Johnson, Simpson and Mather Among Winners in Indee

Friday Night instead of making the trip to the Brooklyn Raceway to assist with scoring duties and that was so much fun but it kept me from taking pictures or notes to write a blog recap from Night 1 of the 4th Annual Sharon Jaennette Memorial / Brooklyn Spring Nationals. Saturday Night it was off to the Independence Motor Speedway for weekly announcing duties.

It was a Chilly April night at the Independence Motor Speedway but that did not stop one hundred and sixteen cars from checking in to tame the 3/8 mile dirt track at the Buchanan County Fairgrounds for night two of track points. As typical happens in the early racing season the race track has its on character of element. Final checkered flag was displayed at 9:47 pm.

Extra Money was put on the line in the IMCA Modifieds as they were $1,000 to win. Steven Nabholz added $500 (split between Top 5) and Dan Smock Detailing added $100 to the winner making it $1,200 to win. Huntley and Sons Trucking add $100 hard charger for the Modifieds. 

First feature of the night was the 16 lap Burco Sales IMCA Northern Sport Mod feature event. Kyle Olson grabbed the top spot early from getting by pole sitter Brett Thomas. Kyle Olson held off cousin Tony Olson until the only race caution came out on lap nine. The caution was for Steve Wimer spinning in turn four. Tony Olson got a great restart and got by Kyle Olson to take over the top spot. Tony Olson went on to take the feature win, Kyle Olson finished second.

Mather fended off challenges from Tom Schmitt before able to pull away to take the feature win. Tom Schmitt finished second, Last week's winner Jay Schmidt finished third. Hocken fell back to fourth and Dustin Vis moved up five spots to finish fifth. 

Chris Simpson took full advantage of starting on the pole in the Performance Bodies IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature event by taking the early race lead. Simpson held off Jordan Hicks until the caution came out on lap three when Bret Ramsey spun in turn four after contact from Mike Burbridge. Simpson was determined to not be denied as the race was slowed again on lap seven when Patrick Flannagan spun in turn four. Another caution came out on lap nine when Kelly Shryock was spun by Ronn Lauritzen in turn four, Shryock was initial going to be penalized but Laurtizen stopped told officials to give Shryock his spot back and he would go to the tail for causing the caution. 

The race was slowed two more times, lap 12 when Brady Kohrs went off the top of the race track and then on lap 17 when Hicks spun in turn two. Simpson held off the Spencer Diercks and Troy Cordes to take the $1,200 to win feature. Diercks, Cordes, Shryock and Brennen Chipp rounded out the top five. Shryock took home the $100 hard charger award from Huntley and Sons Trucking after moving up 15 spots. 

Up next was the Waterloo Auto Parts Sport Compacts 12 lap feature event. Cristian Grady wrestled the early race lead from fellow front row starter Jacob Morris, Grady was followed by Lukas Rick. The first caution came out on lap two when Steve Knight and Jeremy Wheeler get together on the front stretch. Grady held off Rick and Morris on the restart and appeared to be heading on to the easy win until a caution came out again on lap eight when Rick lost a right rear wheel sending him off the top side of turn one and two. Grady held off Morris and last week's winner Zeke Wheeler to take the feature win. Zeke Wheeler, Logan Clausen, Morris and David Balik finished second through fifth.

Kolton Osborn led the first two laps of the Waterloo Auto Parts Indee Cars 12 lap feature before Reggie Rema took the top spot away on lap three. Rema was followed by team car Chad Dugan getting by Osborn on lap four. The caution came out on lap eight for Osborn spinning in turn one.  Rema held off Dugan and Yukon, Oklahoma's Korbin Hand on the restart but on lap ten, another caution when Osborn spun again. Dugan got by Rema on the restart and went on to take his second feature win this season in Indee. Rema finished second, Hand was third, Carson James finished fourth and Dave Rossburg was fifth.

First Feature of the night was the Burco Sales IMCA Sport Mods 16 laps feature event. Before a lap was scored the caution came out when Tony Olson spun in turn four stacking up the field.

Two years ago the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Models put on a heck of a show with Bobby Pierce taking the win but last year's event scheduled event was cancelled because of the pandemic so on to 2021 which meant a new winner would add his name to the history books at Stuart. The Lucas Oil MLRA Late Models began their 2021 season on Tuesday at the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Nebraska where Tony Jackson Jr took the win.

Wednesday Night, the MLRA Late Models invade the bullring of the Stuart International Speedway for Night two of the five night season opening swing. The night was sponsored by Karl Chevrolet of Stuart, Race XR, Conrad's Pillow Pets and Choice Inc. Joining the Late Models was VIP Contractors & Karl Chevrolet of Stuart IMCA Modifieds, Affordable Quality Roofing & Exteriors IMCA Stock Cars, Karl Pre-Owned IMCA Sport Mods, Rick's Towing IMCA Hobby Stocks and John's Tree Service IMCA Sport Compacts.

A total of One Hundred and Eighteen cars checked in for a cold and chilly April night. Thirty-One MLRA Late Models, 11 IMCA Modifieds, 23 IMCA Stock Cars, 18 IMCA Sport Mods, 19 IMCA Hobby Stocks and 16 IMCA Sport Compacts. Jesse Stovall claimed the MLRA Late Models meanwhile Brayton Carter (Sport Mods) and Dallon Murty (Stock Cars) repeated their wins from two weeks ago. Shane DeVolder was a first time winner in the Modifieds, Sport Compacts and Hobby Stocks features was cut short and will be made up next week. 

First feature of the night was the 16 lap Karl Pre-Owned IMCA Sport Mod Feature event. Father and Son, Bryan and Mitchell Morris led the field to the green flag with Bryan Morris grabbing the early lead. Shortly after the first lap was scored the caution came out when Jessiah Taylor spun in turn four. Bryan Morris continued to lead until the caution came out again on lap three when James Tarter spun in turn four. Brayton Carter blasted by Bryan Morris and Shane Paris on the restart to take over the race lead. The caution came out shortly after when Paris clipped an implement tire out on the race surface. Carter saw the caution come out two more times on lap seven and nine. The caution on lap seven, Taylor spun in turn four and then on lap nine, Tarter in turn two after making heavy contact with the turn one wall. Carter went on to take the feature win ahead of Brett Vanderheiden, Cam Reimers, Dusty Masolini and Garrett Nelson. 

As soon as the Affordable Quality Roofing & Exteriors IMCA Stock Cars 20 lap feature event started, the caution came out when Miciah Hidlebaugh spun in turn one. Bob Daniels inherited the pole position and took full advantage by jumping out to race lead but Dallon Murty was not far away but couldn't get by right away. Caution on lap five was for a tire in turn two and then the caution on lap six was for Cody Gustoff in turn four. Daniels held off Dallon Murty and his father Damon Murty until the caution came out on lap seventeen for Scott Bailey and Chad Legere in turns three and four. On the restart, Daniels blew up coming back to the green forcing the caution to come out one final time. Dallon Murty held off Buck Schafroth, Damon Murty and hard charging Gettler to take his second win of the season in Stuart. Gettler wrestled second away, Schafroth was third, Michael Sheen was fourth and Damon Murty was fifth. 

Cedar Creek Beef Jerky 40 lap feature for the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Models was up next on the 1/4 mile bullring. Frank Hecknast Jr and Jake Timm started on the front row but it was Jesse Stovall wasted no time as showed his strength by taking the early race lead. Stovall stretch the lead out until the first StopTech Brakes caution came out on lap ten for Blair Nothdurft spinning in turn three. The caution came out came out again on lap 11 when seventh running Billy Moyer Sr spun in turn one. Stovall continued to flex his muscle until lap traffic started getting heavy allowing Heckenast and hard charging Ryan Gustin reeling him in. The final caution came out on lap 27 when Jeff Herzog came to a stop in turn one as the leaders was navigating lap traffic. Stovall running the bottom tried to hold off Gustin, who was using the high side . Gustin pulled a slide job in turn one on lap 31 allowing him to grab the top spot. Gustin and Stovall continued to race side-by-side for multiple laps but Gustin came across the line first for the apparent victory. Gustin was disqualified in post-race tech inspection for top four bar rod was curved, the rule per MLRA rule book is added.

As other cars turned to avoid Portwood, Dusty Champlin hit Portwood in the drivers door forcing the red flag to come out. Portwood was taken to a local hospital and according Iowa Racing News, suffered a sprained ankle and bruised. Champlin was also taken to a local hospital, and according to Iowa Racing News, he said he had a concussion and a sore neck. Kimmel was black flagged for rough driving.

Since it was going to take time for emergency crews time to attend to Portwood and Champlin, the races was called at 10:35pm because of the 11pm curfew fastly approaching. The Sport Compacts and Rick's Towing IMCA Hobby Stocks features will be made up next week as a part of the Jake Durbin Memorial.

Braaksma, Smith, Logue and Knutson Take Boone Speedway Frostbuster Wins

Saturday Night I made the trip to the Boone Speedway for the annual Frostbuster Race and it was warmer than Stuart's on Tuesday Night and Marshalltown Friday Night. It was a very beautiful night for racing what was suppose to be the final night of the Frostbuster before Vinton moved from Wednesday now was night three. 

One Hundred and Seventy Eight cars signed in to compete in the IMCA Frostbuster at Iowa's Action Track including 50 IMCA Stock Cars, 50 IMCA Sport Mods, 46 IMCA Modifieds and 32 IMCA Hobby Stocks. Racing began at 5pm and after 36 races later the final checkered flag flew at 9:35pm. 

No repeat Frostbuster winners on Night 3 of the swing as Ethan Braaksma won in the IMCA Modifieds, Devin Smith won in the IMCA Stock Cars, Johnathon Logue took the Sport Mods and Eric Knutson took the Hobby Stocks.

First feature of the night was the 25 lap feature event for the Elmquist Towing IMCA Sport Mods. Dustin Lynch wrestled the early lead from fellow front row starter Cam Reimers. Lynch held off Reimers and before Johnathon Logue entered the mix. Logue was able to get by Lynch on lap nine for the race lead but Lynch stayed in tow. The only caution was a red flag on lap 14 when Dan Melton rolled several times in turn two. Logue held off Lynch and Reimers on the restart and went on to lead the final 11 laps to take the feature win. Reimers, Lynch, Cole Fenske and Austin Schrage rounded out the top five. Hard Charger of the race was Kenny Wyman Jr, finished tenth but moved up 11 spots.

Jeremy Richey led the first lap of the D&E Outdoor Services IMCA Modifieds 25 lap feature before a caution came out when Nick Meyer spun in turn four. Ethan Braaksma took the race lead away from Richey on lap two and Todd Shute followed suit into second on lap four. Braaksma was only slowed down one more time when the caution came out on lap 17 for Jon Snyder spinning in turn two and debris sitting in turn two. Braaksma held off Shute and Kyle Brown to take the feature win. Shute finished second, Kyle Brown was third, Tim Ward was fourth and Kelly Shryock was fifth. Shryock was the hard charger moving up eight spots.

In the Arnold Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars 25 lap feature event, it was Kyle Brown flexing his muscle getting by Tyler Pickett and Anthony Hofbauer on the start to lead. Brown cruising away before the only race caution came out on lap ten for Alex Crapser spinning in turn three. Brown rode the top side of the speedway while Jeff Mueller was on the bottom side, Brown held off Mueller and then held off the Smith Brothers (Donavon and Devin). Brown crossed the line in first however was disqualified in post race tech inspection for a carburetor issue. Brown stated that the Holley carburetor had a booster issue. Devin Smith was granted the win with Mueller in second. Donavon Smith, Damon Murty and David Smith was third through fifth respectively. Murty was the hard charger after moving up 17 spots from the 21st starting spot.

Final feature of the night was the Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stocks 25 lap feature event with Luke Ramsey taking the early lead. Brett Vanous was trying to take the spot away from Ramsey but Ramsey held tough. Eric Knutson got by Vanous on lap 12 and then began his attempt to get by Ramsey but Ramsey held off until the final lap. Knutson made the move and would be Ramsey to the finish line to take the IMCA Frostbuster in Boone. Ramsey finished second ahead of Vanous, Solomon Bennett and Wayne Gifford.
