𝐇𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐞

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.
