Once again Mother nature gave the Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway a picture perfect night for racing on the high banks for Midwest Liquid Systems Night at the Creek. Ninety-Four cars in five IMCA classes including 22 Tire Demon by Love Tap IMCA Modifieds for $1,000 to win. The car was over a hundred after you add in the cruisers which saw eight sign in.
They went two, three and some times four wide through the night on a very racy race track. The racing action wrapped up at 10:05p.
First feature of the night was the Rugged Radios IMCA Sport Mods 20 lap feature event. Duane Peterson jumped to the early race lead and held on to it until a caution on lap three when Ryan King and Taylor Bass in turn one. Jenae Gustin was able to take the top spot away on the restart with Brady Hilmer into second. The caution came out again when King in turn two. Gustin held off Hilmer, Sam Wieben and Travis Peterson on the restart. Gustin looked to be going on to take the win despite pressure but Duane Peterson blew up in turn three making hard to see along with it being slick from the oil forcing a green-white-checkered finish. Gustin held strong and went on to take the feature win ahead of Wieben, Kyle Olson, Travis Peterson and Tony Olson.
Scott Bailey led the first four laps of the Knight Sanitation IMCA Mod Lites 15 lap feature event. Josh May worked his way from ninth to third and was able to make the move and get by Bailey and Cory Sonner for the top spot. May looked to be cruising away but Jon Padilla, worked his way into second on lap seven and chased down May. The caution came out on lap 12 when Padilla spun in turn two. May got a great restart and held off Jason Masengarb to take the feature win. Masengarb finished second, Sonner was third, Mike Zemo Jr was fourth and Randy Bryan was fifth.
Next up was the Tire Demon by Love Tap IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature event and it was Jake McBirnie wrestling the lead from pole sitter Chase Weimer early. McBirnie had to fend off Johnathon Logue and Maguire DeJong. The caution came out on lap four when Jason Morehouse in turn two. McBirnie remained strong but the caution came out again on lap six when Logue spun in turn four. McBirnie held off DeJong and Joel Rust the rest of the way to capture the $1,000 to win feature. Rust came home in second ahead of DeJong, Tripp Gaylord and Paul Nagle.
Garrett Corn led the first two laps of the Drury Automotive and Truck Repair IMCA Stock Cars 20 lap feature event. Michael Jaennette was able to grab the top spot away on lap three and started to pull away as the battle behind him started heating up. Austin Kaplan worked his way to second and then set his sights on reeling in Jaennette for the race lead. Kaplan did exactly and was able to get by Jaennette when he slipped up leaving the door open. Kaplan went on to claim the victory. Jaennette finished second, Steve Meyer was third, Scott Rice was fourth and Jeff Wollam was fifth.
Briar Kriegel, borrowing Bradly Graham's hot rod led the first lap of the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Hobby Stocks feature event. The caution came out shortly after for debris in turn one. Kriegel led until Eric Knutson finally found his away by Kriegel, shortly after he slipped up. Knutson was followed by Jake Nelson, Dustin Filloon and Calvin Dhondt. Knutson was pressured several times by Filloon but held on until a pair of cautions on lap 11, first for debris and then on the restart for Zach McNeese in turn two. Knutson held off Filloon and Dhondt until the white flag lap. Dhondt led the final lap to take the feature win. Knutson finished second, Filloon in third, Corey VanDerWilt came home with a strong fourth place finish and Sam West was fifth.
Final feature of the night was the Outlaw 2 Man Cruisers fifteen lap feature. Corey VanDerWilt and Brett Maasdam led the entire way and going on to take the feature win. The only caution came out when Andrew Hoeger and Dan Vorwold spun in turn two on lap six. Kerry Davis and Corey Davis finished second. Jerome and Preston Kline was third, Hoeger and Vorwold came back to finish fourth. Ray Hill / Austin Schuring rounded out the top five.
