Ward, Jerovetz, Carter and Smith Take Boone Frostbusters

Saturday Night I decided I would make my first trip to the Boone Speedway for their Annual IMCA Frostbuster event. One hundred and sixty-six cars signed into to tame Iowa's Action Track the Boone Speedway for the first time in 2023. 

First feature of the night was the Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMods 20 lap feature event. Brayton Carter grabbed the top spot earlier after starting second. The first caution came out on lap two when Tommy Tanner and Tom Lathrop got together in turn two. Carter was not fazed by this caution or the one on lap 12. Carter went on to take the victory ahead of last year's winner Taylor Kuehl. Cam Reimers moved up from eleventh to finish third. Adam Armstrong started twelfth and finish fourth meanwhile thirteenth place starter Braden Richards finished fifth. Carter one the double bonus payout of $1,000 for tonight's win. 

Todd Shute led the first lap of the Freisen Performance IMCA Modifieds 25 lap feature. Johnathon Logue took the top spot on lap two and maintained the lead. On lap 12, the caution came out when Ronn Lauritzen came to a stop in turn four. Logue held off Shute and Tim Ward until lap 15 when Ward took the top spot away. Ward pulled away after a second caution on lap 20 when Jeremy Mills stopped in turn four. Ward went on to claim the victory that earn a bonus of $2,000. Shute came home second, Jimmy Gustin was thrid and Jerry Flippo came from fourteenth to finish fourth. Cory Sauerman moved up from fourteenth to finish fifth. 

The IMCA Stock Cars 25 lap feature event was up next on the speedway, this feature saw a total of six cautions slow the pace of the race down. Josh Daniels led the first 12 laps of the race before twelfth place starter Troy Jerovetz worked his way through the field to take the top spot away. Jerovetz went on to take the feature and become the third driver to grab the double bonus payout. Daniels finished second, Tom Berry Jr came home third, Dan Mackenthun was fourth and Jay Schmidt was fifth.

Final feature of the night was the 20 lap IMCA Hobby Stock feature event and the first caution came out before a single lap was scored, after several cars got together in turn three. Mike Smith started sixth but worked his way to the top spot on lap one. Smith never looked back going on to take the win. Curt Reed, Luke Ramsey, Chad Rigby and John Watson round out the top five.

Next Saturday the IMCA Saturday Night Series begins with IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Northern Sport Mods, IMCA Hobby Stocks and IMCA Mod Lites. Pit Gates Open at 3:30pm, Grandstands Open at 4:30pm, Hot Laps at 5pm, Racing at 6pm. All Weekly races at Boone are also live streamed on IMCA.tv.
