This week the plan was to attend the races at the Marshalltown Spedway on Thursday and Friday but mother nature had other plans. Thursday Night was to be the rescheduled 3rd Annual Dale DeFrance Memorial Race but a brief rain shower moved in around 3pm and forced the show to be postponed again until Thursday September 17th which means it will now lead into the World Nationals on September 18th and 19th.
On Friday Night, it was Williamson Repair Night at the Races with the IMCA Modifieds ($1,000 to win) and the IMCA Late Models getting the night off. The race track saw two, three and four wide racing throught out the night. You would have thought there was a full moon, that was last weekend, but four cars took a tumble on the night, all the drivers would climb from their cars under their own power.
One Hundred and Twenty Two cars signed in to tame the high banked 1/4 mile oval of the Marshalltown Speedway. Randy Bryan, Kaden Reynolds, Brayton Carter, Dallon Murty and Joel Rust all took feature wins on the night. Racing action wrapped up with the final checkered flag at 10:48pm. Unoffially the flip count was four last night as Matt Wahl rolled in turn three in Hobby Stock heat 3 after his driveshaft and rear end came out. William Russell rolled in Stock Car heat 1 when he rolled off turn two, the other two were in the Mod Lites feature.
The MADCRA Mod Lites was the first feature of the night for their 15 lap feature event. Before a single lap was completed Mike Morrill made contact with Cody Yaw in turn three, Morrill then rolled several times off the top of turns three and four. Morrill climbed from the car but that ended his night. Tanner Gannon grabbed the lead on lap one but shortly after the caution came out when Byran Compart flipped in turn two before landing back on his wheels. Cory Sonner wrestled the lead away on the restart and led until Randy Bryan worked his way to take the top spot away on lap five. The caution came out again on lap eight when Yaw spun in turn two. Bryan and Jonathan Braathun battled it out for the race lead but Bryan hung on to take his first win in Motown. Braathun finished second, Sonner was third, eleventh place starter Zac Forster finished fourth and Ryan Mills was fifth.

Dylan VanWyk grabbed the early lead in the IMCA Sport Mods 18 lap feature event fending off Izac Mallicoat. VanWyk led until the caution came out on lap five when Jared Dew spun in the middle of turn two. "Speedy Bray" Brayton Carter got a great restart and took the lead away from VanWyk but the caution came out again on lap six when Dew spun in turn four. Carter held off VanWyk and Tony Olson on the restart to take win number one in Motown. VanWyk ran second, tenth place starter Jenae Gustin got by Tony Olson with four to go to grabbed third. Tony Olson was fourth and eleventh place starter Jonathon Logue was fifth.
Before a single lap was completed in the 15 lap IMCA Hobby Stock feature event, the caution came out when Shane Palmer spun exiting turn four and Darin DeZwarte had no where to go making contact. Ray Fees led the first lap before Tom Killen Jr led lap two. Gary Pfantz however grabbed the race lead on lap three and led until twelfth place starter Mike Kincaid took the lead away on lap six. Shortly after the caution came out when Ben Newhouse spun in turn three. Kincaid pulled away until Points Leader Kaden Reynolds worked his way from twenty-fourth. Reynolds made a move but before he was scored the leader the caution came out for Brian Derry in turn two. Kincaid held off Reynolds and Austin Mehmen on the restart and came across the line in first with Mehmen in second and Reynolds in third. However in post race tech inspection, Kincaid and Mehmen both were disqualifed so that handed the win over to Reynolds. Eleventh place starter Solomon Bennett, twentieth place starter Aaron Rudolph, Pfantz and Bill Bonnett rounding out the top five.
In the IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature, it was Leah Wroten grabbing the early race lead fending off several challenges from Dustin Vis. The caution came out on lap two when Dave Atcher spun in turn three with a flat tire after making contact with another race car. Wroten continued to fend off Vis and looked to be heading on to the win until the caution came out on lap 13. The caution came for Austin Gray in turn two. On the restart, IMCA National Points Leader Dallon Murty made move and took over the race lead from Wroten. Dallon Murty went on to take his first win in Motown this season. Dustin Vis finished second, Todd Reitzler was third, Wroten fell back to fourth and Damon Murty was fifth. Jeff Wollam charged the most cars as he started eigteenth and finished sixth.
Final feature of the night was the 25 lap IMCA Modifieds feature, Josh Gilman jumped out to the early lead but Tim Ward took the lead away on lap four. The caution came out on lap five when Paul Nagle and Cayden Carter got together in turn four. Ward held off Jared Van Deest and Gilman on the restart. The caution came out again on lap ten for debris on the back stretch. Ward did not seem to be fazed however just after the completion of lap 11, the caution came out for debris in turn four and then again on the restart when infield tire was ripped out of the ground. Ward led until lap sixteen when Joel Rust made his way from twelfth to take over the race lead. Rust went on to take the win. Ward, seventeenth place starter Tom Berry, Kollin Hibdon and twenty-second place starter Ethan Braaksma rounded out the top five.
