Saturday my afternoon and evening of racing started by announcing the Marshalltown Redneck Races presented by J&M Fabrications at the Central Iowa Fair. It was a race of FWD, FWD Trucks / SUV's and Outlaw Trucks racing on the oval along with having some jumps and chicanes. It was a lot of fun to announce them and yeah the count was a little low but it was still a really good event.
The Marshalltown Redneck Race was made possible by J&M Fabrication, Hogeland Auto Plaza, Local UAW 893, Hoskins Construction, Kramer Fabrication, Construct, Maytag and the Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway. There was also a kids candy dash during the intermission after the heats. Racing started at 3:30p and was completed right around 5p.

WINGED MICRO SPRINTS
We got done in time I message Dallas County Fairgrounds Speedway Promoter Jimmy Keenan that I would be make the trip over for the Dallas County Fair Races so made the little over hour trip over and got to the track just as hot laps was wrapping up after making the long walk from the car and got my pass to get in.
There was a great field of cars checked in for the Dallas County Fair Races and the battles on the track proved it was going to be a great night of racing. There was event Fireworks after the races was over, I did not stick around though for those as the final checkered flag was displayed at 11:15pm. I made the walk back to my car to start my drive back to Marshalltown after my long day.
First feature of the night was the Winged Micro Sprints 15 lap feature event, Carson Berglund out wrestled Brantley Tjaden for the race lead. Berglund held off the challenged from Tjaden until Tjaden went to the infield because of minor mechanical issues. Berglund led from start to finish to take the feature win. Derrike Clark came home in second, Tim Young in third, Jackson Gray was fourth and Tjaden was fifth.

Derrike Clark came home in second, Tim Young in third, Jackson Gray was fourth and Tjaden was fifth.
Next up was the Open Figure 8 feature event for 15 laps. Casey McKasson was able to lead from start to finish fending off pressure from Dylan McKasson. Casey won, Dylan second, Aubrey McKasson ran third and Joey Grubbs fourth.
Alexandria O'Neill and Rob Jones led the first five laps of the Cruisers feature event before Ethan Thompson and Cody Wirt took the lead on lap six. Thompson and Wirt slipped up allowing Will Aldridge and partner to take over the race race lead on lap nine. Thompson and Wirt regained the lead on lap ten and went on to take the feature win. Aldridge and partner finished runner-up, Cameron and Autumn Van Wyk was third, Dylan McKasson and Braden McKasson finished fourth and Chris and Shelbie Mitchell was fifth.
The Hobby Stocks feature event was up next and it was Travis Fenton jumping out to the race lead. Fenton fended off early pressure from Mike Eddinger before pulling away only to see Leonard Loftus reel him down to apply pressure. Loftus and Joey Young would make contact with each other however both cars would get moving before the caution came out when David Castellano was sitting in turn one. Fenton held off Loftus and Young again on the restart and those two would get together on lap 13 in turn four forcing Loftus to go to the tail. This is where it gets interesting as the drivers was told on the radio it will be 1 to go at the flag stand next time by but instead they went green allowing Young to take the lead and cruising on to take the win. However Young and Fenton, both felt that was not right so they lined them back up to do the final two laps. Eddinger and Kenny Johnson got together on the front stretch (grandstands) on the restart. Fenton led the final two laps to claim the victory, Garrett Croy was able to claim second away from Young. Blake McCann and JR Croy rounded out the top five.
Joey Young led all fifteen laps of the Stock Figure 8 feature event. Chris Mitchell came home second, Joey Grubbs was third, JR Tarter was fourth and Seth Parker in fifth.
Redemption was the key in the Wingless Micro Sprints 15 lap feature event as "The Bullet" Brantley Tjaden jumped out to the race lead. Tjaden fended off challenges from Carson Berglund, before Berglund spun. Tjaden went on to take the feature win. Jackson Gray finished second, Berglund spun but managed to finish third, Derrike Clark was fourth and Tim Young was fifth.
In the Junior Front Wheel Drive feature event, Gabriel Hoover led from start to finish to take the feature win in his final year of the Junior class. Carter Cleghorn, Wyatt Routh, Julia Langille and Hailie Haynes rounded out the top five.
Final feature of the night was the Front Wheel Drive 15 lap feature event and the caution came out twice before a single lap was scored. Daniel Clayton was able to jump out to the race lead and he managed to lead the first three laps. Michael Gardner Jr worked his way from sixth to steal the lead away on lap four, Gardner then pulled away. A caution came out on lap nine for debris but Gardner was not going to be denied the victory. Clayton, Logan Stevens, Alex Fickbohm and Matthew Howard was second through fifth.
