The Regular Season ended at Marshalltown Speedway but the 2019 season was not over and as many drivers get prepared for the Speedway Motors IMCA Super Nationals at the Boone Speedway, some swing into Marshalltown for the Safelite Auto Glass Showdown at MoTown.
Fans did not leave disappointed as there was exciting and fantastic racing all night including some of the finishes. IMCA Modifieds ran for $1,000 to win meanwhile IMCA Stock Cars and IMCA Sport Mods were $500 to win. IMCA Hobby Stocks $300 to win were on the card as was the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks and Brooklyn Raceway Cruisers.
First feature of the night was the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks 15 lap feature. Myles Michehl jumped out to the early race lead with Jeff Johnson on his tail the first half of the race. Johnson spun in turn four on lap eight to bring out the only race caution. Michehl was not fazed as he led from start to finish to take the win, this was Michehl 8th win in the trucks and clinched the championship. Jeff Frevert ran second the rest of the way. Johnson worked his way back through to finish third. Bryan Spangler and Del Enos rounded out the top five.
Jeff Ware grabbed the race lead in the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature event passing Blake Henry, Scott Ellis and Aaron Rudolph on lap one to take the lead away. Ware and the field saw the caution came out on lap three for Andy Peck spinning in turn four, Preston Merical made contact as he had no where to go. Ware now had Tyler Ollendieck on his back bumper but held on to the race lead. The caution again came out on lap nine for Brian Stevens and Jeremiah Andrews getting together in turn four. Ware, Ollendieck and Eric Stanton battled it out for the race lead until on lap 11, Ollendieck spins on the front stretch sliding through infield billboards. Ware and Stanton battled for the race lead with Ware holding on until the final set of corners. Ware spun in the turn three but kept going but it allowed Stanton just enough time to take over the lead and the win. Rudolph and Bill Bonnett got by Ware for second and third. Ware finished fourth and Henry was fifth.
Before a single lap was completed in the IMCA Sport Mods 20 lap feature, the caution came out when Dustin Dreesman and Dennis Stewart got together in turn one. Brayton Carter led the first lap before Jenae Gustin took the lead away on lap two. Gustin and Carter battled it out until a caution came out on lap ten for Stewart coming to a stop in turn one. Gustin held off any more challenges from Carter to take the win ahead of Carter, Tyler Soppe, Jason Hall and Nebraska's Brian Osantwoski.
Up next was the Brooklyn Raceway Cruiser Cars 15 lap feature. Austin Schuring / Ray Hill took the early lead but just after a lap was scored the red flag came out when Tristen Larue/Lane Larue went off the top of turn three. Schuring/Hill continued to lead until lap six when suddling their machine lost power allowing Jacob Lehman/Laverne Lehman to take over the top spot. Lehman/Lehman led until lap 11 when Carsen Carpenter / Chad Rigby took the lead away. Carpenter / Rigsby went on to take the win ahad of Lehman/Lehman, Chris Mitchell/Shelbie West, Leroy Kline/Bruce Kline and Zach Leach/Josh Albertson.
The IMCA Stock Cars lived up to their name as the "Class Too Tough Too Tame" in their 20 lap feature event. Todd Reitzler grabbed the early race lead despite Angel Munoz and Wayne Dotson battling behind him. On lap four, Munoz and Dotson got together in turn four sending Munoz around to bring out the caution and Dotson to the tail for questionable driving. Reitzler got a great restart and pulled away and appeared to be heading on to the easy win until the caution came out on lap 16 for Jesse Sobbing coming to a stop on back stretch. On the restart, the red flag came out when Roger Ciesielski went off the top side of turn one. Reitzler knew Elijah Zevenbergen and Damon Murty was on his back bumper and began to battle it out until Murty experienced troubles on lap 18. Murty came to a stop in turn two. Reitzler fended off a pair of haymakers from Zevenbergen to go on to take the win. Zevenbergen finished second ahead of Track Champion Steve Meyer, Jeff Wollam and Curt Hook.
Final feature of the night was the 25 lap IMCA Modifieds feature event. Cayden Carter led the first eight laps before a caution came out for Todd Shute sliding off the top side of turn two. Joel Rust made the right move on the restart and wrestled the lead away from Carter. Rust got a little separation between him Carter as they began to catch heavy lap traffic. The caution came out on lap 23 for Jarrett Franzen and Austin Paul getting together in turn one. Rust was not fazed as we went on to take the win putting him on the 2020 FastShaft All-Star Invitational ballot. Carter, sixteenth place starter Jeff Aikey, Cody Laney and Kelly Shryock rounded out the top five.
