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. Aaron Martin was the hard charger moving up eight spots to finish sixth.
