Carter, Reynolds, Rust, Bennett and Zemo Take Wins on Minute Man Printing Night

All day long people wondered if the early morning rain would prevent the Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway to get racing action in on Minute Man Printing Night. Track crew was prepared and was able to get to work on getting the racing surface nice and wide.  There was great racing all night long with some drivers having to hang on to capture victories. 

A total of  one hundred-nineteen cars checked in on Friday night to tame the high banked quarter mile on the Central Iowa Fairgrounds in five IMCA Classes. First green flag flew at 7:30p and the final checkered flag came out at 10:15p. Brayton Carter and Joel Rust pick up another win meanwhile Solomon Bennett, Kaden Reynolds and Mike Zemo pick up first win in Motown. 

First feature of the night was the Rugged Radios IMCA Sport Mods 20 lap feature event. Matt Avila led the first lap before Logan Anderson was able to take the top spot away on lap two. The caution came out shortly after though when Logan Anderson spun in turn two, giving the lead back to Avila. Avila fended off Brayton Carter and Travis Peterson off on the restart. The caution came on lap five when Avila spun in turn two. That gave the lead over to Carter and he fought off Jenae Gustin and Kyle Olson on the restart. The caution came out again on lap eight for Jackson Harpole in turn one and then on lap nine for Tom Lathrop in turn one. Carter continued to lead the way and only be slowed one more time for the final caution on lap sixteen. Carter went on to take his third win in Motown, first during a weekly show. Tony Olson grabbed up second, Kyle Olson was third, Anderson came back to finish fourth and Gustin was in fifth. 

Dustin Kroening led the opening lap of the Tire Demon by Love Tap IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature event. Joel Rust worked his way from fifth to race lead getting by Kroening on lap two. Rust was trailed by Todd Shute but remain tough. The cautions came out on lap nine when Creston Williams spun in turn two. Rust held off Shute and Dylan Thornton on the restart only to see the caution come out again on lap 11 when Kroening and Maguire DeJong got hooked together on the back stretch. Rust got a great restart and pulled away until lap traffic got heavy allowing Shute and Thornton to reel him back down. Rust went on to take the feature win, his second of the season in Motown. Shute, Thornton, Ronn Lauritzen and tenth place starter Tripp Gaylord rounded out the top five. 

Before a single lap was scored in the Drury Automotive and Truck Repair IMCA Stock Cars 20 lap feature event, the caution came out when David Brandies spins in turn two and Keegan Wells has his rear end break in turn two. Kaden Reynolds was able to grab the top spot early when then the race finally got started and pulled away. The caution came out again on lap five when Ian Huff spun in turn two. Reynolds once again got a great restart as the battles behind him heated up. Another caution on lap eight for Cole Czarneski, Huff and Kylie Rawlins in turn two. Reynolds held off ninth place starter Troy Jerovetz and eleventh place starterNathan Ballard and looked to be heading to the win but the caution came out again on lap 19 when Dallon Murty, driving a different car, spun out in turn two while running third. Reynolds held off Jerovetz and Ballard on the restart to capture his first win in Motown this season. Jerovetz was second, Ballard in third, tenth place starter Austin Brands in fourth and eighteenth place starter Michael Jaennette.

Up next was the Knight Sanitation IMCA Mod Lites 15 lap feature event. David Bailey led the first lap before the Z-man Mike Zemo Jr was able to take the race lead away. Zemo pulled away and went on to take the feature win in a feature that went green-to-checkered caution free. Joe Glick finished second, Jon Padilla worked his way from ninth to third, Josh May went from tenth to fourth and Alex Eischeid came from eighth to finish fifth. 

Final feature of the night was the Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Hobby Stocks 20 lap feature event. Dustin Filloon held of several challenges until lap thirteen. Solomon "Squishy" Bennett was able to work his way from eleventh to battle with Filloon and taking the lead when Filloon left the door open. Bennett was able to fend off Filloon, Bradly Graham and Eric Knutson to claim his first win of the season in Motown. Graham grabbed second, Filloon fell back to third, tenth place starter Corey VanDerWilt in fourth and thirteenth place starter Eric Knutson came home in fifth.
