Since the inaugural race a few years ago i have made it my tradition to attend the first Karl Performance Hawkeye Dirt Tour presented by XSAN. For the 2nd year in a row the race would take place at the Benton County Speedway.
There was some very wild racing all night at the Benton County Speedway but the track was in great shape thanks to the hard work since sunday by Don Burkey. A total of sixty-eight cars signed in to do battle on the Tuesday Night. 21 IMCA SportMods, 14 IMCA Hobby Stocks, 6 IMCA Sport Compacts and 28 IMCA Modifieds.
During the heat races i was helping with the redraw and during the feature time i was helping Jen Turner, the HDT Series Scorer who was doing all the scoring duties tonight, with the scoring that was very interesting to say never did it before on a quarter mile but i did great so thanks for letting me help you Jen.
First feature of the night was the IMCA Sport Mods feature, Brennen Chipp jumped to the early race lead. Chipp had Damon Murty on his back bumper the entire way but then the only race caution came out for Dakota Sellers and Sam Wieben in turn 1. On lap 12, Nick Roberts made the move and took the lead away. Roberts held off Danny Dvorak late for the win. Jenae Gustin worked her way up to finish 3rd, Joel Rust was 4th and Chipp fell back to 5th.
Tyler Whalen lead from start to finish in the IMCA Sport Compacts despite several challenges early from his Father Bill Whalen Jr.. Merv Chandler slipped by Bill Whalen on lap 9 for 2nd. Travis Losenicky was 4th and AJ Whitten was 5th.
The Karl Performance Hawkeye Dirt Tour IMCA Modifieds had some troubles before the completion of lap 1 when Zach Less had trouble in turn 2 that would force a complete restart. Cayden Carter, started on the outside front row and jumped to the early race lead. Patrick Flannagan, Richie Gustin and Jimmy Gustin was 2nd through 4th through the caution on lap 4 for Matt Bonine in turn 2. Carter continued to lead even when Ed Thomas came to a stop on the backstretch on lap 10.
Next race caution came out on lap 15 when Jake Bowman went off turn 3. On lap 17 is where the real fireworks happened, Kyle Krampe stopped in turn bring out the yellow and on the restart, Richie Gustin made contact with Patrick Flannagan and it stacked up everybody else in turn 4 forcing another caution flag. Cayden Carter continued to remain out front and would even make it through the caution on lap 23. Carter took the win over Hometown Driver Scott Hogan, JD Auringer, Colt Mather and Mark Schulte.
Final feature of the night was IMCA Hobby Stock feature and it was Kyle Parizek leading the first 5 laps. Benji Irvine grabbed the lead away on lap 6 and appeared to be going on to the each win as he had a straightaway lead but he would go off turn 3 and 4 stay on the trottle and able to keep the lead. Irvine took the win with Nathan Ballard, Justin Wacha, Andy Coffman and Vince Buchholz finishing second through fifth.

Diercks Win Late Models On Last Lap Pass
By Jeremy Fox
Oskaloosa, Iowa (May 1st, 2013) – All day temperatures were in the 70‘s in Oskaloosa but by the time the races started it was twenty to thirty degrees cooler and the wind was coming from the north. That didn’t stop the speedway from seeing some action on Watters Autoland Late Model Season Opener and Pro Line Building Company Free Popcorn Night.
Tom Darbyshire grabbed the early race lead in the KBOE Radio IMCA Late Models feature but on lap 5, the power plant expired forcing him to a stop in turn 1 and the yellow flag to wave. Kevin Kile inherited the lead on the restart and lead until lap 9 when Todd Cooney grabbed the lead away. A few laps later on lap 12 the caution waved when Colby Springsteen spun out on the backstretch. Cooney looked to being pulling away but Spencer Diercks got by Kevin Kile on lap 16 and chased down Cooney. Diercks made the move and pass in turn 3 to take the victory over Todd Cooney. Kevin Kile, Andy Eckrich and Chad Cooney rounded out the top 5.
In the IMCA Sport Compacts feature it was John Whalen leading from start-to-finish in the 10 lap feature. Bill Whalen Jr. finish second, Merv Chandler was third, Alex Sampson was fourth and Matt Moore was fifth.
Donavon Nunnikhoven lead the first lap in the IMCA Hobby Stock feature but just after the completion of lap one, the caution waved for Dustin Griffiths in turn 4. On the restart, Nunnikhoven was passed by Mike Hughes and Hughes looked to continue right where he left on Sunday in Knoxville but then the caution came out on lap 9 for Aaron Osweiler. Hughes held off any challenges to take the win over Bobby Greene, Danny Thrasher, Nunnikhoven and Justin Hook.
“Mighty Mouse” Jason McDaniel lead from start-to-finish in the Pyramid Graphics and Sports IMCA Sport Mods feature but he had several challenges from Tony and AJ Johnson in the early going. Then late in the race it was Tony Johnson put challenges on McDaniel, McDaniel held off the challenges even after a caution on lap 14 that forced a green-white-checkered finish. McDaniel took the win with Tony Johnson in second. Eric Flander got by AJ Johnson for third meanwhile Carter VanDenBerg was fifth.

Also if you were not there there was infortunate accident that happend during the 2nd modified heat as Andrew Schroeder motor locked up and then shut off forcing him to a stop on the frontstetch and then Mark Widmar had no where to go but into him.
Here is the Update as of 11 am Thursday that i had from Nicole Widmar:
Andrew Schroeder's motor locked up coming off four and Mark Widmar had no where to go. Schroeders rear bumper got into the cockpit. Which mind you is not the size of a straw by ANY means... It missed everything by milimeters. His aorta, spinal cord, kidneys, EVERYTHING! Devine intervention at its best.Thank you God. And thank you Grandma Paula, I know you where his guardian angel tonight... Thank you to all for your prayers and thoughts! He is out of surgery, stable and most likely staying in Osky now... Blessed blessed blessed
