When this event was placed on the schedule a year ago, the plan was to attend at least one night if not both nights well the COVID pandemic hit and cancelled just about every racing event possible. So the Inaugural Hawkeye 100 race for the Morton Buildings World of Outlaws Late Models at Iowa's Action Track had to wait until 2021.
The wait was over as the 24 Late Models took to the quarter mile race on Friday Night for not one 25 lap feature events but 2 features called the Twin Hawks. The first feature was lined up based on qualifying and the 2nd race was invert based on the number drawn by the winner of race one. Also race one was dubbed as being awarded World of Outlaw Points, the 2nd would not but race points would be used to determine the heat races on Saturday.
Also racing was the D&E Outdoor Services IMCA Modifieds, Arnold Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars and Elmquist Towing IMCA Sport Mods. Four Heats, 1 B-Feature in Stock Cars and Sport Mods, 2 B-Features in the Modifieds. All three feature events would be 20 laps.
First feature of the night was the 1st Twin Hawk 25 lap feature for the Morton Buildings World of Outlaws Late Models. "Mr. Smooth" Billy Moyer and Points Leader "B-Shep" Brandon Sheppard led the field to the green flag. Sheppard grabbed the early lead but the caution came out on lap two when Brent Larson spun on the front stretch. "Thriller" Cade Dillard got by Moyer for second on the restart and followed Sheppard. Sheppard continued to lead until lap traffic starting slowing him down allowing Dillard to make the move. Dillard took over the race lead on lap 19 and added a little separation between him and Sheppard. Dillard took the win in Twin Hawk No. 1 over Sheppard, Moyer, Chris "Smoky" Madden and "Smooth Operator" Bobby Pierce.
Elmquist Towing IMCA Sport Mods 20 lap feature was next up on the race track, Austin Price and Dusty Masolini led the field to green flag. Masolini took the top spot early however the caution came out on lap three when Tyler Titus spun in turns three and four, Josh Most spun in turn one. Masolini had to battle with Colby Fett on the restart but the caution again came out after another lap was scored when Most and Blair Simmons got together in turn four. Masolini and Fett swapped the lead on lap five and six before another caution came out when Cam Reimers and Chance Titus in turn four. One more caution came out on lap 13 when Hunter Longnecker and Ryan Leeman get together on the back stretch. Fett gets a great restart and goes on to take the feature win ahead of Cory Pestotnik, Garrett Nelson, Masolini and Troy Bauer.
Up next was the 2nd Twin Hawk 25 lap feature for the Morton Buildings World of Outlaws Late Models. Shannon Babb and Logan Martin led the field to the green after Dillard drew a 12 meaning the top 12 from race one was inverted. Martin lead the first three laps before the caution was displayed when Daniel Hilsabeck spun off the top of turn two. Babb wrestled the lead away on the restart but the caution came out again after the 4th circuit was completed when Chris Madden, Chase Junghans and Jeremy Grady spun in turn four. Babb was followed by Frank Heckenast Jr but hung on to the race lead until the caution came out on lap 21. The first caution was for Grady slowing in turn four and then on the restart for Brent Larson spinning in turn one. Babb held off Heckenast to take the race win. Tyler Bruening finished third, Spencer Diercks was fourth and Martin fell back to fifth.
After a quick farming session because the race track rubbed up, it was time for the D&E Outdoor Services IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature event. Andy Tiernan and Kelly Shryock started on the front row and it was Shryock taking the early race lead. Shryock was challenged several times by Todd Shute. Shute took the race lead on lap seven just before a caution when Chris Snyder spun in turn four. Shute initial held off Shryock and then Kyle Brown until the caution came out on lap 16 for Kelsie Foley in turn four. Shute appeared to be heading on to take the win but Kyle Brown wrestled the race lead away on lap 17 and two laps later the caution came out when Shute spun in the back stretch forcing a green-white-checkered finish. Brown held off Shryock and Cody Thompson to take the feature win. Lucas Lamberies and Jake McBirnie was fourth and fifth respectively.
Final feature of the night was the Arnold Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars 20 lap feature event. Anthony Goldsberry wrestled the lead away from his father Mike Goldsberry and fend off challenges from Donavon and Devin Smith. Anthony Goldsberry led until coming to the halfway point when he spun in turn four. Mike Goldsberry inherited the lead but had to fend off the Smith Brothers. The caution came out on lap 11 for Tobie Talk, Abe Huls and Chris Toot in turn one. Goldsberry looked like he was going to take the win however Devin Smith made a move as did brother Donavon Smith. Donavon Smith won the race by .085 seconds over Devin Smith. Devin Smith finished second by .192 seconds over Mike Goldsberry. Randy Brands finished a close fourth and Kyle Brown was fifth.
Final Checkered flag was displayed by Boone Speedway Chief Starter Logan Kelly at 11:43pm meaning after an hour drive back to Marshalltown, I got home right around 12:45am but it was a lot of fun and if you didn't make plans to go some where else go to Boone for Night two on Saturday.
