Olson Pockets a Thousand on BHE Night at The Races

It may have been my birthday but that did not mean I was going to avoid a night at the races in fact in my opinion there was no better way to spent my birthday was at the races. The racing surface produced exciting racing all night long with drivers all over. 

One hundred-sixteen cars signed in to tame the high banked quarter mile on BHE Night at the Races including 27 Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods for a $1,000 prize. Final checkered flag was displayed at 10:30pm. 

First feature of the night was the IMCA STARS Mod Lites 15 lap feature event. Ben George led the first lap before Randy Bryan took the top spot away on lap two. Bryan led until Jason Masengarb grabbed the top spot away in lap seven. Masengarb led the rest of the way to claim the victory. Bryan, Jacob Copley, Josh May and Joel Huggins round out the top five. 

Tony Olson jumped out to the early lead in the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods 20 lap feature event fending off Kyle Olson and Kaylin Lopez. The caution came out on lap two when Curt Smeins slowed in turn four. Tony Olson was not letting that faze him as he got a great restart and pulled away only to see the caution come out on lap nine when Curtis VanDerWal spun in turn two with help from Logan Anderson. A red flag came out on lap ten when Taylor Kuehl rolled off the top of turn one after assistance from Anderson. Tony Olson fended off Kyle Olson and Lopez again on the restart but the caution came out again on lap 15 when Sam Wieben stopped off turn two. Tony Olson was determined to not be denied as he went on to take the feature win. Kyle Olson finished second, Brayton Carter finished third, Jenae Gustin was fourth and Lopez fell back to fifth. 

IMCA Sport Compacts 15 lap feature event was next on to the speedway. John Schuring led the opening lap before Colby Sabin took the top spot away on lap two. Sabin how slipped of the top side of turn three on lap three, that gave the lead over to Tyler Fiebelkorn. Fiebelkorn led until lap eight when Sabin, had worked his way back through the field. Sabin went on to take the feature win ahead of John Gill, Fiebelkorn, Travis Hatch and David Kimmel. 

Kaden Reynolds led the first two laps for the Drury Automotive & Truck Repair IMCA Stock Cars 20 lap feature event before a caution came out. The caution was for Troy Tabor and Kylie Rawlins in turn two. Dallon Murty was able to steal the lead away from Reynolds on the restart. Tabor spun on lap twelve in turn four. Murty held on to take the feature win. Austin Kaplan got by Reynolds to take second, Reynolds was third. Taylor Kuehl in fourth and Steve Meyer in fifth. 

Up next was the Tire Demon by Love Tap IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature. Garrett Wilson grabbed the lead and fended off Cody Laney several times. Wilson looked to be going on to take the feature win but a caution came out on lap fifteen when Andrew Kinser spun in turn three. Laney got a great restart and took over the race lead. Laney took the feature win ahead of Wilson, Tim Ward, Jake McBirnie and Dallon Murty. 

Final feature of the night was the IMCA Hobby Stocks 20 lap feature event. Austin Mehmen led from start to finish with the 3 race cautions the only thing slowing him down. The first caution on lap seven for Danny Foster in turn two. Mehmen pulled away to a commanding leading as the battle for second heated up, Sam West, Corey VanDerWilt, Calvin Dhondt and Eric Knutson went four wide on lap 15. Shortly after the caution came out on lap 15 when Noah Graves and Logan Andrews was sitting in turn four. A lap later on lap 16, the caution came out again when Bradly Graham was spun in turn three by Darin DeZwarte. Mehmen went on to take the win, Knutson finished second, Dhondt was third, West was fourth and VanDerWilt came home fifth.
