Rain, Rainbow and Racing Filled the Night in Boone

After Independence Motor Speedway cancelled I began to figured out who was still racing and where to go for racing on Saturday. This would be my last race before I head out on a family vacation this week. Boone Speedway confirmed to me they were still ago so I began to make the almost one hour trip over for my first night since the Hawkeye 100 Night one as the weather looked questionable to make the trip to the Warren County Speedway in Indianola for some racing at the time to make a decision. 

As I arrived a light rain shower tried to make a presents but it did not stop Iowa's Action Track from going racing. Hot Laps began and once again another light rain shower. After reworking the track, it was back to business but one more time a light rain shower. Finally after getting the track worked back in it was time for racing, only 16 minutes later than normal. The sunshine even made appearance as did a beautiful rainbow that went over the Speedway.

 
One hundred eighteen cars signed in to compete in the Saturday Racing Series divisions of IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Hobby Stocks and IMCA Mod Lites. Four Sprint Cars was also in the pits to partake in the Hawkeye Challenge, the other divisions also would qualify four cars in the Hawkeye Challenge. Last Checkered waived by Flagman Logan Kelly at 10:55pm.

The Hawkeye Challenge is one unique race as it pits drivers in the five IMCA weekly classes plus four sprint cars with each division having a certain amount of laps based on lap speed. Sprint Cars had to run 25 laps, Modifieds 23 laps, Sport Mods and Mod Lites 22 laps, Stock Cars 21 laps and Hobby Stocks 20 laps. $1,000 to the overall winner and $500 to each class winner. Mike Johnston took the win in the Sprint Car class and crowned the overall winner. Mike Van Genderen took the win in the Modifieds, Mike Goldsberry in the Stock Cars, Johnathon Logue in the Sport Mods, Mike Smith in the Hobby Stocks and Josh May took the Mod Lites.

After a quick farming session, the first Weekly racing series feature was the IMCA STARS Mod Lites 15 lap feature presented by MyRacePass. Bryan Zehm took the lead early and never looked back, Zehm went on to take the easy win, his 2nd of season in Boone. There was a great battle behind him between Josh May, Randy Bryan and Mike Kennedy for place. Finishing behind Zehm was May in second, Kennedy in third after Bryan suddenly exited to the infield. Jon Braathun took fourth and Cody Yaw was fifth.

Tom Lathrop took the early race lead of the 18 lap IMCA Northern SportMod feature presented by Elmquist Towing. Lathrop looked strong and continued to lead through three cautions. First caution was on lap two when Kevin Yearington spun on the front stretch forcing Ryan Leeman and David Hoover to make contact. The second caution was on lap seven when Jessiah Taylor spun in turn two, the last caution came out on lap nine when Zach Hovell and Leeman spun in turn two. Lathrop continued to lead by fending off Ryan King and Camdan Vincent on the restarts. Lathrop led until Johnathon Logue worked his way from twelve to second. Logue made the move coming out of turn two on lap 14. Logue held on the last four laps to take his fourth win in a row and seventh of the season in Boone. Nineth place starter Izac Mallicoat took second, Lathrop drifted back to third, Chris Burke took fourth and Camdan Vincent was fifth.

In the D&E Outdoor Services IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature event, it was Ronnie Hults taking the early lead but just after lap one scored in the books the caution came out when Nick Roberts stopped top side of turn four. Hults continued to lead with the field going 3 and 4 wide behind him for placing. The caution came out on lap seven when Nick Roberts, Rod Clement and Andy Tiernan got together in turn two. On the restart, Hults had to contend with Paul Nagle and Mike Van Genderen. Van Genderen took the race lead on lap eight and despite heavy pressure from Nagle, Van Genderen went on to take his first win of the season in Boone. Cory Sauerman, Nagle, Jeremy Mills and Anthony Hofbauer rounded out the top five.

Polesitter Mike House grabbed the early race lead from fellow front starter Rowdee Van Genderen in the "Class Too Tough To Tame" IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature event presented by Arnold Motor Supply. The first race caution came out on lap four when Devin Smith and Van Genderen got together in turns three and four.

A lap later on lap 12, the caution came out when House spin in turn two, then on restart when Van Genderen and House got together.

Sabin, Cochrun, Knutson, Carter, Murty and McBirnie Take Victories on Old Timers Lounge Night

You definitely know summer is here as the not only does the weather get hot and heavy but the racing action gets very exciting and intense. One Hundred and nineteen cars signed into tame the high banked quarter mile Marshalltown Speedway on Friday Night including 15 IMCA Sport Compacts making their first appearance of the season officially since their last appearance got rained out.

Kolby Sabin, Kaden Cochrun, Eric Knutson and Jake McBirnie make first trip to victory lane meanwhile Brayton Carter and Damon Murty make a return visit to victory lane. First green flag in heat race action when at 7:30p and the final checkered flag was displayed at 10:50p.

First feature of the night was the 12 lap IMCA Sport Compacts feature event. Lewie Winkleman led first three laps before John Gill took the race lead on lap four. Gill's lead was short lived as Dalton Sowers took the top spot away on lap five. Sowers led until the caution came out on lap nine for debris on the back stretch. Kolby Sabin got a great restart and took the lead away from Sowers on the restart to go on and take the feature win. Sowers came across the line in second but was disqualified in post race tech for illegal manifold, that moved up Gill to the runner-up spot. Mark Smith finished third, Max Heimbuch was fourth and Chad Larson was fifth.

Kaden Cochrun grabbed the race lead early in the IMCA Stars Mod Lites 15 lap feature event fending off challenges from Joe Glick. The first caution came out on lap three when Cory Sonner and Austin Gray spun in turn three. Cochrun got a great restart as did Doug Byers as he passed Glick for second. The caution came out again on lap seven when Blake Brown spun in turn two and one more time on lap eight when Thomas Messamer spun in turn one. Cochrun was not to be denied as held on to take the feature win ahead of Byers, Glick, Sonner and Bryan Zehm.

In the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature, Ben Newhouse led the opening lap before Eric Knutson made the right move to take over the top spot on lap two. However just after a third circuit was completed, the caution came out four times before another lap could be completed. First caution was Dan Brady spinning on the back stretch, second caution was for Newhouse spinning in turn two. Third caution on lap three was for Andy Peck, Mitchell Thomas, Braden Richards, Dalton Weepie and Jamie Coady in turn two. The final caution was for Jeremiah Andrews spinning in turn two. Knutson managed to not let those cautions effect him as he managed to lead the remaining 12 laps to take the feature win. Kaden Reynolds worked his way back after an early race flat tire to finish second. Carter Koop, Solomon Bennett and Luke Schluetter rounded out the top five.

Brayton Carter wrestled the lead away from fellow front starter Brady Hilmer on lap one of the 18 lap IMCA Sport Mod feature. The caution came out shortly after when Kaylin Lopez and Garrett Nelson spun in turn one and then again on the restart when Curt Hilmer spun in turn one. Carter held off Izac Mallicoat on the restart but just after a second lap was scored the caution came out again when Dale Kite spun in turn one. Carter got a great restart and pulled away until catching lap traffic allowing Mallicoat to get close. Carter sliced his way through the lap traffic to take the win. Mallicoat came home second, Johnathon Logue finished third, Austin Schrage was fourth and Jenae Gustin was fifth. 

Up next was the Class Too Tough Too Tame, the IMCA Stock Cars for their 20 lap feature event. Austin Kaplan led the first five laps despite challenges from Jason Hall. Hall finally took the top spot on lap six but a lap later the first caution was displayed when Jeff Byers spun in turn two. Hall had Dallon Murty and Todd Reitzler on his back bumper on the restart. After Reitzler cleared Dallon Murty out of the way he was able to make the move on Hall to take the race lead. The caution came out shortly after for Dallon Murty, who went off the top side of turn three. Reitzler led until the next caution on lap 12 when Scott Rice and Leah Wroten got together in turn four. Damon Murty took the race lead away on the restart and began to pulled away only to see the caution come out on lap 18 for Mitchell Evens spinning in turn two. Murty held off Reitzler on the restart and took then win. The caution came out just as the leaders was coming to the checkered forcing a yellow-checkered when Kaplan and Jeff Wollam spun in turn two. Damon Murty took the win Reitzler was second, Dallon Murty came back to finish third, Steve Meyer was fourth and Dave Atcher was fifth.

Final feature of the night was the IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature event, it went green to checkered caution free. Jake McBirnie ran first the entire distance to take the feature win. Ethan Braaksma tried several times but came up short finishing second. Dylan Thonrton grabbed the third spot with Tim Ward in fourth. Gatlin Leytham came home in the fifth spot.
