Finally beautiful weather allowed Marshalltown Speedway to get the Memorial Races in honor of Dale DeFrance and Bill Davis Sr to take place after both fell to early season rain outs. Dale DeFrance passed away on May 22nd, 2017 and Bill Davis Sr passed away on January 10th, 2018. Both of them were actively involved in the racing world and loved spending time with family, usually at the races somewhere. This was the second annual event in honor of DeFrance, orginally scheduled for May 9th, and Inaugural event in honor of Davis, originally scheduled for April 11th. The event was also part of the Central Iowa Fair.
One Hundred Twenty Six Cars signed in to have their names written down in the history books on this very special night remembering two great men, the night was a non-track point night. Twenty-Seven IMCA Sport Mods, 21 IMCA Stock Cars, 21 IMCA Late Models, 20 IMCA Hobby Stocks and 17 Mod Lites. Jeff Aikey nabbed both the Late Models and Modifieds feature wins. Todd Reitzler won the Stock Cars, Brayton Carter won the Sport Mods, Eric Stanton won the Hobby Stocks and Dillon Raffurty won the Mod Lites. Final checkered flag was displayed at 10:44 pm.
First feature of the night was the 15 lap Mod Lites feature event. Independence, Missouri Driver Dillon Raffurty wrestled the lead away from Mike Zemo early and never looked back. Raffurty held off Zemo and not even lap traffic would prevent him from taking his first win at Marshalltown. Zemo ran second the entire way and Track Point Leader Mike Morrill ran third from lap five on. Joel Huggins, known as Huggie Bear finished fourth and Tanner Gannon finished fifth.
Leah Wroten grabbed the early lead in the IMCA Hobby Stocks 15 lap feature. Eric Stanton took the top spot away on lap four from Wroten and begun to pull away. Stanton, who started sixth, motored on to the easy win with only lap traffic slowing him down late. Wroten settled in to second, seventh place starter Kaden Reynolds was third, Jamie Coady was fourth and Zach Hovell was fifth.
Josh Sink and Bill Hildreth led the field to the green in the IMCA Sport Mods 18 lap feature but by the end of lap one it was
"Speedy Bray" Brayton Carter from Oskaloosa in the top spot. Carter held of Cam Reimers and Jenae Gustin before the caution came out on lap two when Brian Lepa spun in turn two. Carter continued to hold of Gustin, Reimers and eleventh place starter Jake McBirnie until the caution came out on lap seven for Curt Hilmer in turn one. Carter and the field saw the caution come out again on lap eight, first for debris on the front stretch and then on the restart for Andrew Sneller and Michael Parcel in turn four. Carter held off all challenges Gustin and McBirnie threw at him to take the win. McBirnie finished second, Gustin was third. Travis Peterson and Reimers finished fourth and fifth.
Up next was the "Class Too Tough Too Tame" the IMCA Stock Cars for their 18 lap feature. Todd Reitzler and Jeff Wollam redrew the front row with Reitzler grabbing the early lead. Just after one lap was scored the caution came out for Austin Even and Kenzie Ritter in turn two and then on the restart again for Kenzie Ritter in turn two. Reitzler and the field struggled to find some momentum because the caution came out again just after lap two was scored for Donavon Smith, Even and Dustin Vis in turn two. Reitzler got a great restart but Wollam reeled him back down late to make a bid for the race lead. Reitzler held tough until the caution came outo on lap 16 when Jeff Mueller came to a stop in turn three. Reitzler held tough and took the win meanwhile Wollam was spun in turn four coming to the checkers by David Brandies, Brandies was scored by Wollam in 13th. Twelveth place starter Damon Murty, eighteenth place starter Steve Meyer, twelveth place starter Shawn Ritter and Kyle Everts rounded out the top five.
After having the intial start called back in the IMCA Modifieds 20 lap feature, Ronn Lauritzen grabbed the early lead until Jeff Aikey took a liking on the top side of the speedway. Aikey worked that line to his advantage to take the lead away on lap six. The only in race caution came out on lap seven for Todd Shute sliding off the top side of turn four. Aikey was chased by Ryan Gustin the entire distance but held strong for the win. Gustin was second, California's Ethan Dotson was third, twelveth place starter Richie Gustin was fourth and "The Z-Man" Zack Vanderbeek was fifth.
Final feature of the night was the 44 lap IMCA Late Models feature, in memory of Dale DeFrance car number. Dale's son Darrel DeFrance drew 44 when sigining in on the night and then redrew the pole for the feature so just maybe luck was going to be on his side. DeFrance took advantage and jumped out to the early race lead until a caution came out on lap two for Kyle Hinrichs in turn one. DeFrance continued to lead until "G-Money" Richie Gustin Jr took the top spot away on lap six. Gustin and Brian Harris battled out for the race lead with Gustin being scored the leader since Harris jumped the restart on lap two. A pair of 77 cars, Nebraska's Cory Dumpert and Jeff Aikey was making their way through the field before a caution came out on lap 37 when Hinrichs spun turn two. Aikey took the top spot away on lap 39 just before a caution came out when Greg Kastli came to a restart just off the topside of turn one. Aikey started nineteenth held off fourteenth place starter Dumpert to take the win, Gustin would be disqualifed in post-race techincal inspection. DeFrance, Harris and fifteenth place starter Jeff Tharp rounded out the top five.

Shryock, Bass, Crimmins, Sommerfeld and Monson Win at Sports Park Raceway
With the Benton County Speedway in Vinton taking the week off after running the Hogan Memorial on Wednesday, the plan was to head to Sports Park Raceway in Fort Dodge for a night of racing with the camera however that changed on Friday when Ryan Bergeson asked me to go fill in for him on Sunday. Without hesitation I said yes I would fill in because it was so much fun the first time.
It was a beautiful night for racing action as it wasn't hot like the week before the racing was hot and heavy. There was two, three and sometimes four wide racing on Sunday Night. Sixty-Eight drivers checked in pitside including Thirteen IMCA Modifieds, Seventeen IMCA Sport Mods, Fifteen IMCA Stock Cars, Thirteen IMCA Hobby Stocks and Ten IMCA Sport Compacts. Final checkered flag was displayed at 9:15pm.
Each week when drivers arrive at the race track, they draw a poker chip out of a bucket. Red Poker Chip means you get your pit pass money back, you race for an extra $100 if you keep your starting spot or an extra $200 if you started last and win. Two drivers drew the lucky red chips this week, John Gill in Sport Compacts and Joel Tigges in Stock Cars, only Gill took the challenge.
First feature of the night was the 10 lap IMCA Sport Compacts. Tyler Fiebelkorn led the opening lap before Oliver Monson worked his way by on lap two. Monson pulled away to take the win, 4th win in Fort Dodge, meanwhile Jade Lange chased him down to finish second. John Gill worked his way through the field to finish third but need a caution to make it interesting since he accepted the poker challenge. Fiebelkorn fell back to fourth and Mick Evans was fifth.
Before a lap was compled in the 15 lap Pickett Salvage IMCA Hobby Stocks feature the caution came out two times. First caution was for Drew Barglof getting spun in turn four after contact with Riley Crimmins, Barglof got his spot back with Crimmins to the tail for questionable driving. On the restart, David Gilliland was spun off the backstretch by Wade Gilliland meanwhile as race officials called for a yellow, it was replaced with a red flag when Wade Gilliland flipped on his side on the frontstretch. Danny Sassman Jr wrestled the early race lead away from Barglof on the restart and led until a caution on lap five for Lincoln Miller sitting on the front stretch. Sassman lost the lead to Bryce Sommerfeld on the restart. The caution came out one more time on lap seven for Jeff Fink stopping in turn two. Sommerfeld got a great restart and went on to take his second win of the season. Crimmins worked his way back up to finish second, Sassman finished in third. Barglof and David Gilliland finished fourth and fifth respectively.
Justin Patterson led the openinf lap of the 15 lap Scrap Processors IMCA Sport Mods feature before Jason Bass took the lead away on lap two. Bass began to pull away only to see the caution come out on lap four, five and six. Lap four caution was for Justin Bettin in turn three, lap five caution was for Lucas Jones in turn two, lap six caution was for Bettin again in turn two. Bass was determined to not be denied the win as he held off challenges from Jake McBirnie on the restarts to nabbed his second win at Sports Park. McBirnie took second ahead of Jake Sachau, driving Tim Judd's No. 31 car. Doug Cook and Hunter Longnecker rounded out the top five.
The Silgan Containers IMCA Stock Cars 18 lap feature, certainly showed why the they are known as the "Class Too Tough Too Tame" beacuse they were two, three and four wide inlcuding a late race pass for the win. Cory Roe and Parker Slagle led the field to the green flag. Slagle grabbed the lead pulled away looked to be going on to take the win but Bill Crimmins made the pass for the lead. Crimmins went on to take his third straight win ahead of tenth place starter Jake Masters, Slagle, Joel Tigges and Jeff Deal.
Final feature of the night was the 20 lap IMCA Modifieds feature event. Ryan Griffith jumped out to the early race lead but just after one lap was completed the caution came out for Jason Hickingbottom off top side of turn four. Kelly Shryock got a great restart worked his way to second by the end of lap two and took the lead away from Griffith on lap three. Shryock and Shane DeMey pulled away from the rest of the field until a caution came out on lap 13. The caution on lap 13 was for Bryce Summers in turn two and the final race caution came out three laps later on lap 16 for Roger Nielson in turn four. Shryock and DeMey battled it out but Shryock went on take the win. DeMey, Nate Hughes, Ethan Braaksma and Jeff James rounded out the top five.
Sports Park Raceway will be back at next sunday night July 14th for an IMCA Weekly Racing Series with IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Hobby Stocks and IMCA Sport Compacts. Gates Open at 4pm, Hot Laps at 6pm and Racing to Follow.

The Class Too Tough Too Tame 18 lap IMCA Stock Car feature event started out wild when Todd Reitzler made contact with Jeff Wollam going into to turn one sending Wollam over the topside of turn one. Wollam rolled once and climbed from the car okay but unfortunately ended his night. The "Game Changer" Dallon Murty started third but by the end of lap one was in the top spot. Murty began to pull away and lead all eighteen laps in route to take his first ever IMCA Stock Car feature win. Murty's first Stock Car feature win was two years ago at the Hamilton County Speedway in the unsanctioned Stock Cars. Tenth place starter Steve Meyer worked his way up to finish second, Shawn Ritter finished third, Todd Reitzler was fourth and David Atcher was fifth.
Dalton Simonsen led the first two laps of the 20 lap IMCA Late Model feature before a pair of cautions came out. First caution on lap two was for Kyle Hinrichs and Jenna Johnson in bottom of turn two. On the restart, the caution came out when Jill George and Bryce Carey got together on the back stretch. Todd Cooney got a great restart and took the top spot way on the restart only to see the caution come out again on lap three when Curtis Glover hits the wall on the front stretch before coming to a stop in turn one. Cooney led the remaining laps depsite challenges from Jeremiah Hurst to take win number two in Motown. Hurst finished a close second with Hometown favorite Darrel DeFrance in third. Simonsen fell back to fourth and Luke Pestka was fifth.
Final feature of the night was the 25 lap $1,000 to wim IMCA Modifieds feature event. The caution came out before a lap was scored when Rod Clement went off the top side of turn three and then again on the restart when three cars got together (Anthony Hofbauer, Austin Howes and Austin Kuehl) in turn two. Jeff Aikey wrestled the lead away early from Nick Roberts. Aikey had to contend with Richie Gustin and Joel Rust but once again the caution came out on lap three for Nick Roberts and Ronn Lauritzen getting together in turn four. Aikey got some great restart but once again on saw the caution come out on lap nine and ten. The caution came out on lap nine for Jason Morehouse going off the top side of turns one and two. A lap later the caution come out when Hofbauer and Clement get together in turn one. Aikey went onto to lead the entire distance to take the win ahead of Rust, Cody Laney, Tim Ward an Kollin Hibdon.
