On Saturday night, the Boone Speedway, known as Iowa's Action Track, hosted a thrilling evening of racing, featuring make-up features from the previous week, the second night of the Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lites Corn Belt Clash, and another Saturday night racing series for track points in the other four classes. Two hundred and twenty-seven cars signed in to tame the 1/3-mile dirt oval. 

A total of twelve full features were completed, along with one modified feature that resumed after being 8 laps down (40% completed of their 20-lapper) from last week's show. A grand total of 42.4 races, including all the make-up features, heats, B-features, and features. The first green flag was at 6pm, and the final checkered flag was waved at 12:55am. By the time I got to the car and made it home, it was 1:56 am.

The first feature of the night was the resumed IMCA Modifieds feature event from last week with 8 of 20 laps down. The race leader at the time of the caution and the rain was Jesse Patterson; however, he did not return to the race, meaning they started two by two through the field with Jay Noteboom and Nick Meyer bringing the field back to green. Meyer would lead lap nine, but it was Todd Shute taking over the top spot on lap ten. A caution came out on lap 11 when Chaz Baca spun in turn two, collecting Ethan Robey, Colton Nelson and Russ Dickerson. The final caution on lap 12 was when Jamie Anderson came to a stop at the top of turn two. Shute led the final eight laps, going on to take win number two in Boone. Jake McBirnie, Meyer, Jeremy Mills and Cory Sauerman rounded out the top five.

IMCA Sport Mod May 16th make-up feature event saw Dennis Pittman lead the first lap before Kyle Free got by for the race lead. The only race caution came out on lap three for Josalyn Elmquist after hitting the front stretch wall before the slowing of Spencer Leonard, causing several of the front runners to check up. Jake Sachau took over the race lead and never looked back, going on to take the feature win. Joe Reetz was second, Willy Kirk took third, Randy Havlik was fourth, and Jessiah Taylor was fifth.

Stock car make-up features saw some excitement in both races. In Feature #1, Rod Richards jumped out to the race lead, which he held until he slipped off the top of turn four, handing the lead to "Bobcat" Johnathon Logue on lap five. Shortly after the caution came out for Richards, he was still sitting on the top of turn four. Logue had Cody Gustoff and David Smith on his back bumper on the restart. Logue and David Smith got in a nice side-by-side battle with Logue on the top and Smith on the bottom. Smith led lap 15, but Logue came right back before Smith snatched the lead away on lap 18. David Smith goes on to take the win ahead of Logue, Tyler Pickett, Hunter Smith, and Doug Smith. In feature #2, Parker Slagle took the early lead and received some pressure from Scott Olson. Devin Smith came back from ninth to take over the race lead on lap eight. The caution came out on lap 14 for Shane Stoneburner and Klayton Kramer getting together in turn four. The final caution on lap 16 for Slagle spinning in turn four. Devin Smith captured the victory ahead of Olson, eleventh-place starter Jeff Mueller, Kyle Everts, and thirteenth-place starter Jimmy Gustin.

Hobby Stock May 16th: Make-up feature #1 saw the initial start called back, but when it finally got going, it was Aron Fye leading the first three laps before Eric Knutson worked his way from nineth to the lead on lap four. Knutson never looked back, going on to capture the win. Wayne Gifford took second, Nathan DeRagon from Arizona took third, Seth Butler took fourth, and Joe Wollenhaupt went from fourteenth to fifth. Feature #2 saw Matt McDonald grab the race lead at the drop of the green flag before the caution came out when Jeremiah Goughnour, Dalton Coady, and Ronnie Hill spun in turn four. McDonald led another lap before Aaron Rudolph took the lead away on lap three. Rudolph led until Alex Yoerger worked his way to the top spot on lap ten. Yoerger went on to take the win ahead of Rudolph, McDonald, Mitchell McNeill, and Macon Robinson.

The Stealth Racing IMCA STARS Mod Lites 20-lap Corn Belt Clash feature was the first regularly scheduled feature event. Jon Padilla, a hotshot from Silvis, Illinois, seized the top spot, closely pursued by Bryan Zehm and Colby Oberembt. Padilla continued to lead while the other two battled it out; meanwhile, Friday night's Corn Belt Clash winner Josh May worked his way from ninth. The first caution came out shortly after lap ten was scored when Randy Bryan spun in turn three. Padilla remained strong out front, fending off the challenges, but the caution came out again, this time a red flag, when Oberembt and Brandon Freeberg both rolled in turns one and two. Padilla hung on to capture the win; Zehm finished second; May was third; Austin Grey, after taking a tumble the week before, bounced back with a fourth-place finish; and Joel Huggins was fifth. After looking at the results from Stuart on Sunday night, May picked the win, meaning he would have been the three-night Corn Belt Clash champion.

Elmquist Towing IMCA Northern Sport Mods again saw double features. In Feature #1, which technically ran second, Brayden Fahrni fended off Josalyn Elmquist and Christopher Frisbie for the race lead. Shortly after lap two was scored, the caution came out for debris on the backstretch exiting turn two. Jake Sachau worked his way from eleventh to the race lead on lap six and checked out to over a straightaway lead before the caution came out again on lap 13 when Ryan Boblett got into the front stretch wall and Anita Lee went off the top of turn 1. Lee would spin in turn two on lap 14, bringing out the final race caution. Sachau went on to capture a win, which was his 100th IMCA win. Mike Smith, Dusty Masolini, Randy Havlik, and Frisbie rounded out the top five. In feature #2, "Topless" Joe Doran snatched up the race lead, and despite a pair of cautions, looked smooth as glass out front. The first caution was on lap two when Kaden Rice appeared to have been spun by Chris Onstot going into turn three. Then on lap six, when Rice spun in turn three. Doran went on to capture the win with Will Kirk, high school graduate Kamdyn Haggard, Onstot, and Camdan Vincent rounding out the top five.

Griffin Taylor led the first five laps of the IMCA Modifieds' regular night's feature event, despite a pair of cautions on laps three and four. On lap three, Jamie Anderson came to a stop at the top of turn two; lap four's caution was for Andy Tiernan going off the top of turn three. Trevor Fitz took the race lead on lap six and fended off Owen Barnhill and Jeremy Mills to capture the win. Barnhill was second, Griffin in third, Braden Claborn in fourth, and Jake McBirnie in fifth. Mills took sixth after slipping up on lap 17.

In Stock Cars feature #1, Bryan Snell led the first lap before Lincoln Vansickel took the lead away from him. Vansickel stayed strong out front until the caution came out on lap six for Jeremy Ades spinning in turn four. Doug Smith worked his way from eighth to the race lead, and he was quickly followed by his brother David Smith. The caution came out on lap eight when Josiah Moulds and Robert Stofer spin in turn four. Then on lap 11, Ryan Roath spins in turns three and four, which looked like he may have had help. Doug Smith held off brother David Smith and Miciah Hidlebaugh to capture the feature win. David Smith was second, Hidlebaugh in third, and Austin Meiners and Tyler Pickett were fourth and fifth. In feature #2, Cody Gustoff led the first 16 laps, including through the only caution on lap nine for James Reichart in turn two. Devin Smith was able to steal the lead away on lap 16, but Gustoff came back to take the lead on lap 17. That was short-lived as Devin Smith took the lead back on lap 19 and went on to capture the feature win. Gustoff, Parker Slagle, Jimmy Gustin and Blake Lehman rounded out the top five. 

The final class with double features was the IMCA hobby stocks. In feature #1, Daniel Davis out-dueled Braelynn Long for the race lead. Long refused to go away quietly and applied pressure as she was getting pressure from Wayne Gifford and Josh Frederick. The caution came out on lap five for Nathan Palmer spinning on the backstretch. Next one on lap seven for Andy Smith in turn four. The last one on lap 12 was when Josh Vancannon and Long got hooked on the backstretch. Davis led the first ten laps before Josh Frederick took the lead away and went on to take the feature win. Corey VanDerWilt got past Davis for second, Gifford took fourth, and Nathan DeRagon was fifth. In feature #2, a caution came out before a lap was scored when Matt Breeden stopped in turn two and Braden Gifford went off the top of turn three. Keith Burg took the race lead, but it was short-lived as he exited the race track after the caution came out on lap 2 for Daniel Pittman and Briar Kriegel getting together in turn three. Brianna Osterson was able to lead on lap three, but Eric Knutson worked his way from twelfth to take over the race lead on lap four. Knutson never looked back, going on to take the win. Alex Yoerger was second, Joe Wollenhaupt was third, Tanner Jones in fourth, and Matt McDonald in fifth.

With the weather being a little sketchy, I confirmed my decision to stay closer to home for racing on Saturday night. I made the trip over to Iowa's Action Track, Boone Speedway, for their sixth scheduled Saturday Night Weekly Series night. Free admission to all healthcare workers in honor of National Nurses Week and National Hospital Week.

I am sure I will have a few people say, "Well, you should have come back to the Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, Iowa, for the Guns and Hoses race on Saturday. Even more so since after checking the MRP, they got their complete show in the meantime as the Adams County Speedway in Corning and the Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Nebraska, were cancelled.

One hundred and eighty-two cars checked in to tame the ⅓ mile, and it was an extremely fast racetrack all night long until Mother Nature decided it was her turn to take a checkered flag. There were double features for stock cars, sport mods, and hobby stocks planned instead of heats and B-features. There were a couple of tumbles in the heat race, with Riley Clem rolling coming to the green in a mod lite heat; shortly after the restart, Austin Gray bicycled in turn three and rolled about 10 times over the top. Both would be okay, but the night ended.

Following the heat races was the Sport Mods 12-lap dash; Mike Smith and Gage Hilgenberg led the field to the green. Smith grabbed the lead and never looked back, going on to capture the victory. Jake Sachau came home second, Brayton Carter was third, Hunter Longnecker was in fourth, and Trevor Noonan was in fifth.

The first feature of the night was the Carquest Auto, Truck, and Farm IMCA STARS Mod Lites 15-lap feature event. Jaxon Carr led the first lap, but Landon Elliott took it away on lap two. Elliott led the way as Charlie Brown applied pressure on the youngster. The caution came out on lap five when Cory Sonner spun in turn two. On the following restart, a bottleneck happened in turn four, resulting in Colby Oberembt, Devan Glick, and Cole Paul getting together, and Bryan Compart took a tumble. Elliott hung on to the race lead through lap eight before Brown found his way to the top spot and Joel Huggins followed suit to second. Huggins snatched the lead away on lap 12 and went on to take the feature win. Brown, Elliott, Carr, and Bryan Zehm rounded out the top five.

Brayton Carter took the lead from the drop of the green flag in the first Elmquist Towing IMCA Northern Sport Mods 18-lap feature, No. 1. Matt Avila and Cam Reimers tried to make it a race when lap traffic came into play, but Carter was strong. The only race caution came out on lap 15 when Sierra Rose Gary was spinning in turns three and four; it might have been because of the light shower that was coming down. Carter held on to take the win; Avila finished second. Twelfth-place starter Cam Reimers was third, eleventh-place starter Mike Smith was fourth, and Rocky Caudle took fifth. The second Sport Mod feature will be made up next week.

Track officials quickly brought the D&E Outdoor Services IMCA Modifieds 20-lap feature onto the racetrack. Jesse Patterson and Trey Kline ran first and second until lap seven when Jay Noteboom captured second. Nick Meyer moved into third, Kline in fourth, and Todd Shute in fifth. Jake McBirnie was coming from eleventh, and Jeremy Mills from twelfth, for positions six and seven, but the raindrops started getting heavier and heavier, resulting in the caution coming out on lap eight. 

After a brief discussion and looking at the radar, the track officials decided to call it a night, and they will finish the modifieds race next week. Before the official decision was made, I headed for the car to get dry and decided to beat the traffic and begin to make the drive back to Marshalltown, and when I got back, I found out they ended up cancelling the rest of the night.

Racing action resumes next Saturday night, May 23rd, with the make-up features in all classes, but the Mod Lites have at least 1 feature to make up, and then it will be Stealth Racing Corn Belt Clash Night 2 for IMCA STARS Mod Lites, plus the Saturday Night Weekly Series continues for Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Mods, and Hobby Stocks. Pits open at 3:30p, grandstands open at 4p, hot laps at 5p, and racing at 6p.

Foxman's projection on the order of events next week in Boone: Modifieds make-up with 8 laps down, Stock Cars A1, Hobby Stock A1, Sport Mod A2, Stock Car A2, Hobby Stock A2, Mod Lite Heats, Sport Mod Heats, Modifieds Heats, Stock Car Heats, and Hobby Stock Heats. Then features after that. 40 or more cars in a single division lately, Boone has run double features, but keep your eyes on My Race Pass for the order of events.

Well, I seem to find myself making many trips to the Stuart Speedway so far this season; the only night I have missed so far was the Dynamic Drivelines Dirt Duel. The decision to make the 184-mile round trip this week came on Tuesday; I mean, just look at this past Saturday. I made the extremely last-minute decision to drive down to Gardner Automotive Repair in Windsor Heights and hitch a ride to the Shelby County Speedway in Harlan. I remembered my camera but left my clipboard to keep notes at home, but I do want to thank Michael Gardner and Cheyenne Starr for letting me tag along to Harlan. If you have not been to Shelby County Speedway in Harlan, you need to make the trip over there sometime; who knows, maybe I will make another trip sometime this year. Okay, let's move on to talking about the racing action at Stuart Speedway.

Wednesday night at the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway, it was Fan Appreciation Night, sponsored by Elmquist Towing and Excel (Residential and Commercial) Floor Covering. All spectators ages 11 and up got in for five dollars in the grandstands. Kids had some fun at intermission with foot races in the infield.

There may have been only eighty-one cars checked in to tame the bullring, but the racing action was hot and intense all night long, with several finishes coming down to the checkered flag. The races wrapped up at 9:31 pm. Collen Winebarger from Corbett, Oregon, was in the house to hot lap his late model in preparation for the High Bank Heist presented by Malvern Bank at Eagle Raceway.

Great job by Mike Van Genderen, Rowdee, and the rest of the amazing track prep team. Thanks for the shout-outs, Tony Paris; as always, it was nice to see my busy racing buddy Dustin Jarrett, as he is in the area for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series at Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Nebraska. Yes, DJ, I like you more than Ben Shelton since, well, we see you more often. However, I am excited to work with you guys in August during the FloRacing Night in America in Motown.

The first feature of the night was the Southern Hills Spill Response Crown Vic's 12-lap feature event. Greg Dollens grabbed the early lead as Matthew McAtee and Jake Waters battled for second. Waters took second on lap two and raced into the lead on lap three. The caution came out shortly after Joseph Edler spun in Turn Two. Waters held off Dollens and McAtee on the restart, but McAtee made the right move and took the race lead away on lap five. Waters had his race come to an end when he spun in turn two on lap six with a flat tire. McAtee hung on to capture the feature win; in victory lane, McAtee said that car once was his daily driver to work. Dollens was second, Edler was third, and Waters took fourth.

Before a single lap got scored in the Hawkeye Auto Salvage IMCA Sport Compacts 15-lap feature, the caution came out when Joseph Carolus slowed in turn one. Craig Furstenau led the first four laps before Michael Gardner took the lead. Gardner's lead was short-lived as Tyler Fiebelkorn worked his way from eighth to take the race lead on lap six. Gardner tried to get back by, but Fiebelkorn was too strong and went on to take the win. Gardner captured second; Furstenau took third. Beatrice, Nebraska's Johnny Thomas worked his way from tenth to finish fourth, and Levi Volkert was fifth.

Next up was the Diversified Towing & Recovery IMCA Stock Cars 20-lap feature event. The caution came out shortly after the initial drop of the green as Rowdee Van Genderen spun in turn two. Chris Pruitt grabbed the top spot early and looked strong, but as the race was getting close to the halfway point, Hunter Smith, originally from Fort Morgan, Colorado, began to reel in Pruitt. The caution came out again on lap 12 when Miciah Hidlebaugh spun in turn one. Pruitt was determined to come home with the win, but Smith also had the same determination. Smith took the lead away on lap 17 and went on to capture his first win of 2026. Buck Schafroth got by Pruitt to take second, putting Pruitt in third. Mike "Wahoo" Albertsen was fourth, and Hidlebaugh came back to take fifth.

The Diversified Sales & Service IMCA Modifieds 20-lap feature went green with Scott Bash and Garrett Nelson, but it was Colton Nelson battling his brother Garrett for the race lead. Garrett led the first lap, but Colton took the lead away on lap two. Colton Nelson then held off challenges from Owen Barnhill; meanwhile, Todd Shute was working his way from ninth. Shute worked his way into second on lap 11, and two laps later, on lap 13, when Colton Nelson slipped up, the race lead. Shute led the remaining laps to capture win number two in Stuart this year. Barnhill, tenth-place starter Ethan Braaksma, Izac Mallicoat, and Tyler Inman rounded out the top five as the Nelson Brothers faded back to sixth and eighth.

Bobby Daniels grabbed the lead early in the Giza Ag Service Outlaw Mini Mods 15-lap feature. Bobby fended off Cameron Burkman, Chase Daniels, and Lucas Daniels initially, but the caution came out on lap two when Burkman spun in turn one. Bobby Daniels remained strong out front until he went on a spin cycle in turn two on lap ten, exiting to the infield shortly after. That gave the race lead over to Ben Kraus, who had worked his way into second. Kraus hung on to the win despite a caution on lap 13 for Braxton James in turn four. With Kraus in first, Lucas Daniels took second, and James finished third. Peyton Solum, racing his first race, captured fourth, and Bobby Daniels got fifth. 

Rick's Towing and Transport IMCA Hobby Stocks 16-lap feature saw Zach Day lead the first three laps. The caution came out shortly after lap 3 was scored when Nathan DeRagon from Peoria, Arizona, spun in turns one and two. Kale Hemsley got by Day on the restart to take over the race lead and appeared to pull away. Hemsley looked to be heading on to victory until tenth-place starter Tom Killen Jr. reeled him in. Hemsley and Killen battled it out; Killen captured the race lead coming to the white flag and went on to take the feature win by . 267 seconds over Hemsley. Braden Gifford and Derrick Rohe finished third and fourth, and Bentley Long captured his best finish of his first season in the hobby stocks with a fifth place.

The final feature of the night was the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart IMCA Northern Sport Mods 20-lap feature, and this feature was the best one of the night with a photo finish. Mike Dullard led the first lap, but shortly after, the caution came out when Mitchell Morris spun in turn one. On the restart, Cam Reimers took the top spot away as the battle for positions behind them heated up. The final caution came out on lap eight when Brayden Fahrni came to a stop in turn one. Reimers remained strong despite having Chris Burke, Matt Avila, Gage Hilgenberg, and Jake Sachau trying to apply pressure. Reimers held them all off initially, but as the laps were winding down and the lap traffic getting heavy, Avila was able to reel in Reimers and begin to apply pressure. Reimers and Avila battled it out to the checkered flag, which in the end saw Reimers win by .003 seconds at the line over Avila; you can watch that exciting finish on IMCATV replay or even on the Doom Scroll. Tenth-place starter Sachau was third, Burke finished fourth, and Morris came back to take fifth.

As if my racing weekend was not filled enough with flagging duties on Friday night at the Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway, flagging and race directing the Midwest Pavement Grand Nationals at Hawkeye Downs Saturday morning and afternoon, and making it to Brooklyn Raceway to catch the end of the heats and features, on Sunday I went somewhere. I had choices to make: Mason City Motor Speedway, Benton County Speedway in Vinton, and the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway were racing on Sunday. I brought it down to Vinton or Stuart because they each had late models on the card but decided to make the 1.5-hour drive to Stuart for the Malvern Bank SLMR opener.

It was a picture-perfect day for racing at the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway, which saw the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series making their only appearance of 2026 at the quarter-mile bullring on the northwest corner of Stuart. A total of one hundred and four cars signed in on Sunday, including 23 SLMR Late Models. It was track points night of the IMCA divisions with a normal points invert. The racing action was exciting and intense all night; we saw one first-time winner and a three-wide photo finish among the excitement.

Mike Van Genderen and the track prep team produced a fantastic racing surface for the Sunday Night Special. Jeff Kropf was fantastic on the sticks. Tony Paris and Anthony Ainslie did amazingly on the announcing all night, and thanks for the shoutouts. Jamie Songer, great job with the victory lane interviews.  It was nice to see reverend Michael "Wombat" Walrod at the track for the first time this year to give the invocation. The night started with hot laps at 5:30p, heat races started at 6:15p, and the final checkered flag waved at 9:23p.

The first feature of the night came before a full track prep session; it was the Hawkeye Auto Salvage IMCA Sport Compacts for 15 laps. Levi Volkert outwrestled Michael Gardner for the race lead. Volkert pulled away and never looked back, leading from start to finish. Tyler Fiebelkorn came home second in the feature that went green-to-checkered. Daniel Clayton came home third, Gardner was fourth, and Beatrice, Nebraska's Johnny Thomas was fifth. 

After the track prep session, it was time for the Malvern Bank Super Late Model Racing (SLMR) Series 30-lap West Series season-opening feature event. Bill Leighton from Lavista, Nebraska, took the early lead, but it was short-lived. Jesse Sobbing took the top spot on lap three and pulled away. The only caution came out on lap seven when "The Iron Man" Darrel DeFrance and Paul Glendenning spun in turn two. Sobbing had a great restart and checked out until lap traffic came in to play. That would allow Leighton and Daniel Hilsabeck to reel in Sobbing. Tad Pospisil and "The Ripper" Jake Neal joined the battle up front. Sobbing hung on to take the feature win; it was his first SLMR win at Stuart and eleventh SLMR Series win for the 2025 West Series champion. Leighton tried to surge in a late race challenge for second but came up and settled for second, fending off Pospisil. Neal and Hilsabeck rounded out the top five. The Performance Grading hard-luck award goes to Derek Daly after he caught the turn-one wall and barrel-rolled two times before coming to a rest that unfortunately ended his night. Keyser Manufacturing's fastest qualifier was Leighton with a 13.187-second lap in the first group. Pospisil (13.447 seconds) topped Group 2, and Hilsabeck (13.407 seconds) topped Group 3. Heat race winners were Andrew Kosiski, Jeff Tharp, and Dylan Sillman. The Skyline Materials Lucky 6th place starter challenge went to Hilsabeck, but he declined, so they redrew, and Jason Hahne then had a chance to win the extra $2,000, but since he failed, the challenge will increase another $250 at the next SLMR series event.

Next up was the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart IMCA Northern Sport Mods 20-lap feature event. Before a single lap was completed, Spencer Leonard came to a stop in turn one, bringing the caution out. Mike Dullard led the first two laps when the race finally got started, but Matt Avila took over the top spot and pulled away. Avila received late race pressure from tenth-place starter Jake Sachau, but he was able to fend him off to capture his first feature win of the 2026 season. Sachau was second, Dayton Swatek was third, Brayton Carter was fourth, and Mitchell Morris was fifth.

Rick's Towing and Transports IMCA Hobby Stocks had trouble finding momentum early in their 18-lap feature event. Dalton Coady spun in turn one on the first lap. Dylan Hill led the first lap, but shortly after, a caution came out when Michael Johnson Jr. hit the wall in turn one and then rolled once before landing back on the wheels. Derrick Rohe took the race lead on the restart and was followed by Braden Gifford and Kael Koch. The caution came out one final time as lap two was being completed when Hill got into Zach Day and Solomon Bennett, forcing Day and Bennett to get stuck with each other. Day's night ended, Bennett rejoined and got his spot back, and Hill was sent to the tail for being at fault but decided to take it to the pits. Rohe led until lap eight when tenth-place starter Briar Kriegel worked his way up to take the top spot away. Kriegel was followed by Koch. Kriegel, Koch, Gifford, eleventh-place starter Tom Killen Jr., and Eric Stanton made it a five-car race out front. This created excitement, as there was a three-wide photo finish at the line between Kriegel, Koch, and Killen. Kriegel captured the win by .051 seconds over Koch, and Killen was .024 seconds back on Koch. Koch was disqualified in post-race tech for illegal shock mounts, so that granted Killen second. Gifford, Stanton, and Rohe were third through fifth. 

In the Diversified Towing and Recovery IMCA Stock Cars 20-lap feature, Thomas Nelson led the first lap before "The Flyin' Bomb Pop" Miciah Hidlebaugh took the lead away on lap two. Hidlebaugh got out to a 1.5-second lead before "Wahoo" Mike Albertsen worked his way up to second. Hidlebaugh went on to capture the feature win at his home track. Albertsen's late surge came up short, and he settled for second. Austin Meiners finished third, Nelson fell back to fourth, and Greg Peck took fifth. 

The final feature of the night was the Diversified Sales & Service IMCA Modifieds 20-lap feature. Scott Bash led the opening lap. Colton Nelson took over the race lead, and Chase Weimer followed in second shortly after. Nelson looked smooth out front and appeared nobody was going to take it away from him. A pair of cautions around the midpoint of the race. The first one was on lap ten when Trevor Fitz spun in turn two, and then Owen Barnhill in turn two on lap 11. Nelson held off Weimer and Inman on the restart and went to lead the final 9 laps to capture his first career IMCA Modified win. Which, when I got home, I found out another first-time career IMCA Modified winner happened in Vinton when Ethan Krall did—so two first-time winners on one night. Finishing behind Nelson in Stuart were Weimer, Inman, Todd Shute, and Bash.

The next race at the Karl Chevrolet of Stuart Speedway is on Wednesday, May 13th for $5 Fan Appreciation Night presented by Elmquist Towing and Excel Floor Covering. It will feature all of the IMCA-sanctioned divisions: Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, and Sport Compacts, plus Outlaw Mini Mods and Crown Vics.
