Kemna Auto Night Thrills the Crowd at Sports Park Raceway

With my normal Friday night race track, Karl Auto Group of Marshalltown Speedway, taking Friday night off because it was the 4th of July, that meant my schedule was free to go somewhere else. After thinking about my choices of Figure 8 racing in What Cheer, Sports Park Raceway in Fort Dodge, or CJ Speedway in Columbus Junction, I settle on heading to Fort Dodge for racing and fireworks. 

I rolled in to Jeff Frevert's Palace of Speed, Fort Dodge Ford Lincoln Sports Park Raceway, around 5:30p for Kemna Auto Night at the races. Half-price admission to the grandstands, plus fans were treated to a firework show after the races. 

Seventy-one cars signed in to tame the half-mile dirt oval. Jeff Frevert and the track prep team did an amazing job with the track; it was very racy all night. The final checkered flag was waved at 10:25p, and fireworks started around 10:35p and wrapped up around 11p. 

It was a great night. It was also nice to meet up with some familiar faces like Braxton Flattery; it was nice to chat with him briefly after the drivers meeting. Your announcing is amazing. Another familiar face was Rodney Tomlinson, who is one of the announcers in Marshalltown on race nights where I flag. It was fun, so now let's get back to talking about the racing that happened.

The first feature of the night was the Matt's Tire Service USRA Tuners 10-lap feature. Braxton Wallace outwrestled David Kimmel for the race lead early. Wallace and Kimmel ran one and two the entire distance, with Wallace capturing the feature win in the caution-free event. Kimmel was second, and Dale Gatton, Charles Prime, and Danielle Lenz rounded out the top five.

In the Dillion Tree Service Vintage Series 10-lap feature, Todd Jansonius led from start to finish in the caution-free feature event. Rex Jansonius took second away from Brent McClendon on lap seven. Brent McClendon was third, and Josh McClendon finished fourth.

The initial start was called back in the Culver's of Fort Dodge and Carroll 4.6L Crown Vics 10-lapper. They went three wide on the following restart, and Andy Williams led the first lap. Tyler Crimmins took the top spot away on lap two. Crimmins lead was short-lived, as Nick Hogan took the lead away on lap four. Then the caution flags waved on lap six, three times in total for spins in turn two. Nick Hogan held off Nate Hogan on the restart to capture his third feature win at Sports Park. Nate Hogan finished second, Crimmins took third, Mike Layne finished fourth, and Larry Dupuy finished fifth.

Only four United Plant Services USRA Modifieds showed up; unfortunately, two of them broke in the heat race, so only two made the call for their 10-lap feature. Lyle Sathoff from Sherburn, Minnesota, jumped out to the lead and never looked back, taking win number two. Robert Bennett finished second.

The Pickett Auto Salvage USRA Hobby Stocks 15-lap feature saw a pair of Crimmins, Riley and Jeremy Crimmins, battling for the race lead, while they would go three wide for third behind them. Riley Crimmins led lap one, but Jeremy Crimmins took the race lead on lap two. The first caution came out on lap three; Jonathon Hynes spun in turn two. Jeremy Crimmins continues to lead the way; the next two cautions come out on laps ten and eleven. Jeremy Crimmins continued to lead the way until Jeremy Wegner took it away briefly on lap 14. Jeremy Crimmins regained the lead when Wegner went off the top side; for Crimmins, it was win number three. Bryce Sommerfeld, Riley Crimmins, Branden Schaer, and Andrew Inman rounded out the top five.

Ty Griffith started sixth in the White Transfer & Storage USRA B-Mods 15-lap feature event, but by the end of lap one, he was the leader. "Rockstar" Rocky Caudle snatched up second early. A pair of race cautions on laps three and four for Eric Baker spinning. Griffith pulled away and went on to take the feature win; James Richert got by Caudle for second; Beemer also got by for third; Caudle finished fourth, and Hunter Poston was fifth.

The final feature of the night was the Marsh Concrete USRA Stock Cars 15-lap feature event. They went 4 wide on lap one with Myles Michehl, who started sixth going up on the cushion. Michehl took the top spot and began to pull away. Jason Purvis and Kyle Rose battle for second and third until Kansas City, Kansas' racer Rodney Schweizer reenters the battle. Schweizer took second away. The caution was displayed twice on lap six. Michehl looked to be taking the easy win until Schweizer tried a last-ditch effort on lap 15. Michehl edged out Schweizer to capture the feature win; Schweizer was in second. Rose, Jason Minnehan, and Purvis finished third through fifth.

Racing action was scheduled to continue at Sports Park Raceway on Saturday with the Pickett Auto Salvage USRA Hobby Stock Special; however, Mother Nature had other plans, and speedway officials decided to cancel the July 5th races. The next scheduled racing event is on Saturday, July 19th, for Kids Night. USRA-sanctioned Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Mods, Hobby Stocks, and Tuners, along with the Vintage Cars and 4.6 Crown Vics, are on the card. Pits open at 5p, grandstands open at 6p, hot laps at 7p, and racing to follow.

The Iowa ATV and UTV Hare Scramble Series takes over the grounds on July 25-27, and the Dick Marsh Memorial USRA B-Mod Special is on August 9th. The Iowa Moto Series takes to Sports Park for the Fort Dodge motocross on August 23 and 24. XR Stock Car Rampage, $100,000 to win, takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 26 and 27, for the XR Stock Car Rampage, $100,000 to win. The King of the Crown Special for the Crown Vics is on August 30th, and the Season Championships are on September 6th.

Aikey Takes Three, Schmidt Claims Victories in Indee on Appliance Plus Night

It was a picture-perfect day to go racing on the final Saturday of the month of June. With my other two tracks not racing, my options were open on where to go. I wanted to catch a Super Late Model show, so it was down to Independence, Webster City, or Corning. As the time came to decide, I was still unsure where I would go but planned ahead to decide as soon as I got in the car. Well after making the little over an hour drive, I arrived at my destination.

One hundred fourteen cars signed in to tame the 3/8-mile, banked dirt track on the Buchanan County fairgrounds. The racing action was exciting all night; a few times throughout the night they went four wide. No surprise Mike Van Genderen produced another fantastic racing surface. Great job, Dana Benning, Jeff Kropf, and the rest of the track crew too for keeping the track in amazing shape all night long. The final checkered flag was waved at 10:13pm. The night was sponsored by Appliance Plus US Cellular of Independence and Oelwein. 

The first feature of the night was the June 14th make-up feature for the Cue Rentals IMCA Sport Compacts, 15 laps the distance. Harrison Horn and Ethan Hogan led the field to the green flag, but neither one of them led lap one; fourth-place starter Chris Pittman grabbed the race lead and was followed by Tyler and Christopher Mannion. Pittman pulled away and looked to be heading on to the easy feature win, but a caution came out on lap 14 for debris in turn one, resulting in a green-white-checkered. However, before they would go back to green, Pittman and the Mannions got together on the backstretch, getting ready to go back to the green, forcing the caution light to remain on for debris on the backstretch. Pittman held on to capture his first feature win this year in Indee; however, his night ended shortly after the checkers as he blew up. Spencer Roggentien worked his way from ninth to capture second. Tyler Mannion finished third, Horn was fourth, and tenth-place starter Cristian Grady took fifth.

In the June 14th make-up feature for the Waterloo Auto Parts IMCA Modifieds, Chris Snyder grabbed the race lead from pole sitter Mike Burbridge, while Jeff Aikey was working his way from ninth place. Snyder continued to lead the way until Aikey reeled him in and applied pressure. Aikey took over the top spot on lap eight and checked out to capture win number 1 in Indee this year and the first win of his three on the night; more on that later. Snyder finished second, thirteenth-place starter Kolton Osborn finished third, Dustin Kroening was fourth, and tenth-place starter Troy Cordes captured fifth.

After the heat races and make-up features were complete, MVG and the crew went to work on the track to get it ready for the regular night's features presented by Appliance Plus US Cellular of Independence and Oelwein.

Performance Bodies IMCA Hobby Stocks 16-lap feature event was first up after the track prep session. Carson James outwrestled Jeremiah Wilson for the race lead early. The first and only caution came out on lap five when Quinton Miller and Garrett Ball spun in turn four. James was not fazed as he held off Wilson and Conner Clubine on the restart and then held off a charge from Brad Graham late. James went to take his first feature win in Indee. Wilson, Graham, Dalton Weepie, and Clubine round out the top five.

Next up on the race track is Wolfey's Outback of Quasqueton IMCA Northern Sport Mods 18-lap feature event. Tyler Carey started third, but by the end of lap one, he was in the top spot. Curt Smeins ran second until Brett Thomas made the pass and took second away. Carey and Thomas ran one and two until the caution came out on lap six for debris from Kole Quam's car that came off in turn two. Carey held off Thomas on the restart; meanwhile, Brady Hilmer began to apply pressure on Thomas for second. The final race caution was issued on lap ten when Ben Shannon spun in the bottom of turn four. Carey got a fantastic restart, but Hilmer got an even better restart. Hilmer took the top spot away from Carey on lap 13 and never looked back, going on to take win number three in Indee. Ninth-place starter Tony Olson grabbed second, eleventh-place starter Will Wolf finished third, Carey fell back to fourth, and Illinois's Rayce Mullen was fifth.

Jace Knight led the first lap of the Cue Rentals IMCA Sport Compacts 15-lap feature event, but just after the lap was scored, the caution came out. The first caution was for Knight when he broke going into turn one and going off the top. That handed the lead over to Clayton Loeb, and he managed to hold off Devin Jones until the second caution on lap three, when "Cheddar" Jason Petersen blew up, leaving debris all over turn three. Spencer Roggentien worked his way from tenth place and snatched the lead away on the restart. The final race caution came out on lap six for debris on the frontstretch. Roggentien had to contend with Devin Jones on the restart; he managed to hold him, but Jones refused to go away. Jones grabbed the lead on lap 13 and claimed his second feature win. Roggentien, ninth-place starter Cristian Grady, Loeb, and thirteenth-place starter Campbell Tressler rounded out the top five.

In the regular feature for the Waterloo Auto Parts IMCA Modifieds 20-lap feature event; Kyle Bentley led the first two laps before the caution came out when Jason Morehouse sent Dustin Kroening off the top of turn four. Kroening was able to get his spot back, and Morehouse was sent to the tail. Seventh-place starter Jeff Aikey was able to take the top spot away on the restart. Aikey led even through the last caution on lap 16 when Patrick Flannagan went off the top of turn one. Aikey went on to capture his second Modified feature win of the night, the second of his three on the night. Troy Cordes came from tenth to second. Kroening captured third, Jerry King was fourth, and Brennen Chipp was in fifth.

Christie Door Company IMCA Stock Cars' 20-lap feature event lived up to the name of "Class Too Tough To Tame." Ty Hill led the first lap by a slim margin over Dru Kueker; Kueker took the top spot away on lap two. Shortly after the first caution came out when Rob Twaites came to a stop in turns one and two. Kueker led until Jay Schmidt took the top spot away. Schmidt pulled away and looked to be cruising to the easy feature win. The caution flag was waved two more times: lap 17 for Rhett Ehmen spinning off the top of turn four and lap 18 for Jarod Weepie spinning exiting turn two. Schmidt held off points leader Tom Schmitt to take his second feature win of the weekend; he won Friday night at Marshalltown. After Schmidt and Schmitt, it was Kueker, eleventh-place starter Dakoda Sellers, and tenth-place starter Cole Mather.

The final feature of the night was the Scott Webb Concrete Pro Late Models for a 25-lap feature. Curt Martin outwrestled Jeff Aikey for the early lead. Martin looked strong and checked out only to see the lap traffic slow him down just a bit, allowing Aikey, Nick Marolf, and CJ Horn to reel him in. The caution came out on lap 19 when Martin spun in turn two; that handed the lead over to Aikey. However, before a lap was completed, the caution came out again when Marolf was spun by Logan Duffy, resulting in Kelly Pestka and Curt Martin having nowhere to go. Aikey hung on for the final six laps to capture his first late model win this season and his third feature of the night for the racing hall of famer. Horn, J.D. Auringer, thirteenth-place starter Travis Smock, and fourteenth-place starter Luke Goedert rounded out the top five.

Take in some racing action at the Independence Motor Speedway during the 4th of July weekend on Saturday, July 5th, with the Karl Chevrolet Pro Late Model Tour presented by Nutrien running double features. IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars, IMCA Sport Mods, IMCA Hobby Stocks, IMCA Sport Compacts, and A.I.R.S.—American Iron Racing Series—round out the card.

World of Outlaws in Indee and Harris Clash in Boone Both Postponed

My plan was to head to the Independence Motor Speedway for Monday Madness featuring the Real American Beer World of Outlaws Late Model Series presented by DirtVision, but Indee and World of Outlaws officials agreed to postpone it to a later date. They are working together to find a viable reschedule date and will have more information when it's announced.

So since my Monday night was free now, I was asked to come out of the bullpen and do some fill-in PA announcing for Marshalltown High School during their softball doubleheader with Highway 30 rival Ames, but unfortunately, they made the decision because of storms during the times of the games, and they are postponed to a later date. As I type this, the plan may be to play the doubleheader tomorrow night since it looks a little better than it did. 

Tuesday night, my plan was to attend the 34th Annual Harris Clash presented by Wehrs Machine and Racing Products, but due to a not-so-favorable weather forecast, Bob Harris, Boone Speedway, and IMCA officials have decided to postpone to save money for unnecessary travel when the chances are slim. The rescheduled date is Tuesday, August 5th. IMCA officials will now begin to put together the return of Iowa Speedweek. Information with more details on dates and participating tracks will be announced as soon as it's figured out. 

It's only Monday, and the Foxman is now batting 0 for 3 with 3 strikeouts this week. I may have a softball doubleheader tomorrow; if not, I will either plan to make a trip to Stuart for the Ron Little Memorial or the Gary Wilson Memorial featuring the SLMR Late Models at Osky on Wednesday. Friday night, it's back to Marshalltown for flagging duties during the Minute Man Printing Night featuring $500 to win Sport Compacts. Saturday night, my options are Hamilton County Speedway for the Tri-State Late Model Series and Bill Rice Memorial or Independence with the Karl Chevrolet Pro Late Model Tour, or maybe somewhere else; I guess we will see but where ever I end up I just might bring the camera along.
