HEBERT EARNS LIMITED MOD LAURELS IN TEXAS WINTER NATIONALS OPENER

BAYTOWN, Texas (Dec. 3) – Shane Hebert of Lafayette, La., captured the USRA Southern Limited Modified main event Thursday on opening night of the 3rd Annual Texas Winter Nationals presented by Express Race Cars.

Hebert, who started fourth, passed polesitter Derek Ross early in the contest, then sailed to the $500 victory in the first of three events comprising the tripleheader weekend at the 3/8-mile clay oval.

A pair of Lone Star State veterans waged a great battle throughout the 20-lap feature race with Howard Willis holding off Paul White for the runner-up spot.

Tom Hameka finished fourth and Phil Dixon was fifth. Sixth through tenth, respectively, went to Dean Hollier, Glen Grant, William Sellier, Randy Bridges and Brian Eddins.

UPDATE: Due to snow falling in the Houston area on Friday morning, the event slated for Friday night has been canceled and turns the weekend tripleheader into a doubleheader.

Action continues on Saturday with $1,500 earmarked for the winner of Saturday's main event.

Pit gates open at 3 p.m. on Saturday, grandstands open at 4 and the first heat race hits the track at 6 p.m. Hot laps will begin approximately one half-hour before race time.

The Houston Raceway Park is a state-of-the-art 3/8-mile high-banked clay located east of Houston on I-10 to Exit 799, then 2.5 miles south on SR 99 (Grand Parkway), then 0.3 mile west on FM 565.

VANDERBEEK, GREINER, OLSON, HOVDEN, KRATZER EMERGE VICTORIOUS AT PEPSI MEMPHIS NATIONALS

MEMPHIS, Mo. (Nov. 7) – Unusually mild weather for early November in northeast Missouri greeted race fans Friday night at the Scotland County Speedway, but the non-stop action on the track was typical of what they've come to expect at the Pepsi Memphis Nationals. The second day of the doubleheader featured drivers in five classes suited up for battle on the wide 3/8-mile clay oval in Memphis, Mo.

Chris Hovden clinched the USRA Hobby Stock national championship three weeks ago, and he continued his remarkable 2009 season with his second win in as many nights. Saturday night's win was worth $500 to the Cresco, Iowa, driver and boosted his weekend take home pay to $900.

Hovden outdueled 2006 USRA Hobby Stock National Champ Nathan Wood midway through the race, then held off fellow northern Iowa racer Scott Spilde for the victory in the 15-lapper. Derek Kirkland came home third, Todd Reitzler grabbed fourth to score his second straight top-five finish and Clayton Crump finished fifth.

In the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mod main event, Jeoff Olson finally reached the winners circle in a USRA-sanctioned event as the 21-year-old from Ames, Iowa, put on a dominating performance in the 20-lap feature race to pocket the $500 top prize.

On Friday night, Olson led a majority of the main event, but had to settle for the runner-up spot after a late-race pass by Colter Deutsch. On Saturday night, Deutsch garnered a third-place finish behind Olson and Brad Iverson. Early race leader Cayden Carter held on for a fourth-place finish and former USRA Hobby Stock national champ Jason McDaniel raced from 16th to fifth.

Second place on Friday seemed to be a good omen for Saturday.

In the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car 20-lap main event, Matt “Iron Man” Greiner of Washington, Iowa, snuck by Kurt Krauskopf on lap 9, then went on to capture the $700 winner's share of the prize money. Greiner, who finished second Friday night, held off Friday night's winner Nathan Wood for the honors on Saturday.

Jason Cook was close behind in third at the finish line while Krauskopf wound up fourth. Rich Vogt rounded out the top-5 finishers.

Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, Iowa, became the only three-time main event winner at the Pepsi Memphis Nationals when he triumphed in Saturday night's $1,000-to-win USRA Modified nightcap. VanderBeek won both the Modified and Stock Car features at the most recent Pepsi Memphis Nationals in 2007.

Scott Weber grabbed the lead to start the 25-lapper. He thwarted an early-race threat from Corey Dripps before relinquishing the lead to VanderBeek on lap 11. Weber, however, continued to fight “The Z-Man” throughout the contest, but settled for the runner-up spot at the checkered flag with Dripps following in third.

Ryan Gustin kept the Scotland County Speedway fans entertained with a thrilling rim-riding line around the track each lap, then nipped Friday night's winner Michael Long at the finish line to garner the fourth spot.

The Outlaw Hobbys joined the Saturday program with Dean Kratzer of Fort Madison, Iowa, taking the win and the $300 top prize. Second through fifth went to Dan Wenig, Jake Wenig, Brandon Symmonds and Jeremy Pundt, respectively.

USRA KARL CHEVROLET B-MODS JOIN MISSISSIPPI THUNDER SPEEDWAY LINE-UP IN 2010

FOUNTAIN CITY, Wis. (Nov. 6) — The Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City, Wis., will make the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods part of their weekly Friday night program beginning in 2010, track owner Bob Timm announced this week.

Licensed drivers racing in the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mod division at the lightning-fast 3/8-mile high-banked oval will be eligible for track points funds, as well as a lucrative national points funds as part of the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series.

“We feel the addition of the USRA B-Mod class provides racers with yet another economical class to choose from with a well established set of rules as well as track and national point funds,” Timm said.

Timm, from Winona, Minn., is a veteran Modified driver and a former WISSOTA National Champion, but 2009 was his rookie season in the racetrack promotions business as he took over the reigns of the former Tri-Oval Speedway. With the new role also came a new configuration for the track, a new clay surface and a new name.

In addition to the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods, Friday night racing at the Mississippi Thunder Speedway also features the exciting USRA Modifieds. More details on the 2010 weekly program are yet to come.

RaceCeivers and AMB transponders will be mandatory in all classes for the 2010 season, track officials said.

LONG, WOOD, DEUTSCH, HOVDEN TRIUMPH IN PEPSI MEMPHIS NATIONALS OPENER

MEMPHIS, Mo. (Nov. 6) – Fans were treated to a picture perfect night Friday as the Scotland County Speedway hosted the first of two days comprising the Pepsi Memphis Nationals. And for fans and competitors alike, the racing surface at 3/8-mile semi-banked clay oval was flawless despite the track sitting dormant the entire 2009 season prior to Friday's big event.

USRA Hobby Stocks got the main event action going, and Chris Hovden kept his career-best season going by topping the 15-lap feature race. The 2009 USRA Hobby Stock National Champion made the long tow from Cresco, Iowa, pay off as he came from the 12th starting position to claim the checkered flag Friday night.

Hovden survived several late-race caution flags, including one with four laps to go that found second-, third- and fourth-place running Scott Spilde, Clayton Crump and Jason McDaniel piling up in turn 1.

Andrew Hustead held on for the runner-up finish, holding off 19th-starting Todd Reitzler. Spilde rebounded to claim the fourth spot with Steve Allen rounding out the top-5 finishers.

In the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mod main event, Jeoff Olson secured the lead on lap 3 and built a big advantage over the chasing pack during the next six laps. The yellow flag waved with seven laps to go, wiping out Olson's advantage. After the restart, Colter Deutsch shot from fourth to second during the first orbit, then blasted ahead of Olson one lap later.

Deutsch, who traveled more than seven hours from his hometown of Ellsworth, Minn., went unchallenged the rest of the way to claim the victory. Olson held on for second, with Brad Iverson coming home third. Veteran Bert McDaniel was fourth and Bobby Penney crossed beneath the checkered flag in fifth.

Nathan Wood's chance at one win ended earlier in the program when the rearend of his machine broke while running up front in the USRA Hobby Stock main event. Wood, however, polished off what might have been his second win of the night when he bested Matt Greiner in a thrilling 20-lap USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car feature race.

Wood came from the 12th starting spot to garner the winner's share of the prize money while Greiner wound up right where he started in second place. Kurt Krauskopf finished a close third, Dave Warth claimed the fourth position and Mike Van Genderen held on for a fifth-place paycheck.

The USRA Modifieds brought the most entries to the opening night of the Pepsi Memphis Nationals, and they delivered an action-packed 25-lap feature to close the curtain on the evening's races. Michael Long of Quincy, Ill., is no stranger to the Scotland County Speedway, and he got reacquainted with victory lane after leading every lap of Friday night's feature.

Long disposed of polesitter Mark Schulte at the drop of the green flag. Meanwhile, Ryan Gustin quickly moved from his third row starting spot to take over second place on the fourth lap but could not close the gap between himself and Long.

A caution flag midway through the race gave Gustin the break he needed. Following Long into the first turn after the restart, Gustin ducked underneath the leader as they raced down the back-stretch. Long, however, held his ground and edged back in front of Gustin as they headed back to the flagstand then began to stretch his lead once again while Gustin searched high and low on the racing surface for a faster line.

Long continued unchallenged the rest of the way while Gustin settled for the runner-up honors. Zack VanderBeek was impressive in his first night out in a brand new 2010 Skyrocket Chassis as he raced from 18th on the starting grid to third at the finish line. Scott Dickey grabbed the fourth spot as he held off Donovan Lodge at the stripe.

The Pepsi Memphis Nationals continues on Saturday, and the weatherman has assured race fans of another beautiful sunshine-filled day for racing. Pit gates open at 12:00 with grandstand gates swinging open at 2:00 and the first heat race taking the green flag at 4:00. Outlaw Hobbys will also be on the racing card on Saturday.

OCTOBER WEATHER CREATES NOVEMBER TRIPLEHEADER THIS WEEKEND AT MEMPHIS, OSKALOOSA

MEMPHIS, Mo. (Nov. 2) – Recent postponements due to cold and rainy weather have combined to make what is shaping up to be one of the year's biggest events in America's heartland.

The Pepsi Memphis Nationals will be held this Friday and Saturday, Nov. 6-7, at the Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo. Just 80 miles north, the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, will host the finale of the 23rd Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge on Sunday, Nov. 8.

USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks will be in action on the semi-banked 3/8-mile Scotland County Speedway oval for the first time since 2007, while the same four classes will wrap up the second half of their twice-postponed program at the Oskaloosa speedplant.

Fans who braved unseasonably cool temperatures Oct. 9 were treated to a night of spills, chills and thrills as a field of 172 drivers packed the pit area for opening night of the MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge at the Southern Iowa Speedway. Snow covered the ground the following morning, so the second round of the event was postponed to Halloween afternoon where weather again forced the move to this coming weekend.

"We've been getting non-stop calls from drivers all over the region, and as far away as South Dakota and Texas, inquiring about this weekend's shows," said Todd Staley, president of RL Promotions which will be producing the events at both facilities. "The response from fans has been overwhelming too. They're hungry for one final blast of racing before the winter off-season. If the weather is on our side, this should be one heck of a weekend of racing."

The action kicks off on Thursday at the Scotland County Speedway with an open practice for all classes from 6-9 p.m. For race fans wanting to get a sneak peek at the competitors and their machines, admission to the grandstands is free. Gates will open at 4 p.m. On Friday, pit gates open at 4:00 p.m., grandstands open for general admission seating at 5:15, hot laps are at 6:15 and racing begins at 7:00. Pit gates open at 1:00 on Saturday with grandstand gates swinging open at 2:00 and racing at 4:00 (no hot laps). Outlaw Hobbys will also be on the racing card on Saturday.

There is no entry fee for the Pepsi Memphis Nationals if drivers pre-enter by Wednesday, Nov. 4, by calling the RL Promotions office at 515-832-7944, emailing todd@rlpromotions.com or by downloading the entry form at www.rlpromotions.com/memphisnationals.pdf and mailing or faxing the completed form. All drivers entering at the track on race day will be charged a $25 entry fee.

At the Southern Iowa Speedway on Sunday, pit gates will open at 12 noon and the grandstands will open at 1:00, with hot laps at 2:30 and racing at 3:00.

All drivers will draw each day for heat race starting positions, with top qualifiers re-drawing each night for feature race starting positions. A complete program of qualifying heats, last chance races and feature races are on tap all three nights.

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Oct. 27) – The Halloween treats will be handed out early this Saturday, Oct. 31, as the Southern Iowa Speedway hosts the finale of the 23rd Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge.

Fans who braved unseasonably cool temperatures on Friday, Oct. 9, were treated to a night of spills, chills and thrills as a field of 172 drivers packed the pit area for opening night of this year's MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge. Snow covered the ground in the Oskaloosa area the following morning, so round 2 of the doubleheader was postponed to this Saturday.

Saturday's big show will feature some of the region's best drivers in four USRA-sanctioned classes, with big money up for grabs. National points will be awarded in the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series, but a USRA license is not required to compete in this event. With tight points battles emerging, and this being the final USRA points race for 2009, nearly every one of the top-10 drivers in each class are expected as officials are readying the pit area for another 170+ competitors.

Officials have also announced that all kids ages 12 and under that wear their Halloween costume will be admitted FREE of charge. Pit gates will open at 12 noon and the grandstands will open at 1:00, with hot laps at 3:00 and racing at 4:00.

Following hot laps, drivers will be bringing their cars to the front-stretch and kids of all ages will be invited to join them for some early Halloween afternoon trick-or-treating at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster.

All seats are general admission, so fans are encouraged to get there early to avoid lines and get the best seat in the house. Camping sites with hook-ups are available at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds.

Modifieds will be racing for $1,000 to win their main event, while Stock Car drivers will battle for an $800 top prize. Both B-Mods and Hobby Stocks will be fight for a $700 winner's paycheck.

All four classes will award $150 to start the main event in their respective division.

All drivers will draw for heat race starting positions, and top qualifiers will re-draw for feature race starting positions.

Defending MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge champions are Brad Pinkerton (Modifieds), Tory Reicks (Stock Cars), Cayden Carter (B-Mods) and Jason McDaniel (Hobby Stocks).

Preliminary winners on Friday, Oct. 9, were Chris Hovden (Hobby Stocks), Luke Wanninger (B-Mods), Shane Weller (Stock Cars) and Corey Dripps (Modifieds).

PEPSI MEMPHIS NATIONALS THIS FRIDAY-SUNDAY, OCT. 16-18, AT SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY

MEMPHIS, Mo. (Oct. 14) — Due to heavy rainfall in the Memphis, Mo., area on Wednesday and more forecasted for Thursday, officials from RL Promotions and the Scotland County Speedway have pushed back this weekend's Pepsi Memphis Nationals by one day.

Originally slated for Thursday through Saturday, the tiny rural community of Memphis, Mo., will be transformed into a mecca of racing fans, cars and drivers as the Scotland County Speedway hosts the fourth running of the Pepsi Memphis Nationals on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 16-18.

“Workers have been working the track surface all week, but this little bout of rain has set us back a day on track prep,” said promoter Todd Staley. “We want to give the fans a good show and the drivers a smooth racy track. If the weatherman is being honest, the forecast looks great for Saturday and Sunday with temperatures in the 50s and maybe even lower 60s.”

For the first time since the 2007 season, USRA Modifieds, USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks will be in action on the semi-banked 3/8-mile clay oval. By popular demand, the Outlaw Hobbies have also been added to Saturday's program.

The action kicks off on Friday with an open practice for all classes from 6-9 p.m., followed by a night of pre-race bench racing in the spacious Scotland County Speedway pit area. For race fans wanting to get a sneak peek at the competitors and their machines, admission to the grandstands is free. Gates will open at 4 p.m.

All drivers will draw on Saturday and Sunday for starting position, and will re-draw each night for feature race starting positions. A complete program of qualifying heats, last chance races and feature races are on tap both nights for all four classes. Outlaw Hobbies will also run on Saturday night.

On Saturday, pit gates open at 12 noon, grandstands open for general admission seating at 2:00, hot laps are at 3:30 and racing begins at 4:00. On Sunday, pit gates open at 12 noon with grandstand gates swinging open at 1:00 and racing at 2:00. There will be no hot laps on Sunday.

National points will be awarded each night in the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series for USRA-licensed drivers, but a USRA license is not required to compete in this event. This weekend is the final weekend for drivers to earn national points, so dozens of title-chasers are expected to be on hand to improve their rankings in the national standings.

In all four classes, USRA or IMCA-type rules shall apply. Hobby Stocks have a 9:1 360 c.i. limit with no weight rule. In the Stock Car division, roller rockers are permitted, but roller cams are not allowed; a 2-barrel carburetor is permitted (Rochester, Motorcraft or Holley 4412). The American Racer KK704 or stamped Hoosier G60 tires are permitted for this event in the Modifieds, Stock Cars and B-Mods. Grooving and siping of tires is permitted. For complete USRA rules go to www.usraracing.com online.

Modifieds will race for $700 to win on Saturday and $1,000 to win on Sunday. Stock Cars battle for $500 to win Saturday with a top prize of $700 on Sunday. Saturday night's B-Mod feature will pay the winner $400, with Sunday's winner getting $500.

Churchill held off Kellogg's Don Nunnikhoven for second, while 2009 IMCA Hobby Stock National Champion Shannon Anderson of Atlantic came home fourth. Nathan Wood of Keswick, who captured the 2006 USRA Hobby Stock National Championship, rounded out the top-five finishers.

Todd Reitzler of Grinnell finished sixth and Craig Brown finished sixth ahead of fellow Eldon pilot and 2008 USRA Hobby Stock National Champion Jason McDaniel, who started 22nd. Adam Cline of Decorah and Danny Thrasher of Agency completed the top-ten.

The USRA Hobby Stock feature race got off to a rocky start with two separate roll-overs bringing out two consecutive red flags before the first lap could be completed. Decorah's Troy Hovey was the first to land on his lid, the Steve Holthaus of Cresco repeated he unfortunate feat on the first lap of the complete restart. Luckily, neither driver was injured in the incidents.

The USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods earned bragging rights for the night with 52 entries fighting for 24 starting spots in the 15-lap main event.

Luke Wanninger of Jefferson wrestled the lead away from Madrid's Scott Davis on lap 9, then survived a late-race red flag to capture the checkered flag and $500 winner's share of the purse.

Contact in turn 2 between Jeoff Olson of Ames and Davis sent Davis' machine into a spin in front of the field, with four other drivers getting caught up in the melee. While Davis was able to continue, the crash sent Rocky Caudle, Jason McDaniel and 2009 USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mod track champion Tyler Groenendyk.

Tracy Johnson made the long tow from Lake Preston, S.D., pay off with a runner-up finish, while Olson hung on for third. Eddyville's Bobby Greene finished fourth while two-time defending USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mod National Champion Matt Jones of Waukon finished fifth after winning his "B" Main before starting 20th in the "A" Main. Jones currently leads the national points as he looks to become the first three-time USRA titleist in any division.

Sixth through tenth, respectively, went to Matt Lettow of Roland, Brad Iverson of Grinnell, Davis, Mike Wanders of Oskaloosa and Curtis Engen of Monona.

Shane Weller of Agency muscled his way by Newton's Mike Van Genderen on the third lap of the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car 20-lapper, then held off Nathan Wood over the last half of the race to take the win and pocket the $600 top prize.

Current USRA national points leader Tory Reicks of Waucoma finished third with 2009 Southern Iowa Speedway track champion Matt Greiner of Washington clawing his way to a fourth-place finish after starting 22nd on the 24-car grid. Kevin Donlan of Decorah finished fifth.

Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa, Van Genderen, Lynn Panos of Protivin, Chase Mitrisin of Oskaloosa and Mitch Hovden of Decorah completed the top-ten at the finish line.

Corey Dripps continued his late-season surge with the first trip to victory lane in 2009 for the 36-year-old from Waterloo, Iowa.

Dripps, who finished tenth in the 2009 USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour points, inherited the lead on lap 2 of the USRA Modified 25-lap main event when leader Josh Truman of Indianola smacked the turn 1 wall and rolled his mount several times before coming to a rest on its side at the top of the racing surface. Truman, whose steering broke as he entered the corner, was disappointed but walked away unhurt from the hard crash.

After the restart, 2009 track champion Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon challenged Dripps for a dozen laps before another caution slowed the pace. During the yellow flag, fellow New Sharon resident Zack VanderBeek inherited the third spot when Marshalltown's Ryan Gustin headed to the pits with a right rear flat tire.

VanderBeek shot by Pinkerton on the restart and began to pressure Dripps for the lead. After a couple of laps, however, Dripps was able to increase his lead over VanderBeek but saw his advantage wiped out with three laps to go when the red flag waved for a six-car wipe out just before the start-finish line in front of the grandstands.

The crash saw Bruce Hanford, Brandon Banks, Steven Blattler and Donovan Lodge all leaving the race on the hook of a tow truck and leaving just nine of the 26 starters remaining for the final mile-and-a-half sprint to the checkered flag.

Dripps got a strong jump on the restart and won going away while VanderBeek settled for the runner-up paycheck. Pinkerton held on for third, with Clear Lake's Al Hejna fourth and Mark Widmar of Ottumwa finished fifth.

Sixth and seventh went to John Davis of Altoona and Matt Waugh of Des Moines, while Josh Bindseil of Columbia, Mo., came home one lap down in eighth and Mike Louis of Ames two laps down in ninth position. Despite not finishing the race after the late-race crash, Hanford was credited with tenth place.

VANDERBEEK, GREINER, MCDANIEL, WALKER TAME MAHASKA COUNTY HALF-MILE MONSTER

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 29) – Racing action at Southern Iowa Speedway on Wednesday saw the young race fans getting a chance to ride around the speedway in racecars, as well as winning prizes, candy, money and a new bicycle. For race fans of all ages, the evening featured four thrilling main events in all four American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series divisions during another "Licensed to Thrill" night with residents from the town of Ottumwa getting free admission to the grandstands.

The USRA Hobby Stock feature went to Kris Walker of Oskaloosa, who led all 15 laps en route to his 101st career feature win. Bobby Greene of Eddyville tried several times to pressure Walker, but settled for a close second with Danny Thrasher of Agency third, Nathan Wood of Keswick taking fourth and Oskaloosa's Justion Hook finishing fifth.

Wood continues atop the points standings with a 67-point advantage over Walker. Greene is third, T.J. Henderson is fourth and Thrasher sits fifth.

In the Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mods, last year's USRA Hobby Stock track champion Jason McDaniel of Eldon and rookie Cayden Carter of Oskaloosa battled for the win. Carter tried several times to get a run on the leader but McDaniel was too strong and took his eighth overall win of the year in the class. Carter took a strong second with Tyler Groenendyk of Oskaloosa taking the third spot, Mike Shelton of Bloomfield in fourth and Eddyville's Bobby Greene in the fifth spot.

Groenendyk leads Shelton by 67 points in the track standings, while Carter is just four more points back in third. Andrew Schroder is just six poins behind Carter in fourth and Carter VanDenBerg is fifth - just two markers behind Schroder.

The USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car feature was a thriller as three drivers wanted the top spot. Mike VanGenderen of Newton took the early lead but defending track champion Matt Greiner of Washington made it a two-car battle on the third lap. The action heated up even more with eighth-starting Shane Weller of Agency making it a three-car battle. The trio swapped the lead with nobody knowing who was going to win. The crowd came to their feet on the final lap with all three cars side by side and Greiner taking the win by mere inches. VanGenderen settled for second and Weller was a close third. Oskaloosa's Brian Mitrisin and Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon rounded out the top-5.

The win helped Greiner pad his points lead in the full-fendered division, and now leads Mitrisin by 38 points. VanGenderen climbed a spot to third while Nathan Wood dropped to fourth. Kyle Anderson is currently fifth.

The MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds saw Zack Vanderbeek use this week as a tune-up for the USMTS Modified event next week as he led all 15 laps en route to the win. Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon took second and defending track champion Colt Mather of Webster was third. The battle for fourth was a good one with Steven Blattler of Oskaloosa and Indianola driver Josh Truman going wheel to wheel at the checkers with Blattler snagging the spot.

Pinkerton leads the standings over VanderBeek, with Blattler third, Packwood's Scott Dickey fourth and Truman in fifth position.

Just four more points nights are remaining this season at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster as drivers begin the final stretch to the Pepsi Season Championships on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

Next Wednesday, Aug. 5, MUSCO Lighting presents the return of the mud-slinging Modifieds of the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour with NASCAR fan favorite Kenny Wallace and Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip in attendance at the Southern Iowa Speedway to sign autographs and race with the USMTS Modifieds. Also on tap will ber USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks racing for track and national points in the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series.

Pits open at 5:00, grandstand gates swing open at 5:30, hot laps begin at 7:00 and the first green flag waves at 7:30.

PINKERTON, WELLER, EDEL, WOOD WINNERS AT SOUTHERN IOWA FAIR

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 22) – In front of a packed grandstand, drivers in the American Racer Weekly Racing Series put on a barnburner of a show Wednesday night at the Southern Iowa Speedway as KBOE Radio presented the Southern Iowa Fair races.

In USRA Hobby Stock action, former track champion Nathan Wood of Keswick grabbed the checkers with Kris Walker of Oskaloosa taking the runner-up finish. Third went to Eddyville's Bobby Green, followed by defending track champion Jason McDaniel and Donavan Nunnikhoven of Kellogg.

The only thing standing between Wood and a second trip to victory lane Wednesday night was Shane Weller. The driver from Agency out-dueled Wood to win the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car main event with Oskaloosa's Brian Mitrisin coming home third. Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, who also pulls double-duty by racing in the MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified class, finished fourth ahead of Mike VanGenderen of Newton.

Brian Edel's first start of the season last Wednesday night ended with mechanical failure, but this week the defending Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mod track champion returned to his winning ways by topping a 24-car field. Mike Shelton of Bloomfield was no match for Edel, but hung on to garner a second-place finish while current points leader Tyler Groenendyk of Oskaloosa grabbed third. Fourth went to last week's winner, Andrew Schroeder of Keswick and 2007 track champ Brett Moffitt of Grimes rounded out the top-5 finishers.

It was a one-two finish for New Sharon pilots in the MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified feature race as Brad Pinkerton held off VanderBeek to take the checkered flag first. 2008 track champion Colt Mather of Webster pocketed third-place money, Indianola's Josh Truman nailed down the fourth spot and Ron Ver Beek of Oskaloosa returned after one-month-plus hiatus to take the fifth position.

The excitement continues next Wednesday, July 29, at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster with another "Licensed to Thrill" event. Simply show your driver's license or i.d. card from the town of Ottumwa and get in the grandstands for free.

Plus, it's "Kids Night" too with free candy and a nickel toss for the young race fans!

On tap will be the a full program of the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series featuring MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds, USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks.

The pits will open at 5:00 and grandstand gates will open at 5:30, with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at 7:30.

SCHMITT SNAGS 6TH ANNUAL GREAT AMERICAN STOCK CAR CHALLENGE PRESENTED BY KABRICK DISTRIBUTING

CRESCO, Iowa (July 16) - A stout field of competitors were on hand Thursday night as the Cresco Speedway hosted the 6th Annual Great American Stock Car Challenge presented by Kabrick Distributing with big money on the line in all four American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series divisions.

While the spotlight was on the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars as they battled for a $2,000 top prize, both the USRA Modifieds and USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods were also running $1,000 to win in each class while the USRA Hobby Stock main event carried a $700 winner's share of the purse.

In USRA Hobby Stock action, defending track champion Brandon Hare of Elma extended his current points lead with a victory in Thursday night's main event. After starting 16th, Ridgeway's Scott Spilde gave the fans a show, but had to settle for the runner-up paycheck at the finish. Nathan Wood of Keswick, Mark Lewis of Riceville and Adam Cline of Decorah rounded out the top-5 finishers.

Former Stock Car track champion Scott Bauer used his pole position to take a wire-to-wire win in the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mod feature race. The "Riceville Rocket" held off Ben Moudry of Protivin for the victory, with Decorah's Brian Freilinger taking third. Current points leader Matt Jones of Waukon was fourth and last week's winner, Tyler Droste of Waterloo, hung on for fifth.

Jason Krohn made a rare appearance at the Mighty Howard County Fairgrounds pay off with a victory in the USRA Modified main event. The 2007 USMTS National Champion from Slayton, Minn., out-dueled Delhi's Mark Schulte for the win while third through fifth went to Doug Hillson of Blooming Prairie, Minn., Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon and eight-time USMTS National Champion Kelly Shryock of Fertile.

Ron Konkel of Caledonia, Minn., and Darrin Walch of Postville struggled to eighth- and ninth-place finishes, respectively, and are now separated by just one point in the USRA Modified points standings with Konkel leading the defending track champ.

Although he won't claim a sixth consecutive track championship this season, Tom Schmitt of Independence continues to rewrite the Cresco Speedway record books as he led from start to finish to claim the $2,000 top prize in Thursday night's USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock feature race. Tory Reicks of Waucoma finished second in the 32-car starting field, with current points leader Brian Gjere of Mabel, Minn., coming from the 11th starting spot to finish third. Decorah's Dan Christopher grabbed fourth and Shane Weller of Agency completed the first five across the finish line.

There's no racing at the Cresco Speedway this weekend, but action returns next Sunday, July 26, with another "License to Thrill" night. Race fans from the town of New Hampton simply need to show their driver's license or i.d. card to get FREE admission to the grandstands and enjoy a full night of racing action on the house! On tap will be the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series featuring USRA Modifieds, USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks.

Pit gates open at 4:00, grandstands open at 5:00, hot laps are slated for 6:15 and the first heat race takes to the track at 6:30.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Some big shows are on the schedule at the Cresco Speedway during the month of August, so mark your calendars now. On August 4, it's the return of the mud-slinging Modifieds of the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour with former NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Bobby Labonte and NASCAR fan favorite Kenny Wallace (and another driver TBA) on hand to sign autographs and race with the USMTS Modifieds.

PINKERTON NABS ONE FOR NEW SHARON FAITHFUL, SCHROEDER COLLECTS B-MOD BUCKS AT OSKALOOSA

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 15) – The Southern Iowa Speedway was "Licensed to Thrill” Wednesday night as residents of New Sharon got into the grandstands FREE and enjoyed a full night of racing action on the house!

A wetter-than-usual racing surface made for some lightning-fast racing throughout the night, as well as some close action for the fans.

In the USRA Hobby Stock feature, defending track champion Jason McDaniel of Eldon picked up the win as he held off 2007 USRA Hobby Stock National Champion Nathan Wood of Keswick. Donavan Nunnikhoven of Kellogg was third, followed by T.J. Henderson of Douds and Oskaloosa's Kris Walker.

With extra money up for grabs, including $700 to the main event winner, the battles were widespread in the Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mods. In the end, it was Keswick's Andrew Schroeder taking the win ahead of ninth-starting Cayden Carter of Oskaloosa. Fellow Osky youngster Carter VanDenBerg grabbed the third spot, with Drew Lawson of Oskaloosa coming home fourth and Geoff Olson of Ames finishing fifth.

Defending track champion Matt Greiner of Washington picked up where he left off last week with back-to-back wins in the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car main event. Despite a valiant effort, Nathan Wood could not get by Greiner and had to settle for his second runner-up paycheck of the night. Shane Weller of Agency took third, while Oskaloosa's Brian Mitrisin and Kyle Harwood finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

In MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified action, 2006 track champion Brad Pinkerton found the tacky-fast clay to his liking as he captured the main event to the delight of his fans from New Sharon. Finishing second was 2007 track champion Brandon Banks of Washington, while New Sharon ace Zack VanderBeek snagged third. Adam Bell of Kalona wound up fourth and Josh Truman of Indianola rounded out the top-5 finishers.

Next Wednesday, July 22, the Deery Brothers Summer Series for IMCA Late Models invades the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster as KBOE Radio presents the Southern Iowa Fair races. Last year's event saw Ray Guss Jr. take the checkered flag first but was disqualified during post-race technical inspection, giving the victor's trophy to Boone McLaughlin who went on to capture the series title.

The series, now in it's 23rd season, has averaged more than 40 Late Models per event this season. In addition to Guss and McLaughlin, drivers expected for this event include points leader Jeff Aikey, Jason Frankel, Tom Darbyshire, Terry Neal, Jay Johnson, Rob Toland, Bryan Klein, Justin Kay, Matt Strassheim, Mark Burgtorf, T.J.

History was made Sunday night in the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mod feature as 13-year-old Tyler Droste raced to his first main event win to become the youngest winner in the history of the speedplant at the Mighty Howard County Fairgrounds. The second-generation driver from Waterloo held off tenth-starting Matt Jones over the final laps, with Eric Verthein coming from eighth to finish third, Brian Mahlstadt fourth and Brian Schrage in fifth.

Nathan Wood made the long trek from Keswick pay off with a victory in the USRA Hobby Stock main event. The 2007 USRA Hobby Stock National Champion held off tenth-starting Brandon Hare for the honors. Kyle Anderson finished third, Dan Hovden was fourth and Randy Banks rounded out the top-5 at the finish line.

Even bigger fields are expected this Thursday, July 16, as the Cresco Speedway hosts the 6th Annual Great American Stock Car Challenge presented by Kabrick Distributing.

USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars will be battling for a $2,000 top prize, while both USRA Modifieds and USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods will race for $1,000 to win. The USRA Hobby Stock main event will carry a $700 winner's share of the purse.

14TH ANNUAL MUSCO LIGHTING GREAT AMERICAN STOCK CAR SHOOTOUT GOES TO GREINER
By Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 1) – Wednesday was the 14th year for the prestigious MUSCO Lighting Great American Stock Car Shootout at the Southern Iowa Speedway with the winner of the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car feature walking away with a $2,000 payday.

The feature was be a thriller with two- and three-wide racing. Ryan Falck of Decorah and Cresco driver Shay Curtin went toe to toe before Curtin secured the lead and looked to be on his way to victory lane.

The caution flag flew on lap 21, however, which tightened the field up. Curtin spun his tires on the restart and slipped back to fourth, but the caution flew again for a car in turn 1 and setting up another restart.

This time Curtin held his lead into turn 1 with Matt Greiner of Washington and Tory Reicks of Waucoma battling for the lead with Greiner making the pass off turn 4 to take the lead.

Greiner went on to pick up the biggest win of his career by crossing the line and taking the $2,000 payday and a very special trophy to add to the trophy case to remember an awesome night of racing.

The second spot went to Curtin, who drove a great race while the battle for the third spot saw Brian Mitrisin top Reicks.

The Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mods battled it out with Tyler Groenendyk of Oskaloosa leading all 18 laps for his second win of the season, and this one paying a whopping $1,000 for his efforts.

The second place car of Cory Brown ended his night with a flat right rear tire giving 2007 track champion Brett Moffitt the runner-up spot with Mike Wanders of Oskaloosa taking third and Drew Lawson of Oskaloosa racing his way from the 17th starting spot to take fourth.

In the MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds, Kelly Shryock of Fertile took the lead on the first lap and paced the field before two New Sharon drivers closed the gap and put pressure on the eight-time USMTS National Champion.

Zack VanderBeek and Brad Pinkerton brought the crowd to it’s feet with Pinkerton making the pass on lap 13, but a caution flag flew and forced Pinkerton to surrender the lead and restart third.

Shryock moved to the high side of the track to defend against Pinkerton, while VanderBeek made the pass on the bottom of turn 4 on lap 16.

VanderBeek went on to take the $1,000 payday with Shryock in second and Pinkerton in third.

Defending Track Champion Colt Mather of Webster was fourth and first-time visitor Adam Bell of Kalona snared the fifth spot.

In the USRA Hobby Stocks, Kris Walker of Oskaloosa and Bobby Greene of Eddyville swapped the lead several times before Nathan Wood of Keswick made the pass for the lead.

Chris Hovden of Cresco stayed glued to the rear bumper of Wood, but Wood held on for the $700 win with Hovden in second followed by Jason McDaniel of Eldon and Shannon Anderson of Atlantic taking the fourth spot after starting deep in the field.

After Wednesday's wild show, fans and drivers are revved up for this Wednesday, July 8, with racing action presented by Palmer for State Representative and the first of several “Licensed to Thrill” special events at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster.

Race fans from the town of Oskaloosa simply need to show their driver's license or i.d. card to get FREE admission to the grandstands and enjoy a full night of racing action on the house!

On tap will be the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series featuring MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds, USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks.

The pits will open at 5 p.m. and grandstand gates will open at 5:30, with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at 7:30 p.m. sharp.

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 10) – The Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, was back in action Wednesday for another round of American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series battles, plus Kids Night presented by the Oskaloosa Herald with free candy and a nickel toss for the young race fans.

After winning last week in the USRA Hobby Stock feature, Nathan Wood of Keswick had to start tenth Wednesday night but it was not enough to stop the 2007 American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series Hobby Stock national champion from claiming back-to-back wins at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster. Donavan Nunnikhoven of Kellogg cashed the runner-up paycheck, followed by Pulaski's Dale Porter, and Oskaloosa drivers Kris Walker and Steve Allen.

Third through fifth, respectively, went to points leader Tyler Groenendyk of Oskaloosa, Carter VanDenBerg of Oskaloosa and Keswick's Andrew Schroeder.

In the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car main event, Shane Weller of Agency held off two-time defending track champion Matt Greiner of Washington for the victory. Third place went to Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, Corey Stout of Oskaloosa was fourth and Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa rounded out the top-5 finishers.

VanderBeek was batting .500 Wednesday night as he hopped out of his Stock Car and into his MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified and rolled right into victory lane. Points leader Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon grabbed second, with defending track champion Colt Mather of Webster winding up third. Fourth went to Oskaloosa veteran Ron Ver Beek with second-generation driver Scott Dickey of Packwood claiming fifth-place money.

WOOD TAKES HOBBY STOCK PRIZE AT OSKALOOSA; STEWART, GREINER, MCDANIEL ALSO WIN
By Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 3) – American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series action was held at the Southern Iowa Speedway after a week absent due to a rain-out the previous Wednesday.

The first feature of the night was the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car feature going green to checkered with Matt Greiner of Washington and Mike VanGenderen of Newton battling for the win. Brain Mitrisin tried to make it a three-car battle but Greiner was able to hold off several challenges and took his first win of the season at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster. VanGenderen took the second spot followed by Brain Mitrisin and cousin Chase Mitrisin of Oskaloosa taking fourth.

In the Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mod feature, race fans saw a third different winner in the very tough division. Two-time defending USRA Hobby Stock track champion Jason McDaniel of Eldon took the lead from Mike Wanders of Oskaloosa on lap 7 and never looked back in taking his first win since moving up to the B-Mod class in 2009. Young Oskaloosa driver Carter VanDenBerg tried to catch McDaniel's #85 machine but finished in the runner-up spot. The battle for the third spot between two Des Moines drivers, Josh Modde and Bryon Weyer, went to Modde.

The MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds tried two times on the original start with West Liberty driver Steve Boley jumping twice before having to start from the tail of the field. This was Boley’s first visit to the Southern Iowa Speedway and he was driving the former ride of David Holder of Clarence, Mo., who decided to end his driving career with the #71 team. 2005 MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified track champion Steve Stewart of Burlington took the lead and never looked back, cruising to the feature win. The runner-up spot went to Bruce Hanford of Davenport who was visiting for the first time in 2009. Josh Truman of Indianola ran in the second spot until five laps remaining when Hanford made the pass. Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon finished in the fourth spot.

The final main event of the night featured the USRA Hobby Stocks capping off a great night of racing and paying a hefty $700 to the winner. The drivers thrilled the crowd with two- and three-wide racing with Nathan Wood making the pass on Craig Brown of Eldon with seven laps remaining in the 18-lap event. Brown made his first appearance at Oskaloosa pay off with a runner-up spot that paid $400. The two drivers battled wheel to wheel, along with Dustin Griffiths who mixed it up but would end his run with brake problems. The third spot went to Donovan Nunnikhoven of Sully driving Mark Moore’s car. Danny Thrasher of Agency snared the fourth spot.

Next Wednesday, June 10, is Kids Night presented by the Oskaloosa Herald with free candy and a nickel toss for the kids. Plus, the Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mods will be running for a special purse paying $700 to win the main event.

VANDERBEEK SCORES TWICE, FEE AND GREENE ALSO WIN ON OPENING NIGHT AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (May 14) – The season opener had to wait one day but a beautiful evening for racing at the Southern Iowa Speedway Thursday night was worth the wait with four exciting classes heating up the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster for the first time in 2009.

The first feature of the night was the Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mods taking to the track with 19 drivers trying to take the checkers, but Kevin Fee of Knoxville took home the top prize. Fee and Andrew Schroeder of Keswick thrilled the crowd with side-by-side action but a flat right front tire ended Schroeder’s night early.

Josh Modde of Des Moines made his first appearance pay off in the runner-up spot with Cayden Carter taking third. However, Carter was later disqualified during post-race technical inspection. This gave Oskaloosa's Tyler Groenendyk the third spot, with Mike Shelton of Bloomfield in fourth and Bryon Weyer of Des Moines the fifth position.

The USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car feature saw Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon and Nathan Wood of Keswick lead the field to the start of the 15-lap feature event. VanderBeek sped to victory as Mike Van Genderen of Newton held off Matt Greiner of Washington and Brain Mitrisin of Oskaloosa after an exciting three-car battle throughout the race. Wood wound up fifth.

In the USRA Hobby Stock feature, Wes Almond of Oskaloosa and Dan Dyer of Ottumwa led the field to the green with Dyer taking the early race lead before Dale Porter of Pulaski made the pass in turns 1-2. Porter looked to have the field covered, but Bobby Greene of Eddyville ran down the leader and made the pass with only four laps remaining.

Greene took the win over Porter, who took a close second-place finish. T.J. Henderson of Douds took his career-best finish by claiming the third spot and Andy Coleman of Packwood was fourth ahead of Oskaloosa's Kris Walker.

The always-exciting back flip from Greene thrilled the crowd as he stuck the landing like an Olympic gold medalist.

To put an exclamation point on the night, Zack VanderBeek made the pass on fellow New Sharon racer Brad Pinkerton in the MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified feature to take his second win of the evening. The post-race celebration was extra special as daughter Addison was in victory lane to get her picture taken with mom, Carrie, and dad for the first time.

Pinkerton took the second spot with Richie Gustin Jr. of Gilman third after a hard-fought battle with fourth-place finisher Scott Dickey of Packwood. David Holder of Clarence, Mo., rounded out the top-5 finishers.

The Southern Iowa Speedway will be invaded by the high-powered Modifieds of the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour on Tuesday night, May 19, with NASCAR superstars Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace in competition. Also on the racing card will be the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks.

Pits gates will swing open at 5:00 with grandstand gates opening at 5:30. Hot laps begin at 7:00 and the first heat race will take the green flag at 7:30. Adult tickets are $15, kids ages 6-12 are just $5 and children under 6 get in for free.

Fans can pick up $2-off discount coupons on race day at all three Casey's General Store locations in Oskaloosa.

There will be an open practice for drivers in all classes on Monday night from 6:00 to 9:15. Pit admission is $15 while admission to the grandstands is free of charge.

With next week's big blockbuster event on Tuesday, there will be no weekly racing on Wednesday night.

NEW USRA SOUTHERN LIMITED MODIFIED SERIES TO SUPPORT USMTS SOUTHERN SERIES EVENTS

HOUSTON, Texas (April 21) – Officials from the United States Racing Association (USRA) and the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) announced today that the USRA will sanction a new series for Limited Modifieds that will join the full-blown, mud-slinging outlaw-style Modifieds of the USMTS Southern Series as they travel throughout Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.

Licensed drivers competing in the USRA Southern Limited Modified Series will battle for a separate points fund that will pay the top-10 spots at season's end, including $1,000 to the series champion, $600 for second, $400 for third, $300 for fourth, $250 for fifth, $200 for sixth, $175 for seventh, $150 for eighth, $125 for ninth and $100 for tenth.

Furthermore, those same drivers will also earn national points for the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mod class in the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series, which also pays 10 positions and awards $1,000 to the champion.

A license will not be required to compete in the USRA Southern Limited Modified Series, but drivers must have a valid USRA license in order to earn points and be eligible for points funds. The cost of a license is $90 and is good for all events.

Each event will pay a minimum of $500 to win. A $25 entry fee at each event will go directly into the points fund for the USRA Southern Limited Modified Series.

The first race for the USRA Southern Limited Modified Series will happen on Friday, April 24, when the USMTS Southern Series invades the Texarkana 67 Speedway in Texarkana, Ark.

The season finale for both groups will be the 3rd Annual Texas Winter Nationals at the Houston Raceway Park in Baytown, Texas, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3-5.
