Anderson Takes the MLRA Late Models at Osky
By Jeremy Fox

Oskaloosa, Iowa (June 12th, 2014) – It was back to life at the Southern Iowa Speedway after last week's rain out but just a few things were different. Taking the traditional Wednesday Night off to race on a Thursday Night produced for a great night of racing with around 100 cars signed in to do battle including the Lucas Oil MLRA/Corn Belt Clash Late Models on DOC360 and KBOE Radio Night.

First feature of the night was in the IMCA Sport Compacts eight lap event. Matt Moore led the first three laps before Bill Whalen Jr grabbed the lead away on lap four. Whalen took his fourth win at Osky this season over Moore, Shaun Slaughter, Austen Beccera and Trent Orwig.

In the KBOE Radio IMCA Sport Mods 15 lap feature, it was Logan Anderson grabbing the early lead. Anderson continued to lead until coming to complete lap nine when he spun in turn four collecting Cory Van Zante. That handed the lead over to "Mighty Mouse" Jason McDaniel, a lead he would not give up. McDaniel took his first win at SIS meanwhile Point Leader Curtis VanDerWal finished second. Carter VanDenBerg, Brayton Carter and Brett Lowry rounded out the top five.

Up next was the Lucas Oil MLRA Late Models 30 lap feature and before a single lap was completed the red flag came out when a handful of cars got together in turn four. After the mess was all cleaned up it was John Anderson taking full advantage of starting on the outside front row as he took the lead. Anderson was only slowed by lap traffic late which allowed Chris Simpson to chase him down but it was Anderson taking the win. Simpson beat his brother Chad Simpson for second. Matt Furman was fourth and Jason Utter was fifth. Ryan Gustin finished sixth after starting 22nd because he was forced to a back up car.

The Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds 18 lap feature saw Dakota Hayden take the lead on the opening lap but just after the lap was scored the caution came out for Jesse Sobbing in turn four. On the restart, Hayden began to pull away only to see Colt Mather work his way to second and chase down Hayden. Mather and Hayden battled it out on lap 15 before Mather took the lead away with two to go. Mather went on to take the win over Hayden, Casey Greubel, Scott Dickey and Jim Lynch.

Jamie Songer lead the first five laps in the Pepsi Cola IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature. Mike Hughes took the spot away on lap six and just after that Songer spun in turn two. On the resart Hughes would see Dustin Griffiths on the back side and those two began to battle for the lead.  The caution came out again on lap eight but that did not bother either one. Hughes and Griffiths continued to battle until the checkered flag flew which also saw the checkered for Shannon Sherwood in turn two. Hughes took the win and Griffiths was second. Brad Stephens was third, Bill Bonnett was fourth and Justin Hook was fifth.

Final Feature of the night was Budweiser IMCA Stock Cars 16 lap feature. They live up to the name of Class To Tough To Tame.

Luellen Brother Double Up at MoTown

Luellen Brothers Double Up at MoTown
By Jeremy Fox

Marshalltown, Iowa (June 6th, 2014) –  A New week but similar story as the Marshalltown Speedway is living up to some great racing action from start to finish during its 50th Anniversary season. Also in attendance was Traxxas Torc Off Road Series Driver Cam Reimers from Ogden putting on an expedition for the fans.

First feature of the night was the IMCA Sport Compacts eight lap event. John Gill led the opening lap before Adam Gates took the top spot away on lap two. Gates took the checkered first with David Moorman in second, Aaron Miller in third and Gill in fourth.

In the Mod Lites 15 lap feature it was Mike Kennedy taking the early lead but it was short lived as Jimmy May took the top spot away on lap three. May saw his son Josh May experience troubles on lap five forcing the caution to come out. May did not let that get to him but the final race cation came out on lap 12 when Charlie and Terry Brown make contact in turn two that ended Charlie's night. Jimmy May went on to take the win over Andy Hennigar, Terry Brown, Tim Hennigar and Dusty Masolini.

Rookie Andy Hick went on a spin cycle in front of the field in turn two forcing the caution to come out before the completion of lap one in the IMCA Hobby Stocks feature. Gary Pfantz lead the first two laps before Austin Luellen worked his way to the lead on lap three. Luellen and the field saw the caution one more time on lap seven. Luellen took the win over Garrett Eilander, John Watson, Dustin Elliott and Eric Larson.

Another week the IMCA Northern SporMods 18 lap feature was one to watch. Ryan Ashton led the opening lap before Jenae Gustin took the lead away. Gustin lead through a pair oc cautions on lap four and eight. But after the caution on lap 11, Clint Luellen and Gustin battled it out for the lead. Luellen sneaked by to take lead away on lap 13 and go on to take win three at Motown. Gustin, Andy Tiernan, Brett Lowry and Taylor Musselman round out the top five.

Once again the "Class To Tough To Tame" IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature did not disappoint any one. First three laps saw three different leaders, Dave Atcher, Robbie Merkle and Michael Jaennette. Jaennette lead until the caution came out on lap five when Jeff Wollam and Paul Shepherd spun in turn two.  On the restart, Jaennette experienced issues forcing him to the infield on lap seven when Donavon Smith took over the lead. Smith pulled away until he caught lap traffic which allowed Trent Murphy to chase him down on lap 11. Smith was able to get a great restart on the final restart on lap 12 to take the win. Murphy came home 2nd, Justin Temeyer finished 3rd, Steve Meyer was 4th and Atcher was 5th.

Final feature of the night was the IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature and before a lap was completed the caution came out when front row starters Scott Simatovich and Eric Elliott got together. On the restart it was "Downtown" Kyle Brown taking the early lead. Jon Snyder founded his way up to second and was able to take the lead away on lap three. Snyder continued to lead through a pair of cautions on lap five and seven. The Lap seven caution saw front runners Kyle Brown and Luke Wanninger get together in turn four. Adam Larson took the lead away on lap 13 when Snyder lost brakes and decided to pull off. Larson took his second consective win at Motown, Ronn Lauritzen found his way to 2nd. Richie Gustin, Racer Hulin and Kyle Brown finished 3rd through 5th respectively.

Next Week  Friday Night it will be Karl Performance Night at the Races.  Hot Laps at 6:45 p.m. and Racing at 7:30 p.m.

Griffith, Larson, Minnehan, Embrey, Benson and Oberhelman Take Wins on Casey's Night
By Jeremy Fox

Webster City, Iowa (May 31st, 2014) – Saturday Night at the Hamilton County Speedway saw some great three and four wide racing on Casey's General Stores Night at he Races. A total of 88 cars sign in to race on the 1/2 mile oval and they had to wait out a couple of rain relays.

Matt Oberhelman led the first two laps in the Oberhelman Motorsports IMCA Sport Compacts Feature before Danny Sassman Jr took it away. Sassman led until the only race caution came out when Ryan Bryant lost a tire in turn one.  Then a rain shower came and after a short delay it was back to racing and it was Oberhelman taking the lead back. Oberhelman went on to take his 1st career win over Sassman, Bryce Summers, Kalan Guthrie and Nick Hogan.

The Conley's Trucking IMCA Sport Mods feature was caution filled and before one lap was completed the caution came out when a couple of cars got together in turn two. On the restart, Rick Fasse took the lead and he led until the caution came out again on lap three this time because of a rear spring on the front stretch that came from Fasse's car. Ty Griffith took the lead on the restart but four laps later the caution came out again. Aaron Benson would take the lead away from Griffith and go on to take the win despite a pair of cautions on lap 12 and 15. Carter VanDenBerg, Matt Lettow, Griffith and Jared Van Deest rounded out the top five.

Victor and Nathan Palmateer started on the front row in the Casady Brothers Implement IMCA Hobby Stock feature. But the caution came out before a lap was completed when Wade Gilliland, Matt Mundt and Myles Michehl got together. When the race got going it was Nathan Palmateer leading the first lap but Jeff Lyon took the lead way on lap two. Shortly after the Palmateer's saw their night expire. Lyon lead until late in the race when Randy Embrey was able to his way back through the field after going to the tail for a flat tire early in the race. Embrey took the win, Craig Graham got by Lyon for second. Matt Mundt and Jeremy Morriss was fourth and fifth.

Mary Ann's Speciality Foods Stock Cars 18 lap feature saw Jared Daggett lead the first seven laps before the only race caution came out for Vince Loewen in turn four. On the restart, Daggett saw John Campbell sneak on by. Campbell's lead was short lived as Lance Deal took the top spot away on lap ten. Deal lost the lead to Jason Minnehan on lap 13. Minnehan went on to take his second consecutive win. Campbell was 2nd, Steve Meyer was 3rd, Deal was 4th and Jim Mitchell was 5th.

Chalfant Plumbing and Neighbors Heating and Cooling IMCA Late Models 20 lap feature saw Al Johnson take the lead but it was Jeremy Grady taking it away on lap two. Grady lead until lap four when he experienced mechanical issues that gave the lead to Todd Cooney. Cooney had pulled away until Ryan Griffith found a groove to his liking and chase down Cooney just before the caution on lap 16 for Johnson on the backstretch. Griffith took the lead away from Cooney on restart to take his 1st win of the season at his hometown track. Jason Hahne, Darrel DeFrance and Rookie John Emerson finished third through fifth respectively.

Final feature of the night was the George White Chevrolet IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature and it saw several heavy hitters there to get the car dialed in for the Hawkeye Dirt Tour Special. After three cautions before including having the initial start called back it was Devon Havlik taking the lead. Havlik continued to lead until the caution came out on lap nine for Greg Elliott in turn three. Havlik saw Scott Olson and Adam Larson on his back bumper.
