ECKRICH, MAHLSTEDT, PINKERTON, GILLENWATER, ROTHZEN, ST. CLAIR, SCHULTE TAKE HOME MEMPHIS NATIONALS LAURELS
by Brian Neal

MEMPHIS, Mo. (Oct. 15, 2005) -- The final night of the inaugural Memphis Nationals at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway saw 226 race cars return in hopes of taking home the big prize. Andy Eckrich (Super Late Models), Dean Mahlstedt (USRA Modifieds), Brad Pinkerton (USRA Stock Cars), Jim Gillenwater (USRA B-Modifieds), Brandon Rothzen (USRA Hobby Stocks), Michael St. Clair (Cruisers) and Tyler Schulte (Hornets/Pony Stocks) all took home the big paychecks in front of a standing-room-only crowd.

The first feature of the night was the 12-lap Hornet feature, with Joe Zrostlik and David Lorton leading the field to the drop of the green flag. Zrostlik jumped out front on lap 1, with Lorton and John Brown battling for second. Tyler Schulte, who started seventh, moved up quickly to challenge Zrostlik for the top spot. Schulte was able to slip by Zrostlik on lap 6 and then held him off on the final 6 laps to take the win and the $300 check back to Montrose, IA. Rob Chase came from 9th to finish in third, Dennis Schulte came home in fourth, with Joe Evans coming from 11th to round out the top five.

Michael St. Clair and Dave Hudson made up the front row for the 12-lap Cruiser feature, with St. Clair grabbing the lead on the start. St. Clair went on to lead all 12 laps to claim the $300 top prize. Bill O'Haver came home second, third went to Craig Spilker, with Keith Reed in fourth, and fifth going to Tony Schulte after starting fourteenth.

The 15-lap Hobby Stock feature was up next, with Jake Wenig and Ben Moudry leading the field to the green. Moudry would take advantage of his front row start to take the lead on lap 1. Moudry then held the top spot until lap 9, when John Oliver Jr. slipped by for the lead. Oliver Jr. would hold off Moudry over the final 6 laps to cross the finish line in first. However, after going through post-race technical inspection, Oliver, second-place finisher Moudry and fourth-place finisher Brian Clark were disqualified. So going home with the $700 check was third-place finisher Brandon Rothzen. Jake Wenig was moved to second, third went to Dan Wenig, fourth to Chris Wibbell, who started 15th, with Robert Brown coming from 22nd to finish in fifth.

Tony Dunker and Wyatt Lantz led the field to the drop of the green in the 15-lap B-Modified feature, with Lantz jumping out front on lap 1. Lantz had built a good lead over second place Jim Gillenwater, when the caution came out on lap 8. Lantz would hold off Gillenwater on the restart, but Gillenwater would slip by on lap 10 to take over the top spot. Gillenwater then went on to lead the final 5 laps to claim the win and the $1,000 top prize that went with it. Lantz settled for second, Jerry Poor was third, Jeff Waterman was fourth, with Bob Woodrow rounding out the top five.

Up next was the 20-lap Stock Car feature, which had Jason Cook and Brad Pinkerton on the front row. Cook would move out front on lap 1, with Pinkerton close behind in second. Pinkerton worked the middle of the track to grab the lead away from Cook on lap 6. Cook, who was running the bottom, and Pinkerton, who was in the middle, ran the final 14 laps side by side. Pinkerton would hold off Cook at the line to pick up the win and the $2,000 check. Mike Harwood finished in third, Shane Weller was fourth, with Matt Greiner coming from 14th to round out the top five.

Tony Fraise and Dean Mahlstedt led the field to the drop of the green in the 30-lap Modified feature, with Fraise moving out front on lap 1. Fraise would only hold the top spot until lap 2, when Mahlstedt jumped to his outside to take over the lead. Mahlstedt maneuvered through lapped traffic over the final half of the race to go on and pick up the win. The Garner, Iowa driver's win was worth $5,000, and may have been his biggest of his racing career. Mark Burgtorf came home second, Bruce Hanford was third, Brad Pinkerton came from 12th to finish in fourth, with Kevin Cale coming home in fifth.

The final event of the night was the 40-lap Super Late Model feature. Matt Furman and Andy Eckrich made up the front row for the feature, with Eckrich grabbing the lead on lap 1. Eckrich would survive a late race caution to hold off Brian Harris and take home the $5,000 paycheck. John VanDenBerg came home third, Tommy Elston came from 11th to finish in fourth, with Rob Moss rounding out the top five.

Coming up next weekend, October 21-22, will be the season finale for both the O'Reilly USMTS and the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway. On Friday, October 21, the O'Reilly USMTS Modifieds will be racing for $2,000 to win while the Stock Cars will be going for $300 to win, B-Modifieds and Hobby Stocks for $200 and the Cruisers and Hornets/Pony Stocks for $100 to win. Then on Saturday, October 22, the O'Reilly USMTS Modifieds will be going for $3,000 to win with the Stock Cars going for $1,200 to win, B-Modifieds and Hobby Stocks for $500, Cruisers for $250 and Hornets/Pony Stocks for $200 to win.

FRAISE, COOK, DUNKER, WENIG, ZROSTLIK, ST. CLAIR TAKE OPENING NIGHT WINS AT MEMPHIS NATIONALS

MEMPHIS, Mo. (Oct. 13, 2005) -- A record 176 cars and drivers in six classes jam-packed the pit area Thursday for the opening night of the inaugural Memphis Nationals at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo.

The top six cars from each A-main were locked into their respective main events for Saturday night's finale at the 3/8-mile high-banked dirt oval.

With 51 USRA Modifieds in action, 2005 track champion Tony Fraise of Donnellson, Iowa, continued his dominance on the Memphis clay with a victory in the "A" main. Michael Long of Quincy, Ill., took the runner-up spot, followed by Dean Mahlstedt of Garner, Iowa, in third, Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Ill., fourth and Darin Thye of Burlington, Iowa, in fifth. Jesse Stovall of Galena, who captured a win with the O'Reilly USMTS last month in Bolivar, started 18th in the field but passed 12 cars en route to finishing sixth and taking the final transfer spot into Saturday's main event.

Jason Cook of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, started ninth in the USRA Stock Car feature, but battled his way to the front to score the victory Thursday night. Michael Browning of Edina, Southern Iowa Speedway track champion T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa, Troy Alexander of Memphis and West Point, Iowa's Ryan Cook completed the top-5 finishers. Veteran door-slammer pilot Steve Jackson of Des Moines, Iowa, captured the sixth and final transfer spot.

The USRA B-Modified feature race went to Tony Dunker of Quincy, Ill. Jim Roach of Kahoka, Jerry Poor of Novelty, Jim Gillenwater of Keokuk, Iowa, Mark Massey of Worthington, Iowa, and Hallsville's Larry Winn finished second through sixth, respectively, to earn spots in Saturday's big dance.

Middletown, Iowa's Jake Wenig raced from his seventh starting spot to take the checkers in the USRA Hobby Stock feature race. Brian Clark of Kahoka was second, John Oliver Jr. of W. Burlington, Iowa, raced from 18th to finish third, Jim Lynch of Bonaparte, Iowa, was fourth, Brandon Rothzen of Media, Ill., took fifth and Beau Taylor of Canton garnered the sixth and final transfer spot into the Saturday night main event.

In the Hornet/Pony Stock class, Joe Zrostlik of Eldridge, Iowa, took the win, followed by John Brown of Huntsville, Dennis Schulte of Keokuk, Iowa, Tyler Schulte of Montrose, Iowa, Rob Chase of Clark, and Jacksonville's Joe Evans.

Wayland's Michael St. Clair steered to victory in the Cruiser "A" main, with Craig Spilker of Quincy, Ill., Matt Jackson of Lancaster, Keith Reed of Fowler, Ill., John Peterson of Oquawka, Ill., and Daniel Robbins of Greentop rounding out the top-6 drivers across the finish line.

Thursday night's record car count of 176 is expected to be shattered Friday night. In addition to 30 additional pre-registered drivers who missed Thursday but plan to race Friday, the Super Late Models will also join Friday's line-up with more than 40 cars pre-entered in that class.

Pit gates will open at 3 p.m. with grandstand tickets going on sale at 4 p.m. Hot laps are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. with racing to follow.

Grandstands tickets are $12 for adults and $4 for kids (ages 6-12). Children under 6 are admitted FREE. Pit passes are $25.

MEMPHIS, Mo. (Oct. 7, 2005) -- As of Thursday, Oct. 6, there have been 130 drivers who have pre-entered for next weekend's inaugural Memphis Nationals at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo.

"We have held several special events at Memphis, as well as other tracks this season," said promoter Todd Staley. "Throughout those shows, pre-entered drivers have been about 50 percent of the actual number of registered drivers come race day. If that holds true next weekend, we could see more than 200 cars come through the pit gates."

Due to the enormous response to this event, Staley also announced that the pre-entry deadline has been extended through Wednesday, Oct. 12, where drivers can register at the open practice being held at the facility.

WHITNEY LOGS LABOR DAY CLASSIC WIN AT CRESCO
by Paul Pittman

CRESCO, Iowa (Sept. 5, 2005) -- Travis Whitney logged another very successful weekend with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series by picking up the Labor Day Classic win at the Cresco Speedway on Sunday, completing a sweep of the holiday weekend events.

Mother Nature did her part for the race by providing near perfect conditions for racing. High clouds and low winds kept the previous day’s rain in check and provided a track that would maximize the efforts of drivers in time trials.

Scott Young bested a stout field of 35 cars by establishing a new track record of 13.415 seconds.

Heat race winners included Kailey Gharst, Skip Jackson, Todd Hepfner and Todd King.

Dave Uttech would take the B-Main, which included an incident that claimed the top four cars. Near the halfway point, leader Tim St. Arnold slid hard in turn four to avoid hitting a slowing car, which resulted in a flip of the #7W sprinter. During the fracas, Larry Ball Jr., Jason Johnson and Billy Balog attempted to take evasive action which resulted in the trio up against the outside retaining wall. Only Johnson would go on to finish, but out of contention at that point.

Mike Kertscher took command early in the 25-lap A-main, and set a blistering pace that saw him begin lapping cars by lap 4. Travis Whitney was also on the move, up to third in the same amount of time.

Action slowed on lap 6 when Todd Hepfner spun in turn 3, however four lapped cars between Kertscher and Whitney would provide a buffer for the leader on the restart.

Whitney would clear the traffic on the restart, however, Kertscher continued recording lightening fast laps and by lap ten, was in lapped traffic again.

Lap 12 saw the red flag for Hefpner in turn 2. Hepfner was not hurt, but retired the #28 from the event.

Damage to Kertscher’s wing as a result of incidental contact with debris from Hepfner’s flip, would give hope to his pursuers and by lap 14, Whitney was up to second, setting Kertscher up for a pass for the lead on lap 19.

Kertscher would hold on to second while Skip Jackson’s late-race charge from his 10th starting spot would find him crossing the finish line third.

NOTE: Sunday's event brought down the curtain on the 2005 season at the Cresco Speedway. Banquet information will be announced in the near future. For more information, visit us online at www.CrescoSpeedway.com.

(Sept. 3, 2005) -- It was Cunningham Fertilizer Season Championship Night at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway, with the 2005 USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series points coming to an end. Tony Fraise (USRA Modifieds), Jason Cook (USRA Stock Cars), Jack Evans Jr. (USRA B-Modifieds), Tony Becerra (USRA Hobby Stocks), Dave Hudson (Cruisers) and Dennis Schulte (Hornets) were crowned the 2005 track champions at the end of the evening, which saw Fraise, Troy Alexander, Tony Dunker, Jeff Soper, Craig Spilker and Brandon Savage take home feature wins.

The evening started off with the 10-lap Cruiser feature. Craig Spilker came into the night with a shot at the title, and he would start off by grabbing the lead on lap 1 of the feature. Spilker would go on to lead all 10 laps to claim his third win in a row at Memphis. Michael St. Clair was second, Dave Hudson started 10th and worked his way up to third, which also helped him pick up the 2005 track title. Jeremy Buss was fourth, with Keith Reed coming home in fifth. Hudson and St. Clair picked up the heat race wins.

Up next was the 12-lap Hornet feature, with 22 cars taking to the track. Don DeMint and Rob Hammel led the field to the drop of the green flag, but it was fourth-place starter Brandon Savage taking the lead on lap 1. Savage, Dennis Schulte, who had already clinched the 2005 track championship, and Tyler Schulte who started tenth battled for the top spot until lap 8. Savage would take the lead and then held off Tyler and Dennis through heavy lapped traffic to pick up his fifth win of the season at the speedway. John Oliver III came home fourth, with Don DeMint holding on for fifth. Heat race winners were Savage, T. Schulte and Travis DeMint.

The 12-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature turned out to be a battle down to the checkered flag. Mark Holt and Jeff Soper drew the front row for the event, with Soper moving out front on the drop of the green flag. Brian Howerton would slip under Soper on lap 2 to take over the top spot, but Soper would come back the next lap to get the lead back. Howerton wouldn't give up easy, as he took the lead back from Soper on lap 5 and looked to be heading for his first career feature win. But Soper had other ideas, as he slipped by Howerton on lap 9 to take back the top spot. Soper then held off Howerton over the final three laps to claim his first win of 2005 at Memphis, after sitting out most of the summer with back problems. Mike Shelton came home third, with Tony Becerra following in fourth, which helped him clinch the 2005 Track Title. While Justin Hamelton came from 14th to round out the top 5. Howerton, Soper and Shelton took home the heat race wins.

Tyler Lewis and Tony Dunker lead the field to the drop of the green flag in the 12-lap USRA B-Modified feature, with Dunker taking the lead on lap 1. Dunker would hold the top spot until lap 3, when Ron York slipped under him for the lead. York was able to hold off Dunker's challenges until lap 11, when he slipped under him coming out of two to take the lead. Dunker then held off York on the final lap to pick up his third win of 2005 at the track. Jack Evans Jr., who had already clinched the USRA B-Modified Title a week ago, would finish in third, Jerry Poor came from ninth to finish in fourth, with Logan Trueblood coming home in fifth. Heat race winners were Dunker and Poor.

The 15-lap USRA Stock Car feature was the next to take to the track, with Bert McDaniel and Chris Hawkins making up the front row. On the first lap, Michael Browning would get into the back of McDaniel and spin him coming off of four, sending both drivers to the back. On the restart Hawkins would grab the lead and then held it until lap 3, when Troy Alexander, who started eighth, slipped by for the top spot. Alexander then held off Ryan Cook, who started 12th, and Jason Cook, who came into the evening as the 2005 Track Champion, to pick up his fifth win of 2005 at Memphis. Hawkins held on for fourth, with Browning coming back after the lap 1 accident to finish in fifth. Browning, Shane Weller and J.Cook each picked up a heat race win.

The 20-lap USRA Modified feature was the final event of the night, with the Modifieds being the only track title riding on the result. Mark Burgtorf, the 2004 Champion, came into the night only 16 points behind Tony Fraise. Burgtorf would get the advantage over Fraise in the feature, as he drew the pole. Burgtorf made the most of his starting spot, as he took the lead on the drop of the green flag. But Fraise would follow him in second and would then challenge him several times for the top spot. Fraise would wrestle the lead from Burgtorf on lap 17 and then held on for his second win in a row, which also gave him the 2005 track title. Lynn Monroe would come from seventh to third, Kevin Cake came from 8th to fourth, with Brandon Banks finishing a season high fifth at the speedway. Heat race winners were Fraise, Burgtorf and Michael Long.

Coming up next at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway will be the Pepsi-Mt.Dew Mid-America Nationals on Oct. 21-22. This event will be the season finale for the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series.

VANDERBEEK, PINKERTON, MATHER WIN COCA-COLA SEASON CHAMPIONSHIPS AT OSKALOOSA; STEWART, CRISS, MATHER CROWNED TRACK CHAMPS
by Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 31, 2005) -- Racing action was held on the final day of August with Mother Nature trying to spoil the racing program, but the rain went to the south of the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway so the Coca-Cola Season Championships were held with a complete night of racing with drivers battling for the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series.

Coming into the night, Colt Mather of Webster was crowned the USRA Hobby Stock track champion before the racing program started, along with Oskaloosa driver T.J. Criss, who took the USRA Stock Car title before the night began. The USRA Modified track champion wasn't decided until Wednesday night with Steve Stewart of Washington coming in with a 21-point lead over Oskaloosa driver Ron VerBeek.

The first feature of the night saw the USRA Hobby Stocks in action with Robert Rupprecht of Oskaloosa taking the early race lead with Randy Veldhuizen also from Oskaloosa running second. The battle for the top sot heated up with two- and three-wide racing as Tyler Ford of Lovillia battled with Rupprecht and Veldhuizen with caution flying on lap 8 for Veldhuizen's machine making contact with the front stretch wall, ending his night with suspension damage. On the restart, Rupprecht led them to turn 1 but Mather motored past the leader, who was experiencing mechanical problems that dropped him back into the pack. Mather led the final seven laps for the win after starting 12th. The second spot went to Rick Landgrebe of Sigourney with Joe Ferguson of Tracy taking his best finish in third and Chase Mitrisin of Oskaloosa taking fourth.

The second feature was the USRA Stock Car main event with Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon leading all 18 laps for the win, holding off Criss. The battle for the third spot was a good one with three- and sometimes four-wide racing with Lorne Parks of Ottumwa and Brandon Bandstra of Lynnville going wheel to wheel before Brian Edel of Oskaloosa, Mark Steinke of Gibson and Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa raced for the third position. Parks' machine lost a motor and Bandstra had mechanical troubles as well, ending both drivers' chance of a top-5 finish. The third spot went to Mitrisin, followed by Steinke in the fourth position.

The final feature of the night was the USRA Modifieds with Mike Hughes of Rose Hill leading the first 15 laps before a flat right rear tire ended his chance for the win. This turned the race lead over to Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, who took the win with Stewart taking the second spot and earning the 2005 USRA Modified track championship. Young Jake Neal of Omaha, Neb., started in the seventh position and took third with Oskaloosa driver Roger Baxter taking the fourth spot.

The 2005 points racing action is done. The next two races to cap off the season will be Sept. 16-17 with the Musco Lighting Fall Challenge featuring the O'Reilly Auto Part United States Modified Touring Series, with a large field of cars expected.

IRA OUTLAW SPRINT SERIES TO INVADE CRESCO FOR ANNUAL LABOR DAY CLASSIC

CRESCO, Iowa (Aug. 31, 2005) -- This Sunday, Sept. 4, the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Car Series returns to the Cresco Speedway for what has exploded into one of the most popular and hotly-contested annual sprint car shows in the Midwest.

For fans of the fire-breathing 410 winged sprints, the year-long wait was extended another year by last season's rain-out of the Labor Day Classic.

But have no fear, relief is in sight!

More than 40 entries are expected for Sunday's shootout at the 4/10-mile Cresco, Iowa, speedplant, including two-time defending Labor Day Classic winner Ricky Logan, as well as the regular winged warriors of the traveling IRA circuit. In addition, many of the top guns competing at the Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway season championship on Saturday have indicated their plans to head north and tackle the much-ballyhooed Cresco clay.

In the IRA's 2003 visit to Cresco, 41 cars signed in to do battle with Brian Brown clocking a new (and still current) track record with a blistering time of 13.485 seconds in time trials. With the track being faster and smoother than ever before, Brown's mark is likely in jeopardy of being shattered this weekend.

Two-time Labor Day Classic winner Joe Roe, who currently sits third in the IRA points standings, will be looking to capture another crown, along with current IRA points leader Scotty Neitzel. Scott Young sits second in the IRA points, and is coming off a win at the IRA's most recent race in Oshkosh, Wis.

In addition to the Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Car Series, fans will get a taste of the action that made the Cresco Speedway the most exciting track in Iowa in 2005 as the USRA Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks, Street Stocks and Hornets will also be in action.

Gates will open at 4 p.m. on Sunday, with hot laps slated for 6 p.m. Time trials are set to begin at 6:30, and fans are encouraged to arrive early to get the best seats possible.

General admission adult tickets are just $15, with kids ages 6-12 admitted for $5. As always at Cresco, children ages 5 and under are admitted FREE.

The Cresco Speedway is located 0.2 mile north of SR 9 on SW 7th (at the Howard County Fairgrounds). For more information, call 515-832-7944. For race day weather information, call 563-547-4996.

KONKEL, PANOS, ANDERSON, WAGNER, YOHN TAKES CRESCO CHECKERS; TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS TO KONKEL, SCHMITT, HOLTHAUS, SPLIDE, DWYER

CRESCO, Iowa (Aug. 28, 2005) -- H & S Motors presented the Season Championships on Sunday at the Cresco Speedway, with three track champions being crowned in the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series, along with the Street Stocks and Hornets.

Coming into Sunday night's program, Ron Konkel of Caledonia, Minn., needed to simply take the green flag to secure the 2005 track championship in the USRA Modified division. Not only did Konkel take the green flag in the 20-car main event, but he led all 20 laps to take his fourth checkered flag of the season and lock up the title. O'Reilly USMTS invader Kelly Shryock came up a few feet short of picking up the win, while Karl Fenske took third. Ryan York and Kerry Ledebuhr completed the top 5 finishers.

On the strength of his nine feature wins this season, Tom Schmitt of Independence had already wrapped up the 2005 Cresco Speedway track championship in the USRA Stock Cars before the night began. Schmitt would not get his tenth win on Sunday, however, as Protivin's Lynn Panos bagged his first win of the year in the season finale. Shay Curtin finished second, followed by Brian Gjere, Schmitt and Tory Reicks.

In USRA Hobby Stock action, Dillon Anderson of Decorah won his second feature in a row,  coming from the eighth starting spot. Kevin Leiran finished second after starting on the pole, with Sam Wenthold taking third.

Trailing points leader Steve Holthaus by 40 points entering the night, Ben Moudry finished fourth in the main event. However, Holthaus stayed glued to Moudry's bumper and finished fifth to secure the 2005 USRA Hobby Stock track championship at his home track.

Carissa Wagner of Monona captured her second Street Stock feature win Sunday, racing from sixth on the starting grid, and holding off tenth-starting Curtis Engen of Monona for the win. Brandon Hare was third at the flagstand, with fourth going to Austin Curtin. Scott Splide, who had clinched the Street Stock track championship one week earlier, finished fifth.

In the Hornet main event, Alex Yohn of Clear Lake held off Paul Bakke for the win. Third place went to Adam Ewing, with Cresco's Chris Gooder finishing fourth. Steve Dwyer of La Crosse, Wis., who had clinched the Hornet track championship one week earlier, finished fifth.

Next Sunday, Sept. 4, Kabrick Distributing presents the IRA Outlaw Sprint Car Series at the Cresco Speedway. This annual event is one of the most thrilling races on the IRA schedule as the fire-breathing 410 sprint cars tackle the lightning-fast Cresco oval.

All six classes saw repeat winners pick up the feature wins, as Tony Fraise (USRA Modifieds), Bert McDaniel (USRA Stock Cars), Jack Evans Jr. (USRA B-Modifieds), Abe Huls (USRA Hobby Stocks), Craig Spilker (Cruisers) and Tyler Schulte (Hornets) claimed the wins in their respective classes.

The first feature to take to the track was the 15 lap USRA B-Modifieds, with Robbie Reed and Logan Trueblood drawing the front row for the event. But it was third place starter Jim Gillenwater jumping into the lead on lap 1. Gillenwater would pull away from the field, as Jack Evans Jr., who started 8th was working his way towards the front. Gillenwater's lead would go away on lap 12, when the caution came out. On the restart Evans Jr. would jump to the outside of Gillenwater to over take the top spot. Evans Jr. then went on to score his eighth feature win of 2005 at Memphis. Gillenwater settled for second, third went to Reed, John Shaffer was fourth, with Jeff Waterman coming from ninth to round out the top 5. Ron York and Evans Jr. would pick up the heat race wins.

Craig Spilker and Keith Reed led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 10 lap Cruiser feature, with Spilker grabbing the lead on lap 1. Spilker would lead all 10 laps and held off Dave Hudson, who came from sixth, to pick up his second win in a row at the speedway. Jeremy Buss was third, fourth went to Tony Schulte, with Matt Jackson coming home in fifth. Heat race winners were Schulte and Spilker.

Up next was the 12 lap USRA Hobby Stock feature, with Brad Weber and Abe Huls on the front row foe the event. Huls would take advantage of his front row start to move out front on lap 1. Huls would hold the top spot until lap 3, when Jim Lynch slipped by on the bottom to take the lead. But Huls would return the move the next lap to take back the lead and then held off Lynch over the next 8 laps to claim his third win of the season at Memphis. Mike Shelton would finish in third, Mark Holt was fourth, with Jimmy Hayes coming from 11th to round out the top five. Lynch, Brian Howerton and Brian Clark picked up wins in the heat races.

The next feature to take to the track was the 10 lap Hornets, with J.D. Murphy and Dave Burdette leading the field to the green. Tyler Schulte would edge Burdette at the line by inches to grab the lead on lap 1 and then held off Dennis Schulte, who started ninth, to pick up his third win of 2005 at the speedway. Travis DeMint came 7th to finish in third, Don DeMint finished fourth after starting tenth, with Jim Hamilton coming from 11th to round out the top five. Heat race winners were Tyler and Dennis Schulte.

The 18 lap USRA Stock Car feature was the next event to take to the speedway, with Bert McDaniel and Shane Weller making up the front row. McDaniel would make the most of his starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1. McDaniel would go on to lead all 18 laps and held off several challenges from Troy Alexander, who started 8th, to claim his second win in a row at Memphis. Weller held on for third, Jason Cook was fourth, with Mark Holt coming home in fifth. McDaniel and David Boas claimed the heat race wins.

The final feature of the night was the 20 lap USRA Modifieds, and what a feature event it turned out to be. Lynn Monroe and Bob Dale lead the field of twenty-two to the drop of the green flag, but it was Tony Fraise coming from third to take the lead on lap 1. Fraise would hold the top spot until lap 7, when Mark Burgtorf, who started 7th, jumped to the outside of him to take over the lead. Tony would try several times to get under Burgtorf over the next seven laps, but couldn't make the pass. So Fraise would move to the top of speedway on lap 15 and would then make the pass by Burgtorf to take the lead. Burgtorf wouldn't settle for second, as he tried Fraise high and low over the final five laps, but couldn't get it done. Fraise would go on to pick up his 7th win of 2005 at the speedway. Kevin Cale was third, Michael Long would come from 12th to finish in fourth, with Zack VanderBeek coming from tenth to round out the top five. Heat race winners were Burgtorf, Fraise and Long.

Coming up next week at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway will be Cunningham Fertilizer Season Championships. The battle for the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series will come to a close for the 2005 season, with Track Titles being awarded in the USRA Modifieds, USRA Stocks Cars, USRA B-Modifieds, USRA Hobby Stocks, along with the Cruisers and Hornets.

SEASON CHAMPIONS CROWNED AT PRITCHARD FAMILY AUTO STORES HANCOCK COUNTY SPEEDWAY

BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 26, 2005) -- Friday night at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway was K97 Radio Season Championship Night featuring the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series with 2005 track champions being crowned in all divisions.

John Madson of Britt led from start to finish in the USRA Hobby Stock feature with Calvin Lange of Humboldt finishing seventh -- right where he needed to win the championship. Lange beat Madson by one point in the final standings.

The USRA Modified feature saw Garner drivers Jeremy Mills and Brad Bakken enter the final points night with Mills holding a 10-point advantage in the standings. Mills started on the front row outside in the main event. Mills jumped into the early lead and raced side by side with Kelly Shryock of Fertile before Shryock secured the top spot. Kanawha's Ryan Ruter entered the battle and a five-lap position-swapping fight ensued between Shryock, Ruter and Mills. Ruter was able to move ahead of Shryock, then cruised on to the victory. Shryock finished second, with Dean Mahlstedt coming home third. Mills hung on for fourth to secure the 2005 track championship for the USRA Modifieds. Bakken, who started the main event in the fifth spot, had motor troubles and his night ended early in the feature race.

In the USRA Stock Car class, Larry Portis jumped into the early lead but suffered a flat left front tire and jumped off the track on lap 1. Portis returned to the track only to be involved in more action. After being tagged by another car, Portis' machine got sideways and rolled over on its top. John Pletcher, Kevin Paca, Tim Stupka and Corey Oftedahl all were involved in the accident, ending all drivers' night as three of the five cars had excessive body and frame damage. All drivers were all unhurt.

Kenneth Even worked his way through the field and into the second spot, but spun in turns 3-4 while trying to reel in leader Jeff Dolphin. From there, Dolphin sailed unchallenged the rest of the way to pick up the win.

Despite his earlier misfortunes, Portis secured the 2005 track championship for the USRA Stock Cars when he took the green flag to start the main event.

In B-Modified action, Kevin Knudson of Clear Lake held off Scott Manske of Algona for the victory. Algona's Jake Simpson struggled to a ninth-place finish, but it was good enough to clinch the 2005 track championship in the USRA B-Modified division.

In the Hornet class, Greg Birkhofer of Garner topped the Senior division feature while Trever Nelson of Garner won the Junior division portion. Season points titles went to Charles Gardner of Kanawha (Seniors) and Logan Staley of Webster City (Juniors).

Friday's event ended the regular season at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway. The track will be back in action for the three-day Fall Festival on Sept. 29, 30 and Oct. 1. The O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series will be the featured attraction, with all of the regular divisions in competition as well.

RL Promotions, Todd and Janet Staley, would like to thank everyone for their support this past season. Plans for the 2006 racing season will be announced soon.

STEWART, LANDGREBE SCORE FIRST WINS OF SEASON AT OSKALOOSA
by Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 24, 2005) -- Racing action was held at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway Wednesday evening for Carriker Ford Night featuring Modifieds, Stocks Cars and Hobby Stocks in the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series, along with the DTRA Dirt Trucks.

The first feature of the night was the 15-lap USRA Modified main event with Steve Stewart of Washington picking up his first win of the 2005 season and extending his points lead with next Wednesday being the only remaining points night of the season. Second spot went to Steven Blattler of Oskaloosa, who scored his first heat race win along with his best feature finish. Ron VerBeek of Oskaloosa was third and Barry Sandeman of Creston finished fourth.

With a 31-point lead going into next Wednesday's Coca-Cola Season Championship at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway, Stewart will need to finish 11th or better in the main event to guarantee himself the USRA Modified Track championship.

The second feature of the night saw the USRA Hobby Stocks in action with Steve Landgrebe of Oskaloosa leading all 15 laps for his first win of 2005. Landgrebe held off Steve Allen of Oskaloosa and Nathan Wood of Sigourney, who battled for the runner-up spot with Allen taking second. Rick Landgrebe of Sigourney placed fourth. Oskaloosa's Chase Mitrisin rounded out the top 5.

After the feature, Tyler Ford of Lovillia pulled to the claim area and wanted the motor of one of the top 5 finishers. After drawing the #3 spot, Wood became the claimee but refused the claim. The claim refusal disqualified Wood, moving the cars from fourth place on back up one spot.

Colt Mather of Webster finished a distant 11th, but good enough to secure himself the 2005 USRA Hobby Stock track championship.

The third feature event of the night went to Carl Moyer of Ankeny, who led all 15 laps for the win in the DTRA Dirt Truck contest. The battle for the second spot was a good one with three-wide racing before the caution flag flew for Sean Allen of Des Moines as his hood flew off, bringing the field to a green-white-checkered shootout. Moyer held off Rick Clark, who took second with rookie driver Matt Phillips in third and Bill Hull in fourth.

The fourth and final feature of the night was a thriller with three- and sometimes four-wide racing with Brandon Bandstra of Lynnville leading the Stock Car nightcap through lap 16 of the 18-lap event when last week's feature winner, Brian Edel, took the lead. Edel's machine suffered motor trouble on the last lap, however, causing several cars to make contact and sending the machines of Edel and Fremont's Jim Brown spinning off the track in turn 3.

T.J. Criss, who was running fourth with one lap to go, was able to power around turns 3-4 for the win. Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa was second with Mark Steinke of Gibson in third and Jeff Johnson of Indianola in fourth.

With his fourth win of the season, Criss secured the 2005 track championship for the USRA Stock Cars.

Next week's racing action will be the Coca-Cola Season Championships with all three regular USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series classes in action. Hot laps begin at 7 p.m. and racing action is scheduled to begin at 7:30.

HUGHES, EDEL, MATHER TAKE OSKALOOSA GAS & OIL CO. NIGHT CHECKERS AT OSKY
By Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 17, 2005) -- After a week off, the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway was back in action Wednesday with the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series. The evening was sponsored by Oskaloosa Gas & Oil Company, with three classes in action.

The first feature was the USRA Modified feature running 15 laps with Terry Walker of Riverside taking the race lead and leading until motor trouble ended his night. This turned the lead over to Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, who led through lap 14 when motor problems ended his night, turning the lead over to Mike Hughes of Rose Hill, who took the checkers with Rick Gustin of Marshalltown taking second after starting 12th. Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon finished third and Ron VerBeek of Oskaloosa was fourth.

The second feature was the USRA Hobby Stock main event going 15 laps with Ryan Lundy of Knoxville leading the way, but Colt Mather of Webster was working his way from the 24th starting spot and took the lead with four laps remaining to take his fourth straight win, keeping the streak alive. Lundy took second with Steve Landgrebe of Oskaloosa in third and Jimmy Hayes of Moravia winding up fourth.

The final event of the night was a thriller in the 18-lap USRA Stock Car feature with Brian Edel of Oskaloosa taking his first win of the 2005 season. The early part of the feature saw Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa and Lorne Parks of Ottumwa battle for the top spot with Mitrisin taking the lead. Several drivers battled for the lead with Jim Brown of Fremont in the hunt along with Brandon Bandstra of Lynnville and Brad Pinkerton. Pinkerton's #17p machine developed a smoking problem, causing the black flag to be displayed. This gave the lead to Edel who worked his way from the 14th starting spot for the win. Brown was second, followed by Bandstra in third and Mitrisin in fourth.

Next week's USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series action will be sponsored by Carriker Ford, with four classes in action as the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks will join the USRA Modifieds, Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks. Hot laps are at 7 p.m. and the racing action starts at 7:30.

SCHMITT CAPTURES USRA STOCK CAR NATIONALS; LANGE POCKETS HOBBY STOCK CASH

BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 12, 2005) -- Tom Schmitt took his front row starting spot to his advantage and led all 35 laps of the rain-plagued UNICOVER USRA Stock Car Nationals presented by Max Yield Friday at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway. Winning this event was the biggest payday for the Independence native, who races weekly at the Cresco Speedway. Schmitt pocketed $6,600 for the win.

The program was revamped after track officials canceled Thursday night’s preliminary event due to rain. A packed grandstand came out to witness some great racing action in all classes on Friday night. Sixty-five USRA Stock Cars returned for the racing action with another 30 USRA Hobby Stocks in attendance. The regular classes also raced on Friday night as part of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series. Fans got their money's worth as the Stock Car class alone ran 15 races.

The racing action kicked off with eight Stock Car heat races with the top two drivers advancing to the dash that would lock the top six drivers into the outside six rows of the main event. Picking up heat wins were Zack VanderBeek, Mike Bergan, Travis Thornton, Wade Eastman, Kevin Bidne, Shawn Peter, Brad Pinkerton and Mark Elliott. The top 16 drivers drew for starting spots in the dash, with Kenneth Even and Pinkerton taking the front row for the dash. The top six in the dash locked themselves into the main event, with seventh place getting a front row starting spot in a last chance race.

Even looked to be on his way to his first win of the season, but pushed up in turn 2 and let Pinkerton take the top spot. Pinkerton led the final three laps en route to the win, which gave him the front row outside starting spot in the main event. Even held on for a second-place finish with Jeff Nielsen coming from seventh for a third-place finish. VanderBeek moved up four spots from eighth, while Eastman and Jeff Dolphin rounded out the top six qualifiers. Bidne came from 15th in 12 laps to finish seventh.

Next up were four last chance races with the top three drivers from each advancing to make the 24-car starting field. After losing a day of racing on Thursday, and drivers not having a chance to make it into the show, promoter Todd Staley added two more drivers from an additional last chance race. Any driver finishing fourth through seventh would get one more chance to make it into the main event.

The first last chance race saw Bidne jump into the lead and pick up the win. A late race bump by another driver saw Scott Davis and Ryan Watnem take second and third spots. In the second last chance race, Elliott led all 12 laps with Andy Bruggeman and Jake Ludeking rounding out the top-3. Ludeking was also bumped on the last lap in turn 3, but retained his spot. In the third last chance race, Eric Flander jumped into the early lead from fourth, but lost that spot to Travis Thornton on lap 5. Some great side-by-side racing saw Flander and Thornton battle to the finish while Brian Gjere sat back and waited for a mistake by either driver. Gjere made his move and took the top spot on lap 10 en route to the win, with Flander second and Thornton third. The fourth and final last chance race saw Shawn Peter lead all 12 laps. Bobby Greiner Jr. and Mike Bergan rounded out the top-3.

This would give drivers one last chance to get in with the top two drivers filling the field with the 25th and 26th starting spots. John Pletcher and Dave Hubbard got the front row starting spots and Pletcher went into turn 3 a little hard, spinning out in front of the pack and taking out Jason Minnehan. The race restarted with Tom Hovey taking the top spot and a hard-charging Chad Palmer running the high side. Palmer eventually took the win with Hovey finishing second. A good race for the second spot between Hovey, Palmer and Jim Larson ended with Hovey taking the runner-up spot. Larson settled for third, ending his evening.

The field was finally set for the $6,600-to-win main event.

Only two yellows slowed the main event -- the first coming on lap 11 when the #20 car Jason Wagoner got into Bidne, sending both cars to the tail. The final yellow flew on lap 21 when Greiner was spun in some very tight racing action.

The racing action started with Schmitt pulling out to a 15-car-length lead, but some great racing was going on throughout the field. Tory Reicks took second spot away on lap 1, with Pinkerton dropping to third. By lap 5, Todd Foster had worked his way from fifth to third and was putting some heavy pressure on Reicks. By lap 8, Foster moved into second with Reicks falling back to third.

By this time Foster, was 15 car-lengths behind Schmitt. Another driver on the move was the "Riceville Rocket" Scott Bauer. Bauer had moved from seventh to third by lap 14. By this time, Pinkerton had backed up to sixth with Nielsen moving up from his sixth starting spot. After the caution, Foster did not let Schmitt get away and started putting some heavy pressure on Schmitt, pulling up beside him late in the race coming out of turn 2. Foster had a fast racecar and looked as if he would pick up the win, but hit the mud in the bottom of turns 3-4 and spun on lap 33. Foster kept his car moving and started flying through the infield, but got stuck in the muddy rain-soaked infield.

From there, Schmitt cruised on to the win with Pinkerton fighting his way back to second by the finish. Rounding out the top five were Even, Bauer and Nielsen.

In the Hobby Stock class, Brian Stein, who started the race from the front row outside after winning the dash earlier in the evening, jumped into the early lead with Mark Haglund running second. By lap 5, Calvin Lange had worked his way to second from his third row starting spot. Lange took the top spot on lap 10 and cruised on to victory the biggest win of his career.

Stein held on to second with Mike Shelton grabbing third. Rounding out the top 5 was Dan Haugland and Haglund. Picking up the win, Lange pocketed a $1,320 paycheck.

The Friday night dash saw Stein lead 12 laps as Haglund, Lange, Doug Siedl, Troy Woelber and Haugland rounded out the top-6. These six drivers lined-up outside the drivers that had already qualified on Wednesday.

In USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series action, Ryan Ruter picked up another win in the USRA Modified class after taking the top spot on lap 3. Brad Bakken, who led the first three laps, took the runner-up spot with points leader Jeremy Mills finishing third.

In the USRA B-Mod class, Kevin Knudson picked up another win with Logan Brown coming home second. Knudson jumped into the early lead from his front row starting spot and led all 12 laps. Brown, who started sixth, took the second spot by lap 5. Rounding out the top-5 were Jared Boumeester, Jake Simpson and Toby Boothroyd.

In the Hornet classes, Devin Fish picked up the win in the Junior Hornet class with Joe Zrostlik taking the top spot in the Senior Hornet class.

Racing will continue next Friday night when the O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series will makes its final stop at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway. Gates will open at 5 p.m. with hot laps slated for 7. Be sure to catch the racing action this Friday night as all the top drivers from several states expected for the racing action.

DAY 2 OF USRA STOCK CAR NATIONALS RAINED OUT; FULL SHOW SLATED FOR FRIDAY

BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 11, 2005) -- Day 2 of the three-day inaugural USRA Stock Car Nationals presented by Unicover, Casey’s General Store and Max Yield, scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 11 at the Pritchard Family Auto Hancock County Speedway, has been rained-out.

A complete show of qualifying heats and last chance races will precede the championship features on Friday. In addition to the USRA Stock Cars and USRA Hobby Stocks, Friday's jam-packed line-up will also feature the USRA Modifieds, USRA B-Modifieds and Hornets.

Grandstand general admission tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for kids ages 6-14, Children under 6 are admitted FREE. Pit passes are $25. Gates will open at 4 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30 and racing at 7.

On Wednesday, a field of 72 Stock Cars and 29 Hobby Stocks were on hand to do battle for the richest event ever staged at the 3/8-mile clay oval in Britt, Iowa. The top 6 finishers in Wednesday's main event advanced to the first six spots on the inside row of Friday's championship feature.

In Stock Cars, Tom Schmitt of Independence took the checkers and will start from the pole in Friday's championship feature. Tory Reicks, Todd Foster, Scott Bauer, Jon Snyder and Jason Wagoner rounded out the top-6 finishers that qualified for Friday's finale.

Local favorite Randy Hadacek of Britt captured Wednesday's Hobby Stock main event to earn the pole position for Friday's finale. Joining him will be Mike Shelton, Scotty Anderson, Grant Moline, Andy Altenburg and Jacob Murray.

Due to Thursday's rain-out, the purse has been prorated and will award 66% of the original prize money. Friday's Stock Car championship feature will now be $6,600 to win and $370 to start, while the Hobby Stock finale will pay $1,320 to win and $130 to start.

"After speaking with a lot of the drivers today, we came to the conclusion that this was the best way to get the show completed," said promoter Todd Staley. "Most of the drivers here are in the hunt for track championships in their local area, so extending the event through Saturday was not feasible. Also, many drivers traveled a lot of miles to be here. With fuel costs today and most of these guys having regular jobs during the week, postponing the show for a couple of weeks was not fair to them either."

Don't forget, it is also Hobo Days in Britt so there will be a lot of activities going on each day for the whole family. Get there early for the fun in Britt, then get to the track early to get the best seat possible.

ENTRY LIST FOR USRA STOCK CAR NATIONALS SWELLS TO NEARLY 100

BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 8, 2005) -- The “who’s who” of dirt Stock Car racing in the Midwest are gearing up for this week's clash at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway in Britt, Iowa, for the inaugural USRA Stock Car Nationals presented by Unicover, Casey’s General Store and Max Yield.

The event is the richest ever staged at the 3/8-mile clay oval, with a whopping $10,000 awaiting the winner of Friday night’s Stock Car finale, while the Hobby Stock winner will take home $2,000.

As of Monday, 83 drivers have pre-entered for this event including 60 Stock Car drivers and 23 in the Hobby Stocks. Several more last-minute arrivals are expected to push the number at or near 100 competitors for the Wednesday-Friday, Aug. 10-12 blowout.

Qualifying for one of the 24 starting spots in each of Friday’s main events will be a test of wills as the last-place finishers will earn a bigger paycheck than they can normally cash for winning a feature race. Stock Cars will pay $560 to start Friday’s 40-lap feature, while drivers taking the green flag in the 25-lap Hobby Stock finale are guaranteed $200.

An open practice for drivers to test and tune their machines is scheduled for Tuesday night, Aug. 9 from 6-9:30 p.m. Pit passes for the practice session will be $15, with free admission for grandstand spectators wishing to watch the pre-race testing.

Racing action will get underway on Wednesday night, Aug. 10 with the top six cars in both the Stock Car and Hobby Stock features getting locked into the inside row of Friday night’s main events. On Thursday night, the top six will lock themselves into the outside rows. Friday night will see last chance races to fill the final 12 starting spots.

Motel rooms in Forest City and Algona have confirmed some rooms available. However, lodging in nearby Clear Lake and Mason City are nearly sold out. Don't forget, it is also Hobo Days in Britt so there will be a lot of activities going on each day for the whole family.

Gates will open at 4 p.m. each night, with hot laps slated at 7 and racing to follow. Grandstand admission will be $12 for adults on Wednesday and Thursday, with Friday night’s finale $15. Kids ages 6-14 are $3 on Wednesday and Thursday, then $5 on Friday. Children ages 5 and under are admitted FREE all three nights. Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks will compete all three nights, with the USRA Modifieds, B-Modifieds and Hornets joining the program on Friday.

DUFFY TURNS BACK PITTMAN'S CHALLENGE AT CRESCO

CRESCO, Iowa (Aug. 7, 2005) -- The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series continued Sunday at the Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, with both familiar and first-time faces gracing victory lane. Darin Duffy (USRA Modifieds), Scott Bauer (USRA Stock Cars) and Justin Elsbernd (USRA Hobby Stocks) claimed the USRA-sanctioned feature wins, while Steve Gooder (Hornets) and Scott Splide (Street Stocks) were also victorious on the night.

In the USRA Modified main event, Kevin Pittman of Waterloo accepted the Budweiser Back Row Challenge and started last in the 20-car field. With five feature wins under his belt this season, Pittman's sixth would be worth an additional $700 to pull off the victory. From the drop of the green, Pittman thrilled the Cresco Speedway fans with precision passing as he moved through the field. When the checkered flag waved, Pittman had passed 18 cars, but had to settle for the runner-up position.

In Pittman's five wins this season, Darin Duffy of Hazleton had been the runner-up on four occasions. In total, he had accumulated five second-place finishes this year. But on Sunday, Duffy turned the tables as he motored to his first triumph of the season at the 3/8-mile oval from his seventh-place starting spot on the grid.

A trio of Winona, Minn., pilots rounded out the top-5 finishers with Karl Fenske coming home second, followed by Paul Hamernik and Kerry Ledebuhr. Ron Konkel finished sixth to hold on to his razor-thin points lead over Duffy in the USRA Modified title chase.

The USRA Stock Car feature race saw Scott Bauer of Riceville make his return to Cresco a successful one as he held off points leader Tom Schmitt of Independence for the win. Kevin Bidne of Decorah, Waucoma's Tory Reicks and Brian Gjere of Mabel, Minn., rounded out the top-5 finishers.

Justin Elsbernd of Des Moines charged from the 13th starting position to grab his sixth USRA Hobby Stock feature win of the season at Cresco. Ben Moudry of Protivin, points leader Steve Holthaus of Cresco, Patty Fosaaen of Waukon and Mitch Hovden finished in the second- through fifth-place positions.

Points leader Scott Splide of Ridgeway captured his eighth Street Stock main event victory of the season. Marc Banks of Waucoma, Jeremy Oakes of Spring Grove, Minn., Brandon Hare of Elma and Austin Curtin of Waukon completed the first five across the finish line.

Cresco's Chris Gooder ended Steve Dwyer's two-race win streak with his second Hornet triumph of the season. Ryan Happel of Holmen, Wis., finished second, with Adam Ewing of Monona third. Dwyer, from La Crosse, Wis., took home fourth-place money with Andy Stinson of Ridgeway taking fifth.

The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series will continue next Sunday, Aug. 14, at the Cresco Speedway with racing in all classes as the title chases head into the final summer stretch.

COOK, EVANS, BECERRA, HUDSON, ZROSTLIK CAPTURE CHECKERS IN MEMPHIS
by Brian Neal

MEMPHIS, Mo. (Aug. 6, 2005) -- Walker Motors Collision & Repair and Spilman Auto Parts presented the racing action at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway on Saturday, Aug. 6. The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series was back in action with Stock Cars, B-Modifieds and Hobby Stocks, along with the Cruisers and Hornets racing in support of the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series event. Going home with feature wins in their respective divisions were Jason Cook (USRA Stock Cars), Jack Evans Jr. (USRA B-Modifieds), Tony Becerra (USRA Hobby Stocks), Dave Hudson (Cruisers) and Joe Zrostlik (Hornets).

The 12-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature was the first to take to the Speedway, with Brian Clark and Mike Shelton leading the field to the drop of the green flag. Shelton took advantage of his starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1 with Clark in second. Shelton held the top spot until a restart on lap 4 when Tony Becerra jumped to Shelton's outside to take the lead. Becerra held off Shelton over the final eight laps to pick up his third win of the season at Memphis. Mark Holt charged from ninth to finish in third. Bob Lynch was fourth, with Justin Hamelton coming home in fifth. Shelton, Brandon Symmonds and Clark claimed wins in the heat races.

Dave Hudson and Michael St. Clair drew the front row for the 10-lap Cruiser feature, with Hudson jumping out front on lap 1. Hudson led all 10 laps to claim his third win of 2005 at Memphis. Jeremy Buss came from eighth to finish in second, Craig Spilker started seventh and finish in third and St. Clair held on for fourth, with Tony Schulte rounding out the top-5. Heat race winners were Buss and St.Clair.

Up next was the 10-lap Hornet feature with Brent Forest and Jim Hamilton leading the field to the green flag. Forest edged out Joe Zrostlik, Dennis and Tyler Schulte by inches to lead lap 1. Forest held the top spot for only one lap as Zrostlik slipped by for the top spot. Zrostlik, who made the three-hour haul to Memphis, went on to lead the final eight laps to pick up his first win of the season at the 3/8-mile oval. Dennis Schulte was second, Troy Schulte came from 12th to finish in third, Corrie Stott started 10th and finish fourth, with Forest coming home in fifth. Andrew Hustead and Zrostlik picked up the heat race wins.

The 15-lap USRA Stock Car feature saw Jason Cook take the pole, when scheduled pole-starter Mark White scratched. With Troy Alexander to his outside, Cook moved out front to lead lap 1 over Alexander and Matt Greiner. Cook went unchallenged to lead all 15 laps and claim his sixth win of 2005 at Memphis. Michael Browning came from sixth to finish in second, Alexander was third, Greiner was fourth, with Ryan Cook coming from ninth to round out the top-5. Heat race winners were Mark Holt and Alexander.

Wyatt Lantz and Logan Trueblood led the field to the start of the 15-lap USRA B-Modified feature, with Lantz moving out front on lap 1. Lantz held the top spot until a lap-12 restart turned out to be bad news for him. On the restart, Jack Evans Jr., who started eighth, jumped under Lantz to grab the top spot. Evans then held off Lantz on the final three laps to pick up his seventh win of the season at the Speedway. Jerry Poor was third, Jim Gillenwater was fourth, with Trueblood rounding out the top-5. Evans, Chris Larson and Trueblood claimed wins in the heat races.

CAMPBELL, HAGLUND TUNE-UP FOR “NATIONALS” WITH STOCK CAR, HOBBY STOCK VICTORIES

BRITT, Iowa (Aug. 5, 2005) -- The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series was back in action Friday at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway, with drivers in the Stock Car and Hobby Stock classes getting in a final tune-up before the upcoming USRA Stock Car Nationals at the 3/8-mile oval.

In Friday's USRA Stock Car action, John Campbell of Belmond scored his first win of the season at Britt, topping the 18-car field after starting ninth on the grid. Ryan Hiscocks, Craig Berhow, Jeff Dolphin and Chad Palmer rounded out the top-5 finishers.

Mark Haglund of Williams paid his first visit of the season to the Britt speedplant Friday, and went home with the winner's trophy in the USRA Hobby Stock main event after starting 13th in the field. Brent Hanson, John Madson, Chris Monson and Gary Lalor Jr. finished second through fifth in the main event.

In the USRA Modified main event, Jeremy Mills of Garner picked up his third win of the season and padded his points lead over fellow Garner pilot Brad Bakken, who finished second to Mills in Friday's "A" main. Third went to Todd Hanson, while Stacey Mills was fourth with Jeff Feaster finishing fifth.

T.J. Stalker of Mason City continued his recent string of top finishes with his second straight USRA B-Modified feature win, and fifth top-5 finish in five starts. Logan Brown, Travis Lain, Jake Simpson and Scott Manske completed the top-5 finishers.

In Hornet action, Cody Frerichs of Bristow topped the Junior main event while Ray Garza of Mason City captured the checkers in the Senior main event.

UP NEXT: The Midwest’s toughest Stock Car and Hobby Stock drivers will flex their muscles this Wednesday through Friday, Aug. 10-12, as the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway hosts the inaugural USRA Stock Car Nationals.

Co-sponsored by Unicover, Casey’s General Store and Max Yield, the event is the richest ever staged at the 3/8-mile clay oval. A whopping $10,000 awaits the winner of Friday night’s Stock Car finale, while the Hobby Stock winner will take home $2,000.

Qualifying for one of the 24 starting spots in each of Friday’s main events will be a test of wills as the last-place finishers will earn a bigger paycheck than they can normally cash for winning a feature race. Stock Cars will pay $560 to start Friday’s 40-lap feature, while drivers taking the green flag in the 25-lap Hobby Stock finale are guaranteed $200.

The “who’s who” of Stock Car racing are already registered for this instant classic, including Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon – a two-time winner of the $10,000-to-win Great American Stock Challenge at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa. Local ace Jeff Nielsen of Pocahontas, who picked up $1,200 at the Fourth of July special at Britt, will also be among the many contenders for the Stock Car title. Other drivers already pre-entered include Shay Curtin, Chad Palmer, Ryan Cook, Jason Cook, Craig Berhow, Larry Portis, Bobby Greiner Jr., Kevin Bidne, Rob Hughes, Dan Jones, Eric Flander, Shawn Peter, Brian Gjere, John Pletcher, Mike Bergan, Tom Schmitt, Joe Paullin, Scott Bauer, Lynn Panos, Luke Veren, Dave Hubbard, John Oliver, Jake Ludeking, John Campbell, Kevin Hoeft, Zack VanderBeek, Jared Dirks, Ryan Hiscocks, Jeff Dolphin, Travis Thornton and Rick Stockman.

An open practice for drivers to test and tune their machines is scheduled for Tuesday night, Aug. 9 from 6-9:30 p.m. Pit passes for the practice session will be $15, with free admission for grandstand spectators wishing to watch the pre-race testing.

Racing action will get underway on Wednesday night, Aug. 10 with the top six cars in both the Stock Car and Hobby Stock features getting locked into the inside row of Friday night’s main events. On Thursday night, the top six will lock themselves into the outside rows. Friday night will see last chance races to fill the final 12 starting spots.

Gates will open at 4 p.m. each night, with hot laps slated at 7 and racing to follow. Grandstand admission will be $12 for adults on Wednesday and Thursday, with Friday night’s finale $15. Kids ages 6-14 are $3 on Wednesday and Thursday, then $5 on Friday. Children ages 5 and under are admitted FREE all three nights. Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks will compete all three nights, with the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series featuring Modifieds, B-Modifieds and Hornets joining the program on Friday.

PINKERTON, CRISS, MOYER, MATHER SCORE CLUB HOUSE WINS AT CARRIKER FORD SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
by Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 3, 2005) -- It was an exciting Wednesday night with four classes of racing action at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway, sponsored by the Club House of Oskaloosa giving away all kinds of prizes, including six brand new bikes for the young race fans. While the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series was on hand, the Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks competed for regular track and national points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship, while the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks also thrilled the hearty crowd.

The first feature of the evening was the USRA Hobby Stock feature with Colt Mather of Webster taking his fourth straight win. Mather worked his way from the 10th spot to victory lane. Promoter Todd Staley impounded the motor to be inspected for any illegal parts. The engine was still being disassembled at this time of release. The second spot went to Steve Landgrebe of Oskaloosa along with Mike Shelton of Ottumwa third and Rick Landgrede of Sigourney in fourth.

The second feature was the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks with Bret Moyer of Polk City taking the win over his father, Carl Moyer of Ankeny, with Ben Nading of Ankeny in third and fourth going to Rick Clark of Des Moines.

The third feature of the night was the USRA Stock Car main event with points leader T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa leading all 18 laps for his third win of 2005 season. Criss held off Jim Brown of Fremont, who took second followed by last week's winner Brad Pinkerton, who started 10th. Lorne Parks of Ottumwa took fourth after running second for the first 14 laps before fading back.

The cars and stars of the O'Reilly USMTS put on a show with local racer Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon taking his first ever O'Reilly USMTS win in front of the home crowd. Pinkerton worked his way to the runner-up spot with 12 laps to go in the 30-lap feature, and took the lead from Mike Hejna of Clear Lake using the high side of the Speedway. Kelly Shryock of Fertile worked his way through the B-main to start 18th and took the second spot with Hejna taking third, followed by Tommy Myer of Blooming Prairie, Minn. in fourth with local driver Mike Hughes of Rose Hill in fifth after starting in the 16th starting spot.

HUGHES SCORES FIRST USRA MODIFIED WIN ON KBOE RADIO NIGHT AT SOUTHERN IOWA FAIR

Shannon Sherwood of Oskaloosa and Wood battled for the second spot with Sherwood taking second followed by Wood, Mike Shelton of Ottumwa and bobby Greene of Eddyville racing his way from 20th starting spot to finish fifth.

The final feature was the USRA Modified main event with Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon taking the early race lead. "The Z-Man" built a substantial lead over the field before a caution flag closed the field up when Shane Paris of Muscatine spun. On the restart, VanderBeek pace the field until lap 7 when Mike Hughes of Rose Hill closed in for the top spot, passing VanderBeek for the lead and pacing the final 13 laps for his first win of the 2005 season at Osky. Hughes did it in style, working his way from the 18th starting position. VanderBeek took second, followed by last week's feature winner, Ron VerBeek of Oskaloosa, taking third after starting 10th. Terry Walker battled his way from 12th to a fourth-place finish.

Next weeks racing action will feature the cars and stars of the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series and the Club House of Oskaloosa sponsoring the night, giving away six new bikes for six lucky kids. Hot laps are at 7 p.m. with racing action to follow at 7:30.

HEJNA WINS THIRD STRAIGHT NIGHT OF 1,000 STARS CROWN
by Jared Patterson, Mason City Globe Gazette

BRITT, Iowa (July 14, 2005) -- For years, one of the races Al Hejna coveted the most eluded him.

But the Clear Lake driver finally broke through two years ago by claiming the Night of 1,000 Stars Modified feature at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway.

He said winning one was hard enough, so he hardly expected a repeat last year.

Hejna, though, found himself in victory lane yet again giving him a chance at a three-peat on Thursday against some of the best Modified drivers in the nation.

"Even after last year, I didn't know if I could get another one," Hejna said. "I came in and drew the back of the heat but had a good run and got to the front. Then I drew No. 4 in the feature and then I thought I had a chance."

And next year he'll have a chance at his fourth-straight Night of 1,000 Stars victory.

Hejna passed Ryan Ruter of Kanawha with 16 laps remaining and never relinquished the lead as he pocketed the win and the $2,000 winning purse.

"This is one of the shows at the beginning of the season that we look forward to," he said. "It's not different than a USMTS show, they are all here. It's just as big as that."

The win capped off what would have been a forgettable week for Hejna.

On Tuesday night, he planned to race an O'Reilly USMTS show in Fort Dodge, but his hauler wouldn't run and missed the race.

"I'll travel nine hours to race, but I miss the one that's an hour and a half away," Hejna said.

Last night, he was running second in the O'Reilly USMTS stop at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa when a he lost a tire.

So entering Thursday, things were looking bleak for the Clear Lake driver.

But a win in his heat race and good starting spot turned his fortunes around.

Once he caught Ruter, who went on to finish second, the race turned into a flashback for Hejna.

Two years ago as he chased his first Night of 1,000 Stars win, he followed leader Pat Graham for a number of laps before he saw Graham's tires smoke.

He went on to pass him on the ensuing corner and held on for the win.

On Thursday, it was the exact same scenario.

Hejna saw Ruter's tires smoke coming out of turn 2 and by the time they went past the starter's stand, Hejna had the lead.

"That was my cue to plant it," Hejna said. "It was the exact same pass."

Hejna will be in action again tonight for the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway's weekly show but could pocket another $1,000 for a win as promoter Todd Staley bumped up the pay for this week's race.

But no matter what he does tonight, Hejna will always remember the night he won his third consecutive Night of 1,000 Stars title.

"Absolutely, this is one of the biggest shows every year for us," he said.

PINKERTON, MATHER PICK UP USRA WINS ON VICTORY CONSTRUCTION NIGHT AT CARRIKER FORD SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
by Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 13, 2005) -- Racing was held Wednesday at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway with the evening being sponsored by Victory Construction of Oskaloosa. The USRA Hobby Stocks and Stock Cars were in action for a regular night of points racing in the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series, along with the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series.

The first feature of the night was the USRA Stock Car feature with Rick Brown of Kellogg leading the first three laps before T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa took the lead in the 16-lap event. Criss led until lap 15 before Brad Pinkerton took the top spot by working the bottom side of the half-mile speedway. Pinkerton took his second straight win after starting in the 10th starting spot, with Criss taking a close second followed by Eric Flander of What Cheer in a hard-fought third-place battle with Lorne Parks of Ottumwa, who took home the fourth spot.

In the second feature of the night the USRA Hobby Stock main event was a marathon set for 15 laps but, cut to a 12-lap event due several spins and crashes. Nathan Wood of Sigourney took the early race lead and led through lap 3 before Colt Mather took the lead from Wood. On the fifth lap, Bobby Greene of Eddyville spun in turn 2, collecting Jason McDaniel of Eldon and Wood, along with last week's feature winner, Randy Veldhuizen of Oskaloosa. The cars of Wood, McDaniel and Greene all received heavy damage that ended the night for the three drivers, but all drivers walked away unhurt. When the race resumed, Mather paced the field the final seven laps for the win, followed by Rick Landgrebe of Sigourney in second and brother Steve Landgrebe of Oskaloosa in third, with Bill Gibson of Knoxville in fourth.

Next week's racing action at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway will feature three classes in action for the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series with the USRA Hobby Stocks, Stock Cars and Modifieds in action, sponsored by Arnold Motor Supply of Oskaloosa. Hot laps are at 7 p.m. and racing action is at 7:30.

PITTMAN, SCHMITT, ELSBERND, OAKES, DWYER BACK IN CRESCO WINNERS CIRCLE

CRESCO, Iowa (July 10, 2005) -- The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series continued Sunday at the Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, with familiar faces gracing victory lane on Schroeder Racing Products Night. Kevin Pittman (USRA Modifieds), Tom Schmitt (USRA Stock Cars) and Justin Elsbernd (USRA Hobby Stocks) claimed the USRA-sanctioned feature wins, while Steve Dwyer (Hornets) and Jeremy Oakes (Street Stocks) were also victorious on the night.

In the USRA Modified main event, Kevin Pittman of Waterloo captured his fourth feature win of the season. Ron Konkel of Caledonia, Minn., took the runner-up spot to maintain the points lead. Darrin Walch of Postville, Shawn Ryan of Waterloo and Darin Duffy of Hazleton completed the top-5 finishers.

The USRA Stock Car feature race saw Tom Schmitt of Independence pad his points lead with his sixth triumph of the 2005 racing season. Brian Gjere of Mabel, Minn., was second, with Jason Schlangen of Cresco, Tom Hovey of Decorah and Lynn Panos of Protivin rounding out the top-5.

Justin Elsbernd of Des Moines charged from the 10th starting position to grab his fourth USRA Hobby Stock feature win of the season at Cresco. Steve Holthaus of Cresco, Kevin Donlan of Decorah, Dillon Anderson of Decorah and Ben Moudry of Protivin finished in the second- through fifth-place positions.

Jeremy Oakes of Spring Grove, Minn., captured his first Street Stock main event victory since opening night on April 17 by holding off Scott Spide of Ridgeway, and ending Spide's three-race win streak. Brandon Hare of Elma finished third, followed by Marc Banks of Waucoma in fourth and Nick Schwebach of Caledonia, Minn., in the fifth spot.

Steve Dwyer of LaCrosse, Wis., continued his domination of the Hornet division with seventh win in 11 starts at the Cresco speedplant.

The final feature of the night was the 20-lap USRA Modified feature, with Ron VerBeek and Mark Burgtorf on the front row for the start.

PRITCHARD FAMILY AUTO STORES HANCOCK COUNTY SPEEDWAY GEARING UP FOR 11TH ANNUAL HARRIS AUTO RACING “NIGHT OF 1,000 STARS”

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (July 7, 2005) -- The “Night of 1,000 Stars” has been a mid-summer tradition at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway since 1994. In 2005, this mega-event will continue with new promoters Todd and Janet Staley.

The only thing that has changed is the date -- the 11th Annual Harris Auto Racing “Night of 1,000 Stars” will take place on Thursday and Friday, July 14-15, at the Britt, Iowa, speedplant.

“In the past, this race has been held in August,” said track promoter Todd Staley. “But with the $10,000-to-win Great American Stock Car Challenge being held this August in Britt, it was best to move this event into July. This race will be even bigger than the previous 10 years as several sponsors have come on board to provide some great items for both competitors and fans at this year's two-day event.”

The actual “night” for the Harris Auto Racing “Night of 1,000 Stars” will be on Thursday, with more exciting racing scheduled for Friday plus increased purses for most classes.

In addition to the Modified main event paying a hefty $1,000 to win on Friday, there will also be a special “King of the Hill” race for the Modifieds. This race will be exciting for the fans as they get to see two drivers battle it out for a green-white-checkered match race with the winner advancing to the next round.

There is a $50 entry fee for the King of the Hill, and the promoter will match each entry for a 100% payout.

On Thursday night, Harris Auto Racing will be the title sponsor of the event, with associate sponsorship from Max Yield. Several other sponsors will be donating products to be given away through drawings and by finishing positions. Fast Company Performance will be giving away a new fire suit (a $1,300 value) to the winner of the Modified main event on Thursday. On Friday night, Fast Company will also be giving away a new helmet and shoes on Friday night. Other sponsors that have come on board include R.A. Benson Motorsports, Schroeder Racing Products, AERO Race Wheels, KEVKO Oil Pans & Components, Wilwood Engineering, JR Motorsports, PTM Race Engines, Hawk Performance, Quarter Master, Performance Bodies and Grawmondbecks.

USRA track rules will apply for the Modified class on Thursday and Friday nights. Also running will be USRA-sanctioned B-Modifieds ($350 to win), Hobby Stocks ($300 to win) and Stock Cars ($500 to win).

The grandstands will open at 5 p.m. with racing set for 7 each night. There is a $50 early entry fee for Modifieds, with a $75 fee for late entry. All other classes will require a $25 pit pass only.

General admission grandstand prices for Thursday are $13 for adults, with kids (ages 6-12) $4 and children under 6 admitted FREE.

On Thursday night after the races, the Backyard Deli from Clear Lake will be giving away 1,000 hamburgers -- free of charge to the race fans!

On Friday night, Club Nickel Night at the Races will once again feature some great racing action with the King of the Hill Race and a $1,000-to-win feature for the Modifieds. Also on the racing card for the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series will be Hobby Stocks ($250 to win), B-Modifieds ($300 to win) and Stock Cars ($400 to win). The Hornet class will also be in on the menu Friday night.

Races will once again begin at 7 p.m. with gates opening at 5.

Adult grandstand tickets for Friday's show are $10, with kids (ages 6-12) $3 and children under 6 admitted FREE.

VELDHUIZEN WINS CAREER-FIRST AT CARRIKER FORD SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
by Tony Paris

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 7, 2005) -- Racing action at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway was some of the best racing all year, kicking off the first night of racing in the month of July. The evening featured three classes of cars in the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series on Oskaloosa Area Chamber and Development Group Night at the Races.

The first feature of the night featured the USRA Hobby Stocks with Randy Veldhuizen of Oskaloosa drawing #2 and starting outside row 1. He never looked back, leading all 15 laps for his first win at the Oskaloosa,Iowa, half-mile oval. Veldhuizen held off several challenges from Nathan Wood of Sigourney and Jason McDaniel of Eldon, who tried several times to take the lead, but Veldhuizen's machine was too strong. McDaniel took the second spot, with Wood in third and Bobby Greene of Eddyville taking fourth after starting 12th.

The second feature of the night was a thriller with the USRA Stock Cars going wheel-to-wheel among several good battles on the track. The first battle was for the right to lead lap 1. Two Oskaloosa drivers battled for the lead with Kevin Booy and Rick VanDusseldorp going for the top spot, but T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa took the lead and led through lap 7 before Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon closed the gap between himself and the leader. The two drivers put on a show, changing positions through turns 1-2 and again in turns 3-4. The last lap was the clincher with Criss running the top side and Pinkerton making the pass, taking the top side from Criss in turns 3-4 and leading the final lap for his second straight win. Criss took a close second, followed by Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa in third and fourth going to Washington driver Matt Greiner.

The final feature of the night was the 20-lap USRA Modified feature. Kevin Stoa of Polk City and local driver Ron VerBeek of Oskaloosa led the field to the green. VerBeek took the early race lead and led until lap 9 before Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon took the lead working the bottom of turns 1-2. The caution flew on lap 15 for Luke Pestka, who made contact with the outside wall in turn 2. The restart closed the field with 16-year-old Jake Neal of Omaha, Neb., running second and Steve Stewart of Washington running third after coming from the 19th starting spot. On the restart, Mike Hughes of Rose Hill powered to the runner-up spot with VanderBeek leading the final five laps for his second straight win after starting 10th. Hughes took second followed by Neal in third and Stewart in fourth.

Next week's racing action will be sponsored by Victory Construction with the Hobby Stocks and Stock Cars racing for points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series, along with the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series in action at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway. Hot laps are at 7 p.m. and racing action starts at 7:30.

STOCK CARS ON DISPLAY FRIDAY AT ALGONA FAIRWAY PORK BARBECUE
 
ALGONA, Iowa (June 30, 2005) -- The big race on Friday will be at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway for the fourth night of the five-race Stock Car Shootout.
 
During the day, however, the party will be in Algona, Iowa -- just 20 minutes away from the 3/8-mile clay oval in Britt, Iowa.
 
Race fans are invited to attend the Annual Pork Barbecue on Friday, where they can not only feast on mouth-watering pork sandwiches from the outdoor grill at the Fairway Store in Algona, but they can get an early fix for their racing bug, too.
 
Several drivers will be on hand to display their USRA Stock Cars and sign autographs for fans. Also, the O'Reilly USMTS souvenir trailer will be on hand with some special offers -- and plenty of replacement T-shirts for folks who plop some barbecue sauce on the front of their shirt.
 
For race fans looking to get a feel for what it's like inside the cockpit, six-time ARCA RE/MAX Series Frank Kimmel will have his No. 46 Advance Auto Parts/Pork Ford Taurus simulator on display, giving race fans the opportunity to sit inside the simulator and get a feel of what it's like to steer the stock car around a superspeedway.
 
Later on in the evening, Kimmel's simulator car will also be entertaining fans at the racetrack.
 
The Annual Pork Barbecue is presented by Fairway Stores, Inc., and the Kossuth County Pork Producers. The
Algona Fairway store is located on the northeast side of town on Hwy. 18 East. If you can't find it, just roll down the car window and follow your nose!
 
KIMT-TV of Mason City will be on location to film the festivities for broadcast on evening news.

PINKERTON, WOOD TAKE OPENING NIGHT WINS AT PRO-LINE BUILDINGS STOCK CAR SHOOTOUT
by Tony Paris
 
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 29, 2005) -- The first of two nights of racing action was held at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway Wednesday with the 10th Annual Pro-Line Buildings Stock Car Shootout featuring three classes in action. The USRA Modified division -- racing a regular points night for the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series -- joined the USRA Hobby Stocks and USRA Stock Cars racing for big prize money and a nice trophy to add to the racing collection.
 
The first feature of the night saw the USRA Hobby Stocks take the green for 15 laps of exciting racing action. The early-race leader was Colt Mather of Keswick, who took the race lead and built a nice lead over the field before his machine started slowing with mechanical problems with only two laps to go.
 
Mather's lead was getting smaller each lap, and with the field racing off of turn 4 to the checkers, Nathan Wood of Sigourney worked the bottom of the Speedway with Mather in the middle and Steve Allen of Oskaloosa running the top side. The three drivers raced to the finish line with Wood taking the win followed by Allen in second and Ottumwa racer Mike Shelton racing from the tail after spinning on lap 1 to a third-place finish. Mather's machine hung on for the fourth-place finish.
 
In the second feature of the night, the USRA Modifieds took to the 1/2-mile oval with Ron VerBeek of Oskaloosa taking the early race lead. VerBeek led until lap 8 of the 15-lap event, trying several times to hang onto the top spot, but Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon took the lead. On the 13th lap, caution flew to set-up a green-white-checkered shootout. VanderBeek led the field on the restart and VerBeek tried the top side, but VanderBeek was too strong working the bottom and took the win. VerBeek took a hard-fought second, followed by Steve Stewart of Washington in third and fourth going to Mike Hughes of Rose Hill.
 
The final feature of the night was the main event that everybody came to see ... and we saved the best for last! On the start of the USRA Stock Car feature, Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa took the lead and led until lap 18 of the 20-lap event before Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon closed in. Pinkerton, who started in the 13th position, took the race lead off of turn 2 and piloted the familiar #17p machine to victory lane. Mitrisin took second, followed by veteran driver Jim Brown of Fremont taking the third spot. Eric Flanders of What Cheer was fourth.
 
The racing action was red-flagged for Ross McCombs, who climbed the outside guardrail and flipped several times down the front-straight, with the car bursting into flames coming to rest just before entering turn 1. Track workers and the fire crew quickly removed McCombs from the burning car. McCombs was able to walk away with out any problems, but his stock car received heavy damage.
 
Racing action will be held tomorrow (Thursday, June 30) for night #2 of the 10th Annual Pro-Line Buildings Stock Car Shootout, with $2,000 going to the winner in the USRA Stock Car division. The USRA Hobby Stock driver will walk away with $1,200.
 
Hot laps start at 7 p.m. and racing action goes green at 7:30. Also, fans are invited to come out and meet several drivers and get pictures along with autographs and cars on display from 6-7 p.m.
 
The Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway continues to offer one of the most lucrative weekly payouts in the state of Iowa. In addition, USRA-licensed drivers compete against drivers from other USRA-sanctioned tracks for a share of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series national points fund.

BAKKEN ANOTHER NEW WINNER AT HANCOCK COUNTY
by Chad Meyer
 
BRITT, Iowa (June 17, 2005) -- Picture perfect weather greeted race fans and a strong field of racers at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway in Britt, Iowa, for an exciting night of racing action for the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series.
 
Ron Monson Trucking of Britt was the event sponsor.
 
The USRA Modified division at Britt has featured a new winner every week and Friday night was no exception. This time it was Brad Bakken’s turn to cross the victory stripe first, with his first win of the season at Britt. A late-race caution with two laps to go erased Bakken’s advantage over the field and allowed Mike Hejna and Rick Gustin to close the gap. Bakken was too strong and held off second place Hejna. Gustin finished third ahead of Kevin Stoa.
 
In the USRA Stock Cars, Larry Portis started on the front row and never looked back to pick up another win at Britt. Jared Dirks followed for many laps, but could not run down the faster Portis. Dirks held on to second ahead of Chad Palmer and Troy Reicks.
 
Fourteen-year-old Ryan Gustin quickly took advantage of his pole position start to lead the way in the USRA B-Modified feature. Scott Manske had other ideas for Gustin, however. As the laps wound down, Manske slowly ate into Gustin’s lead and powered past the leader in the waning laps on the bottom of turn 4. Gustin finished second ahead of Jared Boumeester.
 
The USRA Hobby Stocks put on a super show in their main event, with three drivers contending for the win. Gary Lalor Jr., John Madson and Calvin Lange were all up front, but in the end it was pole sitter Lalor crossing the line for the win. Madson came home second in the event, ahead of Lange and Randy Hadacek.
 
Once again Alex Yohn was again the dominate driver in the Hornet class, besting Brandon Allen and Charles Gardner for the win. Tim Moretz didn’t have a strong heat race run, but that didn’t matter come feature time as he beat Kyle Germundson for the Junior Hornet victory.
 
Exciting racing action continues at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway next Friday night as Pepsi will be the event sponsor. Hot laps begin at 7 p.m. with racing to follow.

GUSTIN, MATHER, PINKERTON TAKE CHECKERS ON SPAGHETTI'S NIGHT AT CARRIKER FORD SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
by Tony Paris
 
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 15, 2005) -- Another action-packed night of racing in the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series was held Wednesday night at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway, with three classes on the menu sponsored by Spaghetti's Italian Food Family Night with a candy dash, nickel scramble and lots of prizes given away for the kids and adults.
 
After some tight racing in preliminary heat races, the first feature of the evening featured the USRA Modifieds, and fans saw a new driver take the checkers with Marshalltown's Rick Gustin holding off points leader Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon and Mike Hughes of Rose Hill, who battled for the runner-up spot throughout the race.
 
Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon took fourth and Oskaloosa's Ron VerBeek rounded out the top-5.
 
In the second feature of the night, the USRA Hobby Stocks took the green for 15 laps of action with 24 cars taking the green. When the green flag dropped, Robert Rupprecht of Oskaloosa and Nathan Wood of Sigourney battled for the race lead with Wood leading lap 1.
 
On lap 3, Colt Mather of Webster closed in on the leader and took the lead from Wood. Mather never looked back, and took the checkers followed by Rick Landgrebe of Sigourney, Bobby Greene of Eddyville, Jason McDaniel of Eldon and Al Bunnell Jr. of New Sharon.
 
After the race, Mather drove to victory lane and dedicated his win to his grandfather who passed away earlier in the day.
 
The third and final feature was the USRA Stock Car main event with Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon taking the win, holding off T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa, who had worked his way from the 10th starting spot. Pinkerton worked the top side of the big half-mile oval with Criss working the bottom.
 
A good battle for the third spot was waged between Eric Flanders of What Cheer and Rick Brown of Kellogg. The pair went wheel-to-wheel for the third spot with the Ford Thunderbird of Brown taking third and Flanders in fourth.
 
USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series action at the half-mile oval will continue next week with DRS Transport Night featuring USRA Modifieds, Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks, along with the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks. Gates will open at 5 p.m., with racing scheduled to take to the track at 7 p.m.
 
Adult general admission is just $9, with juniors and seniors $7. Kids 11 and under are admitted FREE each and every regular race night, as well as all members of the military who show their military i.d. at the ticket window.
 
The Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway continues to offer one of the most lucrative weekly payouts in the state of Iowa. In addition, USRA-licensed drivers compete against drivers from other USRA-sanctioned tracks for a share of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series national points fund.

O’REILLY MLRA LATE MODELS SET TO INVADE BENTZ GM COUNTRY SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY FOR INAUGURAL PEPSI SUMMER SHOOTOUT

MEMPHIS, Mo. (June 14, 2005) -- Two Show-Me State traditions will come together for the first time this Saturday as the O’Reilly Auto Parts MLRA Super Late Model Series will make their inaugural visit to the popular Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo., for the Pepsi Summer Shootout.
 
Last year, the Midwest Latemodel Racing Association superstars were set to race at the big 3/8-mile Speedway, but Mother Nature had other plans and the event was canceled.
 
According to the weatherman, this weekend is going to be a weekend to remember in Northern Missouri.
 
The O’Reilly MLRA Super Late Models will be battling for the $2,500 top prize awaiting the winner of the 40-lap main event.
 
A full field of the top dirt late model drivers from Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Colorado are expected to be on hand for this mega-event sponsored by Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Memphis, Mo.
 
O’Reilly MLRA points leader Al Purkey will be looking to cushion his title hopes against the likes of Alan Vaughan, Shane Essary, Chris Smyser, Jeff French, Jason Bodenhamer, David Turner, Reid Millard, Chad Clark, Johnny Bone Jr., Tommy Elston, Gary Webb, and many more.
 
Fans at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway have witnessed some thrilling racing action so far this season, and this Saturday should be no different as fans will be treated to the thrills of the lightning-fast high-powered dirt late models.

PITTMAN, SCHMITT BACK IN WINNERS CIRCLE ON A&W / LONG JOHN SILVER'S NIGHT AT CRESCO

CRESCO, Iowa (June 5, 2005) –- Fans and drivers flocked to the Cresco Speedway Sunday for the seventh week of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series. With some of the best competition and a get-home-at-a-decent hour Sunday night program, a hearty crowd was on hand for the annual A&W / Long John Silver's Kids Night at the 3/8-mile oval in northeastern Iowa.
 
After missing last week's show due to a crash the night before, Kevin Pittman of Waterloo returned to action, and returned to the winners circle in the USRA Modifieds. "Porky" started sixth in the field for the 20-lap main event, then powered his way to the front of the pack to pick up his third win of the 2005 season.
 
After dropping out of last Sunday's feature race with mechanical troubles, Darin Duffy of Hazleton returned to form this week with a familiar finish. For the fourth time in the last five races, Duffy had to settle for the runner-up finish -- and the third time behind the back bumper of Pittman's machine. However, Duffy's finish was good enough to wrestle the USRA Modified points lead away from Caledonia's Ron Konkel, who finished fifth on Sunday.
 
Brad Bakken of Garner finished fourth, with Kerry Ledebuhr of Winona, Minn., rounding out the top-5 finishers.
 
In USRA Stock Car action, Tom Schmitt of Independence made his fourth trip to victory lane as he topped a tough "A" main field to pocket the $400 top prize from his outside front row starting spot. Trailing in second through fourth positions at the finish line were Shay Curtin of Waukon, Jason Schlangen of Cresco, Tory Reicks of Waucoma. Last weeks' winner, Kevin Bidne of Decorah, completed the top-5.
 
In the fast and furious Hornet division, Steve Dwyer of La Crosse, Wis., also captured his fourth checkered flag of the season with a dominating performance from the pole position. Adam Ewing of Monona and Ryan Happel of Holmen, Wis., finished second and third, while hometown favorites Randy Koshatka and Chris Gooder were fourth and fifth.
 
Justin Elsbernd of Des Moines made his second trip to the winners circle in 2005 with a victory in the USRA Hobby Stock main event. Cresco's Steve Holthaus added to his points lead with a runner-up finish. Last week's feature winner, Kevin Donlan of Decorah, finished third while Ben Moudry of Protivin and Dillon Anderson of Decorah rounded out the top-5 finishers.
 
While repeat winners were the order of the day on A&W / Long John Silver's Kids Night, a first-time winner emerged in the Street Stock class as Andy Kelly of Lanesboro, Minn., took the checkers in just his third start at the Cresco Speedway. Jeremy Oakes of Spring Grove, Minn., settled for second place after an unsuccessful bid to take the top spot from Kelly. Carissa Wagner of Monona took third, while points leader Scott Spide of Ridgeway was fourth. David Kjome of Decorah finished fifth.
 
Another great night of racing in USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series is on tap next Sunday, June 12 at the Cresco Speedway with Waukon Harley Davidson Night featuring USRA Modifieds, Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks, plus Street Stocks and Hornets.
 
Gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated for 5:45 and racing at 6 p.m. For more information call the Cresco Speedway office at 515-832-7944 or check us out online at www.CrescoSpeedway.com.

MCDANIEL, CRISS, BURGTORF DRIVE INTO VICTORY LANE AT CARRIKER FORD SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY

by Tony Paris
 
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 1, 2005) -- Racing was held at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa on Wednesday for the first night of action in June sponsored by McDaniel Racing Enterprises of Eldon. Three classes were in action for the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series featuring USRA-sanctioned Hobby Stocks, Stock Cars and Modifieds.
 
The night kicked off with the USRA Stock Car feature with T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa taking the race lead on lap 1 and leading all 18 circuits for the victory. Criss held off several tries from Lynnville driver Brandon Bandstra who worked the bottom side of the racing surface with Criss working the monster cushion and powering off the top side. Criss drove one of the Ferguson-owned cars to victory lane while the other team car took home the third position. Bandstra took a close second-place finish with veteran driver Jim Brown of Fremont taking fourth.
 
The second feature was the USRA Hobby Stock main event racing 15 laps with Jason McDaniel of Eldon winning and taking his second win at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway. McDaniel held off several drivers who tried to take the top spot, but was too strong and led all 15 laps for the win. Bobby Greene of Eddyville tried several times for the lead but took home the third spot after Colt Mather of Webster took the runner-up spot from Greene. Rick Landgrebe of Sigourney took fourth.
 
The final feature was the USRA Modified nightcap. Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Ill., paced the field for all 20 laps and first ever win at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway. This was Burgtorf's fifth USRA-sanctioned Modified win of the 2005 racing season. Mike Hughes of Rose Hill took the second spot, holding off 10th-starting Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, who raced to the checkered with the margin at the finish less than two inches. The fourth spot went to New Sharon driver Brad Pinkerton after coming from the 13th starting position.
 
Next week's racing action will feature Kids Night at the Races sponsored by the Club House in Oskaloosa, with some bicycles and several prizes given away to the young race fans.
 
Gates will open at 5 p.m., with racing scheduled to take to the track at 7 p.m. Adult general admission is just $9, with juniors and seniors $7. Kids 11 and under are admitted FREE each and every regular race night. Members of the military simply need to show their military i.d. at the ticket window to get in FREE ... just our way of saying "Thank You" for making it possible for all of us to enjoy the greatest spectator sport in the world.
 
The Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway continues to offer one of the most lucrative weekly payouts in the state of Iowa. In addition, USRA-licensed drivers compete against drivers from other USRA-sanctioned tracks for a share of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series national points fund.

SCHLUETTER GRABS FIRST USRA MODIFIED WIN AT CRESCO
 
CRESCO, Iowa (May 29, 2005) –- With good weather all around the region, fans and drivers flocked to the Cresco Speedway Sunday for the sixth week of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series at the 3/8-mile oval in northeastern Iowa. With some of the best competition and a get-home-at-a-decent hour Sunday night program, a season-high number of fans were hand, as well as a season-high car count, including 17 racers in five divisions making their first trip to Cresco this season.
 
Once again, the fans got a great show on s special Armed Forces Night ... and found out why Cresco Speedway is the talk of Iowa racing.
 
With just one top-5 this season, second-year stock car graduate Jeff Schluetter of New Hampton has been fighting mechanical gremlins during his first full season of USRA Modified competition. Sunday night he shed the gorilla on his back to score a dominating win the 20-lap Modified main event. Fellow New Hampton pilot Chuck Stanton chased Schluetter in the early going, but Schluetter held on through two caution flags to pull away for the win. Ryan York of Racine, Minn., finished third after bouncing back from an early-race incident, while Kerry Ledebuhr of Winona, Minn., took fourth. Shawn Ryan of Waterloo took fifth in his season debut at Cresco.
 
After three straight runner-up finishes, Hazleton's Darin Duffy was unable to finish the main event after suffering his second flat tire of the race. With Duffy scoring a DNF, Ron Konkel of Caledonia, Minn., finished 10th and overtook Duffy for the USRA Modified points lead (489-485). Schluetter jumped from sixth to third with his victory.
 
In USRA Stock Car action, Kevin Bidne of Decorah turned in his fourth top-5 finish of the season -- and his first feature win of 2005. Bidne held off Cresco's Jason Schlangen and three-time winner Tom Schmitt of Independence to take the 18-lap victory. Lynn Panos of Protivin and Dan Christopher of Decorah rounded out the top-5.
 
Another Decorah driver made his way to victory lane as Kevin Donlan picked up his first USRA Hobby Stock win of the season in the USRA Hobby Stock feature race. Carl Colsch of Eitzen, Minn., scored his best finish of the year with a runner-up finish while points leader Steve Holthaus of Cresco grabbed yet another top-5 finish in third. Fourth went to Dillon Anderson of Decorah and fifth was Shane Panos of Decorah.
 
It was a Decorah trifecta as Bruce Hovey won the Street Stock main event behind the wheel of Austin Curtin's no. 40 machine. Last week's winner and current points leader Scott Spide of Ridgeway finished second, while Carissa Wagner of Monona, Cody Henkes of Farmersburg and Tom Kaiser of Waseca, Minn., completed the top-5 finishers.
 
Murry Keatley of Waukon is now two-for-two as he won his second straight Hornet feature on Sunday. Adam Ewing of Monona was second, followed by Nathan Cahoon of Monona, Ryan Happel of Holmen and Andy Stinson of Ridgeway.
 
Another great night of racing in USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series is on tap next Sunday, June 5 at the Cresco Speedway with Kids Might presented by A&W/Long John Silvers. Gates open at 4 p.m. with hot laps slated for 5:45 and racing at 6 p.m. For more information call the Cresco Speedway office at 515-832-7944 or check us out online at www.CrescoSpeedway.com.

RAIN SHORTENS HCS SLATE; DOUBLE FEATURES NEXT FRIDAY

 

BRITT, Iowa (May 27, 2005) – With two main events in the books, rain began to fall on the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway Friday night to force the postponement of the final three feature races of the program on Sidetrack Lanes/Bauer’s Seamless Gutters Night.

 

The rained-out “A” mains for the USRA Modified, USRA Stock Car and Hornet divisions will kick off the action next Friday, June 3, with a full five-division program for the USRA Casey’s General Stores Championship Series to follow.

 

Prior to Mother Nature’s intervention, Kevin Knudson of Clear Lake and Calvin Lange of Humboldt were able to beat the rain and beat their respective fields on the 3/8-mile oval.

 

After a spin on lap 4 by leader Jeramie Faber, Knudson assumed the top spot and went on to lead the final six laps of the USRA B-Modified main event. Jared Boumeester, Jake Simpson, George Gilliland and Matt Lettow completed the top five finishers.

 

In the USRA Hobby Stock feature, Randy Hadacek paced the first five laps before giving way to John Madson. Madson led the next five laps, holding Hadacek and Lange at bay. Lange was finally able to slip past Madson on the low side and continued in front through the final four circuits for his second straight win at the Britt, Iowa, speedplant. Madson and Hadacek held on for second and third, respectively, while Gary Lalor and Chad Lundy rounded out the top-5.

 

The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series continues next Friday, June 3, as the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway hosts Backyard Deli Night, with eight feature races in five classes on the schedule. Gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 7 and racing at 7:30.

VANDERBEEK STEALS OSKY SPOTLIGHT: WINS MODIFIED MAIN, REFUSES STOCK CAR CLAIM
 
by Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (May 25, 2005) -- Fan Appreciation Night was held Wednesday at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, with event sponsorship courtesy of Mike's Tire, Alignment & Custom Wheels of Ottumwa and Conger Machine of Fremont, and with four classes in action for the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series, plus the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks making their second special appearance of the season.
 
The night's main events kicked off with the USRA Hobby Stocks. Robert Rupprecht of Oskaloosa took the early race lead, then paced the field until lap 9 of the 15-lap feature event before Nathan Wood of Sigourney and Colt Mather of Webster made it three-wide for the lead. Wood, who started 13th, took the top spot on lap 10 and led the final five laps for his first win at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway in 2005. Mather took the second spot, followed by Rupprecht in third and Randy Velhuizen of Oskaloosa in fourth.
 
The second feature was a thriller with the USRA Stock Cars putting on a exciting battle on the big half-mile clay oval. Bobby Greiner Jr. of Ottumwa took the early race lead working the bottom side of the Speedway. Greiner held of several battles for the top spot before Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon closed in on the final lap with both drivers racing off turn 4 for the win. At the finish line, Pinkerton edged Greiner for the win -- just as Greiner had done to Pinkerton back on April 9. T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa was third, Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon took fourth and Matt Greiner of Washington was fifth.
 
The fireworks didn't end there, however, as Jeff Joldersma of McClelland pulled into the claim area and wanted to buy a motor. The top five finisher's numbers were placed in a hat and Joldersma drew a number. The number was that of VanderBeek, who in turn refused the claim on his engine. The claim refusal resulted in VanderBeek's disqualification for the night, a fine of $1,000 and loss of all points earned so far this season.
 
The Karl Chevrolet Dirt Truck feature went to Ben Nading, who lead all 15 laps for his second win of the 2005 season and first at the Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway. Bret Moyer took home the second spot followed by Pat Fagen in third and Rick Clark in fourth.
 
The final feature was the USRA Modified feature with VanderBeek leading all 20 laps for his third win of the year. Bruce Hanford of Davenport took home the runner-up spot followed by Kevin Stoa of Polk City in third and fourth going to Rick Gustin of Marshalltown.
 
Next week's racing action will feature the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series back in action, featuring USRA-sanctioned Modifieds, Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks. The night is sponsored by McDaniel Racing Enterprises of Eldon, which is owned and operated by Bert and Sue McDaniel.
 
Gates will open at 5 p.m., with racing scheduled to take to the track at 7 p.m. Adult general admission is just $9, with juniors and seniors $7. Kids 11 and under are admitted FREE each and every regular race night. Members of the military simply need to show their military i.d. at the ticket window to get in FREE ... just our way of saying "Thank You" for making it possible for all of us to enjoy the greatest spectator sport in the world.
 
The Carriker Ford Southern Iowa Speedway continues to offer one of the most lucrative weekly payouts in the state of Iowa. In addition, USRA-licensed drivers compete against drivers from other USRA-sanctioned tracks for a share of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series national points fund.

RAIN PREVAILS AT BENTZ GM COUNTRY SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY
 
by Brian Neal
MEMPHIS, Mo. (May 21, 2005) -- Mother nature spoiled the night on Trump Trucks and Sonny's Collision Center Late Model night at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway.
 
All seven classes got their heat races in, then the B-Modifieds hit the track for their feature. Wyatt Lantz and Jerry Reese Jr. led the field to the drop of the green flag in the Casey's General Stores USRA B-Modified feature, with Lantz grabbing the top spot on lap 1. Lantz held the lead through lap 3, when the skies opened up and rained out the rest of the 15-lap feature, plus the other six features.
 
Due to the rainout, double features in all regular weekly classes will be on the menu next week. The Late Model feature will be made up on Saturday, June 18, on Pepsi Night when the O'Reilly MLRA Late Model Series rolls into town.
 
Next week will be Memphis Democrat and Scotland County Lanes Night at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway. The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series will continue in the Modified, Stock Car, B-Modified and Hobby Stock divisions, plus racing action in the Cruisers and Hornet classes. Gates will open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 6:15 and racing to follow.
 
Admission for the Saturday, May 28, show will be adults $9, seniors and students $7, with kids 11 and under FREE!

HEJNA TURNS LUCK AROUND, STRIKES GOLD AT HANCOCK COUNTY

BRITT, Iowa (May 20, 2005) -- Mother Nature kept her distance this week, and the third thrilling night of the 2005 season at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway made it in the books on West Hancock County Ambulance Service Night.
 
When Mother Nature had been kind to the Speedway, mechanical gremlins had not been so nice to Al Hejna. This past Friday, however, things were different as the Clear Lake veteran beat the weather, beat the mechanical problems and beat an all-star field of USRA Modifieds to take his first win of the season at the Britt, Iowa, facility.
 
From his outside front row starting spot, Jeremy Mills of Garner grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag. On lap 4 of the 25-lapper, Mills bobbled between turns 3-4, opening the door for Jeff Schluetter to take the point. Schluetter paced the field for the next four laps until he spun in turn 1 to bring out a caution flag and end his chance at victory.
 
From there on, it was all "Big Al" as he held on through a late-race caution, and held off fellow O'Reilly USMTS star Kelly Shryock of Fertile to the checkers. Mills took third after giving up the runner-up spot to Shryock with four laps to go. Todd Hanson of Clear Lake and Burt's Rick Schuller completed the top-5.
 
Heat wins went to Jeff Feaster of Dakota City and Jimmy Davis of Medford, Minn.
 
In USRA Stock Car action, Chad Palmer of Renwick led the first 14 of 20 laps before a bobble in turn 2 opened the door for eighth-starting Larry Portis of Nora Springs to take the top spot. From there, Portis paced Palmer to the finish line to pick up the $400 top prize. Kevin Hoeft of Garner, Jeff Vsetecka of Charles City and Wade Eastman of Nora Springs finished third through fifth.
 
Heat wins went to last week's feature winner, Jeff Dolphin of Forest City, and Eastman.
 
Playing the lead role late in the race proved to be a bad sign in the USRA Hobby Stock main event too. Hometown favorite Randy Hadacek looked to be on his way to his first win of the season as he led the first 14˝ laps of the 15-lap main event, but a miscue on the final lap was all the opening that Humboldt's Calvin Lange needed as he leaped past Hadacek for the top spot and led him to the stripe. Third through fifth went to John Madson of Britt, Chad Gentz of Forest City and Gary Lalor Jr. of Eagle Grove.
 
Heat wins went to Hadacek and Lalor.
 
In USRA B-Mod action, Travis Lain of Titonka swept the events with a heat race win and a victory in the "A" main. Kevin Knudson of Clear Lake finished second, with Jared Boumeester of Waseca, Minn. coming home in third place. Fourth went to Mike Schroeder of Lone Rock, while Lehigh's George Gilliland completed the top-5 finishers.
 
Heat wins went to Lain and Jake Simpson of Algona.
 
With his win in the Hornet division, Alex Yohn became the second driver from Clear Lake to visit victory lane Friday night, and also became the first driver in any class to win his second feature race of the season. Greg Birkhofer of Garner, Brandon Allen of Belmond, Charles Gardner of Kanawha and Travis Nelson of Garner rounded out the top-5.
 
Heat wins went to Yohn and Allen.
 
The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series continues next Friday at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway. For more information call 515-832-7944, or check us out online at www.hancockcospeedway.com.

PITTMAN, SCHMITT LOOK TO CONTINUE WINNING WAYS ON PEPSI NIGHT AT CRESCO
 
CRESCO, Iowa (May 20, 2005) -- This Sunday night, May 22, the Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, will present Pepsi Night at the lightning-fast 3/8-mile clay oval with a stout field of win-thirsty USRA Modified and Stock Car drivers looking to put an end to a pair of winning streaks.
 
Last week, Kevin Pittman of Waterloo won his second straight USRA Modified main event with a thrilling last-to-first charge. Pittman had his work cut out for him as he started 10th in the 25-lap nightcap, but his workload became much heavier as he was forced to the pits early in the race to change a flat tire. "Porky" returned to the track on the lead lap but in last place, then marched through the field and held off ninth-starting Darin Duffy for the win.
 
Duffy was handed his second consecutive runner-up finish and will be looking to do one better for the Cresco Speedway fans this Sunday. Just six points separate points leader Pittman, second-place Doug Hillson and third-ranked Duffy.
 
If that wasn't enough pressure, several other top-notch pilots are expected this Sunday as the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series is idle. Gopher State superstars Mike Sorensen and Tommy Myer claimed the checkers during the first two nights of racing at Cresco. Officials expect them to return this weekend with more of the O'Reilly USMTS posse, including Clear Lake's Al Hejna.
 
"I've planned to be in Cresco twice this year but been wrecked in Britt, and couldn't make it," said Hejna. "I do plan to be there this Sunday and give Porky a run."
 
In the USRA Stock Car ranks, Tom Schmitt will look to continue his near-perfect mark at Cresco. After a second-place finish on opening night, Schmitt has found victory lane in each of the last three feature races. A win last Sunday will get Schmitt a starting spot no better than 10th this week, so Tory Reicks and Jason Schlangen hope to keep him behind them for the entire distance. Schlangen, who beat Schmitt on opening night at Cresco, is fresh off a crowd-pleasing charge in Thursday's Great American Stock Car Challenge in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and hopes to keep his momentum going in Cresco. Reicks has three straight top-3 finishes, but is still searching for his first trip to the winners circle in 2005.
 
General admission for this Sunday's Pepsi Night is just $9 for adults, with $7 for seniors and students. Kids 11 and under are admitted FREE. Pit passes are $25.
 
Gates will open at 4 p.m. Hot laps are at 5:45, with racing to follow.
 
The Cresco Speedway continues to offer one of the most lucrative weekly payouts in the state of Iowa. In addition, USRA-licensed drivers compete against drivers from other USRA-sanctioned tracks for a share of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series national points fund.

LATE MODELS INVADE MEMPHIS THIS SATURDAY; ARMED FORCES GET IN FREE
 
MEMPHIS, Mo. (May 20, 2005) -- This Saturday night, May 21, Trump Trucks and Sonny’s Collision will present the first of four Late Model specials this season at the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway. In addition to the high-speed dirt door-slammers, the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series -- featuring USRA Modifieds, Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks and B-Modifieds -- along with the Cruisers and Hornets, are also on tap for an exciting seven-division racing card.
 
With warm temperatures and a dry weather forecast for Saturday, the Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway is also gearing up to honor all branches of the United States Armed Forces and members of civil defense organizations with a special Armed Forces Day presented by Trump Trucks and Sonny’s Collision.
 
According to the United States Department of Defense, President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country. On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy, Marines Corp and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under one department -- the Department of Defense.
 
Admission is absolutely FREE for all race fans presenting their military identification card. General admission for adults is $10, seniors and students are $7 and kids 11 and under are admitted for FREE.
 
Gates will open at 5 p.m. Hot laps are at 6:15, with racing to follow.
 
The Bentz GM Country Scotland County Speedway continues to offer one of the most lucrative weekly payouts in the state of Missouri. In addition, USRA-licensed drivers compete against drivers from other USRA-sanctioned tracks for a share of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series national points fund.

GREAT AMERICAN STOCK CAR CHALLENGE DELAYED BY RAIN, RESET FOR THURSDAY
 
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (May 18, 2005) -- The biggest and baddest event for the nation's dirt Stock Car and Hobby Stock drivers will have to wait one more day.

Drivers will also be vying for $560 to start for Stock Cars and $200 to start for Hobby Stocks. Only the best of the best will make the 24-car main event starting fields.
 
A lot of racing bang for the fans' buck is on the menu with last chance qualifiers preceding the big-money big dances to cap off the night. A complete program of USRA Modifieds is also slated for Thursday night, with drivers earning both track points and points toward the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series.
