Michehl Wins Flaws Memorial, Glover Wins Super Late Model Summer Series #1 at Hamilton County

Since Independence cancelled the races on Saturday after talking with drivers, fans, employee's because of the forecast of rain and cold temperatures to continue to linger the decision was made to cancel so that meant I had a free Saturday night to go racing. Options was back to Boone Speedway or Warren County Speedway or go somewhere new this season, Hamilton County Speedway or Keokuk County Fairgrounds in What Cheer for racing. Well at 2:30pm, the decision was make the trip up to the historic half mile in Webster City.

Karl Chevrolet Buick GMC Hamilton County Speedway officials moved the start time up because of the much cooler May temperatures and it out to be a smart decision. It was also the 2nd Annual Flaws Memorial Race, this is the second year of honoring Bob Flaws and the first year of honoring Dean Flaws. The Night also brought the first of the Super Late Model Summer Series presented by Jerry Goebel State Farm and the first visit of the season by the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks. 

The race track was a nice fast and slick track that saw One hundred-two cars sign in the back game including 22 Seneca Foundry USRA Stock Cars, 15 Super Late Models, 15 Stein Heating & Cooling USRA B-Mods, fourteen A1 Auto USRA Tuners, 13 Diamond in the Rough USRA Hobby Stocks, twelve Olsen Family USRA Modifieds and eleven Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks. Final checkered flag was displayed at 9:50p.

First feature of the night was the A1 Auto USRA Tuners 12 lap feature event. Fourth place Oliver Monson grabbed the race lead on lap one just before the caution came out for Alex Hayes and Gerald Ford on the front stretch. Monson continued to lead fending off Trent Reed, Jade Lange and Chris Wilson until lap eight when Reed made the move and took the top spot away when Monson started to have mechanical issues. The caution came out again on lap nine for Chris Eddington in turn two. Reed held off Monson on the restart before Monson exited pit side. Reed went on to take the feature win ahead of Jade Lange, Tayla Lange, Ryan Sams and Wilson. 

Before a single lap was completed in the Diamond in the Rough USRA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature event, the caution came out for Daniel Ayers in turn two after contact from  Austin Hoeft. Dustin Gulbrandson jumped out to the race lead on the restart and after fending off challenges from Bryce Sommerfeld got a little separation before the caution came out on lap eight when Nathan Parkhill spun in turn two. Gulbrandson now had to contend with Riley Crimmins and Scott Dobel on the restart and before they could make it back to the start finish line to complete another lap the caution came out when Riley Crimmins spun in turns three and four. Gulbrandson held off Dobel and tenth place starter Jeremy Crimmins on the final restart to take the feature win. Dobel finished second, Jeremy Crimmins was third, Brandon Nielsen was fourth and Roger Haupt was fifth.

Karl Chevrolet Dirt Truck Series 18 lap feature event was next on to the speedway. Bill Davis Jr out wrestled Rick Clark for the race lead early, "Peanut" Dennis Plain grabbed second early from Clark as well. Davis Jr got several challenges from Plain before the caution came out on lap four when Justin Schroeder spun in turn two. Davis Jr fend off Plain and Clark on the restart again but tenth place starter Shawn Cooney worked his way up to take second on lap six and then set his sights on challenging for the race lead. Cooney attempts failed as Davis fend them off and on lap eleven, Cooney clipped an infield tire forcing him to slow down in turn one bringing out the caution. Two more cautions came out on lap 15 for Plain in turn two and then Shaun Clinger in turn two on lap seventeen, that one first a green-white-checkered 2 lap dash. Davis Jr continued to lead through those cautions and held on to lead all the laps to be the third different Dirt Truck feature winner this season. Clark finished second, Jeff Johnson finished third after having mechanical issues in the heat race. Schroeder, Plain and Shonn Mapes round out the top five. 

In the Stein Heating & Cooling USRA B-Mods 16 lap feature event, it was hometown driver Ty Griffith grabbing the race lead early. Griffith fended off challenges from Brandon Toftee and Jason Bass early. The caution came out on lap three for Clayton Bohner in turn three. Griffith got a great restart but the caution came out again after lap four was scored when Mitch Frakes spun in turn one after incidental contact from Hunter Longnecker. Shaun Slaughter spun in turn two on the restart resulting in the caution to come out again. Griffith fended off Bass and Tyler Inman on the restart but the caution came out one more time on lap six when Bohner got into the wall in turn one and two. Griffith led the remaining laps to take the feature win ahead of Bass, Inman, Longnecker and Greg Elliott. 

Devon Havlik and Kyle Brown led the field to green in the Olsen Family USRA Modifieds 15 lap feature event. Brown grabbed the lead early after fending off Josh Angst and Lance Mari early, Brown started to pull away and never look back in the feature going caution free. Brown took the feature win. Mari finished second, Havlik was third, Angst came home fourth and Dylan Thornton was fifth. 

Up next was the Seneca Foundry USRA Stock Cars 25 lap feature in memory of Bob and Dean Flaws. Fort Dodge's Myles Michehl grabbed the lead early holding off Cody Nielsen. The caution came out on lap two when Todd Reitzler spun in turn three. Michehl held of Nielsen and Reid Keller on the restart. Another caution on lap eight for Todd Staley in turn two. Michehl continued to look strong out front, three more cautions came out on lap thirteen, seventeen and eighteen. Michehl was not to be denied as he went on to take his third feature win of the season in Webster City. Fourteenth place starter Pat Graham worked his way to a runner-up finish. Nielsen fell back to third, Heath Tulp was fourth and Mark Elliott was fifth.

Final feature of the night was the 20 lap Super Late Model Summer Series presented by Jerry Goebel State Farm event. Curtis Glover outduel outside front row starter Luke Goedert for the race lead. Glover fend off Goedert and Jason Hahne before pulling away for a short time. Hahne managed to get by Goedert and chased Glover back down.  Hahne challenged Glover for the race lead but couldn't get by as Glover hung on to take the feature win in the first of five nights of the Super Late Model Summer Series presented by Jerry Goebel State Farm. Remaining nights are June 11th, July 23rd, August 6th and August 27th for the Bill Rice Memorial. Goedert, Hahne, Josh Leonard and Jeff Tharp rounded out the top five.

Murty, Reynolds and Kilwine Among Winners on Midwest Liquid System Night at the Marshalltown Speedway

 For the second time this week, racing action took to the high banked 1/4 mile Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway. It was a chilly spring night which started out cloudy but the sun peeked out just in time to see a beautiful sunset as the racing action was getting heated on the track. They went two, three and four wide through out the night with even some nearly making mistakes on a thin cushion. 

It was Midwest Liquid System Night at the races and One hundred-two cars signed in including sixteen Outlaw Mini Mods powered by Drury Automotive and Truck Repair. IMCA Hobby Stocks had the most with twenty-five cars then IMCA Sport Mods with 17 entries, IMCA Stock Cars and IMCA Modifieds each at 15 entries and IMCA Mod Lites had 12 entries. The heats started right at 7:30p, Features took to the track at 8:34p and the final checkered flag waived at 10:02p.

First feature of the night was the 15 lap IMCA STARS Mod Lites feature event. Ben George led opening lap before Austin Gray took the top spot away on lap two. Gray continued to lead until seventh place starter Joel Huggins worked his way through the field to take the top spot away on lap five. Huggins led until lap eight when Randy Bryan took it away. Bryan started to pull away from Huggins and Gray until the only caution came out on lap 12 for Michael Mann in turn two. Bryan held on to win, Huggins finished second meaning after two races they are tied in points heading into next week. Gray finished third, Dustin Ford was fourth and George was fifth. 

Next on to the speedway was the Outlaw Mini Mod Series powered by Drury Automotive and Truck Repair for their 12 lap feature event. Michael Bryant from Mason City led the first lap before Britt's Ben Kraus took the top spot away on lap two. Normally when Kraus takes the lead it means their is a race for second but not tonight as Glenville, Minnesota's Nathan Kilwine worked his way from eighth to the race lead on lap five. The caution came out on lap eight when Kaden Rice spun in turn two. Kilwine got a great restart fending off Kraus, Bryant and ninth place starter Kamdyn Haggard on the restart. Kilwine took the win ahead of Kraus, Haggard, Bryant and Dalton Faber. This was the first of three races this week as they race Boone on Saturday and their normal weekly track Stuart on Sunday.

Before a single lap was scored in the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods 20 lap feature event, the caution came out twice. First time was for Charlie Stevens and Curt Smeins in turn two and on the restart, Aiden Webb in turn one. Vern Jackson wrestled the lead from Travis Peterson when the race finally got started and he led until the caution came out again on lap three when Jessiah Taylor spun in turn two. Kyle Olson took the race lead away on the restart just before another pair of cautions on lap four. Olson continued to lead even through one more race caution on lap seven to go on an take the win. Kaylin Lopez was second, Jenae Gustin was third, Travis Peterson was fourth and Sam Wieben was fifth.

Austin Mehmen and Sam West led the field to the green in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks 20 lap feature event but both spun in turn two forcing the caution to come out resulting in Mark Hidlebaugh and Eric Stanton to inherit the front row on the restart. Eric Stanton grabbed the race lead until John Watson made the move to take the lead away on lap three. Stanton did not go away as he grabbed the lead back on lap five when Watson slipped up, Eric Knutson also got by Watson for second. Stanton and Knutson ran first and second, Seth Butler entered the mix for the top spot as Watson exited pit side. Knutson took the race lead away on lap 12 from Stanton. The caution came out again on lap 17 for Hidlebaugh in turn two and then on the restart for Kaitlyn Schuring in turn two. Knutson held off Stanton and Butler on the restart, only to see the caution come out the final time on lap 18 when Briar Kriegel spun in turn two. Knutson went on to take the feature win, Stanton finished second. Butler, Bradly Graham and William Klosterman round out the top five. 

Taylor Kuehl led the first two laps of the Drury Automotive and Truck Repair IMCA Stock Cars 20 lap feature event before sixth place starter Kaden Reynolds took the race lead on lap three. Reynold began to pull away as tenth place starter Dylan Thornton worked his way by Jeff Wollam and Kuehl for second on lap four.

O'Neal, Berry and Hollatz Claims Castrol FloRacing Night in America Wins in Motown

Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway saw the return of Super Late Models for the first time by a national touring series since the World of Outlaws Late Models Firecracker Jamboree on June 30th 1989. Yes the speedway has hosted other Super Late Model Series races at Marshalltown since then but I would consider them regional series (Corn Belt Clash, Hoker Trucking SLMR East Series, Malvern Bank SLMR West Series) since most of their races was or are in Iowa or near the Iowa border much like the old IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series. 

Past Super Late Model Series Races at Marshalltown: 
USAC Late Models : 1987 (July 3rd) - Billy Moyer ; 1988 (July 1st) - Larry Phillips.
World of Outlaw Late Models : 1989 (June 30) - Billy Moyer.
Corn Belt Clash : 2013 (August 13) - Jason Utter.
SLMR Late Models : 2019 Malvern Bank West (Tyler Bruening); 2021 Hoker Trucking East (Jeff Aikey). 

Wednesday's Castrol FloRacing Night in America was a year in the making as Marshalltown was scheduled to be a part of the inaugural season last year on May 19th, 2021 however mother nature won that race that could not be rescheduled. So all the excitement was set to make sure Marshalltown was on the schedule of 2022 and on Wednesday night that arrived.

Super Late Models was $22,022 to win / $1,000 to start. Tire Demon by Love Tap IMCA Modifieds race for $1,000 to win along with being a Fast Shaft All-Star Invitational Qualifier, $750 to win for the Drury Automotive & Truck Repair IMCA Stock Cars. It was also a B&B Chassis All-Star Invitational Qualifier.

A Beautiful night that saw seventy-six cars in three classes from eighteen different states including 29 Castrol FloRacing Night in America Super Late Models. Tire Demon by Love Tap IMCA Modifieds saw twenty-four entries and Drury Automotive & Repair IMCA Stock Cars had 23 entries. There was fantastic racing all night long on a track that produced multiple lanes from the bottom to the top leaving only a razor-thin cushion. Final checkered flag waved at 10:25pm.

First feature of the night was the Castrol FloRacing Night in America Super Late Model 50 lap event. "The Reaper" Ryan Gustin from Marshalltown out wrestled the race lead from pole sitter Mike Marlar from Winfield, Tennessee. The caution came out shortly after lap one was scored when Chad Simpson spun in turn two and unfortunately Spencer Diercks had no where to go and made contact, both exited to the pits. Gustin continued to lead fending off Hudson O'Neal and Marlar on the restart.

Just as Gustin was getting a little separation the red flag came out as the field began lap nine, when Ricky Thornton Jr slide off the top of turn two resulting in a slow roll over on his roof. Thornton climbed from the car uninjured. Gustin again fended off O'Neal and Marlar on the restart, beginning to pull away. As Gustin was catching lap traffic, O'Neal reeled him and on lap 30, O'Neal pulled a clean slide job in turn three to take over the race lead, Gustin try to return it but could not grab the lead back. O'Neal nearly slipped up on the cushion in turn two allowing Gustin to race side-by-side down the backstretch.

O'Neal led the remaining laps to take the win ahead of FloRacing Night in America Late Model Points Leader Brandon Sheppard, who started seventh. Marlar fell back to finish third, Gustin slip back to fourth and sixteenth place starter "Turbo" Tyler Erb came home fifth. Sixth through tenth saw Tim McCreadie, Garrett Alberson, Chris Simpson, Bobby Pierce and Billy Moyer Jr. Quick Time was 13.758 by Marlar. Heat Winners was Marlar, Gustin and O'Neal. B-Feature winner was Devin Moran. 

The Drury Automotive and Truck Repair IMCA Stock Cars 20 lap feature, a B&B Chassis All-Star Invitational Qualifier was next on the speedway. David Atcher led the first two laps before Chanse Hollatz took the race lead away on lap three. Hollatz was followed by Kaden Reynolds and eighth place starter Dallon Murty. Hollatz continued to pace the way until the caution came out on lap nine when Andrea McCain spun in turn two. Hollatz fended off Reynolds and Murty on the restart and held them off to claim the win. Reynolds, Murty, Jeff Mueller and Jeff Wollam rounded out the top five. 

Tire Demon by Love Tap IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature was the third and final feature of the night. "G-Money" Richie Gustin Jr grabbed the early race lead fending off Johnathon Logue but shortly after lap one scored the caution came out. The caution was for Ronn Lauritzen, Brandon Leeman, Dylan Thornton, Joe Beal and Ethan Robey in turn two. Gustin fend off Logue and Jake McBirnie and pulled away meanwhile sixth place Tom Berry Jr jumped in two second and set his sights on taking the lead away from Gustin. The caution came out for the second time on lap five when Jacob Murray and Rod Clement spin in turn four. Gustin lead but the caution came out again on lap eight when Mike McKinney got hung up on the edge of turn three and four. Gustin continued to lead until Berry Jr and Cayden Carter made a three car battle for the lead on lap 15. Carter edged them out to lead laps 15 and 16 before Berry Jr took the race lead over. Berry Jr went on to take the  feature win, a Fast Shaft All-star Invitational qualifier. Carter finished second, Gustin came home third, McBirnie was fourth and Tim Ward was fifth.

A beautiful sunny day led for a great night to having some racing and if you open it they will come. One hundred-thirty one race cars signed in for Opening Night. Track Manager Justin Temeyer and crew did a fantastic job with the racing surface and it showed all night, as they went two and three wide racing leaving fans on the edge of their seat with some very exciting and close finishes.
