the feature win with Travis Stensland finishing second. Mike Kennedy took third away from Jeff Stensland. Bryan Zehm came across in fifth place.
The caution came out before a lap was scored in the Liquid Nitro Outlaw Mini Mods 12 lap feature when Lucas Daniels spun in turn one and two. Nathan Kilwine started fourth but by the end of lap one, he was the man in command. Kilwine and the field was slowed when the caution came out on lap four for Chase Daniels getting upside down in turn one and two. Kilwine fend off a couple of looks from Logan Brown to be the first Outlaw Mini Mods feature winner in Boone. Brown, Bobby Daniels, Micheal Bryant and Tanner Prehn rounded out the top five.
Brandon Patava started on the pole for the Elmquist Towing IMCA Northern Sport Mods 18 lap feature event and he took full advantage of that. Patava led all 18 laps but was challenged by Dustin Lynch and Cam Reimers several times through out the event. Their was a pair of cautions, first one on lap two when Michael Miller and Brett Vanderheiden get together in turn four and then on lap seven for a driveshaft on the front stretch. Patava went on to take his first win ahead of Lynch, Reimers, twelveth place starter Jake McBirnie and Curtis Veber.
Jason Asbe wrestled the lead away early in the Snap-On Tools IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature from Chad Louk. Asbe looked strong until the caution came out on lap three for Dennis Pittman in turn four and Eric Elliott sitting off the topside of turn three. Asbe got a great restart but the caution came out again on lap five when Anthony Hofbauer came to a stop in turn one. Asbe was determined to not be denied as he held off challenges but the caution came out on lap 12 for Joel Bushore in turn three. Asbe inital held off all challenges until the final caution came out on lap 15 for Cory Tasler in turn four. Asbe had to contend with Tony Cox and Jimmy Gustin on the final restart, when Asbe slid up left the door open Gustin pounced and took the top spot away. Gustin went on to take the feature win. Cox finished second, Louk finished third, thirteenth place starter Scott Hogan was fourth and seventh place starter Kenny Wyman Jr was fifth.
In the Arnold Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature, Sean Dennis led the opening lap but would spin in turn two. When Dennis spun the incident collected a total of nine cars with some kind of damage with the most damage on Mark Hidlebaugh and Laura Curry cars. Jesse Smith inherited the lead which he held on too until a restart after a caution on lap two for Kellie Drury, Kyle Rose and Joe Brenner in turn two. Rod Richards got a great restart after avoiding those incidents to take over the lead but the caution came out again two more times. On lap five, Kevin Opheim and Joe Hofbauer was sitting in turn two. On Lap nine, Robert Stofer and Scott Davis in turn four. Richards led the remaining laps to take the feature win. Andrew Burg finished second ahead of third place finisher Josh Daniels. Wayne Gifford and Brock Badger was fourth and fifth respectively.
Miciah Hidlebaugh jumped out to the early lead in the Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature event and looked to be getting his first win in Boone. The only caution came out on lap nine for James Johnson in turn three after contact made by Mike Smith. Hidlebaugh again looked like it was going to happend but Shaun Wirtz snatched the lead away on lap 13. Wirtz went on to take the win with Hidlebaugh having to settle once again in the runner up spot. Daniel Smith, Aaron Rudolph and Matt McDonald round out the top five.
Final feature of the night was the 2 Person Cruisers. Donny Mason and Carl Agan lead all eight laps to take the win. Kody Harrelson and Jessica Lyon finished second. Laura Boal and Camilla Hamilton was third, Whitney Johnson and Colin Askelsen was fourth.
