Friday Night the Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway roared to life wit the H&H Tiling, Dozing & Excavating IMCA Frostbuster 505 Specatcular. The weather may have been a little on the chilly side but then again that is expected since its early April but the racing action was heated all night long, as fans put on more layers.

A total of two hundred and twelve cars signed in to tame the high banked quarter mile dirt oval located on the Central Iowa Fairgrounds and the cars and pits was all the way back out to Olive street that is how full the pits was last night. Racing action was fantastic and they were racing two, three and four wide through out the night. Final Checkered flag was waived at 12:34am.
First feature of the night was the "Class Too Tough Too Tame" Drury Automotive & Truck Repair IMCA Stock Cars 30 lap feature event. A total of 45 entries was dwindled down to 24 for the feature. "Jammin'" Jimmy Gustin grabbed the race lead on the start from the outside front row. On lap four, "The Chelsea Charger" Damon Murty took over the top spot away and never looked back leading the remaining laps to claim the victory in the only feature that went green-to-checkered. Dallon Murty worked his way from tenth to finish second. Gustin was third, Kelly Shryock came home in fourth and Garrett Corn in fifth.
Before a single lap was completed in the Ruggeds Radios IMCA Sport Mods 25 lap feature event, the caution came out when Camdan Vincent, Wes Digman, Rayce Mullen and Josalyn Elmquist spun in turn one. Drake Bohlmeyer from Beatrice, Nebraska took the top spot early but it was not long before "Speedy Bray" Brayton Carter worked his way from seventh to taking the lead away on lap five. Carter remained strong and cruised on to the easy win despite cautions on lap nine and twenty. Slayton, Minnesota's Brayden Ahlers came home second. Tony Olson finished third and Dorchester, Nebraska's Tyler Nerud started fourteenth came home in fourth and Bohlmeyer was fifth. Thirty-eight IMCA Stock Cars was in attendance.
IMCA Friesen Performance Modifieds presented by Tire Demon by Love Tap was up next on to the speedway for their 30 lap feature event after the field of thirty-five was dwindle down to twenty-four. After the initial start saw a caution when Tim Ward and Todd Shute got together in turn one, Tom Berry Jr started outside the front row but grabbed the race lead and checked out from the rest of the field, only thing slowing him down was the cautions on laps twelve, thirteen and fourteen. Berry was went on to take the dominating win ahead of eighth place starter Ethan Braaksma, Jake McBirnie, eleventh place starter Dylan Thornton and fourteenth place starter Tripp Gaylord.
Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks saw fifty-six cars sign in so it took six heats and three b-features to trim the field down to twenty-four for the 20 lap feature event. "Flyin' Fireman" Calvin Dhondt started on the pole and jumped to the lead but that all ended on lap seven when he spun in turn two. Joren Fisher inherited the lead when the race went back green but that was short lived as Bradly Graham took the lead away on lap nine. Graham started to pull away only to see the caution come out on lap eighteen when Curt Reed and Eric Knutson got hooked together and there was a long delay to get them unhooked. Graham held on through the green-white-checkered finish to claim the feature win. Beatrice, Nebraska Dillon Richards worked his way from fifteenth to finish second. Twelfth place starter Seth Butler was third, Joe Doran was fourth and David McCalla in fifth.
Final feature of the night was the Hy-Vee of Marshalltown IMCA Mach-1 Sport Compacts 15 lap feature event. The feature saw the red flag come out on the first lap when Curtis Masterson rolled it off the backstretch over the berm, he was not injured. Oliver Monson grabbed the lead when the race finally got rolling but received several pressure from behind. The race went caution free the remainder distance but it was not Monson taking the win it was Mitchell Bunch, who worked his away by Monson on lap ten. Bunch took the win, Monson was second. Omaha, Nebraska's Anthony Clark, eighth place starter Cristian Grady and Jake Paysen rounded out the top five.
