After a lengthy decision on Sunday, I decided to make another trip to the Sports Park Raceway presented by Fort Dodge Ford Lincoln Toyota in Fort Dodge, just to get some racing in over the weekend. The decision to go to Sports Park Raceway in Fort Dodge is so easy when I am appreciated by the track promoter Jeff Frevert, operations manager Sarah Stewart, and the rest of the amazing team. Hanging out with my friend Danielle Ayers in the infield during hot laps and heat races is always fun. I may take some pictures, but if you want better pictures, check out Danielle Ayers Photography for even better ones. Again thank you for always making me feel welcomed when I can make the trip up and over from Marshalltown.
Eighty-four cars signed in to tame the 4/10-mile dirt oval on Sunday night, including 13 for the White Transfer & Storage Sport Mod Special and 15 for the rescheduled United Plant Services Modified Special featuring the Western Iowa Area Modified Series. The racing action was as hot and heavy as it was feeling in the air. The track was the best I had seen all year, as they would go two, three and four wide with no less than two strong racing lanes all night long. The final chequered flag waved at 8:47pm.
The first feature of the night was the Matt's Tire Service IMCA Hobby Stocks 10-lap feature event. Charles Prime grabbed an early lead from the outside second row, and Tyler Fiebelkorn and Chase Roath followed Prime to the front. Prime held them off, but just as lap two was being scored, Roath spun at the end of the front stretch entering turn one and hit the wall. Roath climbed from the car, but his race was done. Prime remained strong out front as the battle for second and back heated up between Fiebelkorn, Rece Hayes, Michael Gardner, Brooke Osler and Carson Hayes. Prime went on to capture the feature win. Fiebelkorn finished second, Osler took third, Carson Hayes finished fourth in his car nicknamed 'Frankstein', and points leader Rece Hayes finished fifth.
Nick Hogan led the first lap of the Culver's of Carroll and Fort Dodge 4.6L Crown Vics 10-lap feature before a caution came out for debris in Turn 2. On the restart, Birthday Boy Nate Hogan took the top spot away, but Nick Hogan refused to go away and regained it on lap three when Nate Hogan broke and went off the top of turns three and four, bringing out another caution. Nick Hogan held off Nick Sawdy on the restart before pulling away to capture win number two, this time by a full straightaway. Sawdy took second, BJ Charlson was third, Jim Hogan came home in fourth, and TJ Fickbohm was fifth.
In the Pickett Salvage Vintage Cars 10-lap feature event, Todd Jansonius outwrestled the McClendons, Josh and Brent, to grab the race lead. Brent McClendon ran second with Josh McClendon running third until the only caution came out on lap five for Cameron Kennedy spinning in turn four. Todd Jansonius held everyone off on the restart and went on to his second win of the season. Brent McClendon, Rex Jansonius, Josh McClendon, and Chad Larson rounded out the top five.
Jade Lange was the man to beat in the Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stocks 15-lap feature. Lange jumped out to the race lead but received several challenges from Brayson Siegle in the early going. Siegle took the top spot away exiting turn two on lap four but then took a sharp right off the top of turns three and four. Lange got a great restart and went on to capture the first win of the season at Sports Park. The battles throughout the rest of the field heated up, and in the end, Macon Robinson, Bryce Sommerfeld, Will Smith, and Roger Haupt rounded out the top five.
Brandon Toftee led the opening lap of the Marsh Concrete IMCA Stock Cars 15-lap feature event. "Wide Open" Scott Olson took the race lead away from Toftee on lap two, forcing Toftee to figure out how to get the lead back. Olson pulled away and cruised to the feature win. Toftee finished second, Ryan Roath came home third, Tyler Pickett was fourth, and Parker Slagle was fifth.
The initial start of the White Transfer & Storage IMCA Sport Mods 15-lap feature was called back. When the race finally got rolling, it was Matt Grall grabbing the race lead. The caution came out on lap two when Rocky Caudle spun in turn two in Preston Bright's hot rod after Caudle broke the motor in his car. On the restart, Good Thunder, Minnesota's Mat Hollerich, took the race lead away, but that was short-lived as Cam Reimers worked his way from eighth to the race lead on lap five. Reimers pulled away and built up a race lead of over a full straightaway until the caution came out on lap 14 for Brian Frederick, who got crossed up while being lapped and spun Grall in turn four. Grall was giving his spot back, and the lap car was penalized for the yellow. Reimers held on to the lead through the green-white-checkered restart to claim the $1,000 win. Hollerich finished second, Kamdyn Haggard was third, Grall took fourth, and Hunter Longnecker was fifth.
The final race of the night was the United Plant Services IMCA Modifieds for the rescheduled Western Iowa Area Modified Series 25-lap feature event. Trey Kline jumped out to the race lead, but Trevor Fitz flanked him. Kline continued to lead until lap 18, when Fitz was able to grab the top spot away. Fitz then looked to be heading on to take the feature win, but a caution came out just as lap 24 was being scored when David Brown spun at the top of turn three to avoid Robert Moore slowing in front of him. Fitz held off Kline and Jeff Stephens to go on and take the $1,500 feature win. Stephens took second away from Kline. Chaz Baca and Jacob Snyder finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
