|
|
By: Tony Paris
(Oskaloosa, Iowa) The
Southern Iowa Speedway has continued to make it family friendly mid-week racing
venture and this week was no different story. This week was Halloween in June
with trick-or-treating before the races, a costume contest for adults and kids
with bikes given-away in five classes, Also another twist was a stock car
Australian pursuit and sport mod king of the hill added to the action.
The nights sponsor was Yaw's Auto Salvage of Des Moines and the first 250
people would get $2 off and residents of Albia, Lynnville and Sully would get
in for 5 dollars. Extra money would be also added to the purses for 4 of the
five classes thanks to some sponsors like Supreme Lawn and Landscape, Pyramid
Graphics and Sports, Stout Structures and Edel Lawn Care. The John's Tree
Service Sport Mod King of the Hill and 16 drivers would compete but it was
Jesse Sobbing making the 3.5 hour pull from Glenwood taking the win over Scott
Davis from Madrid in the final round to take an extra $100 home. Davis would
earn a free pit pass for next week as would Bill Gibson and Josh Modde. In the
Stock Car Australian Pursuit it was Damon Murty and Brad Pinkerton up front the
entire race but infortunately because the last car every lap was eliminated it
would be Damon Murty leading the last lap and taking the win. We would also
learn the winner of the Drivers coupons giveaway and it was IMCA Hobby Stock
driver Bobby Greene of Eddyville. The first feature of the night was the
Autocrafters/Whalen Racing IMCA Sport Compacts and it was Bill Whalen Jr
leading all 8 laps and held off a late race challenge by Merv Chandler to take
the win. Whalen had said earlier in the night that he was going to go out and
win in honor of a racing friend Tim Sands that we lost last week. For Whalen it
was was his 2nd win of the season in Osky, Chandler would finish 2nd, Chuck
Fullencamp was 3rd, John Whalen was 4th and Ronald McCish was 5th. In the Tracy
Elevator IMCA Hobby Stocks it was Jamie Songer taking the early race lead but
unfortunately the first race caution came out on lap 4 when Mike Hughes would
come to a stop in turn 2. On the restart Songer would be passed by Bobby Greene
and Mark Fee, Greene would take over the lead with Fee in 2nd. Another race
caution would come out on lap 10 for debris on the front straightaway and 2
laps again this time because Dustin Griffiths would fly off the back stretch
and get turned around and try to come back on the track. Shannon Anderson would
work his way up to 2nd and would try several attempts to get by Greene but
Greene would hold of Anderson to take the win. Hughes would work his way back
up to 3rd, Fee was 4th and Songer was 5th. In the Musco Lighting IMCA Modifieds
would see Andrew Schroeder jump to the early lead but after 2 laps was
completed the caution came out for Dakota Hayden getting in the turn 2 wall. On
the restart it was Jacob Murray taking over the lead and then Schroeder would
encounter some issues and head pit side. Murray would see the yellow come out
again on lap 4 when Tyler Cale and Scott Dickey would get together on the front
straightaway. Murray would go on to take his 4th win at Osky and 2nd straight
win. Josh Foster was 2nd, Cayden Carter was 3rd, Mark Widmar was 4th and
Brandon Banks was 5th. Next up was the Pyramid Graphics and Sports IMCA
SportMods and it was Ben Kates from Tonganoxie, Kansas leading lap but on lap 2
it was Jason Hall sneaking by for the lead. Hall would lead and start to pull
away until Jason McDaniel and Jesse Sobbing would chase him down late in the
race. Sobbing would take the lead on lap 13 and go on take his 4th win of the
regular season and 5th overall at Osky. McDaniel, Hall, Kates and Brett Lowry
would round out the top 5. Final feature of the night was the Carter's
Manufacturing IMCA Stock Cars and it was Brad Pinkerton once again taking the
lead. Pinkerton would have to deal with Colt Mather throughout the entire event
and when the caution came out on lap 11 for Damon Murty going off the back
straightaway, Pinketon would now have to deal with Nathan Wood and Matt
Greiner. Pinkerton would continue to hold of the challenges when the yellow
came out again on lap 13 for Todd Phillips going off the back straightaway.
Pinkerton would go on and lead the remaining 3 laps and take the win. Mather
would finish 2nd, Wood was 3rd, Greiner was 4th and Alan Van Gorp was 5th. Next
Wednesday Night it will be Musco Sports Lighting Mid-Season Championship Night
featuring the return of the IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series to the 1/2 mile.
