RACING LOSES ED SHECKLER, A TRUE FRIEND OF THE SPORT
MONMOUTH, Ill. (Dec. 6)
-- The staff, family, friends, racers and sponsors of the United States Modified
Touring Series (USMTS), United States Racing Association (USRA) and RL
Promotions wish to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Ed
Sheckler.
Ed passed away at his
home in Monmouth, Ill., early Tuesday morning from complications of liver
cancer.
Ed aided in the
development of the USMS, which was started by his son, Doug, in 1994. Since
then, Ed has played an instrumental part in the success of the USRA, Pepsi
Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo., the Mountain Dew Bloomfield (Iowa)
Speedway and the USMTS. Ed's tireless efforts have made the annual USMTS stop at
the Knoxville (Ill.) Fairgrounds one of the biggest and most successful events
on the calendar each year.
More importantly,
Ed's genuine respect and care for the drivers and fans surrounding him was
always evident. Ed came closer than anybody to dispelling the phrase 'You can't
please all the people all the time.'
The Knoxville event
will now and forever be known as the Ed Sheckler Memorial.
He will be dearly
missed by all. Rest in peace, Ed.
Obituary
Mr. Ed (Sheck)
Sheckler, Galesburg Chapel, 66, of Monmouth, Ill., died at 5 a.m. Tuesday, Dec.
5, 2006 at his home.
He was born April 7,
1940, in Burlington, Iowa -- the son of James Harrison and Erma Elizabeth Heuer
Sheckler. He married Chris Newell in Monmouth on Aug. 12, 1995. She survives.
Also surviving is one
son, Douglas Sheckler of Galesburg, one daughter, Melissa (Brent) Gromala of
Carol Stream, two brothers, James Sheckler of Marion, Iowa, and Lewis Sheckler
of Radford, Va., a twin sister, Esther Mathias of Terre Haute, Ind., and two
grandchildren, Payton and Jackson Sheckler.
He was a band teacher
for 36 years, retiring in 1999. He first taught in Lexington for 10 years and
later at Monmouth High school for 26 years. He earned his undergraduate degree
in music education from Olivet Nazarene University. He later received his
Masters degree from Illinois State University. During his tenure at Monmouth
High School, the band received 22 first-place ratings at the Illinois State
Music Contest and numerous other honors. In 1991, the band competed against
bands from across the nation at the All American Festival in Florida and took
home 13 trophies, winning everything that there was for them to win. Upon
retirement he did public relations for the United States Modified Touring
Series, which is a national racing series. He was also instrumental in bringing
auto racing to the Knox County Fair in recent years. He attended the Countryside
Bible Church in Monmouth.
Funeral services are
scheduled for 11:30 a.m. this Saturday at Hinchliff-Pearson-West Galesburg
Chapel. The Rev. Ken Muck will officiate. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. on

USRA ANNOUNCES RULES CHANGES FOR 2007
WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Oct. 24) --
On the heels of wrapping up their most successful racing season to date,
officials from the United States Racing Association (USRA) have announced rules
changes for four sanctioned divisions, effective January 1, 2007.
“We have conducted an
extensive review of the combinations of classes that are currently sanctioned
under the USRA banner, and believe we have modified the rules to meet our goals
of providing affordable, close competition and stability for the 2007 season and
beyond,” said USRA president Todd Staley.
“Rules stability and
affordability is our ultimate goal, but competition must weigh heavy when making
these decisions. We must limit a team’s ability to gain a major performance
advantage with his or her pocketbook, while at the same time fostering an
environment where the mechanical aptitude and technical experience play a role
in a team’s success. We feel we have addressed these issues, and look forward to
seeing the results.”
Among the rules
changes for 2007 are:
Hobby Stocks:
• No weight rule.
Stock Cars:
• Head and intake
claim will be $600.
• Carburetor claim
will be $100 with exchange option (same procedure as motor claim).
B-Modifieds:
• Drivers utilizing a
Performer Intake must add twenty-five (25) pounds in front of the mid-plate.
• Total weight rule
will remain 2,500 lbs.
• No spoiler (this is
not a track option).
Modifieds:
• Flat tappet/steel
head engine: Minimum overall car weight 2,400 lbs.; Maximum 8” spoiler; Stud
girdles and shaft rockers allowed.
• Brodix aluminum
spec head engine: Minimum overall car weight 2,400 lbs.; Maximum 8” spoiler;
Roller cams allowed. Drivers utilizing the Brodix aluminum spec head will be
eligible for additional contingencies and points money.
• All engines not
utilizing a flat tappet/steel head engine, or not using the Brodix aluminum spec
head engine: Stock valve angle heads only; No raised intake runner heads;
Minimum overall car weight 2,450 lbs. (if using aluminum heads, must have 50
lbs. in front of mid-plate); Roller cams allowed; Maximum 5” spoiler.
• An 8” back panel is
required (no track option).
• Tri-Y headers are
not allowed.
• Canister shocks are
not allowed. Shock claim will be $100 per shock.
• Doors and quarters
may be mounted one inch above the deck.
• Quick change
rear-end is optional for 2007. If using a quick change rear-end, must use steel
tubes and must utilize pinion taper bearings; Aluminum spools are allowed. The
USRA is currently negotiating with quick change manufacturers and will announce
more details as they become available.
Other notable changes
and/or additions to the 2007 rulebook include:
How Points Are Awarded:
While car count bonus
points and passing points toward USRA national points will remain unchanged, the
base points system will be doubled for both national and track points. For
instance, a feature win in 2006 was worth 100 points, but will be worth 200
points in 2007.
Technical Inspections:
The 2007 USRA
rulebook will feature specific tech procedures that all sanctioned tracks and
drivers must adhere to. In all USRA-sanctioned classes at all USRA-sanctioned
tracks, either (a) the top four finishers in the main event, or (b) the top
three finishers in the main event and one randomly selected car will be required
to report to a designated tech area following the main event, where both
mandatory and varied technical inspections will be required to take place. Each
track will be required to have a USRA-certified tech inspector on staff.
New Late Model Division:
The USRA will be
announcing comprehensive rules for a new Late Model class that will, for the
first time, compete under the USRA banner. Complete rules, as well as plans for
a regional touring series, will be announced on or before November 11.
Handy Pocket-Sized Rulebooks:
All USRA-licensed
drivers will receive a handy pocket-sized rulebook that they can use while
working at the shop or for clarifications at the track. The rulebook will
contain rules and procedures for all USRA-sanctioned classes, plus contact
information and more. These rulebooks will also be for sale to the general
public. Nonetheless, as always, rules will be available at the tracks in printed
form and available on www.usraracing.com for viewing and/or downloading.
The USRA currently
sanctions 21 speedways in six states -- Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota,
Wisconsin and Missouri -- with more than 1,600 licensed drivers competing at
USRA-sanctioned events during the 2006 season.
For racetrack
promoters looking for an option that considers their bottom line, as well as the
bottom line of the racer and fan, the USRA invites all short-track and regional
series operators to have a look at what we have to offer as your motorsports
marketing partner.
About the USRA
The United States
Racing Association (USRA) was formed with a mission of accomplishing three
goals: increased driver participation, increased attendance and increased
sponsorship for each USRA-sanctioned racetrack. The USRA serves as a marketing
partner with the bottom line of our sanctioned tracks at interest, and we are
committed to maintaining guidelines to make racing affordable and fun for all
racers, yet exciting and competitive for fans. The USRA is committed to
providing a combination of cost-effective rules for competitors in weekly auto
racing and effective marketing strategies to assist in the growth and popularity
of the tracks at which they compete. For more information regarding the USRA,

PAYNE, PHILLIPS, SCHMITT, WATERMAN, GIBSON, WENIG, BROWN CASH IN ON FINAL NIGHT
OF 2ND ANNUAL PIZZA HUT MEMPHIS FALL NATIONALS
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS, Mo. (Oct. 14) --
Mother Nature might not have been warm, but the racing action on the final night
of the 2nd Annual Pizza Hut Memphis Fall Nationals at the Pepsi Scotland County
Speedway was fiery hot. Jeremy Payne (Keith's Foods Late Models), Terry Phillips
(Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds), Tom Schmitt (USRA Stock Cars), Jeff Waterman
(Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds), Bill Gibson (USRA Hobby Stocks), Dan Wenig
(Outlaw Hobbies) and John Brown (Hornets) all taking the big pay checks back
home with them.
The 10-lap Hornet
feature was the first to take to the speedway, with Ronald Kibbe and Chuck
Fullenkamp leading the field to the green. Kibbe would take advantage of his
front row start to grab the lead on lap 1 and then held it until lap 6, when
Brooke Hassler, who started thirteenth, slipped by for the lead. Hassler then
held the top spot until lap 9 when he and Travis DeMint, who started fourteenth,
made contact allowing John Brown, who started twelfth, to get by for the lead.
Brown then held on for the final lap to pick up the win and the $300 top prize.
Hassler recovered to finish in second, with DeMint holding on for third, Sarah
Woodhurst came from eleventh to finish in fourth, with Fullenkamp holding on for
fifth.
Up next was the
15-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature, with Bill Gibson and Jason McDaniel on the
front row. Gibson grabbed the lead on the drop of the green flag and then held
it until lap 10, when Wood slipped by for the top spot. But a caution would come
out before the lap was complete, giving the lead back to Gibson. Gibson once
again grabbed the lead on the restart and then held on for the final five laps
to claim the $600 top prize. Wood settled for second, Donnvan Nunnikhoven came
from eighth to finish in third, Bob Lynch was fourth, with Tim Kraber, who
started tenth, rounding out the top five.
Beau Taylor and
Michael St. Clair made up the front row for the 15-lap Outlaw Hobby main event,
with Taylor jumping out front on lap 1. Taylor then held the top spot until lap
9 when Rodger Dresden edged him out at the line by inches to take over the lead.
Dresden and Taylor continued to battle for the lead, as Dan Wenig, who started
fourteenth, was working his way towards the front. Wenig would make his move for
the lead on the final lap, as he slipped under Dresden coming off of turn four
to grab the $700 pay check. Dresden settled for second, Derek Reimer was third,
Taylor held on for fourth, with Tony Becerra coming home in fifth. Derek
Dettmann and Dan Wenig took the last chance race wins.
The 20-lap USRA Stock
Car feature was another one that came down to the final lap, as Tom Schmitt held
off Zack VanderBeek for the win. Schmitt and VanderBeek made up the front row,
with Schmitt moving out front on the drop of the green flag. Schmitt held the
lead for all 20 laps, but VanderBeek would slip under him on the final lap
coming off of turn four with the two bumping each other to the checkered flag.
Schmitt would edge out VanderBeek at the line to claim the $2,000 top prize.
Matt Greiner was third, Jason Cook finished in fourth, with Mike Van Genderen
rounding out the top five. Last chance races went to Greg Gill and Brandon
Rothzen.
Brian Harris and
Jeremy Payne drew the front row for the 25-lap Keith's Foods Late Model feature,
with Harris taking the lead on the drop of the green flag. Harris, who ran the
bottom of the speedway, and Payne, who was up on top, put on a show for the
crowd, as the two battled side-by-side for several laps. Payne would grab the
lead on lap 17 with Harris coming back on the bottom to lead lap 19, but Payne
would grab the top spot back on the next lap. Payne then held off Harris on the
final 6 laps to pick up the $3,000 paycheck. Terry Phillips came from tenth to
finish in third, Tommy Elston was fourth, with Chris Smyser coming home in
fifth. Phillips, Elston, Rickey Frankel and Payne each picked up a heat race
win, while Jason Bodenhammer picked up the semi win.
Up next was the
18-lap Advance Trading USRA B-Modified feature, with Jack Evans Jr. and Tony
Dunker leading the field to the drop of the green flag. Evans would take
advantage of his front row starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1 and then held
it until lap 13, when Jeff Waterman, who started seventh, jumped to his outside
to take over the lead. Waterman then pulled away on the final 5 lap to pick up
the $1,000 top prize, his biggest win of his career to-date. Evans settled for
second, Ryan Giles charged from nineteenth to finish in third, Wyatt Lantz was
fourth, with Bob Woodrow rounding out the top five. Last chance races went to
Tony Garner, Terry Houston and Dustin Boling, with Jacob Murray picking up the
last last chance win.
The final feature of
the evening was the 40-lap Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds, with Kelly Shryock
and Darin Duffy on the front row. Shryock would grab the lead on lap 1 and then
held it until lap 5, when Terry Phillips slid under him for the top spot.
Phillips had worked up a straight-away lead over Shryock and Mark Burgtorf, when
that was narrowed to a bumper on lap 30, as they entered lapped traffic. Shryock
would try a last lap pass of Phillips and slid high, allowing Burgtorf to get by
for second, as Phillips went on to score the $5,000 win in a caution-free event.
Zack VanderBeek would come home in fourth, with Michael Long coming home in
fifth. Tony Fraise, Mike Wedelstadt and Ryan Meyer picked up the last chance
races, while Darin Thye picked up the last last chance win.
Coming up next at the
Pepsi Scotland County Speedway will be the final event of the 2006 season. This
will also be the season-ending chase for "The Hunt" for the O'Reilly United
States Modified Touring Series on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 3-4. Also in action
will be the USRA Stock Cars, Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds, USRA Hobby
Stocks, Outlaw Hobbies and Hornets.

SHRYOCK, SCHMITT, EVANS, GIBSON, TAYLOR, KIBBE TOP OPENING NIGHT OF PIZZA HUT
MEMPHIS FALL NATIONALS
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS, Mo. (Oct. 12) --
The first night of the 2nd Annual Pizza Hut Memphis Fall Nationals at the Pepsi
Scotland County Speedway was a little cold, but the racing action was hot.
Drivers were battling for the top six transfer spots for the inside rows of
Saturday's main events. Topping night one qualifying was Kelly Shryock (Bentz GM
Country USRA Modifieds), Tom Schmitt (USRA Stock Cars), Jack Evans Jr. (Advance
Trading USRA B-Modifieds), Bill Gibson (USRA Hobby Stocks), Beau Taylor (Outlaw
Hobbies) and Ronald Kibbe (Hornets).
Kibbe and Andrew
Hustead drew the front row for the 10-lap Hornet feature, with Kibbe grabbing
the advantage on the drop of the green flag. Kibbe would go on to lead all 10
laps to pick up the win. Chuck Fullenkamp was second, Hustead settled for third,
J.D. Murphy was fourth, Bill O'Haver was fifth, with Ethan Hustead rounding out
the sixth and final qualifying spot for Saturdays main event. Kibbe also claimed
the heat race win.
Next up was the
12-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature, with Jason McDaniel and Mike Leffler on the
front row. McDaniel and Leffler battled side-by-side for the top spot for the
first three laps, before Gibson slipped by for the lead. Gibson then held off a
late challenge from McDaniel to claim victory. Leffler held on for third, Bob
Lynch was fourth, Steve Allen was fifth, with Jason VanZomeren taking the sixth
and final transfer spot. The heat race win went to McDaniel.
Brett Moffitt and Jim
Gillenwater drew the front row for the 15-lap Advance Trading USRA B-Modified
feature. But it was third place starter Jack Evans Jr. taking the lead on the
drop of the green flag. Evans went on to lead all fifteen laps and held off Ryan
Gustin, who came from the back after an early crash, to claim the feature win.
Joe Hooper came from 19th to finish in third, fourth went to Jeff Waterman, who
started 13th. Brandon Savage came from the rear after a late crash to finish in
fifth, with Larry Winn coming home in the final transfer spot. Wyatt Lantz,
Evans and Tony Dunker picked up the heat race wins, while Hooper won the semi.
The 15-lap USRA Stock
Car feature had Toby Johnson and Matt Greiner on the front row, with Greiner
taking the early lead. Greiner and Tom Schmitt battled side-by-side for the top
spot until Schmitt took command on lap 4. Schmitt then went on to pick up the
win, with Greiner in second. Jason Cook came from 11th to finish in third, Mike
Van Genderen started 15th to finish in fourth, Donovan Lodge edged out Ryan Cook
on the final lap for fifth, with Ryan holding on for the final transfer spot.
Heat race winners were Schmitt, Johnson and Greiner.
Jim Lynch and Adam
Birck led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 15-lap Outlaw Hobby
feature, but it was fourth-place starter Beau Taylor taking the lead on lap 1.
Taylor, the 2006 track champion at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway, went on
to lead all 15 laps to claim the win. John Oliver Jr. came from ninth to finish
in second, Rodger Dresden was third, Doug Fenton was fourth, Tony Becerra came
from 14th to finish in fifth, with Jeff Soper rounding out the final qualifying
spot. Taylor, Derek Reimer and Oliver each picked up a heat race win.
The final feature of
the night was the 20-lap Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds, with Zack VanderBeek
and Mike Hejna drawing the front row. VanderBeek took advantage of his front row
starting spot to grab the lead on the drop of the green flag. VanderBeek led the
field until lap 12 when Kelly Shryock, who started 12th, slipped by for the
lead. The seven-time defending O'Reilly USMTS national champ went on to lead the
final eight laps to pick up the win. VanderBeek was second, Hejna was third,
Mark Burgtorf came from 22nd to finish in fourth. Mark Noble was fifth, with

TRACK
CHAMPIONS DETERMINED ON CUNNINGHAM FERTILIZER SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT AT PEPSI
SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS,
Mo. (Sept. 30) --
The 2006 Cunningham Fertilizer Season Championship Night was finally put into
the books at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo., after a rain
out back on Aug. 26. One hundred fifty drivers turned out to witness the
lighting of the new Musco lights, along with the crowning of the 2006 track
champions. Taking home feature wins on the night were Steve Breazeale
(Mid-America 305 Winged Sprints), Tony Fraise (Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds),
Matt Greiner (USRA Stock Cars), Jim Gillenwater (Advance Trading USRA
B-Modifieds), Jimmy Hayes (USRA Hobby Stocks), Brad Weber (Outlaw Hobbies) and
Gordon Blankenship Jr. (Hornets).
The first feature of the night
was the 15-lap Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds with Brandon Savage and Jim
Gillenwater drawing the front row. Gillenwater took advantage of his front row
starting spot to grab the lead on lap 1. Gillenwater would pull away from the
field to lead all 15 laps to pick up his third win on the season at the
speedway. The 2006 Track Champion, Tony Dunker, who started twelfth, crossed the
line in second, Savage held on for third, Joe Hooper came from thirteenth to
finish in fourth, with Porter Collins rounding out the top five. Jack Evans Jr.,
Savage and Wyatt Lantz each picked up a heat race win.
Dale Porter and Ethan Hustead
led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 10-lap Hornet feature with
Porter jumping out front on lap 1. Porter would hold the lead for one lap, as
Gordon Blankenship Jr., who started seventh, quickly moved up to take over the
top spot on lap 2. Blankenship Jr. then pulled away on the final eight laps to
claim his third win of 2006 at Memphis. Porter held on for second, Chuck
Fullenkamp was third, Travis DeMint was fourth, with Brent Hartley coming home
in fifth. Andrew Hustead came home in sixth and was crowned the 2006 Track
Champion. Heat race wins went to Blankenship Jr. and DeMint.
Up next was the 12-lap USRA
Hobby Stock feature with Bill Gibson and Jimmy Hayes making up the front row.
Hayes moved out front on lap 1, with Gibson and Mike Shelton battling for
second. Hayes would go on to lead all 12 laps and held off a last lap challenge
from Shelton to claim his second win of the season at the track. Gibson would
hold on for third, Bob Lynch was fourth, with Tim Kraber coming home in fifth.
Nathan Wood would finish in sixth and locked up his third track championship on
the 2006 season. Steve Allen and Kraber would pick up the heat race wins.
The best feature of the night
was the 18-lap Stock Car feature as Toby Johnson, Jason Cook and Matt Greiner
put on a show for the lead from the drop of the green until the checkered flag.
Johnson and Cook started the event on the front row, with Cook taking the early
lead. Johnson would slip under Cook on lap 3 to grab the top spot, but Cook
wouldn't give up. Johnson and Cook battled side-by-side with Greiner, who
started 10th, moving in to make it a three-way battle for the top spot. Greiner,
who ran the bottom of the speedway, and Johnson, who was up top, ran laps 10-15
side-by-side, before Greiner finally took the lead. Greiner then held off
Johnson and Cook over the final three laps to pick up his sixth win of the
season at the track. Cook's third-place finish was good enough for him to claim
his second consecutive track championship at Memphis. Mike Harward would come
home in fourth, with Ryan Cook rounding out the top five. Heat race winners were
Jason Cook and Jeremy Hamlin.
Steve Breazeale and Louis
Lynch led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 20-lap Mid-America 305
Winged Sprint feature, with Breazeale jumping out front on lap 1. Breazeale
would go on to hold off Jonathan Cornell throughout the entire 20 laps to pick
up the win. Marty Stephenson would come home in third, Jack Potter came from
11th to finish in fourth, with Mark Widmar coming from tenth to round out the
top five. Breazeale, Monty Hill and Widmar each picked up a heat race win.
The 15-lap Outlaw Hobby
feature saw Brian Clark and Jake Wenig drawing the front row, with Wenig moving
out front on lap 1. Wenig would go on to lead all 15 laps to cross the finish
line in first. But a post-race inspection found Wenig's car to have an illegal
carburetor, giving the win to second place finisher Brad Weber. Tim Dawson was
moved up to second, with third going to Beau Taylor, who started 11th, Rodger
Dresden came from twentieth to finish in fourth, with Michael St. Clair coming
home in fifth. Taylor's third place finish was more then enough for him to pick
up his first track championship. Heat race winners were Bob Lynch, Clark, Weber
and St. Clair, with Jeff Hamlin taking the semi win.
The final feature of the night
was the scheduled 20-lap Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds. Tony Fraise and Jared
Durbin drew the front row for the event, with Fraise taking advantage of his
start to grab the lead on lap 1. Fraise, in his newly purchased Skyrocket
Chassis, continued to pace the field, as Martin Bennett, who started twelfth,
was working his way to the front. Fraise was able to hold on in a shortened
feature to claim his sixth win of 2006 at Memphis. Martin Bennett finished a
close second, Mike Bennett was third, Matt Greiner came from eleventh to finish
in fourth, with Durbin holding on for fifth. Ryan Meyer crossed the finish line
in 10th, which was enough for him to hold on for the 2006 track championship.
Scott Dickey, Durbin and Meyer each picked up a heat race win.
Coming up next at the Pepsi
Scotland County Speedway is the 2nd Annual Pizza Hut Fall Nationals, Oct. 12-14.

VANDERBEEK, LETTOW, WOOD CAPTURE USRA CHECKERS AT 15TH ANNUAL MUSCO LIGHTING
FALL CHALLENGE
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Sept. 16) --
The 15th Annual Musco Lighting Fall Challenge wrapped on Saturday at the
Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, with the USRA Casey's General Stores
Weekly Racing Series in action. Checkers waved for Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon
(USRA Stock Cars), Matt Lettow of Roland (USRA B-Mods) and Nathan Wood of
Sigourney (USRA Hobby Stocks).
In the USRA Stock Car
feature, VanderBeek earned the pole position with a victory in the Pole Dash.
Despite several challenges throughout the race, the 'Z-Man' held off Friday
night's winner Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa for the $1,000 victory. Rookie Colt
Mather of Webster finished third, followed by Great American Stock Car Challenge
winner Bobby Greiner Jr. of Ottumwa. Oskaloosa's Steve Landgrebe rounded out the
top-5 finishers. VanderBeek owned the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster tonight
as he also went on to win the O'Reilly USMTS Modified main event later in the
night.
The debut of the USRA B-Mods
saw Lettow lead wire to wire from the pole position and pick up the $500 top
prize. Lettow held off Marshalltown's Ryan Gustin for the victory. Jacob Murray
of Hartford, Joe Docekal of Dysart and Raymond Lundry of Maynard completed the
first five across the finish line.
Wood notched his 26th
overall USRA Hobby Stock win of the season as he took home the $500 winner's
share of the purse. The Southern Iowa Speedway track champion and USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series national points leader went unchallenged
from green to checkered. Ottumwa's Mike Shelton finished second, with Bill
Gibson of Knoxville coming home in third. Fourth place went to Steve Holthaus of
Cresco, while Paul Nagle of Nevada finished fifth after starting 10th on the
grid.
Saturday night's action
closed the curtain on the 2006 racing season at the Southern Iowa Speedway. Next
up will be the annual awards banquet (time and date TBA). The 2007 schedule will
be released by RL Promotions before the end of the year.
The Southern Iowa Speedway
is located 0.5 mile west of US 63 on SR 92, then 0.3 mile north on N. I St. (at
the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds). For day-of-race information, call the track

SEASON
CHAMPIONSHIPS, $1,000 TO WIN USRA MODIFIEDS THIS SUNDAY AT CRESCO
CRESCO,
Iowa (Sept. 13) --
Season Championships for four classes -- USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA
Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Hobbies -- is this Sunday, Sept. 17, at the Cresco
Speedway in Cresco, Iowa. In addition to the battles for the 2006 track titles,
fans will also get a full program of the high-powered USRA Modifieds as they
battle for a $1,000 top prize.
In addition to Sunday being
the final event of the season at Cresco, many drivers are expected to get in
some last-chance points as Sunday is the final day for national points in the
USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series.
Defending track champ Tom
Schmitt of Independence holds a slim advantage (1297 to 1269) over Brian Gjere
of Mabel, Minn., in the race for the USRA Stock Car track championship. Tory
Riecks of Waucoma sits third with just a seven-point cushion over Protivin's
Lynn Panos. Shawn Peter of Mabel, Minn., rounds out the top five heading into
Sunday's finale.
Another close battle exists
in the USRA B-Modified division where Brian Kunkle of Oelwein clings to a
21-point bulge over Elgin's Jeremy LaPlant. Third in the USRA B-Mod rankings is
Junior Boyer of Calmar, followed by Chris Fretheim of Decorah and Jimmy Broszeit
of Postville.
The closest chase for the
crown is in the USRA Hobby Stock class. Chris Hovden of Cresco leads Elma's
Brandon Hare by a paltry five points going into the 2006 curtain-closer. Mitch
Hovden of Decorah is a distant third, with Kyle Buxengard of Spring Grove,
Minn., and Andy Stinson of Ridgeway rounding out the top five.
The Outlaw Hobby division is
led into Sunday's event by Patty Fosaaen, who holds a 26-point lead over her
fellow Waukon competitor Austin Curtin. Third in the standings is Ben Moudry of
Protivin, with Josh Ludeking of Decorah sitting in fourth and Decorah's Dillon
Anderson in fifth.
For the season finale, this
event is open to all drivers in all classes and a USRA license is not required
to compete. Modifieds, Stock Cars and B-Mods may use either the American Racer
KK704 or Hoosier G60 tire (grooving and siping is allowed).
Gates open 4 p.m., with hot
laps at 6:15 and racing at 6:30.
The Cresco Speedway is
located 0.2 miles north of SR 9 on SW 7th (at the Howard County Fairgrounds).

UTTER,
PINKERTON, GREINER, GIBSON TAKE SIS CHECKERS; PINKERTON, WOOD SECURE TITLES
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Sept. 13) --
The 2006 Coca-Cola Season Championships at the Southern Iowa Speedway are in the
books and the long-awaited return of the Keith's Foods Late Models to the
Oskaloosa, Iowa, speedplant were finally spared by Mother Nature. The result was
an action-packed four-division night of racing with three first-time visitors to
victory lane.
Bill Gibson of Knoxville
topped the field in the USRA Hobby Stock division for his first win at the
Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster, while the USRA Stock Car feature win went to
Washington driver Matt Greiner. The lightning-fast Late Models saw Jason Utter
of Columbus Junction take the win. The only repeat winner was Brad Pinkerton of
New Sharon, who won the Musco Lighting USRA Modified main event and secured the
track championship in both the Modified and Stock Car divisions. USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series national points leader Nathan Wood of
Keswick took the USRA Hobby Stock track championship.
The USRA Stock Car feature
was a battle between Colt Mather of Webster, Rick Gustin of Marshalltown and
Greiner. All three drivers swapped the lead with Gustin's night ending with
mechanical problems on the John Hunnell-owned No. 62 machine. Greiner powered
his No. 29 machine past Mather with nine laps remaining in the 18-lap event to
take the checkers. Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa took the runner-up spot with
Mather in third and Pinkerton fourth.
In the USRA Hobby Stock
feature, Bobby Greene of Eddyville looked to have the feature win in hand until
his night ended prematurely in the turn 4 fence after breaking a left front
wheel. Greene's misfortune turned over the lead to Gibson, who led the final
three laps for his first win at SIS. Gibson held off Mike Shelton of Ottumwa,
Rick Landgrebe of Sigourney taking third. The fourth spot went to Todd Reitzler,
who rolled his machine on lap 3 but was able to get it repaired and race his way
back to a fourth-place finish.
The Musco Lighting USRA
Modified feature was won by Pinkerton, who powered his way from 10th to the lead
in three laps with Chris Spieker of Massena taking second after starting 11th.
Scott Dickey of Packwood took third after going to the back earlier after
contact with Brandon Banks on lap 6 of the 20-lap event. Defending track champ
Steve Stewart of Washington took a hard fought fourth-place finish after running
second for the first seven laps.
In the Keith's Foods Late
Model feature, Utter snagged victory by mere inches, beating veteran driver Gary
Webb of Blue Grass by a whisker at the finish line. The third spot went to Tommy
Elston of Keokuk, who started 11th, followed by Todd Shute of Des Moines, who
took fourth after starting 16th. Local favorite T. J. Criss of Oskaloosa led the
first three laps before mechanical problems made him race his way from the tail
to finish in seventh.
In less than 48 hours, the
Oskaloosa air will be once again filled with the roar of engines as the 5th
Annual Musco Lighting Fall Challenge will take place on Friday and Saturday,
Sept. 15-16, with many of the region's top drivers looking to capture the title,
while others look to defend their crowns. This year will feature four classes in
action with the USRA B-Modifieds added to the racing schedule along with the
USRA Hobby Stocks, USRA Stock Cars and the O’Reilly Auto Parts United States
Modified Touring Series highlighting the action.
2004 O’Reilly USMTS Rookie
of the Year Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, Iowa, sits atop the ranking in ‘The
Hunt’ for the O’Reilly USMTS National Championship, which is comprised of the
final 16 events of the season. VanderBeek leads the ‘The Hunt’ standings with a
21-point cushion (492 to 471) over Watertown, S. D. 's Tesch, while Shryock is
38 markers behind the leader. Jason Friesen of Sutton, Neb. , who squeaked into
‘The Hunt’ with a 10th-place finish in the Dirt Works Southern Region, is fourth
with 428 points and Myer rounds out the top-5 with 410 points. The 5th Annual
Musco Lighting Fall Challenge will be the sixth and seventh events of ‘The Hunt’
for the O’Reilly USMTS National Championship.
Gates open at 4 p. m. on
Friday, with hot laps at 6:45 and racing at 7:15. On Saturday, gates open at 4
p. m. , hot laps are at 6 and the mud starts flyin' at 6:30. Friday's main event
winner will earn $2, 000 and Saturday's event will carry a top prize of $3, 000.
Both USRA Hobby Stocks and
USRA B-Mods will race for $200 to win on Friday, with $500 earmarked for each
winner on Saturday. USRA Stock Car drivers will battle for a $300 top prize on
Friday and Saturday's main event will feature a $1, 000 winner's share of the
purse. All cars will draw on Friday and Saturday night. Modifieds will re-draw
each night. In Stock Cars, Hobby Stocks and B-Mods, the top-6 qualifiers will
run a dash to establish starting positions in the "A" Main Saturday night. The
Dash will pay $100 to win in each class. No USRA license is required for this
race. For complete rules go to www. sispeedway. com and click on the Info link.

5TH
ANNUAL MUSCO LIGHTING FALL CHALLENGE SET FOR SEPT. 15-16 AT OSKALOOSA
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Sept. 11, 2006) --
The 5th Annual Musco Lighting Fall Challenge will take place on Friday and
Saturday, Sept. 15-16, at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, with
many of the region's top drivers looking to capture the title, while others look
to defend their crowns.
This year will feature four
classes in action with the USRA B-Modifieds added to the racing schedule along
with the USRA Hobby Stocks, USRA Stock Cars and the O'Reilly Auto Parts United
States Modified Touring Series highlighting the action.
In the O'Reilly USMTS Friday
night feature last year, Kelly Shryock of Fertile topped the field and pocketed
$2,000 while Tommy Myer of Blooming Prairie, Minn., snared the $3,000 top prize
in Saturday's finale.
Shryock also won the Friday
night portion of the program in 2004 after sweeping both nights in 2003. The
seven-time defending O'Reilly USMTS national champion also captured the Saturday
finale in 2002 when the event was a three-day affair. Chris Spieker of Masena
and John VanDenBerg of Oskaloosa won the preliminary events in the inaugural
event. Bruce Hanford of Davenport won the Saturday night finale in 2004.
Overall, Shryock has captured 10 O'Reilly USMTS events at Oskaloosa, including
the last visit on Aug. 2.
2004 O’Reilly USMTS Rookie
of the Year Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, Iowa, sits atop the ranking in ‘The
Hunt’ for the O’Reilly USMTS National Championship, which is comprised of the
final 16 events of the season. The 5th Annual Musco Lighting Fall Challenge will
be the sixth and seventh events of ‘The Hunt’ for the O’Reilly USMTS National
Championship.
VanderBeek leads the ‘The
Hunt’ standings with a 21-point cushion (492 to 471) over Watertown, S.D.'s
Tesch, while Shryock is 38 markers behind the leader. Jason Friesen of Sutton,
Neb., who squeaked into ‘The Hunt’ with a 10th-place finish in the Dirt Works
Southern Region, is fourth with 428 points and Myer rounds out the top-5 with
410 points.
‘The Hunt’ for the O’Reilly
USMTS National Championship continues with the running of the 5th Annual Musco
Lighting Fall Challenge at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, on
Friday and Saturday, Sept. 15-16. Gates open at 4 p.m. on Friday, with hot laps
at 6:45 and racing at 7:15. On Saturday, gates open at 4 p.m., hot laps are at 6
and the mud starts flyin' at 6:30. Friday's main event winner will earn $2,000
and Saturday's event will carry a top prize of $3,000.
In 2005, Curt Hook of Ackley
topped the USRA Hobby Stock main event on Friday with Eddyville driver Bobby
Greene taking the win on Saturday night. In the USRA Stock Car division,
hometown hero Ron Ver Beek took the win on Friday night while current track
points leader Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon grabbed the win on Saturday night.
This year, the USRA B-Modifieds will make their debut at the Southern Iowa
Speedway, with the possibility of becoming a regular fixture on the weekly
Wednesday night program in 2007.
Both USRA Hobby Stocks and
USRA B-Mods will race for $200 to win on Friday, with $500 earmarked for the
winners on Saturday. USRA Stock Car drivers will battle for a $300 top prize on
Friday and Saturday's main event will feature a $1,000 winner's share of the
purse.

CUNNINGHAM FERTILIZER SEASON CHAMPIONSHIPS SET FOR SEPT. 30 AT PEPSI SCOTLAND
COUNTY SPEEDWAY
by Brian Neal
MEMPHIS, Mo. (Sept. 9) --
The Cunningham Fertilizer Season Championships at the Pepsi Scotland County
Speedway in Memphis, Mo., which were rained out back on Saturday, Aug. 26, has
been rescheduled for Saturday, Sept. 30. The battle for the USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series track points will come to an end and the
2006 Pepsi Scotland County Speedway track champions will be crowned at night's
end.
Ryan Meyer currently leads
Michael Long by 18 points in the Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds. Meyer needs
to finish fifth or better in the feature and he will be the 2006 track
champion. Defending champion Tony Fraise has a nine-point lead over Mike
Bennett in the battle for third place in points, while Jared Durbin holds a
three-point lead over David Wietholder for the fifth place points finish. Bob
Dale, Mark Burgtorf, Martin Bennett and Dennis Elliott round out the top-10 in
points.
The defending track
champion and current points leader in the USRA Stock Cars is Jason Cook. He
holds a 32-point advantage over Matt Greiner in the battle for a repeat title.
Cook needs to finish 11th or better in the feature and he will defend his
track championship in the USRA Stock Cars. Troy Alexander leads Ryan Cook by
four points in the battle for the third place finish in points. Mark Holt,
Jeremy Hamlin, Jody Small, Steve Steinkuhler, Chris Wibbell and Brandon
Elenbaas round out the top 10 in points entering the finale.
Tony Dunker doesn't even
have to show up and he will still win the Advance Trading USRA B-Modified
track championship. Dunker has a 153-point advantage over Jeff Waterman, which
is enough for him to claim his first track championship at the Pepsi Scotland
County Speedway. Waterman has a battle for second with Joe Hooper, as he holds
a 23-point lead over him for the battle for second. Tom Bowen, Jim Gillenwater,
Brandon Savage, Jerry Poor, Jack Evans Jr., Larry Newman and Josh Larson
complete the top 10 in points.
The battle for the USRA
Hobby Stock track championship will come down between USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series national points leader Nathan Wood and Mike
Shelton. Wood currently holds a 28-point lead over Shelton, and all Wood has
to do in the feature is finish ninth or better and he will be crowned the
first USRA Hobby Stock track champion at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway.
Bill Gibson, Jason VanZomeren, Rick Sands, Robby Sands, Chris Hudson, Clayton
Robbins, Mark Moore and Daniel Robbins finish out the top 10 in points.
Beau Taylor has already
clinched his first Outlaw Hobby Stock track championship at the Pepsi Scotland
County Speedway. Taylor leads Rodger Dresden by 120 points -- enough to have
already been crowned track champion. Dresden, however, has a battle with Brain
Clark for second place in points. Dresden only leads Clark by two points. Jeff
Soper sits in fourth, with Adam Birck holding a nine-point advantage over
Brian Howerton for fifth, with Howerton leading Michael St. Clair by 12 points
in the battle for sixth. Justin Hamelton, Jim Lynch and Jimmy Hooper round out
the top 10.
All Andrew Hustead has to
do is sign in on Saturday, Sept. 30, and the 2006 Hornet track championship is
his. He leads Brent Hartley by 70 points. J.D. Murphy, Bill Young, Cody
Martin, Brian Lemen, Jim Hamilton, Matt Moore, Gordon Blankenship Jr. and
Tyler Schulte complete the top 10.
Gates will open at 4:30
p.m., with hot laps at 6:30 and racing to follow. All pit passes and
grandstand passes will be honored for those who had already paid before the
rains moved in and canceled the event back on Aug. 26. Plus, this is a
draw/redraw event, so any new cars are welcome to attend.
Come and see who will win
the battle for the track championships at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway
on Saturday, Sept. 30. A huge field of cars is expected as this will be a
great time for the drivers to come and try out the track before the 2nd Annual
Pizza Hut Memphis Fall Nationals, Oct. 12-14.

ELLIOTT, COOK, WOOD, PORTER GARNER 2006 TRACK TITLES AT MOUNTAIN DEW
BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (Sept. 7) --
The 2006 season came to a close on Friday, Aug. 25, at the Mountain Dew
Bloomfield Speedway with four drivers emerging as USRA Casey's General Stores
Weekly Racing Series track champions for 2006 at the Bloomfield, Iowa,
speedplant.
Jared Durbin of Fort
Madison and Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr came into the final event of the season
for the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds with the points championship up for
grabs. After passing two cars late in the main event, Elliott finished ninth
and gave himself just enough points to capture the track title by six markers
over Durbin. Although he recorded no feature wins during the season, Elliott
was consistent with nine top-5 finishes to his credit. Rookie Brandon Banks of
Washington finished third in the final rankings, followed by Casey Lancaster
of Glenwood, Mo., in fourth and Bloomfield's Jerry Pilcher fifth.
The Hougland's Repair Shop
USRA Stock Cars came down to a sibling rivalry with Jason Cook of Mt. Pleasant
holding off his brother, Ryan, by 70 points (13777 to 1307) for the title.
Mike Harward of Bloomfield finished third behind the West Point pilot, while
rookie Colt Mather of Webster finished fourth. Tyler McClure of Floris wound
up fifth in the final standings.
Nathan Wood of Sigourney
wrapped up the Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stock crown when he signed in on the
final night. Wood captured four checkered flags and seven runner-up finishes
throughout 2006 to clinch the title and add to his lead in the national
standings for the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series. Jim Sulser
of Centerville inherited the runner-up spot in the final points standings when
Ben Jones of Williamsburg refused technical inspection after the final main
event of the season. Jones, who won nine features including the season finale,
forfeited all of his points earned for the season. Jim Walker of Mystic wound
up third in the final points, followed by Derek Kirkland of Centerville and
Ottumwa's Ray Lasser Jr.
Dale Porter of Floris also
had his track championship in the bag before the final race of the season, but
went on to win the last main event of the year -- his sixth overall -- and pad
his advantage in the Kollision Korner Hornets. Kevin Garrett of Bloomfield
finished second in the final points, followed by Gene Irwin of Bloomfield,
Ottumwa's Larry Hopkins and Tom Irwin of Bloomfield.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, September 7, 2006
BAKKEN,
SCHMITT, BROWN, HADACEK, BAKER, FETT CLAIM 2006 TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS AT
PRITCHARD FAMILY AUTO STORES HANCOCK COUNTY SPEEDWAY
BRITT,
Iowa (Sept. 7) --
With the 2006 season coming to a close at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores
Hancock County Speedway, six new drivers emerged as USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series track champions for the 2006 season at the Britt,
Iowa, speedplant.
In the high-powered USRA
Modified division, Brad Bakken of Garner concluded a dominating season with
his first track championship. Bakken, who finished second the points last
season, won an impressive nine of the 15 USRA Modified races this season, and
bested Algona's Ed Green for the crown. Clint Wendel of Mason City finished
third in the final standings, followed by Doug Doocy of Lone Rock and T.J.
Stalker of Mason City.
In the USRA Stock Car class,
Tom Schmitt of Independence made the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock
County Speedway a regular Friday night stop during 2006 and parlayed seven
main event wins into a track championship. Schmitt finished 45 points ahead of
Forest City's Jeff Dolphin, who raced to three victories during the 2006
campaign but settled for the runner-up spot in the points for the second
straight year. Ryan Hiscocks of Britt finished third, John Campbell of Belmond
was fourth and Renwick's Chad Palmer rounded out the top five.
Logan Brown finished just a
handful of points outside of the top-10 in last season's final USRA B-Modified
points, but the Messervey youngster used two wins an consistent finishes this
season to emerge as the 2006 track champion. Brown sealed the title with two
laps to go in the final points race of the season where he finished seventh
while Manly's J.J. Wise finished third. Brown's margin of victory over Wise
was just four points. Defending track champion Jake Simpson of Algona wound up
third in the final standings, with Jamie Anderson of Mason City fourth and
Jesse Hoeft of Forest City in fifth. All of the top five drivers were in
contention for the crown entering the Aug. 25 finale.
The battle for the USRA
Hobby Stock title also came down to the wire, and it took a little luck --
good or bad, depending on which side you were on -- for Britt's Randy Hadacek
to lay claim to the title. Trailing Algona's Michael Schadendorf by nine
points going into the final main event of the season, Hadacek got the feature
win to earn the maximum points possible and forcing Schadendorf to finish
second in order to secure the title. While running third, however, Schadendorf
was knocked out of the race by another car and his hopes for a title were
dashed. A third-place finish would have resulted in a tie for the points lead,
but Hadacek would have been crowned the champion based on his five wins to
Schadendorf's one. Tony Smidt of Britt finished third in the final standings,
with Chris Monson of Clear Lake fourth and Chad Gentz of Forest City in fifth.
In the Hornet division, Matt
Baker of Britt captured the Senior Hornet crown over Algona's Brandon Ostwald.
The Junior Hornet track championship went to Colby Fett of Thompson, who won
seven feature races in 2006.
Next up will the
season-ending awards banquet with time and place to be announced. The schedule
for the 2007 season at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County
Speedway will be announced before year's end.

OSKALOOSA
RAINED OUT, POSTPONED TO SEPT. 12
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 29) --
The long-awaited return of the mud-slinging Late Models to the Southern Iowa
Speedway will have to wait two more weeks.
After surviving an early
morning shower, the stage was set for an epic battle on the Oskaloosa, Iowa,
clay Tuesday night. However, Mother Nature reared her ugly head again around 5
p.m., bringing more rain and even some hail to the grounds of the Mahaska County
Half-Mile Monster.
Officials are hoping that
the third time's the charm. The twice postponed event will now be held on
Tuesday, Sept. 12.
The Late Models will join
the regular USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series program of Musco
Lighting USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars and USRA Hobby Stocks as they compete
for titles in the Coca-Cola Season Championships.
Many of the region's top
Late Model pilots will be on hand to fight for a spot in $200-to-start main
event, which carries a $2,000 top prize. More than 30 teams were in attendance
one month ago before the event was rained out without a lap completed.
Gates open at 5 p.m. and the
green flag flies at 7:30 p.m.
Line-ups will be determined
using a draw/redraw format for all classes. Draw cutoff time for heat races is
7:00 p.m. Late Model entry fee is $75. There is no entry fee for Modifieds,
Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks. Pit passes are $25. No USRA license or car
registration is required for any class. Modifieds and Stock Cars may use
American Racer KK704 or Hoosier G60 tires.
LATE
MODEL RULES:

VANDERBEEK, MATHER, GIBSON, PORTER, STEPHENSON TAKE SEASON CHAMPIONSHIP CHECKERS
AT MOUNTAIN DEW BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (Aug. 25) --
The final night of USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series was held at
the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway with 89 cars checked in for Season
Championships Night. This was the second largest car count ever, second only to
the 100+ car count earlier in the year at Bloomfield. All five of the feature
events were thrillers with two of the night's point battles coming down to the
final lap of the main event to find out who was the track champion.
In the Kollision Korner
Hornet division, the track championship was already decided before the event,
but Dale Porter of Floris still wanted another win to add to his resume along
with the track championship. Porter held off last week's winner, Larry Hopkins
of Ottumwa, who took second, with Gene Irwin of Bloomfield taking third and Ryan
Yanke of Bloomfield in fourth.
The Mid America 305 Winged
Sprint feature saw Louis Lynch of Glenwood, Mo., pace the field for the first 14
laps with a battle between himself and Mark Widmar of Ottumwa, who tried several
times to make the pass on Lynch. On lap eight of the 16-lap event, however,
Widmar made contact with the inside tire barrier, sending him to the back of the
field. On the restart, the two green machines of Lynch and Des Moines' Matt
Stephenson put on a show with wheel-to-wheel action. With only three laps
remaining, Stephenson tried the slide job coming off of turn 4, causing Lynch to
apply the brakes and giving Stephenson the lead. Lynch tried to regain the lead,
but ended up in the runner-up spot when the checkers flew. This was Stephenson's
first win in the division. The third spot went to rookie Logan Trueblood of
Memphis, Mo., who had his best finish of the year. Veteran driver Bob Lamb of
Mitchellville, in the Black Sheep Motorsports No. 47 machine, took fourth after
bringing out a new car for this event.
In the Hougland's Repair
Shop USRA Stock Car feature, Phil McClure of Floris and Chris Hawkins of
Drakesville battled for the race lead with Hawkins leading the first lap. Shane
Weller of Agency closed the gap and battled for the lead, taking the top spot on
the second circuit. Weller led the next eight laps before Colt Mather of Webster
and Matt Greiner of Washington closed in on the race leader, making for a
three-wide battle for the lead. Mather took the advantage using the bottom side
of the speedway, with Greiner running a close second with Weller slipping back
to third. Mather led the final seven laps with Greiner trying several times to
pass Mather on the bottom side of the racing surface but ended up in the second
spot. The battle for third spot heated up between Weller and Mike Harward, who
went door-to-door the final three laps with Harward taking third and Weller
settling for fourth.
The fourth feature of the
night was the Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stocks with a battle between first and
second only separated by 42 points between Nathan Wood of Keswick and Ben Jones
of Williamsburg, who held the crown from last year and was trying to repeat as
the track champion. Jim Sulser of Centerville and Mike Shelton of Ottumwa led
the field to the green flag with Shelton taking the lead and would lead until
lap six before Jones took the lead and crossed the finish line in first. After
post-race inspection, however, Jones was disqualified. Bill Gibson of Knoxville,
who finished second, was awarded his first win of the 2006 season at the
Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway, and third of his career. The runner-up spot
went to Wood who also locked up the 2006 track championship regardless of Jones'
disqualification. Jim Sulser scored third and Ray Lasser Jr. of Ottumwa garnered
the fourth spot.
In the final feature of the
night it was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds in action with Jared Durbin
of Fort Madison and Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr battling for the track title with
Elliott taking the crown by only six points after the checkered flag flew.
Durbin led the first six laps of the 20-lap event with Jerry Pilcher of
Bloomfield battling Durbin for the lead. With the two drivers going
wheel-to-wheel, this allowed Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon to close the gap and
make for a three-car battle with VanderBeek taking the lead while Durbin and
Pilcher continued to battle for the second position. The runner-up spot was
getting very heated with young rising star Brandon Banks of Washington passing
both Pilcher and Durbin for the second spot with Brad Pinkerton following into
third. Pinkerton also passed Banks for the second spot with Durbin regaining the
third spot with only three laps remaining while brake problems sent Banks back
to a sixth-place finish after making a strong run. Pilcher work his way back to
finish fourth behind VanderBeek, Pinkerton and Durbin. After passing two cars
late in the main event, Elliott finished ninth and gave himself enough points to
capture the track title by six markers.

KONKEL,
GJERE, LAPLANT, HARE, LUDEKING CAPTURE CRESCO CHECKERS; PITTMAN CROWNED USRA
MODIFIED TRACK CHAMP
CRESCO,
Iowa (Aug. 27) --
The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series rolled on Sunday at the
Cresco Speedway with the USRA Modifieds battling for bragging rights on their
final event of 2006 and the CPU/i wireless Modified Season Championship.
In Outlaw Hobby action,
Jason Borsheim of Mabel, Minn., crossed the finish line first, but was
disqualified during post-race technical inspection, giving the win to Jake
Ludeking of Decorah. Austin Curtin of Waukon moved up to pocket the runner-up
paycheck, while Brady Halverson of Ridgeway garnered third. Fourth went to Tony
Vick of Ridgeway and points leader Patty Fosaaen of Waukon completed the first
five across the finish line.
Elma's Brandon Hare captured
the USRA Hobby Stock feature, with Chris Hovden of Cresco, Mitch Hovden of
Decorah, David Lickteig of Cresco and Ridgeway's Andy Stinson finishing second
through fifth, respectively.
The USRA B-Modified main
event saw Jeremy LaPlant of Elgin hold off the challenges of points leader Brian
Kunkle for the win. Shane Panos of Decorah was third, Junior Boyer of Calmar
finished fourth and Chris Fretheim of Decorah garnered the fifth spot.
Brian Gjere of Mabel, Minn.,
captured the USRA Stock Car checkers with a powerful run from the fifth starting
spot. Waucoma's Tory Reicks took second, Tom Schmitt of Independence finished
third, Lynn Panos of Protivin grabbed fourth and Shawn Peter of Mabel, Minn.,
rounded out the top five finishers.
The excitement for the USRA
main event was increased when Dan Bohr of Decorah accepted the Bud Challenge and
started 16th in the field. Charging toward the front, Bohr had climbed to third
before his motor turned sour and lost a cylinder. Opening night winner Darren
Walsh led from the start before Brad Bakken of Garner caught him. The pair raced
side by side into turn 1 and made contact, resulting in both drivers ending up
at the back of the field. Defending track champion Ron Konkel was strong all
night and took home the victory while Kevin Pittman of Waterloo was second. West
Union's Layne Meyer finished third while Bohr hung on for fourth. Michael
Darnell was fifth. Pittman had the USRA Modified track championship sewn up
before the first green flag of the evening.
The action returns to the
Cresco speedway next Sunday, Sept. 3, for the final event of the 2006 season as
the Bumper To Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Car Series bring their fire-breathing 410
winged machines for the annual Budweiser Labor Day Classic presented by Kabrick
Distributing. Also on the menu will be Season Championship races for four
classes in the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series: USRA Stock
Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Hobbies.
The Cresco Speedway is
located 0.2 miles north of SR 9 on SW 7th (at the Howard County Fairgrounds).

SHRYOCK,
SCHMITT, ANDERSON, HADACEK, FISH, OSTWALD TAKE FINAL CHECKERS OF 2006 AT BRITT
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT,
Iowa (Aug. 25) --
A true sign of summer ending occurred on Friday night at the Pritchard Family
Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway as Three Eagles Communication and K97
presented the final night of regular season racing in Britt, Iowa. The evening
began with driver introductions and a chance for the hard-working mechanics to
get behind the wheel and display their driving ability. From then on, it was
racing as usual.
The non-sanctioned Modifieds
got the feature races underway. Kelly Shryock, Rich Lewerke and Ryan Ruter all
made the show amongst the track's usual suspects. In a night of racing that saw
the hide side as the fast track, Shryock flashed from his sixth position to the
lead. Behind him, USRA Modified track champion Brad Bakken raced side by side
with Ruter. It wasn’t until the end when Bakken created some space for himself.
Shryock crossed the stripe first followed by Bakken and Ruter.
In the Hornet feature race,
both Juniors and Seniors were on the track together. This made for a seven-car
feature. Colby Fett provided the excitement for the evening as he rolled his #00
four times down the backstretch. Fett was able to walk away from the accident.
Devin Fish took home the Junior Hornet victory as Brandon Ostwald gathered the
Senior Hornet trophy.
Next on tap were the USRA
B-Modifieds. The usual frontrunners saw themselves in a familiar place on Friday
night. Jake Simpson, J.J. Wise and Jamie Anderson led the field of drivers with
plenty of pressure from the field behind them. The race saw two cautions as
Anderson and Simpson battled back and forth for the front spot. Behind them,
Wise and the #65D of Dustin Brown had a battle of their own. In the end, it was
Anderson picking up another victory followed by Simpson, Wise and Brown. In the
points battle, it was Dustin’s older brother, Logan, whom finished in seventh
position and took the season championship.
In one of the closest point
races of all the classes, the USRA Hobby Stocks took to the stage. Michael
Schadendorf and Randy Hadacek were first and second in points going into the
race with Schadendorf clinging to a nine-point advantage. Hadacek had the better
starting position and took advantage of that spot. The #5 jumped to the head of
the field followed closely behind by five cars all battling for position. In the
third caution, the #24 of Schadendorf exited the track only to return with just
seven laps to go. The lead of Hadacek proved to be insurmountable as he took
home the victory and the track title. Tony Smidt, Chad Lundy, Chad Gentz and
Mike Jergens rounded out the top five.
The USRA Stock Cars were set
to finish the night with a bang. Eleven cars made the call and all were on their
best behavior. In a race that allotted no cautions, Tom Schmitt was able to,
once again, move up from his eighth starting position to take home the checkered
flag and the points championship for the season. In a three-way battle for
second, Travis Hoeft was able to hold off Kevin Hoeft and Chad Palmer.
The Dixies Chicks were also
on hand for the much-anticipated racing quilt giveaway. Congratulations to Steve
DeVary on winning the quilt. Thank you to all of those who have supported the
Dixies Chicks!
Next up will the
season-ending awards banquet on Saturday, Nov. 4 (time and place to be
announced). For more information, call (515) 832-6000 or go to http://www.rlpromotions.com/britt

OSKALOOSA,
Iowa (Aug. 25) --
It's been a long wait but, after a four-year hiatus and a rainout in July, the
long-awaited return of the mud-slinging Late Models comes to the Southern Iowa
Speedway on Tuesday, Aug. 29, for an epic battle on the Oskaloosa, Iowa, clay.
The Late Models will join the regular USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series program of Musco Lighting USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars and USRA Hobby
Stocks as they compete for titles in the Coca-Cola Season Championships.
Many of the region's top Late
Model pilots will be on hand to fight for a spot in $200-to-start main event,
which carries a $2,000 top prize. More than 30 teams were in attendance one
month ago before the event was rained out without a lap completed.
"We have fielded dozens of
calls from Late Model drivers all over Iowa and surrounding States about this
event," said Todd Staley, promoter of the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster.
"Coupled with the huge response we've gotten from fans, we're expecting this to
be a jam-packed joint for what promises to be a classic race."
Tickets are just $15 for
adults, with juniors (13-18) and seniors (62+) getting in for $12. As always,
children 12 and under are admitted FREE. Gates open at 5 p.m. and the green flag
flies at 7:30. There are no reserved seats for this race, so get there early!
Line-ups will be determined
using a draw/redraw format for all classes. Draw cutoff time for heat races is
7:00 p.m. Late Model entry fee is $75. There is no entry fee for Modifieds,
Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks. Pit passes are $25. No USRA license or car
registration is required for any class. Modifieds and Stock Cars may use
American Racer KK704 or Hoosier G60 tires.
LATE MODEL RULES:

Hoosier WRS D55/D55-2 or lMCA-stamped Hoosier allowed.

PINKERTON, WOOD REPEAT WINNERS; VANDERBEEK TAKES STOCK CAR CHECKERS AT SOUTHERN
IOWA SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 23) --
The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series was in action for another
Wild, Wild Wednesday on Kids Night at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa,
Iowa. All kids 11 and under were admitted free and had a chance to pick up some
candy and cold, hard cash on the front stretch.
The racing season is quickly
coming to an end with next week being the final night with the Coca-Cola Season
Championships. All three classes with the high-powered Late Models added to
Tuesday night's action. Late Model drivers will be gunning for $2,000 to win.
The moving to Tuesday night, Aug. 29, was announced by promoter Todd Staley to
allow drivers to run Tuesday night at Osky and Wednesday night at the Lee County
Speedway in Donnellson.
In the first feature of the
night, Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon topped the Musco Lighting USRA Modified
feature, coming from the 10th starting spot and working the high side of the
racing surface to make his passes. Veteran driver Bruce Hanford of Davenport led
the first seven laps before Pinkerton took the lead and cruised to victory lane.
The runner-up spot went to Hanford, who battled hard with Zack VanderBeek.
VanderBeek had trouble in his heat race and damaged the right side of the car,
forcing him to start 16th. But VanderBeek raced his way to second before
mechanical problems ended his run. Mike Hughes of Rose Hill made his return to
the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster a good one by taking the third spot, while
Barry Sandeman of Creston raced his way from the 11th starting spot to finish
fourth.
The USRA Hobby Stock feature
went to Nathan Wood of Sigourney, who raced his way from the tenth starting spot
to the front, taking the lead from Jared Sanders of New Sharon. Sanders led the
first eight laps of the 15-lap main event. The battle for the second was very
exciting with Bobby Greene and Dustin Griffiths going wheel-to-wheel for several
laps before Greene took the runner-up spot. Greene, however, was disqualified
after the event for an illegal carburetor. This gave Bill Gibson the second spot
with Mike Shelton of Ottumwa in third and Rick Landgrebe of Sigourney taking the
fourth spot. The red flag stopped the action on the second lap after Kirk Brown
of Knoxville rolled in turn 2. He was not hurt.
In the USRA Stock Car
feature, Zack VanderBeek worked his way from the sixth starting spot to take the
win. The battle for second was a thriller with Brad Pinkerton and Brian Mitrisin
of Oskaloosa going wheel-to-wheel and door-to-door for the final seven laps with
Pinkerton making the pass with only one lap remaining. Mitrisin took third and
rookie driver Nathan Wood snared the fourth spot.
Next week's racing action
will be on Tuesday night, Aug. 29, with the Coca-Cola Season Championships for
the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series along with the big-bodied
dirt Late Models invading the big half-mile oval with their earth-pounding
horsepower gunning for the $2,000 top prize.
The Southern Iowa Speedway
is located 0.5 mile west of US 63 on SR 92, then 0.3 mile north on N. I St. (at
the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds). For more information call the track hotline at

CRESCO
LAURELS TO BOHR, SCHMITT, KUNKLE, KRAUSKOPF, HOVDEN
CRESCO,
Iowa (Aug. 20) --
The USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series continued at the Cresco Speedway on Sunday, Aug. 20,
featuring USRA-sanctioned Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and
Outlaw Hobbies. With the Modified season championship just one week away, and
titles to be decided in all other classes on Sept. 3, the action was fast and
furious from the first green flag until the final checkered flag waved.
In a thrilling battle
between track champion hopefuls, Chris Hovden of Cresco fought of the challenges
of Elma's Brandon Hare to take the victory in the USRA Hobby Stock division. The
win padded Hovden's points lead over Hare from five to ten markers with just two
races remaining in the season. Bill Meyer of Sumner finished third, with Kyle
Buxengard of Spring Grove, Minn., and Paul Howard of Waukon rounding out the top
five finishers.
In Outlaw Hobby action, Kurt
Krauskopf of Decorah picked up his first win of the season as he beat Protivin's
Ben Moudry to the finish line. Points leader Patty Fosaaen of Waukon, Tom Fink
of Waukon and Neil Thesing of Oakdale completed the first five across the
stripe.
Brian Kunkle of Oelwein
extended his points lead in the USRA B-Modified class as he scored his sixth
main event win of the 2006 season. Raymond Lundry of Maynard finished second
ahead of Postville's Jimmy Broszeit, while polesitter Chris Fretheim of Decorah
took fourth. Jeremy LaPlant of Elgin, who is currently second in points and
trying to run down Kunkle for the title, finished fifth.
Picking up his seventh
checkered flag of the year, Tom Schmitt of Independence moved closer to
defending his USRA Stock Car track championship crown as he raced to the win
from ninth on the starting grid. Eighth-starting Tory Reicks of Waucoma grabbed
the runner-up spot, with 10th-starting Brian Gjere of Mabel, Minn., in third.
Lynn Panos of Protivin was fourth and Shawn Peter of Mabel, Minn., was fifth.
In the USRA Modified main
event, Dan Bohr of Decorah garnered his seventh top-five finish of the season,
but first main event win as he outgunned Garner's Brad Bakken for the top spot.
Todd Ihde of Decorah took home a third-place paycheck, while Darrin Walch of
Postville and Keith Pittman of Waterloo rounded out the top five finishers.
Points leader Kevin Pittman of Waterloo struggled to a seventh-place finish, but
still managed to clinch the 2006 USRA Modified track points title heading into
next week's finale for the division.
The action returns to the
Cresco speedway next Sunday, Aug. 27, CPU/i wireless presents the final points
race of the 2006 season for the mud-slinging USRA Modifieds, plus action in all

SCHMITT,
GUSTIN GARNER GOLD AT 2ND ANNUAL BUDWEISER USRA STOCK CAR NATIONALS PRESENTED BY
KABRICK DISTRIBUTING
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT,
Iowa (Aug. 11)
-- Bragging rights for the 2nd
Annual Budweiser USRA Stock Car Nationals presented by Kabrick Distributing were
settled on Friday night at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County
Speedway. Local drivers and several out-of-towners made their way into the pits
to rev their engines for the showdown.
After two nights of
qualifying for the USRA Stock Cars and B-Modifieds, Friday night was the last
chance to make the feature with an unusually big purse. The Stocks Cars were
aiming for $5,000 to win and $1,000 to start as the B-Modifieds had $1,000 on
the line for the victor and $400 to start. With two last chance races for the
Stock Cars and one for the B-Modifieds, the night got underway with action in
the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series.
The USRA Modified feature
was originally scheduled to start with seven drivers. When they pulled on the
track, a fan-favorite black machine brought up the tail end of the pack. In a
new Shaw chassis, Ryan Ruter made many fans smile. In just two laps, the Triple
Nickel pulled into the second position behind the #50 of Brad Bakken. It
appeared that the only way Ruter would be able to pull off a victory was to see
the yellow flag fly. With two laps to go that is just what happened. However, on
a bad start by Ruter, Bakken took the lead and the #87 of Doug Doocy took the
front two spots. Some contact between Ruter and Doocy in turn 1 gave Bakken
breathing room as they were both in the rear on the restart. Bakken crossed the
stripe first followed by T.J. Stalker, Doocy and Ruter.
Six Hornet cars made up the
Junior and Senior feature. A battle between the #03 of Matt Baker and the
usually dominant #21 of Brandon Ostwald gave the fans a show until Baker was
able to pull away to a Senior Hornet victory. In the Junior Hornet class, the #8
of Jordan Prehn got his first victory of the season.
Twenty-six USRA Hobby Stocks
were ready to show the fans what they were made of on Friday night at the Britt
speedplant. Randy Hadacek was out to a quick lead by with just two laps
complete, he was off the pace with a flat tire. That opened the door for the
#56h of Brandon Hare. After the first caution of the race, drivers were 3-wide
on the front stretch causing some contact. Hare was able to keep himself clean
and start the drivers on a single-file restart. Gary Lalor gave cause for the
fans to stand as he battled Hare to the finish line. The #56h took the checked
as Lalor came in a close second. Josh Hohensee of Pocahontas, Iowa, made a good
run in his #68 from his 20th starting position to pick up a fifth place finish.
The USRA B-Modified drivers
had already gotten a paycheck of at least $400 just by making the feature. Ryan
Gustin was not satisfied as he jumped out to an early lead. The 15-year-old was
able to pull away from the field thanks to a caution-free race for the first
half. It didn’t take long for the 13-year-old driver from Ames -- Nate Caruth
-- to make his way up to the second position after the help of the first
caution. The final lap caused some cheers as Caruth made a move in turn 4 but
was unable to pass the race leader. Gustin proved himself after a
disqualification on Wednesday night. Caruth, Doug McCollough, Alex Hanson and
Matt Lettow rounded out the top five.
The showdown was set and
$1,000 was already pocketed by the USRA Stock Car drivers that were able to make
the 26-car feature. However, the ultimate prize of $5,000 sounded a bit better.
The front of the field was packed with experience, and the victory was up for
grabs. Tory Riecks, who won a big prize earlier this season, jumped out to an
early lead from the pole position. Last year’s winner, Tom Schmitt, was hot on
his heals after the first caution as they battled side-by-side. Once Schmitt saw
some daylight, there was no return. Schmitt pulled away in his #18 hot rod.
Without a caution to mention in the latter part of the race, all Scott Bauer,
Brian Gjere and Kevin Opheim could do was follow Schmitt’s tracks and battle for
their own position. Schmitt made it twice as nice with a victory followed by
Bauer, Gjere, and Opheim in that order. Riecks crossed the stripe in 7th
position.
Next Friday, Aug. 18, Three
Eagles Communications and K97 present the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly
Racing Series featuring USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks, plus
Hornets. Non-sanctioned A-Modifieds will also be part of the program. Admission
is $9 for adults, with juniors (12-18) & seniors (62+) $7 while children Under
12 are FREE. Gates open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at 7:30.

ELSTON
TOPS KEITH'S FOODS LATE MODELS AT BLOOMFIELD
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (Aug. 11) --
The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series was in action Friday with
the four regular classes, along with the Keith's Foods Super Late Models, making
for five exciting feature events but the fans still being able to walk out the
gate at 10 p.m. and headed home.
This was the final
appearance of the season for the Keith's Foods Super Late Models at the Mountain
Dew Bloomfield Speedway and 14 cars put on a thrilling show with Rickey Frankel
of Quincy, Ill., looking to have his first ever feature win in the bag, but the
caution flag spoiled his run to the checkers. Tommy Elston of Keokuk took
advantage of the yellow and took the lead on the restart going into turn 1.
Elston never looked back and led the final nine laps for the win. Frankel took
the runner-up spot with Paul Glendenning of Mt. Ayr taking third and another
Quincy, Ill., driver cracking into the top five as Justin Reed took the fourth
spot ahead of Ryan Vicker of Redding.
In the Kollision Korner
Hornet feature, Larry Hopkins of Ottumwa led all 10 laps and held of points
leader Dale Porter of Floris for the win. Tom Irwin of Bloomfield finished third
and David Probasco of Moulton took the fourth spot in a feature that went green
to checkered for the second straight week with some exciting door-to-door
action.
The Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby
Stock feature saw Wade Francis of Eddyville take the race lead with Mark Moore
of Ottumwa running second, but the two drivers that battled form the back were
Nathan Wood of Keswick and last week's feature winner, Ben Jones of
Williamsburg. Both drivers worked the high side and low side of the track to
pass cars, then battled for the race lead with Francis. Jones made the pass with
Wood running a close second while Francis got shuffled back to third with Jim
Walker of Mystic and Mike Shelton of Ottumwa battling for the fourth spot. When
the checkers flew, Jones crossed the line first for the third straight week,
followed by Wood in second and Francis taking his best finish of the year in
third. Walker scored the fourth spot.
The Hougland's Repair Shop
USRA Stock Car feature was another thriller with Bloomfield's Michael McClure
and Lonnie Taylor battling for the race lead when the green flag dropped.
McClure led the first six laps before Pat Rachels of Knoxville and Moravia's
Mike Robinson closed in for a three-car battle with Robinson taking the lead
while Rachels and McClure battled for the second spot. Rachels secured second
place and tried several times to put pressure on the leader, but Robinson
crossed the line a half-second ahead of Rachels. McClure hung on for third and
Mike Harward of Floris finished fourth.
In the Spilman Auto Parts
USRA Modified feature, current points leader Dennis Elliott led the field to the
green flag with Jim Redmann of Lockridge running second and Jerry Pilcher of
Bloomfield in third. Elliott led the first six laps before Michael Long of
Quincy, Ill., worked his way from the 10th starting spot and passed Elliot
coming off of turn 2. Long took the win for his first triumph at the Mountain
Dew Bloomfield Speedway and third overall this year. The battle for the second,
third and fourth spots heated up with only three laps remaining. Elliot and
Pilcher went wheel-to-wheel into turns 1-2 with Elliott making the pass while
Brandon Banks of Washington followed Elliott on the bottom side of the track to
secure the third spot. Pilcher was fourth.
Next week will feature the
Mid America 305 Winged Sprints along with the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series in action at the always-exciting Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway.

(Aug. 10) --
The second night of the 2nd Annual Budweiser USRA Stock Car Nationals presented
by Kabrick Distributing was held Thursday with qualifying races and preliminary
features for the USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Modifieds at the Pritchard Family
Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway in Britt, Iowa.
Jamie Anderson of Mason City
rebounded from his misfortune the previous night and captured the USRA
B-Modified main event to earn a spot in Friday's championship race. Matt Lettow
of Roland took second while Marshalltown's Ryan Gustin, who won Wednesday's
feature but was disqualified after the race, finished third. Nate Caruth of Ames
took fourth, defending USRA B-Mod track champion Jake Simpson of Algona finished
fifth and J.J. Wise of Manly grabbed the sixth position to earn the final
guaranteed transfer spot into Friday night's $1,000-to-win, $400-to-start
finale.
The USRA Stock Car feature was
action-packed from start to finish as the Midwest's hottest door-slammers
battled for the six transfer spots into Friday night's $5,000-to-win,
$1,000-to-start championship race.
Scott Bauer of Riceville came
out on top of a crowd-thriller that saw two drivers maneuver through the field
to make the cut for Friday's big dance. After first and second in the first of
two “B” mains, Bobby Greiner Jr. of Ottumwa and Mason City's Kevin Opheim put on
a clinic. Greiner, who started 19th, came through the field to finish second
while Opheim climbed from 21st to fourth at the finish line behind third-place
finisher Jake Ludeking of Decorah.
Fifth went to Lynn Panos of
Protivin and Brian Gjere of Mabel, Minn., captured the sixth and final transfer
spot into Friday's Budweiser USRA Stock Car Nationals main event.
Thursday's top six finishers
in both the USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Modifieds will fill the first six spots
of the outside rows of Friday's finales. The remaining spots will be earned
through last-chance races for both classes on Friday.
Qualifying on Wednesday for
the first six spots of the outside rows in the USRA B-Mods were Jimmy Broszeit,
Logan Brown, Doug Cook, Doug McCollough, Nathan Chodur and Jesse Hoeft.
Qualifying on Wednesday for the first six spots of the outside rows in the USRA

SCHMITT,
BROSZEIT TAKE OPENING NIGHT CHECKERS AT BUDWEISER USRA STOCK CAR NATIONALS
BRITT,
Iowa (Aug. 9) --
The 2nd Annual Budweiser USRA Stock Car Nationals presented by Kabrick
Distributing kicked off on Wednesday with qualifying races and preliminary
features for the USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Modifieds at the Pritchard Family
Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway in Britt, Iowa.
With close racing in every
contest, the race fans were treated to a night of pure action featuring the best
of the best in both classes
In the B-Mod main event,
Ryan Gustin of Marshalltown crossed the finish line first, but then rolled
across the scales and weighed-in 20 pounds underweight and was disqualified.
That handed the win over to Postville's Jimmy Broszeit, who earned every bit of
his fortune by racing from the 18th starting position in the 21-car field after
struggling in his heat race.
Logan Brown of Messervey was
uplifted from third to second in the final rundown, followed by Doug Cook of
Whittemore, Doug McCollough of Webster City and Nathan Chodur of Lake Mills, who
started 20th. Forest City's Jesse Hoeft benefited most from Gustin's DQ as he
moved up in the finishing order from seventh to sixth and earned the final
transfer spot into Friday night's $1,000-to-win, $400-to-start main event.
The USRA Stock Car feature
was a rich crowd-pleaser as Jon Snyder of Ames did something that not many
drivers have been able to accomplish this season: he passed track points leader
Tom Schmitt of Independence. Schmitt, who started on the pole, regained the lead
soon thereafter when Snyder jumped the cushion and made contact with Travis
Hoeft of Forest City. Both Snyder and Hoeft restarted at the tail of the field
while Schmitt held on to score the victory.
Racing throughout the field
was intense as three of the top five finishers came from deep in the field on
the starting grid. Waucoma's Tory Reicks, who held off Schmitt to win the USRA
Stock Car Shootout at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway
on June 30, came from the 17th starting spot to finish second and set up a
heated rematch in Friday's $5,000-to-win, $1,000-to-start main event.
Kevin Bidne of Decorah
finished third after starting 14th and Ryan Cook of West Point wound up fourth.
Polk City's Steve Jackson came from 18th to finish fifth while 20th-starting
Shawn Peter of Mabel, Minn., grabbed the sixth and final transfer spot into
Friday's Budweiser USRA Stock Car Nationals main event.
Wednesday's top six
finishers in both the USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Modifieds will fill the first
six spots of the inside rows of Friday's finales, with Thursday night's top six
making up the outside rows. The remaining spots will be earned through
last-chance races for both classes on Friday.

COOK,
DUNKER, WOOD CLAIM USRA CHECKERS ON WALKER MOTORS COLLISION & REPAIR AND SPILMAN
AUTO PARTS NIGHT
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS,
Mo. (Aug. 5) --
The battle for the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series national and
track points continued at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway on Walker Motors
Collision & Repair and Spilman Auto Parts Night. Taking home feature wins on the
night were Jason Cook (USRA Stock Cars), Tony Dunker (Advance Trading USRA
B-Modifieds), Nathan Wood (USRA Hobby Stocks), Adam Birck (Outlaw Hobbies) and
Gordon Blankenship Jr. (Hornets).
The first feature to take to
the speedway was the 15-lap USRA Hobby Stocks, with Mike Shelton and Mark Moore
drawing the front row for the event. Shelton grabbed the lead on lap 1 and then
held it until lap 6, when Nathan Wood, who started tenth, slipped by for the top
spot. Wood then pulled away from the field to lead the final nine laps to claim
his nine win of the season at the track. Bill Gibson would come home second, Bob
Lynch was third, Chase Mitrisin came from the rear after a early caution to
finish in fourth, with Cory Brown rounding out the top five. Wood and Lynch
picked up the heat race wins.
Up next was the 15-lap Outlaw
Hobby feature, with Justin Hamelton and Adam Birck leading the field to the drop
of the green flag. Birck would take advantage of his front row start to grab the
lead on lap 1. Birck then held the top spot until lap 10, when Rodger Dresden,
who started seventh, slipped by up top for the lead. Birck and Dresden would
cross the line on lap 11 dead even, with Birck once again grabbing the top spot
on lap 12. Birck then held off Beau Taylor and Dresden over the final 3 laps to
pick up his second win of 2006 at the track. Michael St. Clair came from tenth
to finish in fourth, with Brian Howerton coming from the rear after being
involved in a caution to finish in fifth. Heat race winners were St. Clair,
Howerton and Jim Lynch.
Jason Cook and Matt Greiner
led the field to the green flag in the 18-lap USRA Stock Car feature, with Cook
jumping into the lead on lap 1. Jason would go on to lead all 18 laps to claim
his third win of the season at the speedway. Greiner held off a closing Zack
VanderBeek, who started tenth, to finish in second, T.J. Criss came from the
rear after being involved in a yellow to finish in fourth, with Donovan Lodge
rounding out the top five. Cook, Greiner and VanderBeek each picked up a heat
race win.
Gordon Blankenship Jr. made it
three wins in three starts in the 8-lap Hornet feature, as he held off Travis
DeMint to claim the checkers. Brent Hartley came home in third, Andrew Hustead
was fourth, with Jim Hamilton coming home in fifth. Blankenship Jr. made it a
clean sweep as he claimed the heat race win.
Up next was the 15-lap Advance
Trading USRA B-Modified feature, with Tony Morton and Jeff Waterman leading the
field to the drop of the green flag. Waterman would take advantage of his front
row starting spot to lead lap 1, but his lead only lasted for one lap as
problems ended his night. Browning would inherit the lead on lap 2 and then went
on to hold the top spot until lap 5 when Toni Dunker slipped under him for the
lead. Dunker then went on to lead the final 10 laps to claim his fifth win of
the season at the speedway. Browning would finish in second, Joe Hooper came
from tenth to finish in third, Lance Stott was fourth, with Larry Newman coming
from ninth to round out the top five. Heat race winners were Dunker and
Waterman.
Coming up next week the
O’Reilly MLRA Late Models will invade the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway. Many
of the top Late Model drivers in the area will battle it out for $2,500 to win
the feature, plus the battle for the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series national and weekly points continues in the Bentz GM Country USRA
Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds and USRA Hobby
Stocks. Also in action will be the Outlaw Hobbies and Hornets battling it out
for track points. Gates next week will open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 6:30
and racing to follow.

By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD,
Iowa (Aug. 4) --
The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series added to the action of the
O’Reilly USMTS Modified show Friday at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway.
Jason Cook of Mt. Pleasant took the Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Car

feature and the Kollision Korner Hornets win went to John Brown of Huntsville,
Mo., who made his first ever appearance payoff.
In the Hougland's Repair Shop
USRA Stock Car feature, Cook and Mike Robinson led the field to the green for 18
laps of exciting wheel-to-wheel action with Cook taking the early race lead and
Robinson running a close second ahead of Pat Rachels, Zack VanderBeek and Scotty
Pratt all mixing it up for the lead. The final three laps was a thriller with
two- and three-wide racing. Pratt and Cook went door-to-door for the lead on the
final lap with Pratt passing Cook coming off of turn 2. Cook battled back in
turns 3-4 but Pratt took the top spot coming off the final corner for the win.
After post-race inspection, however, Pratt was and the win went to Cook.
The Kollision Korner Hornet

front tire ended his night. Brown took the lead and made his first appearance
payoff by taking the checkers. Dale Porter of Floris took second with Larry
Hopkins in third and John Garnet of Bloomfield finishing fourth after starting
ninth.
The Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby
Stock feature went 15 laps with Jones scoring back-to-back wins as he led the

By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA,
Iowa (Aug. 2) --
Racing action at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, was held to kick
off the month of August with the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series for the Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks trying to tame the Mahaska County
Half-Mile Monster.
In the first feature of the
night it was the USRA Stock Cars on the clay for 18 laps of action. Nathan Wood
of Keswick and T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa battled during the first eight laps for
the lead and exchanged it several times before Criss secured the lead on lap 9.
The defending track champion led the final nine laps for the win, holding off
several challenges from Bobby Greiner Jr., Pat Rachels and Colt Mather. When the
checkers flew, Criss was the one in victory lane, followed by Greiner, Mather
and Rachels, with Brad Pinkerton fifth.
The second feature of the
night was the USRA Hobby Stock division going 15 laps with Danny Thrasher and
Mike Shelton leading the field to the green flag with two- and three-wide racing
going into turns 1-2. USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series national

ST. CLAIR
SCORES BIGGEST WIN OF CAREER, BAGS $1,000 AT PEPSI SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS,
Mo. (July 29) --
Michael St. Clair picked up his first feature win in the Outlaw Hobby division
at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway on Bradley Insurance and Cook's Men Store
Fan Appreciation Night. The win was also St. Clair's biggest paycheck of his
racing career, as the Outlaw Hobby Stocks raced for the big prize of $1,000 to
win and $100 to start for bringing in the most cars on the night. Also taking
home checkers on the evening were Mark Burgtorf (Bentz GM Country USRA
Modifieds), Zack VanderBeek (USRA Stock Cars), Jack Evans Jr. (Advance Trading
USRA B-Modifieds), Nathan Wood (USRA Hobby Stocks) and Brent Hartley (Hornets).
The eight-lap Hornet feature
was the first to take to the speedway, with Ethan Hustead and J.D. Murphy making
up the front row for the event. But it was sixth place starter Brent Hartley
charging up to grab the lead on lap 1. Hartley would hold off a last lap charge
from Andrew Hustead, who started fifth, to pick up his sixth win of the season
at the speedway. Murphy held on for third, Brian Lemen was fourth, with Ethan
Hustead holding on for fifth. Hartley made a clean sweep of the night by
claiming the checkers in the heat race.
Up next was the 18-lap USRA
Stock Car feature, with Mark Holt and Troy Alexander drawing the front row.
Alexander took advantage of his front row starting spot to jump out into the
lead on lap 1, with Holt, Jason Cook, Zack VanderBeek and Matt Greiner battling
it out for second. Alexander would hold on to the top spot until lap 5, when
VanderBeek slipped under him for the lead. VanderBeek then pulled away from the
field over the final 13 laps to claim his third win of the season at the track.
Greiner won the battle for second, Cook was third, Alexander held on for fourth,
with Eric Flander coming from 13th to round out the top 5. Heat race winners
were VanderBeek and Holt.
Dave Hudson and Jason
VanZomeren led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 15-lap USRA Hobby
Stock feature, but it was fourth place starter Mark Moore edging out VanZomeren
to lead lap 1. Moore held off VanZomeren until lap 3, when he slipped by to grab
the top spot. VanZomeren looked to be heading for his first feature win of the
season at the Speedway until disaster struck on lap 12 when he spun in turn 2.
Nathan Wood, who started 10th, inherited the lead and then held on for the final
three laps to pick up his eighth win of the year at the track. Bob Lynch was
second, Bill Gibson came from ninth to finish in third, Jim Walker came from
eighth to finish in fourth, with Mike Shelton coming from 13th after lap 1 to
round out the top 5. Wood and VanZomeren each picked up a heat race win.
The 15-lap Advance Trading
USRA B-Modified feature was up next, with Jerry Poor and Larry Newman making up
the front row for the event. Poor would take advantage of his front row start to
grab the lead on lap 1. Poor would only lead for one lap, as Tony Dunker slipped
under him to grab the top spot on lap 2. Dunker then had the lead until a
restart on lap 9, when Jack Evans Jr., who started seventh, jumped to his
outside to take over the top spot. Evans would hold on over the final six laps
to pick up his third win of 2006 at Memphis. Dunker came home in second, Jim
Gillenwater came from tenth to finish in third, Jeff Waterman was fourth, with
Rob Carter coming home in fifth. Heat race winners were Evans and Dunker.
Zack VanderBeek and Bob Dale
led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 18-lap Bentz GM Country USRA
Modified feature, with VanderBeek moving out front on lap 1. VanderBeek would
only lead for one lap, as Mark Burgtorf, who started eighth, jumped to his
outside to lead lap 2 by inches. Burgtorf led the final 16 laps to claim his
third win of the season at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway. VanderBeek held
on for second, Martin Bennett was third, Ryan Meyer was fourth, with Michael
Long coming from 13th to round out the top 5. Burgtorf and Mike Bennett each
picked up a heat race win.
The final feature of the
evening was the 18-lap Outlaw Hobby event, with the winner taking home a top
prize of $1,000 by virtue of the class having the most entries for the evening's
events. Brian Clark and Jim Lynch drew the front row for the feature, with Clark
grabbing the lead on the drop of the green flag. Clark then held on to the top
spot until lap 9, when Adam Birck slipped under him for the lead. Birck looked
to be heading for the big prize until disaster struck him on lap 12, when he
slowed for a right rear flat. On the restart, Michael St. Clair jumped out into
the lead, with Clark and Jeff Soper battling it out for second. St. Clair pulled
away over the final six laps to claim his first career Outlaw Hobby Stock
feature win and the biggest paycheck of his racing career. Soper edged out Clark
at the line for second, Beau Taylor came from 10th to finish in fourth, with
Rodger Dresden coming from 11th to round out the top 5. Heat race winners were
Soper, Birck and Taylor.

JONES TAKES
$1,000 USRA HOBBY STOCK WIN AT MOUNTAIN DEW BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD,
Iowa (July 28) --
On the final Friday night in July, fans at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway
were treated to Fan Appreciation Night presented by Taylor Automotive and
Missouri Grain. The class with the most cars got to race for $1,000 to win and
$100 to start, with the action sponsored by Corporate Auto of Ottumwa and Sonic
Drive In of Ottumwa and Centerville. The Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stock division
was the featured class and ran for the big money after bringing 25 cars to the
Davis County Fairgrounds in Bloomfield, Iowa.
The first feature was the
Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Cars thrilling the crowd with three- and
four-wide racing between four drivers battling for the top spot. The 18-lap
feature came down to the final lap with Colt Mather and Ryan Cook battling for
the win after Matt Greiner, who was a contender until a cut right front tire
with two laps remaining ended his run at the win. Pat Rachels was another driver
in the hunt for the win but slipped back to finished fourth, while Mather and
Cook raced wheel-to-wheel and door-to-door with only six inches deciding the
outcome when the checkers flew. Mather took the win with Cook in a close second,
followed by brother Jason Cook taking third. This class always seems to thrill
the fans each and every week with some of the closest finishes in 2006.
In the Kollision Korner Hornet
division, 15-year-old Sarah Woodhurst of Perry, Mo., showed the guys who to get
it done, topping the field after leading all eight laps for her first win at the
Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway in just her second appearance. Tom Irwin took
the second spot with Dale Porter working his way from eighth to take third and
David Probasco grabbing fourth.
The third feature of the night
was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds taking the green for 18 laps of
exciting action with seven different lead changes between Dennis Elliott, Tony
Fraise and Mark Burgtorf. Fraise and Burgtorf swapped the lead several times
before Fraise's machine broke a rear J-bar bracket, almost sending Fraise upside
down, but the veteran racer settled the car down and retired to the pits off
turn 4 and ended his run. That turned the lead over to Burgtorf, who would paced
the final seven laps for the win. Zack VanderBeek tried to close the gap but
settled for second with Elliott taking third and Jared Durbin finishing fourth.
Coming into the night, Elliott and Durbin were only separated by only five
points. The two finished in the third and fourth positions to keep a close
battle for the track title heating up with only three regular points nights
remaining.
The final feature of the
evening was the $1,000-to-win Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stock main event going 18
laps with Ben Jones leading every lap for his biggest payday ever. The battle
for the second spot was between Robby Sands and Nathan Wood, with Wood taking
the second spot and $700 after coming from the 10th starting position. Sands
scored his best finish and payday of $500 for third and Dustin Griffiths, who
took fourth after having a flat tire on the sixth lap and raced his way from the
back of the 24-car field, finished and pocketed $400 for his efforts.
Next week (Friday, Aug. 4)
will be regular track points and national points for the USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series featuring the Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stocks and
Hougland's Repair shop USRA Stock Cars joining the second appearance of the
season by the O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS)
in action at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway. Drivers from Kansas,
Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and South
Dakota are expected.
Hot laps start at 7 p.m. and
the mud flies soon thereafter.
The Mountain Dew Bloomfield
Speedway is located one mile west of Bloomfield on US 63/SR 2, then one mile
north on CR J40 (at the Davis County Fairgrounds). Visit the Mountain Dew

HADACEK
POCKETS $1,000 WITH USRA HOBBY STOCK VICTORY AT PRITCHARD FAMILY AUTO STORES
HANCOCK COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT, Iowa
(July 28) --
There’s nothing better than great entertainment at a low cost. Friday night at
the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway that’s exactly what Fan
Appreciation Night presented by Sidetrack Lanes offered with action for the USRA
Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series.
The night got underway with
the USRA Modified feature. There was a new man in town for the event as Ryan
York of Racine, Minn., made the trip in his red #1r. After starting on the pole,
York was hard to catch. He met up with a short battle with Brad Bakken, but York
had too much for the track points leader. York took the checkered flag as Bakken
crossed the finish line second, followed by Ed Green.
Both the Junior and Senior
Hornets raced together. After Colby Fett spun between turns 3-4 and had to leave
the race track, there were three Senior Hornets left to do battle. Brandon
Ostwald of Algona continued his domination and crossed the finish line first.
Nineteen out of the 20
registered USRA B-Modifieds made their way onto the track after the Hobby Stock
B-feature. The “Fast Five” of Jake Simpson jumped out to a quick lead. The
defending track champion seemed to create a comfortable lead until the #21L of
Matt Lettow gave him a challenge. The two drivers raced side-by-side until
Lettow was able to get an edge over Simpson. After a spin by the #3f of Jeramie
Faber, Lettow got a good jump on the field of cars on the restart and was able
to take the victory.
As usual, the USRA Stock Cars
were roaring and ready to go at the Britt speedplant. The 17-car feature began
with a bang as Tom Schmitt took advantage of his front row starting position.
The #18 led the group of racers through two cautions. On the restart, the #42 of
Jeff Nielsen and the #27t of Tory Reicks gave Schmitt all he could handle. With
some good handling in the corners and a nice groove to follow, the driver from
Independence found himself in victory lane. This was Schmitt’s fourth win this
season at Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway.
The nightcap consisted of the
$1,000-to-win USRA Hobby Stock feature. Twenty-seven cars made the trip to
qualify for the 24-car feature. After four heat races and a B-feature, the field
was set. Chad Lundy paced the field from the start. Meanwhile, the #5 of Randy
Hadacek was moving through the traffic thanks to some nifty driving and five
cautions. After the #2h of Dan Haugland gave Lundy a short battle, Hadacek was
up to second. The #11L of Lundy gave it all he had, but the luck of Hadacek
continued. Hadacek has been a familiar face in victory lane as this was his
third feature win in just eight days.
“I expected good competition
tonight,” commented Hadacek, who got just that. “This is the best I have ever
done.”

SPIEKER,
GREINER, MITRISIN FIRST-TIME WINNERS AT OSKY
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 26) --
After more than four and one-half inches of rain fell on Tuesday night in
Oskaloosa, Iowa, it didn't look good for the Wild, Wild Wednesday night
program at the Southern Iowa Speedway but hard work by the track crew and some
help from the sunshine let the program go on as scheduled for Kids Night
presented by KBOE. Young race fans were treated to rides with their favorite
drivers, along with getting some money and lots of candy.
The main events kicked off
with the USRA Stock Car feature going 18 laps. Colt Mather and Brad Pinkerton
battled for the lead during the first five laps before T.J. Criss, Pat Rachels,
Bobby Greiner Jr. and Matt Greiner all joined in for the battle for the first
five spots, with Mather leading the way. Rachels tried several times to take
the lead from Mather before the caution flag flew with only two laps
remaining, setting up a green-white-checkered showdown with Mather leading the
way. On the restart, Matt Greiner powered past Mather, whose car didn't
restart very well and dropped him back to second. Mather tried to find a way
to get back to the front, but Greiner's machine was too strong as he garnered
his career-first win at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster. Mather took
second with Criss third and Rachels in fourth.
The second feature was the
Musco Lighting USRA Modifieds going 18 laps with defending track champion
Steve Stewart of Washington leading the first eight laps before the red flag
flew for Brad Pinkerton and Steven Blattler crashing into each other and
stopping the action on the track. On the restart, Chris Spieker of Massena
snagged the lead and led the final 10 laps for his first win on his first
visit in 2006. This was the just the second night on a new car and Spieker
made it a good one. Terry Walker of Riverside took second with Oskaloosa local
driver Ron Ver Beek finishing third ahead of Stewart.
In the third and final
feature of the evening, the USRA Hobby Stocks provided a thriller with Bill
Gibson of Knoxville, Chase Mitrisin of Oskaloosa and Agency's Danny Thrasher
battling for the lead and swapping the top spot several different times before
Mitrisin was able to power away and score his first win in front of a hearty
Southern Iowa Fair crowd at his home track. USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series national points leader Nathan Wood of Sigourney passed Gibson on
the final lap for second, with Thrasher fourth after leading the first three
laps.
Next Wednesday, Aug. 2, will
be the 3rd Annual O’Reilly Auto Parts Southern Iowa Challenge featuring the
rugged road warriors of the O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring
Series (USMTS), plus USRA Stock Cars and USRA Hobby Stocks battling for
national and track points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series. Admission is $15 for adults, with juniors (ages 12 to 18) and seniors
(62 and older) getting in for $12. Children under 12 are admitted FREE of
charge. Gates swing open at 5 p.m. and the green flag flies at 7:30.
The Southern Iowa Speedway
is located 0.5 mile west of US 63 on SR 92, then 0.3 mile north on N. I St.
(at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds). For more information call the track

CLAIMS 12TH ANNUAL HARRIS AUTO RACING NIGHT OF 1000 STARS
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT, Iowa
(July 25) --
It was a night to remember at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County
Speedway Tuesday night. Not only did the Modifieds show up on this special
Harris Auto Racing Night of 1000 Stars, but the three other classes of racing
were all fighting for the spotlight too.
With $500 up for grabs, the
USRA Hobby Stock 23-car feature made sure the fans had something to see. Trent
Murphy of Jefferson made the trip in his #25x to battle for the winnings.
Jefferson jumped out into the lead. Luke Wanninger, also from Jefferson, gave
him a good battle for the lead. In the meantime, Randy Hadacek was looking to
move up to the front and continue his winning ways as he battled Chris Monson
for the third spot.
The first half of the race was
somewhat calm. After a collision in turn 1, Hadacek was able to overtake Monson
and Wanninger for the second spot. The hometown racer was up to battle Murphy.
With just two laps to go, Murphy fell off the pace and Hadacek was able to take
the checkered. Coincidentally, this was Hadacek’s second victory in four days at
the Britt speedplant.
After a six-car B Main for the
Modifieds, the USRA Stock Cars were next on stage. A $700 prize made the
drivers’ eyes a bit larger than they should have been on Friday night. Going
three- and four-wide into the corners caused some good battles and some
collisions all in the same. Starting on the pole, the #42 of Jeff Nielsen jumped
out to a quick lead. A collision in turns 3-4 gave the #44k of Kevin Opheim and
the #21 of Travis Hoeft a chance to take over the battle for the lead spot. The
two drivers pulled away from the field of 13 cars to what seemed to be a for
sure first and second place finish. A bobble in turn 1 by Opheim gave Hoeft the
lead until he did his own in turn 3.
Opheim was sure to have the
victory in wraps until some debris on the track caused the yellow flag to fly.
The drivers in the front were anxious to get their hands on the trophy. On the
second failed restart, Opheim had to leave the track because of a flat tire. In
the meantime, the #17c of Cory Oftedahl had car problems, taking him out of the
race. It was determined that Hoeft was to blame for the bad starts. He was sent
to the back and then pit side. With three of the top four cars out, Chad Palmer
and Nielsen battled side-by-side for the final laps. At the all-telling yellow
pole, Palmer was able to edge Nielsen for the victory. One noteworthy
performance was by the #7III of Ryan Hiscocks. After starting dead last, he was
able to keep his nose clean and finish in the third spot, after passing the #99n
of Rodney Necker at the finish line.
As if it couldn’t get any more
exciting, the USRA B-Modifieds were ready to strut their stuff. J.J. Wise got
the racing started from the front row. Wise was beginning to pull away when the
yellow flag flew. It took three cautions for the #0 of Jamie Anderson to get a
good start and pass the #68 of Wise. Another caution brought the two drivers
back together for a side-by-side battle. It wasn’t until Wise suffered a flat
tire that Anderson pulled back into the lead. The #25 of Doug Cook was up to
challenge Anderson. For four laps the drivers battled. Anderson bobbled giving
Cook a short lead. Unfortunately, Cook came across some bad luck which allowed
the driver from Mason City to take the top spot back. With just two laps to go,
the #1m of Doug McCollough made his way to the front. In a battle that got the
fans up once again, the McCollough was able to pass Anderson in the final turn.
McCollough endured a last-place start and a collision with two other cars en
route to the checkered flag.
In what was to be the main
show of the night, 27 Modifieds made their way onto the track. A 30-lap race for
$2,000 and more than $1,500 in lap money was sure to provide some excitement.
The drivers were a bit anxious as Toby Boothroyd signaled a bad start and
aligned the cars for a restart. The #12 of Mark Elliott took advantage of his
second starting position to pull away from the pack on the restart. Behind him,
fans witnessed several laps of racers taking the corners three- and four-wide.
Kelly Shryock was on the move from his eighth starting spot. In just two laps,
he made it up to the second spot.
After three cautions, Elliott
was holding a lead over Shryock and three-time Harris Auto Racing Night of 1000
Stars champion Al Hejna. Shryock made his way up to battle with Elliott. The #75
red ride of Shryock (normally driven by Denny Rosenburg) was about to take the
lead as the yellow flag was thrown for a turned car in the corner. In the
meantime, Shryock left the track because of a broken gasket. This left Elliott
and Hejna to do battle for the lead. After another caution, Hejna got a good
jump on Elliott and was able to jump ahead. A back-and-forth battle proved to be
a bit too much for Hejna as Elliott took his position back. It was a battle of a
Harris vs. Skyrocket Chassis. In this case, Elliot drove his Harris past the
yellow pole first for the $2,000 prize.
If you missed the great event
on Tuesday night, be sure to attend Fan Appreciation Night this coming Friday,
July 28. The cost is just $5 for everybody 12 and older. Kids under 12 get in
for FREE. In addition, the winner of the class of cars with the most entries
will capture a $1,000 prize.

LONG, COOK
CLAIM EXCITING FIRST WINS OF SEASON AT PEPSI SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS,
Mo. (July 22) --
Gas & More Night at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway provided the fans with
some great two and even three wide racing in all six feature events. Michael
Long (Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds) and Ryan Cook (USRA Stock Cars) picked up
there first wins of the season at the speedway in exciting fashion. While Jim
Gillenwater (Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds), Nathan Wood (USRA Hobby Stocks),
Beau Taylor (Outlaw Hobbies) and Gordon Blankenship Jr. (Hornets) each claimed
repeat wins with the same exciting finishes.
The 18-lap USRA Stock Car
feature took to the speedway first, with Matt Greiner and Jeremy Hamlin drawing
the front row for the event. Greiner would jump out into the lead on lap 1, with
Jason Cook following close behind in second. Greiner looked to be in control of
the event until a caution flag came out at the half way mark of the feature. On
the restart, Greiner once again grabbed the top spot, but now had Ryan Cook,
Colt Mather and Jason Cook battling him for the lead. On lap 10, Ryan took the
top line around the speedway, with Greiner in the middle and Mather down low to
make it a three wide battle for the lead. Ryan came out of turn four to grab the
top spot, with Mather taking second and Greiner slipping back to third. Ryan
would hold off all challenges from Mather over the final nine laps to claim his
first win of 2006 at Memphis. Jason Cook battled passed Greiner on the final
laps to come home third. Greiner held on for fourth, with Michael Browning
rounding out the top five. Ryan Cook and Greiner each picked up a heat race win.
Up next was one of the best
Outlaw Hobby features of the season, as there were nine lead changes in the
15-lap event. Brian Clark and Beau Taylor took the field to the drop of the
green flag, with Clark grabbing the lead on lap 1. Clark, who was running the
bottom of the speedway, and Taylor, who was up top, ran all 15 laps of the
feature side-by-side, with each driver taking turns in the lead from laps 5
through lap 14. The two drivers went into turn 3 on the final lap side-by-side,
just like the previous 14 laps, and the two came off of turn 4 the same way.
Taylor edged out Clark at the line for the best Outlaw Hobby finish of the
season. Rodger Dresden finished in third and Brian Howerton was fourth, with
Michael St. Clair coming home in fifth. Jeff Soper and Taylor each claimed wins
in the heat races.
Ryan Yahnke and Chuck
Fullenkamp led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 8-lap Hornet
feature, with Fullenkamp holding off Gordon Blankenship Jr. at the line to lead
lap 1. Fullenkamp and Blankenship raced the next two laps side-by-side, with
Blankenship finally getting the advantage on lap 3. Blankenship held off
Fullenkamp and Brent Hartley over the final five laps to pick up his second win
in a row at the speedway. Andrew Hustead was fourth, with Yahnke holding on for
fifth. Blankenship made it a clean sweep by picking up the heat win.
The 15-lap USRA Hobby Stock
feature was next, with Nathan Wood and Tim Kraber drawing the front row. Wood
would take advantage of his front row start to grab the lead on lap 1, with
Kraber following close behind in second. Wood continued to hold down the top
spot, as Bill Gibson, who started tenth, and Mike Shelton, who started
thirteenth, were working there way towards the front. Gibson and Shelton would
challenge Wood over the final laps of the feature, but Wood would hold on to
claim his seventh win of the season at the track. Shelton slipped pass Gibson to
take second, leaving Gibson to finish in third, Mark Moore came from ninth to
finish in fourth, with Jason VanZomeren coming home in fifth. Heat race winners
were Gibson and Wood.
Tony Morton and Joe Hooper led
the field to the drop of the green flag in the 15-lap Advance Trading USRA
B-Modified feature, with Hooper jumping out front on lap 1. Hooper would hold
the top spot until lap 4, when Jack Evans Jr. slipped under him to take over the
lead. Evans Jr. looked to be heading for another win, until a caution came out
on lap 10, bringing the field back to his back bumper. On the restart, Tony
Dunker, who started ninth, and Jim Gillenwater, who started seventh, made it a
three wide battle for the lead coming out of turn four. Gillenwater would come
out of turn four on the bottom to grab the lead away from Evans Jr., while Evans
Jr. battled to keep Dunker back in third. Gillenwater then held on for the final
four laps to pick up his second win of the season at the speedway. Evans Jr.
held on for second, Dunker was third, Jerry Poor was fourth, with Brandon Savage
coming back from a early spin to round out the top five. Hooper, Evans Jr. and
Ron York each picked up a heat race win.
The final feature of the night
was the 20-lap Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds, and just like the other five
features it would finish in exciting fashion. Ryan Meyer and Jody Wood would
draw the front row for the event, with Meyer grabbing the lead on the start.
Meyer had build up a big lead over the field, when a caution came out on lap 12,
bringing the rest of the field to his back bumper. Meyer would jump out into the
lead on the restart, with Mike Bennett, Tony Fraise, Martin Bennett and Michael
Long all battling for the second spot. Long had worked the top side of the
speedway to his advantage, as he slipped passed both Bennett's and Fraise on lap
15 and set his sights on Meyer. Meyer, who was working the bottom side of the
speedway, and Long, who was up top, came across the line on lap 17 side-by-side.
The two drivers would battle side-by-side over the final three laps, bringing
the crowd to there feet for the wave of the checkers. Meyer and Long came off of
turn four side-by-side, with Long edging out Meyer at the line for his first win
at the speedway. Martin Bennett held off Fraise in a battle for third, with Mike
Bennett coming home a close fifth. Heat race winners were Long and Meyer.

HIGH LINE
CARRIES SHRYOCK TO HUSET'S VICTORY, WESTERN REGION TITLE
BRANDON,
S.D. (July 20) --
The debut of the O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series at
the historic Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D., Thursday night saw a large field
featuring the toughest Modified teams in the country. The perfectly-prepared
racetrack provided some great two- and three-wide racing throughout the evening
for the hearty fans in attendance.
Clear Lake, Iowa's Dean
Mahlstedt started fourth, but “The Bullet” maneuvered his machine around front
row starters Roger Nielsen and Tommy Myer to lead the first lap of the 40-lap
Holley “A” Main.
While Mahlstedt worked the low
side of the high-banked oval to pace the first seven laps, seven-time defending
O’Reilly USMTS national champion Kelly Shryock of Fertile, Iowa, was chewing
away at the cushion on the high side of the track. Shryock reeled in Mahlstedt,
then captured the lead on lap 8. Despite three cautions and a slew of
maneuvering behind him, Shryock was able to maintain the top spot to the finish
to collect his 21st win of the season and pocket the $2,000 top prize.
Jon Tesch of Watertown, S.D.,
also used the high line to his advantage as he powered from the 16th starting
spot to take second at the finish line. Passing 14 cars earned Tesch the Olympic
Fire Protection Hard Charger honors.
Mahlstedt hung on to take home
third-place money, with Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, Iowa, fourth and Blooming
Prairie, Minn.'s Myer rounding out the top five finishers.
Following Shryock's sixth
straight victory, two sponsors emerged to offer an incentive to any driver that
can stop the Skyrocket steamroller. Borco Motorsports has offered $100 for the
remaining races of the season to any driver that can win and beat Shryock.
Yeager Machine will award $250 to any nationally-licensed O’Reilly USMTS driver
(there are 88 of them) that can pick up their first main event win of 2006
(there are 80 drivers eligible).
The first-ever race at Huset's
Speedway also signaled the completion of the events in the Western Region.
Shryock added an additional $2,000 to his season-long earnings by capturing the
Western Region title, and joined 10 other drivers as the first competitors to
qualify into ‘The Hunt’ for the O’Reilly National Championship.
‘The Hunt’ will be comprised
of the final 20 races of the season. The O’Reilly USMTS points system will be
used at all regional events, with the top-10 in the final standings for each of
the four regions earning 10 points for first place, 9 points for second and so
forth, descending to 1 point for tenth place in the region. Each driver who
competed at all events within a region will also earn 5 bonus points. The total
points earned for all regions will serve as the base points that each driver
will start with in ‘The Hunt’ for the O’Reilly National Championship. The normal
O’Reilly USMTS points system is then used during ‘The Hunt’ to determine the
2006 O’Reilly USMTS National Champion. Any driver finishing among the top-10 in
the final points standings in one or more regions, as well as any driver with
perfect attendance in any region, will qualify to be in ‘The Hunt’ and thereby
earn a legitimate shot at becoming the 2006 O’Reilly USMTS National Champion.
The drivers that have
qualified for ‘The Hunt’ are: Kelly Shryock (15 pts.), John Tesch (14), Tommy
Myer (13), Ryan Ruter (12), Brad McEwan (10), Al Hejna (9), Zack VanderBeek (8),
Mark Noble (6), Jay Poidinger (6), Mike Lineberry (5) and Dean Mahlstedt (2).
Four straight nights of
O’Reilly USMTS action wraps up tomorrow (Friday, July 21) with the 5th Annual
Gopher Summer Challenge at the Murray County Speedway in Slayton, Minn., and the
final points race in the Reich Concrete/Yeager Machine Northeast Region. Due to
the cancellation of the July 28-29 event at the Batesville (Ark.) Speedway, the
rugged road warriors are off duty until Tuesday, Aug. 1, for the 2nd Annual
Hawkeye Classic at the Benton County Speedway in Vinton, Iowa.

BLATTLER,
MITRISIN, WOOD, CLAYTON SHARE OSKALOOSA WINNERS CIRCLE
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 19) --
Another Wild, Wild Wednesday night of racing action at the Southern Iowa
Speedway was sponsored by Eric Palmer of Oskaloosa, who is running for State
Representative in Iowa.
"As a lifelong Iowan, I have
a deep love for our state -- our great schools, our beautiful countryside, and
the shared values our friendly communities represent. It’s a place my wife
Laurie and I are proud to call home," said Palmer. "I’m running for the Iowa
House to make sure my children, and all of our children, are just as proud to
call Iowa home. If elected, I will work to provide fiscal accountability in
government while striving to increase access to affordable health care,
quality jobs, and providing the best education programs our state can afford.
"In the upcoming months I
hope to be able to visit with people throughout the district and let them know
a little bit more about me and the ways I would like to serve them as the
State Representative from House District 75."
Four classes were in action
Wednesday, with the Nostalgic Stock Car Club of Iowa on hand featuring cars
from the '60s and '70s, including a '57 Chevy. This was the first time at
Oskaloosa for this group and it brought back fond memories for several race
fans, and was a very good experience for the young and old on this night with
the young drivers getting to see history and older race fans remembering the
past.
In the first feature event
it was the USRA Stock Cars in action for 18 laps and Brian Mitrisin of
Oskaloosa leading wire to wire for his second win of the 2006 season. The
battle for second was a thriller with three drivers all battling for the
second spot with Knoxville's Pat Rachels taking second from Colt Mather of
Webster on the white flag lap. Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon took fourth.
The second feature was the
Nostalgic Stock Car Club in action with Jim Clayton taking the checkers in a
1966 Mercury Comet, leading all 12 laps after a good battle between Brad Huff
and Jamie Huff battling for second. Brad Huff finished second in a 1964
Chevelle with Jamie Huff third in a 1970 Chevy Nova. Rob Koopman finished
fourth in the Curt Hansen look alike car -- a 1968 Chevelle.
In the third feature it was
the 15-lap Musco Lighting USRA Modified feature with Oskaloosa's Steven
Blattler taking his first win at the Southern Iowa Speedway and second of
2006. Blattler held off the always-tough Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon, who
took second ahead of two Washington drivers battling for third. Brandon Banks
took the third spot after working his way from 13th and passing Steve Stewart
with five laps remaining. Stewart took the fourth position.
The final feature was the
USRA Hobby Stocks in action for 15 laps and Bobby Greene of Eddyville snagging
the early race lead. Green led until lap 3 before USRA Casey's General Stores
Weekly Racing Series national points leader Nathan Wood of Sigourney took the
lead and never looked back leading the final 12 laps for the win. Greene tried
several times to put pressure on Wood but settled for second, followed by last
week's winner, Mike Shelton, who took third after starting 10th. Fourth went
to Chase Mitrisin of Oskaloosa.
Next week is the annual
Southern Iowa Fair with a doubleheader of racing action on tap.
After a four-year hiatus,
the long-awaited return of the mud-slinging Super Late Models comes to the
Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster on Tuesday, July 25, for a $2,000-to-win
battle on the Osky clay! Also in action will be USRA Stock Cars and Hobby
Stocks racing for national points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series. Tickets are just $12, with juniors (13-18) and seniors (62+)
getting in for $8. As always, children 12 and under are admitted FREE. Gates
open at 5 p.m. and the green flag flies at 7:30. There are no reserved seats
for this race, so get there early!

DAVIS
COUNTY FAIR CHECKERS TO LYNCH, COOK, WOOD, PROBASCO
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD,
Iowa (July 14) --
With around two inches of rain coming, it looked like the Friday night program
at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway would be canceled, but the sunshine
helped dry things out and the racing action was held during the Davis County
Fair on Davis County Savings Bank of Bloomfield Night. The young race fans go to
take part in the annual nickel scramble put on by the bank, and each young race
fan from newborns to 12 years of age got some money.
All four feature winners had
previously made it to victory lane in 2006, but the fair checkers is always
something nice to add to the trophy case.
In the first feature, the
Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds took the green flag with hometown driver Jim
Lynch working the high side of the track. Lynch took the lead with his shiny new
black body and scored the win over current points leader Dennis Elliott of Mt.
Ayr, who took second after coming from sixth. The third spot went to Jared
Durbin of Fort Madison, who battled with Lynch early but fell back to third.
Jerry Pilcher of Bloomfield took the fourth spot.
The Kollision Korner Hornet
feature had 13 drivers take the green for 10 laps with David Probasco coming to
victory lane. Dale Porter of Floris battled his way from eighth to second at the
finish with Tom Irwin of Bloomfield taking the third spot after battling with
Charlie Montgomery of Delta, who made his first appearance in the Hornet
division.
In the third feature, the
always-thrilling Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Car feature rolled onto the
Speedway for the 18-lap, 21-car main event with Pat Rachels of Knoxville and Jim
Lynch of Bloomfield leading the field to the green. Lynch took the early race
lead and looked to be headed to victory lane and trying to make it the third car
in a row to win with the #77 on the door. Shane Weller of Agency worked his way
from seventh to battle for the lead, and the two drivers went wheel-to-wheel for
the top position. Mike Robinson and Ryan Cook joined into the battle, making it
three- and four-wide several times. Weller powered his machine away from the
others and built a four-car-length lead. The battle for the second spot heated
up with Phil McClure, Rachels, Robinson and Ryan Cook all going door-to-door and
wheel-to-wheel for the runner-up spot. Lynch's machine retired with a flat tire
after making contact with the outside front stretch wall. The three- and
four-wide racing also included Colt Mather, making it four cars all wanting the
second spot. Weller cruised to victory lane for his first win at the Mountain
Dew Bloomfield Speedway. The tightly-contested battle for second went to Rachels,
with McClure taking third with a last-lap pass on Cook. Robinson and Mather
finished fifth and sixth, respectively in one of the most thrilling features of
the 2006 season.
The final feature of the night
was the Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stock feature going 15 laps with Bob Lynch of
Ottumwa driving the Jeff Finley-owned machine setting on the pole position with
Dustin Griffiths of Ottumwa on the outside. The two drivers brought the field to
the green with the two battling for the top spot. Griffiths, who made the
23-hour trip back from Florida so he could race at the Davis County Fair,
swapped the lead several times with Lynch before Nathan Wood of Sigourney joined
the two for a three-way battle for the top spot. Ben Jones of Williamsburg made
a charge from the 10th starting spot after scoring the win in last week's
feature while Wood built a seven-car-length lead over the field while Griffiths,
Jones and Jimmy Hayes of Moravia all battled for the second, third and fourth
spots. Lynch drifted back to fifth with Griffiths hanging on to the second spot.
Jones took third and Hayes was fourth in his first appearance of 2006. This win
was Wood's 16th feature win in the USRA Hobby Stock division.
After the feature, Lance Meyer
claimed the carburetor of Jones, which Jones agreed to sell.
Action next Friday, July 21,
will feature the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series along with the
Mid America 305 Winged Sprints in action for a $500 top prize. Gates open at 5
p.m. with racing slated for 7:30.
Don't forget that Fan
Appreciation Night will be Friday, July 28, with all fans ages six and older
admitted for just $5. As an added bonus for the drivers, the class which brings
the most cars will be racing for $1,000 to win and $100 to start the main event.

of Lynch and VanZomeren, to grab the lead. Gibson then held off Mike
Shelton, who started eighth, over the final nine laps to claim his second
win of the season at the speedway. Nathan Wood came from seventh to finish
in third, VanZomeren held on for fourth, with Tim Kraber coming from tenth
to round out the top five. Wood and Derek Kirkland each claimed wins in the
heat races.
The final feature of the
night was the 15-lap USRA Stock Car, with Chris Wibbell and Eric Flander
drawing the front row for the event. Flander would take advantage of his
front row start to grab the lead on lap 1. Flander would hold the top spot
until a restart on lap 8, when Troy Alexander would slip under him for the
lead. Alexander then held off Matt Greiner, who started eighth, to pick up
his first win of 2006 at the track. Jason Cook came home in third, Ryan Cook
was fourth, with Wibbell holding on to finish in fifth. Heat race winners
were R. Cook and Greiner.

SHELTON,
WALKER, MATHER SCORE AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 12) --
Racing action was held at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, for
Wild, Wild Wednesday sponsored by the Oskaloosa Chamber of Commerce featuring
the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series with three classes in
action.
The USRA Hobby Stocks saw a
new face in victory lane for 2006 at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster.
Mike Shelton of Ottumwa took the lead from his front row starting spot and
paced the field all 15 laps, holding off national points leader Nathan Wood of
Sigourney. Wood worked his way from eighth to second but couldn't get close
enough to contend for the top spot and settled for the runner-up finish. Chase
Mitrisin of Oskaloosa took the third spot, with a battle between Rick
Landgrebe of Sigourney and Wade Francis of Oskaloosa going wheel-to-wheel at
the finish. Landgrebe snagged fourth and Francis was fifth.
In the Musco Lighting USRA
Modified feature, Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon used his pole position to take
the lead and pace the field the first six laps before Riverside driver Terry
Walker powered his #12 machine past Pinkerton coming off of turn 2. Walker
then held off Pinkerton for the win. Pinkerton settled for a close second with
Steven Blattler of Oskaloosa taking third and Brad Stephens of Bussey in
fourth. This was Walker's second win of the 2006 season at the Southern Iowa
Speedway and was a good spirit lifter after having trouble the last couple of
weeks at his home track in West Liberty and the Southern Iowa Speedway.
The third and final feature
was the USRA Stock Car main event going 18 laps with Nathan Wood of Sigourney
and Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa leading the field to the green flag. Wood
grabbed the lead off of turn 2 but Mitrisin captured the lead exiting turn 4.
Mitrisin led the first eight laps with Matt Greiner putting some pressure on
the #4B machine with the two going door-to-door and wheel-to-wheel for the
next seven laps with Greiner making the pass on lap 15 and would extending his
lead over Mitrisin to four car-lengths. The caution flag waved for the
defending track champion T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa, who stopped in turn 2 with a
flat tire. This closed the field up with only three laps remaining. Greiner
led the field to the green on the restart with Mitrisin and Colt Mather of
Webster on the back bumper of Greiner's #29 machine. On the restart, Mather
worked the bottom side of the track and made the pass on Greiner for the lead.
Mather led the final two laps for the win after starting 10th, with Greiner
taking second and Mitrisin in third. The battle for the fourth spot went to
Pinkerton, who battled with veteran driver Jim Brown of Fremont who took
fifth.
Next Wednesday, July 19,
will be Eric Palmer Racing Night featuring the USRA Casey’s General Stores
Weekly Racing Series, plus a FREE copy of the latest issue of Speedway

KONKEL,
PETER, KUNKLE, HOVDEN, MOUDRY SHARE CRESCO WINNERS CIRCLE
CRESCO,
Iowa (July 9) --
The ninth night of points racing was on tap at the Cresco Speedway on Sunday,
and the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series drivers delivered yet
another stellar performance for the racing fans in attendance.
In the USRA Modified
division, defending track champion Ron Konkel of Caledonia, Minn., scored his
second victory of the season. Konkel set a blistering pace around the high
side of the 3/8-mile clay oval and went untouched for the duration of the
20-lap main event. Current track points leader Kevin Pittman of Waterloo
finished second, followed by Chad Lerch of Arlington. Alan Mondus of
Lakeville, Minn., finished fourth after starting 10th on the grid, while
opening night winner Darrin Walch of Postville rounded out the top five
finishers.
Shawn Peter held off fellow
Mabel, Minn., racer Brian Gjere to take home the top prize in the USRA Stock
Car main event for the second time in four weeks. Defending track champ and
current USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series national points
leader Tom Schmitt of Independence finished third, while Cresco's Shay Curtin
was fourth and Lynn Panos of Protivin completed the first five finishers
across the finish line.
Oelwein's Brian Kunkle
solidified his position at the top of the USRA B-Modified points standings as
he picked up the win on Sunday. After starting eighth, Kunkle methodically
picked off competitors as he raced to his fifth victory of the season at
Cresco. Raymond Lundry of Maynard pocketed the runner-up paycheck, Jeremy
LaPlant of Elgin took third, Decorah's Shane Panos was fourth and Virgil
Johnson of Waukon grabbed the fifth-place spot.
In USRA Hobby Stock action,
Mitch Hovden of Decorah picked up his fourth victory of the year as he went
wire to wire to finish ahead of Elma's Brandon Hare and David Lickteig of
Cresco. Points leader Chris Hovden of Cresco was fourth at the finish, while
Bernie Adams of Stacyville rounded out the top five.
The evening's most exciting
finish came in the Outlaw Hobby main event. At the finish line, three cars
traded paint for the win with Ben Moudry of Protivin barely edging out
11th-starting Pete Solum of Spring Grove, Minn., for the win. Waukon's Austin
Curtin sits second in the track title chase, but has yet to pick up a win this
season. Sunday night he came up just a few feet short and took home a
third-place paycheck. Jason Borsheim of Mabel, Minn., took fourth place and
points leader Patty Fosaaen of Waukon finished fifth after starting 10th.
The lights won't stay dark
for long as the roar of engines will fill the Cresco, Iowa, skies this
Thursday, July 13, as Featherlite presents the O’Reilly Auto Parts USMTS
Modifieds as the hottest Modified drivers in the nation return to the Cresco
clay for another $2,000-to-win show. Also on the racing card sponsored by

BAKKEN,
SCHMIDT, BROWN, HADACEK TOP USRA ACTION AT BRITT
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT,
Iowa (July 7) --
It was a night full of drivers wanting to win. Heartland Motors Night at the
Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway got underway with the
Junior Hornets. The #7 of Tim Moretz didn’t feel much competition as he
pulled away from his competitors on his way to a victory. In the Senior
Hornet division, three cars made the call. It was a battle to the finish
between the #03 of Matt Baker and the #21 of Brandon Ostwald. A collision in
turn 4 between the two was sure to dampen any hopes of a victory for either
driver. After some creative maneuvering to keep their cars under control,
Baker and Ostwald both finished the race with the #03 just edging his
competition.
In the biggest class of
the evening, the USRA Hobby Stocks brought their “A” game to the table. The
15-car feature got started with the front row drivers, Gary Lalor and
Michael Schadendorf, creating a little space for themselves in front. It
didn’t take long for the #5 of Randy Hadacek to make his way from his 10th
starting position to battle the front runners. After three cautions, Lalor
held his ground against his challengers. Hadacek was not going to be denied
as he passed Lalor in turn 2 of the final lap to take the checkered. Lalor
and Schadendorf were close behind to take second and third, respectively.
Next up were the USRA
B-Modifieds. The “Meservey Missile” of Logan Brown started on the pole with
J.J. Wise right on his bumper. When the green flag dropped, Brown jumped
into the lead and a battle with the #68 of Wise. With seven laps to go,
Jesse Hoeft spun in turn 2 to give the field a chance to catch up with the
leaders. On the restart, the “Fast 5” of Jake Simpson was charging on the
high side and cars were battling three-wide in the corners. Brown, though,
was not going to be denied as he edged Wise for the victory at the finish
line, followed by Simpson for third.
Only six USRA Modifieds
made the call on Friday night. Before lap 1 was in the books, the #50 of
Brad Bakken had taken the front spot and would not relinquish it. Bakken
recorded his eighth victory of the season in Britt, Iowa.
In the USRA Stock Car
nightcap, Tom Schmitt led the 11 drivers around the 3/8-mile dirt track. The
#02 of Jeff Dolphin was hot on his heels and seemed to only need a couple
more laps to make a battle for Schmitt’s position. Without a caution to
contend with, Schmitt held off Dolphin and recorded another victory at
Hancock County Speedway.
Next week’s racing action
will be Schroeder Racing Products Night featuring the USRA Casey’s General
Stores Weekly Racing Series with USRA Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Modifieds and
Hobby Stocks, plus Hornets. The first 800 fans through the gates will get a
FREE copy of Speedway Illustrated magazine. Gates open at 5 p.m. and racing
starts at 7:30.

Stores Hancock County Speedway is located 1.3 miles south of US 18 on James

GLENDENNING, BANKS, COOK, JONES, PORTER TAKE CHECKERS AT BLOOMFIELD
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (July 7) --
The USRA Casey's General Stores USRA Weekly Racing Series continued with
night number thirteen at the always-exciting Mountain Dew Bloomfield
Speedway with five classes in action. The young race fans had the chance to
win prizes from the Junior Fan Club along with the always-fun candy dash
with over 20, 000 pieces of candy sponsored by Wood Racing out of Sigourney.
In the first feature of
the night, the Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Cars battled it out for 18
laps of door-to-door action with three- and sometimes four-wide racing
action. Mike Robinson of Moravia led the first lap and tried to hold off
Matt Greiner of Washington, who made the pass on the bottom of turn 2 for
the lead. The two drivers swapped the lead and soon it was four cars
battling for the top spot with Ryan Cook and Colt Mather joining in on the
battle for the front. Pat Rachels also tried his luck running the top side
of the Speedway and made for a very interesting battle. With only three laps
remaining caution flew for Tyler McClure spinning in turn 4. This made for a
three-lap shootout with Jason Cook making the pass on Greiner going into
turn 1 and leading the final three laps for the win. Greiner took the second
spot with Mike Harward of Bloomfield in third and Mather taking fourth.
The second feature of the
night was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds with the fans getting to see
an up-and-coming star Brandon Banks of Washington work his way from the
eighth starting position to take the lead from Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr,
who lead the first six laps of the 20-lap feature. Banks worked the bottom
side of the racing surface to advance to his #22 machine to the front with
Tony Fraise of Donnellson following right behind after starting seventh. The
two drivers swapped the lead around the fast 3/8-mile clay oval and brought
the crowd to their feet several times with Fraise trying everything to put
pressure on the young driver, but Banks never made a mistake and held off
Fraise for the win. This was Banks- first win at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield
Speedway and third of his career. Fraise took a close second with another
Washington driver, Steve Stewart, taking third. Bloomfield's Jerry Pilcher
raced his way from 12th to a fourth-place finish.
In the Kollision Korner
Hornets feature, Larry Hopkins of Ottumwa and Gene Irwin of Bloomfield led
the field to the green for 10 laps of action. The two drivers battled for
the lead but David Probasco of Moulton took the lead on lap 4. Probasco's
new car was fast, but the red flag flew when Curtis Barnes of Greentop, Mo.
, got upside down in turn 1 and collected the #12 machine driven by Matt
Moore of Ottumwa. This set up a three-lap race to the checkers with Dale
Porter making the pass on lap 8 and Ryan Yahnke of Bloomfield bringing a new
car to battle for the lead. Nonetheless, Porter held off Yahnke for the win
while Tom Irwin took third after starting seventh. Probasco slipped back to
fourth.
The third appearance of
the Keith's Foods Late Models at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway saw
Tommy Elston of Keokuk taking the lead in his #45 machine until mechanical
problems on lap 15 ended his run to the checkers. This turned the lead over
to first-time visitor Paul Glendenning of Mt. Ayr who held off Chris Smyser
of Lancaster, Mo. , for the win. Gordy Grubb of Oskaloosa finished third and
Chris Fontana of Pella was fourth.
The event of the night was
the Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stock feature going 15 laps with Jim Sulser of
Centerville and Ray Lasser Jr. of Ottumwa leading the field to the green.
Lasser took the lead on lap 1, but spun his machine in turn 2 on the second
lap. Lasser was lucky enough to have everyone miss his machine setting in
the middle of the track. Sulser, along with Jim Walker of Mystic, battled
for the lead before Walker gained the top spot. The #42 machine of Ben Jones
worked the top side of the Speedway and took the lead coming off of turn 4.
Nathan Wood of Sigourney raced his #52 machine from 11th to second and tried
to close the gap between himself and Jones. The caution flag flew for Lance
Meyer spinning in turn 4 and crashing into the billboards. This set up a
green-white-checkered shootout with Jones holding off Wood for his fifth win
of 2006 at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway. Wood took a close second
with Walker in third and Danny Thrasher of Agency and 12th-starting Cory
Brown of Ottumwa taking fourth and fifth, respectively.
Two big nights of racing
action are on tap at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway on Thursday and
Friday, July 13-14, for the annual Davis County Fair. On Thursday, DC Diesel
presents the dream date for open-wheeled sprint car fans. The winged
warriors of the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders make their only appearance
of the 2006 season, while the familiar Mid America 305 Winged Sprints join
in the fun for two complete programs in one night. On Friday, the USRA
Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series takes to the track featuring
five fast & furious classes, including Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds,
Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Cars, Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stocks and
Kollision Korner Hornets. Both nights, gates open at 5 p. m. with racing at
7:30.

SIX
REPEAT WINNERS TAKE HOME CHECKERS AT PEPSI SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS, Mo. (July 8) --
RaceMart Night at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway saw six drivers take
home repeat wins, while one driver claimed his first of the season at
Memphis. Tommy Elston (Keith's Food Late Models), Tony Fraise (Bentz GM
Country USRA Modifieds), Matt Greiner (USRA Stock Cars), Mike Shelton (USRA
Hobby Stocks), Rodger Dresden (Outlaw Hobbies) and Andrew Hustead (Hornets)
all picked up repeat checkers at the speedway for the 2006 season. Wyatt
Lantz (Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds) picked up his first win of the
season at Memphis.
The first feature to take
to the speedway was the 15-lap Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds, with Jared
Fuller and Jeff Waterman leading the field to the drop of the green flag.
Wyatt Lantz jumped from his third place starting spot to grab the lead on
lap 1, with Waterman close behind in second. Lantz would pull away from the
field and led all 15 laps to claim his first win of 2006 at the speedway.
Waterman and Tony Dunker, who started eighth, battled side-by-side for
second, with Waterman edging out Dunker at the finish for second. Jerry Poor
came from ninth to finish in fourth, with Larry Newman coming home in fifth.
Heat race winners were Lantz and Jim Gillenwater.
Up next was the 15-lap
Outlaw Hobby feature, with Adam Birck and Jeff Soper drawing the front row
for the event. Soper would take advantage of his front row start to grab the
lead on the drop of the green flag. Soper would hold the top spot until lap
4, when Rodger Dresden, who started fifth, slipped under him for the lead.
Dresden then held off a late charge from Beau Taylor, who started tenth, to
grab his second win of the season at Memphis. Birck came home third, Soper
held on for fourth, with Michael St. Clair coming from the rear after being
involved in an early spin to finish in fifth. Brian Howerton and Jim Oliver
Jr. each picked up a heat race win.
Matt Greiner and Troy
Alexander took the field to the green in the 18-lap USRA Stock Car feature,
with Alexander jumping out front on lap 1. But Alexander's lead only lasted
for one lap, as Greiner slipped by on lap 2 for the top spot. Greiner then
pulled away from the field over the final 16 laps to pick up his second win
in a row and fourth overall at the track. Alexander came home third, Chris
Wibbell came from ninth to finish in third, Jason Cook came from the rear
after being involved in a spin to finish fourth, with Ryan Cook rounding out
the top five. Heat race wins went to Greiner and Alexander.
The USRA Hobby Stock
feature turned out to be worth the wait, as three drivers crossed the line
side-by-side for the checkers. Cory Brown and Rick Sands took the field of
16 to the drop of the green, with Brown taking the lead on lap 1. Brown
would continue to pace the field, as Mike Shelton, who started ninth and
Nathan Wood, who started seventh, were working there way towards the front.
A late race caution erased the lead that Brown had built up, and brought
Shelton and Wood to his back bumper. On the restart, Brown once again
grabbed the lead but now had to fend off Shelton and Wood. Coming off of
four to the checkers Shelton jumped to the outside of Brown, with Wood going
inside. The three drivers raced three wide to the checkers, with Shelton
edging out Brown by a nose for the win. Wood would finish a close third, Bob
Lynch came from fourteenth to finish in fourth, with Bill Gibson coming home
in fifth. Wood and Brown each claimed a win in the heat races.
Bill Young and J.D. Murphy
led the field to the green in the five-lap Hornet feature, with Murphy
taking the lead on lap 1. Murphy would hold on until the final corner of the
final lap, as Andrew Hustead jumped to his outside coming out of four. The
two raced side-by-side to the finish, with Hustead edging out Murphy at the
line for the win. Young and Jim Hamilton rounded out the field. Hustead also
picked up the heat race win.
The 20-lap Bentz GM
Country USRA Modified feature saw Dennis Elliott and Tony Fraise drawing on
the front row for the event. Fraise took advantage of his front row start to
grab the lead on the drop of the green flag. Fraise would go on to lead all
twenty laps to pick up his fifth win of 2006 at the speedway. Mark Burgtorf
came from eighth to finish in second, Michael Long was third, Mike Bennett
came home fourth, with Martin Bennett coming from tenth to round out the top
five. Heat race winners were Mike Bennett and Burgtorf.
Jeff Guengerich and Paul
Glendenning drew the front row for the 25-lap Keith's Foods Late Model
feature, the final feature of the evening. Guengerich would grab the lead on
the drop of the green flag, with Glendenning close behind in second.
Guengerich would hold the top spot until a restart on lap 10, when Tommy
Elston shot by on the top side to take over the lead. Elston would go on to
lead the final 15 laps to claim his third win in four starts at the track.
Gary Webb came from ninth to finish in second, Glendenning held on for
third, Justin Reed was fourth, with Gordy Grubb coming home in fifth. Jody
Wood and Webb each picked up a heat race win.
Coming up next week at the
Pepsi Scotland County Speedway will be RPM & Off-Road Cooper Tires/Verly
Gordy/Pam's Cakes Night. The battle for the USRA Casey's General Stores
Weekly Racing Series track and national points continues in the Bentz GM
Country USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds

GREINER,
WOOD TAKE TOP HONORS WITH USRA STOCK CAR SHOOTOUT WINS AT PEPSI SCOTLAND
COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS,
Mo. (July 1) --
The fourth leg of the USRA Stock Car Shootout was held at the Pepsi Scotland
County Speedway on Saturday, with J's Foods sponsoring the big event. Matt
Greiner took home the big prize in the USRA Stock Car feature, while Nathan
Wood claimed victory in the USRA Hobby Stock main event. Also taking home
feature wins on the evening were Martin Bennett (Bentz GM Country USRA
Modifieds), Jim Gillenwater (Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds), Beau Taylor
(Outlaw Hobbies) and Brent Hartley (Hornets).
Starting the evening off
first was the 15-lap Advance Trading USRA B-Modified feature, with Jim
Gillenwater and Jeff Waterman on the front row for the event. Gillenwater
would take advantage of his front row start to grab the lead on lap 1, with
Waterman and Tony Dunker battling for second. Gillenwater held the lead, with
Dunker and Wyatt Lantz, who started seventh, closing in to challenge him.
Gillenwater, Dunker and Lantz came up on lap traffic with two laps to go,
making it a three way battle for the top spot. Gillenwater would maneuver thru
the lapped traffic and held on for his first win of 2006 at the speedway.
Dunker held off Lantz for second, with Waterman coming home in fourth, and
Jack Evans Jr. coming from tenth to round out the top five. Heat race winners
were Dunker and Evans Jr.
Up next was the eight-lap
Hornet feature. J.D. Murphy and Andrew Hustead took the field to the drop of
the green flag, with Hustead jumping out into the lead on lap 1. Hustead would
hold the top spot until lap 5, when he drifted high in turn four, allowing
Brent Hartley, who started sixth, to slip under for the lead. Hartley then
held off Hustead over the final three laps to claim his fourth win in a row at
Memphis. Murphy held on for third, Jim Hamilton was fourth, with Bill Young
coming home in fifth. Hartley also claimed the win in the heat race.
Adam Birck and Troy Brierton
drew the front row for the 15-lap Outlaw Hobby Stock feature, but it was sixth
place started Rodger Dresden coming up to grab the lead on lap 1. Dresden
would hold the top spot until disaster struck him going into turn three, as he
lost the drive-shaft. Birck would inherit the lead on the restart and then
held it until lap 8, when Michael St. Clair, who started eleventh, jumped to
his outside for the top spot. St. Clair was looking to be heading for his
first career Outlaw Hobby Stock feature win, but Beau Taylor, who started
tenth, had different ideas. Taylor would slip under St. Clair going into two
on the final lap, as the two went down the backstretch side-by-side. Taylor
would take the advantage coming off of four to grab his second win in a row.
St. Clair held on for a career best second, Birck was third, Brian Howerton
came home fourth, with Brian Clark rounding out the top five. Heat race
winners were Howerton, Taylor and Earl Six.
The 18-lap Bentz GM Country
USRA Modified feature took to the speedway next, with David Wietholder and
Mark Burgtorf making up the front row for the event. Burgtorf took advantage
of his front row starting spot to move out front on lap 1. Burgtorf would
build up a straight away lead over the field, when the caution waved on lap
16, setting up a green-white-checkered finish. On the restart, Martin Bennett
jumped to Burgtorf's outside, as the two raced side-by-side for the final two
laps. Burgtorf went into turn three on the final lap to hard and spun, giving
Bennett all he needed to go on for his first win of 2006 at the speedway. Mike
Bennett, who came from the rear after having a flat before the green was
dropped, followed dad home in second, Wietholder held on for third, Jared
Durbin recovered from a spin to finish in fourth, with Chris Eggers coming
home in fifth. Martin Bennett and Burgtorf claimed wins in the heat races.
Cory Brown and Bill Gibson
drew the front row for the 15-lap USRA Hobby Stock Shootout feature, with
Brown moving out front on the drop of the green. Brown was looking to being
heading for his first career feature win, when disaster struck him on lap 9
with a broken axle. Gibson would inherit the lead on the restart and then held
the top spot until lap 11, when Wood slipped under him. Wood, who was running
the bottom of the speedway, and Gibson, who was up top, ran the final four
laps side-by-side, with Wood slipping ahead at the line to grab the $400 top
prize. Shelton and Randy Hadacek had a side-by-side battle for third, with
Shelton edging him out at the line for third, with Mark Moore coming home in
fifth. Heat race winners were Gibson and Wood.
The final feature of the
night was the 25-lap USRA Stock Car Shootout event, with $1,000 waiting for
the winner. Troy Alexander and Matt Greiner drew the front row for the main
event, but it was fourth place starter Tom Schmitt splitting the two to grab
the lead on the drop of the green. Schmitt continued to lead the field and was
well on his way to the victory and the $1,000 top prize, but disaster struck
him on lap 17 when he got into a lapped car and cut a tire. Greiner inherited
the lead on the restart, with T.J. Criss close behind in second. Greiner would
hold off a final lap challenge from Criss to claim his second win in a row at
the speedway and taking home the $1,000 top prize. Colt Mather came home in
third, Schmitt charged back up from his flat to finish in fourth, with Jason
Cook coming home in fifth. Schmitt, Mather and Greiner each pick up a heat
race win.
Coming up next week at the
Pepsi Scotland County Speedway will be RaceMart Night with the return of the
Keith's Foods Late Models. Also, the battle for national and track points
continue for the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series. The Bentz
GM Country USRA Modifieds will be competing for $550 to win, USRA Stock Cars
and Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds will both be going for $350 to win, while
the USRA Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Hobbies will battle for $300 to win. Hornets
race for $100 to win. Gates next week will open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at
6:30 and racing to follow.

MATHER
TAKES THIRD STRAIGHT WIN, POCKETS $1,000 IN USRA STOCK CAR SHOOTOUT AT
MOUNTAIN DEW BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (June 30) --
The month of June came to a end with a bang and getting ready for the month of
July with fans having the opportunity to see five classes of action with two
special big money classes in action sponsored by Troy Elevator and Stop-N-Go
Drive Thru Night at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway. The USRA Stock Car
Shootout saw the Stock Car winner getting $1,000 and Hobby Stock victor
earning a $400 paycheck.
In the first feature, the
Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds took to the track with Jared Durbin of Fort
Madison taking the green from the pole position and leading all 15 laps for
his second career feature win -- both coming at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield
Speedway. Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr worked his way from the fifth spot to take
second, passing Casey Lancaster with four laps remaining. Lancaster was third
and veteran racer Jerry Pilcher finished fourth after starting ninth.
The second feature was the
Mid America 305 Winged Sprints with Logan Trueblood of Memphis, Mo., leading
the field to the green for 16 laps of open-wheel excitement. Steve Breazeale
of Trenton, Mo., took the lead in turn 3 and led all 16 laps for his third win
of 2006 season. Jeff Mitrisin of Oskaloosa was back in action after winning
the Tuesday night sprint show at the Scotland County Fair in Memphis, Mo. He
was piloting the #83 machine for the injured Brian Ridge of Ottumwa, and
worked his way from 10th to second but couldn't catch a break with the feature
going green to checkered and settled for second. Shawn Deman of Knoxville had
another good run in the #16 machine, taking home the third spot with Mark
Widmar of Ottumwa taking fourth. The First Choice Reality of Ottumwa Mystery
Spot went to Trueblood and the Lancaster Oil Company Hard Charger Award went
to Mitrisin, who passed eight cars on the march forward. The Haines Auto
Supply Hard Luck Award went to Jamie Needham of Moline, Ill., who fought a
power steering problem all night long.
Our third feature was the
Kollision Korner Hornets going eight laps with Brent Hartley of Niota, Ill.,
taking his first win after two tries at the Mountain-Dew Bloomfield Speedway.
Dale Porter of Floris took the second spot holding off the 11 machine of Larry
Hopkins who took third with last weeks feature winner Tom Irwin of Bloomfield
taking fourth.
The fourth feature was the
Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stock Shootout for $400 to win with Nathan Wood of
Sigourney leading all 18 laps for the win. The battle for second was between
Mike Shelton of Ottumwa and Gary Harward of Bloomfield with Shelton taking the
second spot with Harward in third and Mark Moore of Ottumwa in fourth. After
the feature in post-race inspection, however, Wood was disqualified for an
illegal rear-end gear and Shelton was awarded the win. All drivers moved up
one spot in the final finish order.
The final feature of the
night was the one everyone was wanting to see -- the third night of seven
continuous nights of racing action for the USRA Stock Car Shootout with $1,000
going to the winner in the Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Car main event.
Two experienced stock car drivers lead the field to the green for 25 laps of
door-to-door and wheel-to-wheel excitement with Tom Schmitt of Independence
and Steve Jackson of Des Moines. Schmitt took the race lead and led until lap
19 before the caution flew. This closed the field up for the restart and set
up the field for a six-lap run to the checkers. Schmitt dove down to the
bottom of the 3/8-mile oval in turn 1 while Colt Mather of Webster used us the
high side to his advantage, making the pass off of turn 2 to take the race
lead. Mather held off Schmitt for his third straight win at Bloomfield and the
$1,000 payday for the rookie. Schmitt took second just like on Thursday night
at the Hancock County Speedway in Britt. Pat Rachels, who scored the win on
Wednesday night at the Southern Iowa Speedway, took third after starting 10th
and Bert McDaniel of Eldon worked the bottom side of the Speedway for a run
from 12th to fourth.
The high-powered
mud-slinging Keith's Foods Late Models return to the Mountain Dew Bloomfield
Speedway next Friday, July 7, plus points battles continue in the Spilman Auto
Parts USRA Modifieds, Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Cars, Kirkland Auto
USRA Hobby Stocks and Kollision Korner Hornets. Gates open at 5 p.m., with hot
laps at 7:15 and racing at 7:30.

REICKS
POCKETS $1,000 IN USRA STOCK CAR SHOOTOUT
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT,
Iowa (June 29) --
The checkered flag was hotly sought after on the rare Thursday night of racing
at Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway. Drivers from all over
Iowa made the trip to Britt, Iowa, for the USRA Stock Car Shootout presented
by Pritchard Family Auto Stores.
Track manager John Pletcher
didn’t make the fans or drivers wait long for the main event. With 26 cars
scheduled to start the USRA Stock Car feature, it was bound to be a good fight
to the finish.
The drivers didn’t wait long
to get the yellow flag flying. After only three laps of racing, the #02 of
Jeff Dolphin and the #29 of Scott Bauer made an exit, giving Tory Riecks of
Waucoma a chance at the top spot. Tom Schmitt closed the gap as the two pulled
away in their own battle.
Meanwhile, behind the
leaders the drivers were being just as aggressive, going three- and four-wide
on the front and back stretch. The #41 of Rob Hughes and the #20 of Gary
Rotenberger used all 25 laps to make it from their 20th and 22nd starting
positions to finish fifth and sixth, respectively. Schmitt and Riecks
continued their battle in the front as the #27t of Riecks held off the driver
from Independence to take the checkered flag and the prize of $1,000.
The Hornet division was run
as one race. With only three cars making the call, Matt Baker of Britt took
the checkered flag in the Senior Hornets while Colby Fett collected another
victory in the Junior Hornets.
In the USRA B-Modified
feature, 16 cars made the call. Greg Simmons, Matt Lettow and Jamie Anderson
were quick to battle as they pulled away from the field. Halfway through the
race, Lettow, of Roland, was pacing the pack. The Rent-A-Dent #0 of Anderson
gained possession of the lead for a half lap. Lettow was not going to be
denied as he took the checkered flag for the first time in Britt.
It was another high car
count for the USRA Hobby Stocks. The #25 of Chris Monson started in second
position and didn’t look back. When the green flag waved, he pulled to the
front of the pack and held off the charges of the #32 of Tony Smidt to take
another victory at the Britt speedplant.
The USRA Modifieds were the
last to show off their power on Thursday night. Twelve cars made the call,
with Ed Green starting from the pole position. Green led the field until the
caution flag waved. On the restart, the #12 of Mark Elliott and the #50 of
Brad Bakken shot past Green. Elliot and Bakken raced side-by-side with Elliot
edging Bakken in the corners. It didn’t take Bakken long to get around
Elliott. Bakken pulled away from Elliott and the rest of the field to gain
another trophy at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway.
Next week’s racing action
will feature the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series with USRA
Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Modifieds and Hobby Stocks, plus Hornets. Admission
is $9 for adults and $7 for juniors (12-18) & seniors (62+). Children under 12
get in for FREE. Gates open at 5 p.m., hot laps are at 7:15 and racing begins
at 7:30.
The Pritchard Family Auto
Stores Hancock County Speedway is located 1.3 miles south of US 18 on James
St. (turns into Main Ave. and Diagonal and 1st), then 0.5 mile east on 220th
Ave., then 0.1 mile north on Jewell Ave. (ESR). For more information call the

RACHELS,
GREENE TAKE USRA STOCK CAR SHOOTOUT OPENERS
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 28) --
The first of seven straight nights of racing for the USRA Stock Cars and USRA
Hobby Stocks kicked off at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa,
Wednesday, with the USRA Stock Car Shootout presented by DRS Transport of
Oskaloosa, along with Kids Night at the races with all kinds of prizes given
away from the DRS team.
This was the first night for
the traveling series with USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series
national points being awarded to all drivers, and Musco Lighting USRA Modified
drivers also battling for track points.
The 20-lap feature for the
Musco Lighting USRA Modifieds was a thriller with Michael Bennett of Des
Moines and Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon swapping the lead nine different
times, while Bruce Hanford of Davenport also mixed things up with the three
drivers battling for the race lead. Two cautions closed the field up with only
two laps remaining. Pinkerton took the lead on the restart and cruised to the
checkered flag for his second straight win at the Mahaska County Half-Mile
Monster. Bennett took second with Hanford in third and Brandon Banks of
Washington if fourth, racing his way from the tail after spinning on lap 2.
The second feature of the
night was the USRA Hobby Stocks in action with Danny Thrasher of Agency
leading the field to the green. Thrasher looked to have the race under control
before a caution flag tightened the field up. On the restart, Bobby Greene of
Eddyville snagged the lead and held off several challenges from Nathan Wood of
Sigourney to take the win. Wood took second after working his way from the
10th starting spot, with Jared Sanders of New Sharon taking a hard-fought
third position. Jason VanZomeren of Oskaloosa recorded his best finish with
fourth-place.
In the final feature of the
evening, Pat Rachels of Knoxville took home the USRA Stock Car prize money and
trophy for his stellar performance. Rachels passed polesitter Eric Flander of
Barnes City for the lead and never looked back, working the high side of the
racing surface for the win. Flander and defending track champion T.J. Criss of
Oskaloosa battled for the second spot, but both drivers fell back as Bobby
Greiner Jr. of Ottumwa took the runner-up spot on the restart with only four
laps remaining. Colt Mather of Webster followed Greiner to the front and took
the third position after starting 10th. Double-duty Pinkerton was fourth.
The next race off the seven
day series will be Thursday night at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock
County Speedway in Britt, Iowa, with the USRA Stock Car winner getting $1,000
and the USRA Hobby Stock winner pocketing $400. Hot laps are at 7 p.m. with
racing action to follow.
The final two nights of the
seven-day USRA Stock Car Shootout will wrap up back here at the Southern Iowa
Speedway on Monday and Tuesday, July 3-4.
The Southern Iowa Speedway
is located 0.5 mile west of US 63 on SR 92, then 0.3 mile north on N. I St.
(at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds). For more information call the track

TAKES FOURTH STRAIGHT USRA HOBBY STOCK WIN AT BLOOMFIELD
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (June 23) --
A beautiful evening for the second half of the season and night number 11 was
held at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway sponsored by Karr Collision
Center of Bloomfield and Elmer Wood Co. of Moulton with 74 cars checked in for
action. This made for some very exciting racing action in all four classes as
the chase for track and national championships in the USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series heated up with the USRA Stock Cars featuring the
top four in national points and the USRA Hobby Stock national points leader in
attendance.
The first feature of the
night was the Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Car division going 18 laps
with Troy Alexander of Memphis, Mo., and Mike Robinson of Moravia leading the
field to the green flag. Robinson and Alexander battled for the race lead for
the first four laps wheel-to-wheel and door-to-door, with neither giving a
inch. The two drivers thrilled the crowd, but rookie driver Colt Mather of
Webster and Ryan Cook of West Point made it a four-car battle for the lead.
Ninth-starting Mather took the top spot on lap 8. Mather and Cook swapped the
lead two different times on laps 12 and 13 before Mather pulled away by two
car lengths for the win, making in two in a row at Bloomfield. Pat Rachels of
Knoxville put pressure on Cook with three laps remaining and made the pass on
the bottom for the second spot with Cook settling for third and brother Jason
Cook of Mt. Pleasant taking fourth with a three-car battle between Phil
McClure, Jim Lynch and Jason Cook.
In this tune-up for next
week's $1,000-to win USRA Stock Car Shootout, they showed the fans that
they'll be getting there money's worth with this class as it's always a
thriller when the USRA Stock Cars roll onto the track.
In the Kollision Korner
Hornet division, Brent Hartley of Niota, Ill., and Curtis Barnes of Greentop,
Mo., led the field to the green for the eight-lap feature event. Hartley took
the race lead off of turn 2 with Matt Moore and Larry Hopkins of Ottumwa
battling for the second spot. Tom Irwin of Bloomfield made it a three-car
battle for the lead with Irwin taking the lead on lap 4 and leading the final
four laps for the win. Hartley settled for the runner-up spot, followed by
Hopkins in third and last week's winner, Dale Porter, of Floris in fourth.
The Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby
Stock feature had it's ups and downs with Jim Sulser of Centerville leading 14
three-quarters of the race. Sulser looked to have his career first win in
hand, but bad luck struck again and Sulser's drive shaft came flying out from
under the car. He had settle for the third spot after coasting across the
start finish line. Williamsburg's Ben Jones inherited the lead and kept his
streak alive with his fourth straight win at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield
Speedway. Current track points leader and USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series national points leader Nathan Wood of Sigourney worked his way
from ninth and crossed the line in second with Sulser in third and Dustin
Griffiths taking fourth.
Next Friday, the Kirkland
Auto USRA Hobby Stock drivers will battle for $400 to win during the USRA
Stock Car Shootout, with several top area drivers expected to run for the big
money.
The fourth and final feature
of the night was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modified feature going 20 laps
with two seasoned veterans leading the field to the green flag. Tony Fraise of
Donnellson and Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Ill., battled for the first six laps,
swapping the lead several times before Burgtorf took the point and cruised to
the checkers with Fraise taking second, holding off last week's winner, Jared
Durbin of Fort Madison, who raced his way from the 11th starting spot. Brad
Pinkerton of New Sharon took fourth after starting ninth, while Chris Eggers
of Lancaster, Mo. finished fifth.
Next Friday, June 30, the
Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway will host the USRA Stock Car Shootout with a
$1,000 top prize on the line for the USRA Stock Cars. Also in action will be

HUGHES
EDGES SHRYOCK FOR MONETT PRIZE
MONETT,
Mo. (June 18) --
Jason Hughes of Colcord, Okla., put a stop to Kelly Shryock's onslaught Sunday
night before a packed grandstand at the Monett Speedway in Monett, Mo. --
albeit by mere inches -- to capture his first O’Reilly Auto Parts United
States Modified Touring Series feature race of the season. The win was also
the first of the 2006 campaign for one of his Hughes Chassis Modifieds in the
UNIJIG Builders Championship.
Shryock, who had won four of
the last five O’Reilly USMTS events, made a last-corner effort on the final
lap to get around Hughes at the finish of Sunday's 35-lapper, but was denied
his 10th win in 20 starts and had to settle for second-place money at the pay
window. Hughes pocketed $2,000 for winning the Summer Shootout presented by
O’Reilly Auto Parts and moved into the top-10 of the Dirt Works Race Cars
Southern Region points standings.
Shryock continues to lead
the Dirt Works Race Cars Southern Region standings, as well as the national
points chase as he looks to secure his eighth straight O’Reilly USMTS national
crown. The Fertile, Iowa, veteran also leads in most other categories,
including the Central Region standings, Reich Concrete/Yeager Machine
Northeast Region standings, Home Pride Passing Points Northeast Region
standings and the AMSOIL Lap Leader Award standings. Shryock's Skyrocket
Chassis company also holds the top spot in the UNIJIG Builders Championship.
USRA Casey's General Stores
Weekly Racing Series national points leader Jesse Stovall of Galena, Mo.,
earned a hard-fought third-place finish Sunday night, while Tommy Myer of
Blooming Prairie, Minn., finished fourth after leading the first 22 laps of
the race before surrendering the lead to Hughes. Late Model ace Terry Phillips
of Springfield, Mo., rounded out the top five finishers.
UP NEXT:

WEATHER CUTS SHORT PRITCHARD FAMILY AUTO STORES HANCOCK COUNTY SPEEDWAY SHOW
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT,
Iowa (June 16)
-- There was a great show for Beltech's Brandon Brock Memorial at the
Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway in Britt, Iowa, on
Friday, June 16. Unfortunately, it was in the sky and not on the race track.
Because of inclement
weather, including a dangerous lightning storm, only one feature race was run
on Kids Night presented by Mat's Place and Kunkel Plumbing & Heating.
Randy Hadacek of Britt led
the USRA Hobby Stock racers onto the track from his pole position. When the
green flag waved, Hadacek battled Gary Lalor and Chad Lundy, but never
relinquished his position. The 14-car feature ended without any cautions as
Hadacek picked up his first victory at the Britt, Iowa, facility. Chad Lundy
of Eagle Grove scored the runner-up finish, followed by Gary Lalor of Eagle
Grove, Wayne Landheer of Kanawha and Calvin Lange of Humboldt.
All other USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series classes were rained out.
Next week’s races with be
double fun as fans will get to see double features for USRA Casey’s General
Stores Weekly Racing Series featuring Stock Cars, Modifieds, B-Modifieds and
Hornets, along with a regular show for the Hobby Stocks on Hanson Construction
Night. Gates will open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at 7:30.
Tickets are $9 for adults and $7 for juniors (13-18) and seniors. Children 12
and under are admitted FREE each night.
The Pritchard Family Auto
Stores Hancock County Speedway is located 1.3 miles south of US 18 on James
St. (turns into Main Ave. and Diagonal and 1st), then 0.5 mile east on 220th
Ave., then 0.1 mile north on Jewell Ave. (ESR). For more information call the
track hotline at (641) 843-4513.

PITTMAN,
MOELLERS, MOUDRY, HOVDEN, LAPLANT SCORE IN CRESCO SPEEDWAY SCORCHER
CRESCO,
Iowa (June 18)
-- The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series continued at the
Cresco Speedway on Sunday, June 18, featuring the biggest car count of the
season with 104 drivers signed to do battle before a jam-packed grandstand of
fans in attendance to witness it all on Waukon Powersports Night.
In the USRA B-Modified
feature race, Jeremy LaPlant of Elgin roared from his 10th starting spot to
take down his second straight win, and third in four weeks. Polesitter Junior
Boyer of Calmar hung on for a runner-up finish, followed by Raymond Lundry of
Maynard, Jimmy Broszeit of Postville and opening night winner Brian Kunkle of
Oelwein. A season-high 17 cars were on hand for the first-year class at
Cresco.
Cresco's Chris Hovden
repeated his performance from a week ago, scoring the victory over a 22-car
field in the USRA Hobby Stock main event. Polesitter Paul Howard of Waukon
grabbed the second spot, with Jesse Holzer of Calmar, Bernie Adams of
Stacyville and Andy Kelly of Lanesboro, Minn., completing the top five.
Protivin's Ben Moudry topped
a 21-car field to garner the Outlaw Hobby win. Matt Jones of Waukon, Pete
Solum of Spring Grove, Minn., Austin Curtin of Waukon and Patty Fosaaen of
Waukon rounded out the top five, respectively.
The packed Cresco Speedway
pit area was highlighted by a season-high 26 entries in the always-tough USRA
Stock Car class. When the checkered flags waved to complete the thrilling main
event, Jeremy Moellers of Cresco stood in victory lane with his first trophy
of the season. Moellers held off Scott Bauer of Riceville for the win, with
last week's winner, Shawn Peter of Mabel, Minn., taking a hard fought third.
Lynn Panos of Protivin finished fourth and Decorah's Kevin Bidne crossed the
finish line in fifth.
USRA Modified veteran and
current track points leader Kevin Pittman of Waterloo came home with the
feature win Sunday night to become the first repeat winner of the season in
the USRA Modified division. Michael Darnall of West Union thrilled the fans
with a powerful run from 15th on the starting grid to a second-place finish at
the conclusion of the 20-lapper. Decorah drivers Dan Bohr and Todd Ihde
snagged the third and fourth place finishes, while young gun Alan Mondus of
Lakeville, Minn., pocketed a fifth-place paycheck after starting 11th.
The Howard County Fair kicks
off this week, and two great racing programs are on the schedule. This
Wednesday, June 21, the stars and cars of the O’Reilly Auto Parts United
States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) make their long-awaited return to the
Cresco Speedway for the 2nd Annual Howard County Fair Summer Classic. Local
speed merchants will give the touring pros all the competition they can handle
on the lightning-fast high-banked Cresco clay. Then on Sunday, June 25, it's a
special Howard County Fair presentation of the USRA Casey's General Stores
Weekly Racing Series featuring USRA Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Mods, Hobby
Stocks and Outlaw Hobbies.
For both shows, gates will
open at 4 p.m., with hot laps at 6:15 and racing at 6:30. Great ticket
packages are available for these events. Log on to
www.mightyhowardcountyfair.com for more information, or call (563) 547-4996.
The Cresco Speedway is
located 0.2 miles north of SR 9 on SW 7th (at the Howard County Fairgrounds).

DURBIN DOES
‘THE DEW’
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD,
Iowa (June 16) --
The weekly racing action in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series
resumed on Friday night at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway with four
classes in action. The Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stocks, Hougland's Repair Shop
USRA Stock Cars, Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds and Kollision Korner Hornet
divisions all put on a show with one first-time winner and the other three
drivers visiting victory lane for the second time.
In the Kollision Korner Hornet
feature, Matt Moore of Ottumwa took the race lead and looked to have his first
feature win in hand, but Dale Porter of Floris worked the high side of the
racing surface to close in on Moore. Porter and Moore battled for the lead over
the final three laps, with Porter taking the checkers followed by Moore in
second and the father-son duo of Gene and Tom Irwin, both of Bloomfield, taking
third and fourth, respectively.
The Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby
Stock feature was a thriller with Jim Sulser of Centerville taking the early
race lead and looking for his first win, but Ben Jones of Williamsburg spoiled
the night by taking the lead on the 13th lap and winning his third straight
feature event at Bloomfield. The second spot went to Sulser with Mark Moore of
Ottumwa taking third and Dustin Griffiths grabbing fourth.
In the Hougland's Repair Shop
USRA Stock Car feature, Matt Greiner of Washington and Colt Mather of Webster
each drew the front row with the pair battling for the lead, going
wheel-to-wheel and door-to-door to put on a great show for the fans. Then, Shane
Weller of Agency wanted the top spot and made it three wide several times for
the lead. On the final lap and final turn, the three drivers raced off of turn 4
with Greiner in the lead and Mather in second with Weller in third. Sparks flew
and tires smoked with Greiner and Mather trading paint. Mather crossed the
finish line first with Weller taking second and Greiner in third. Last week's
winner, Jason Cook of Mt. Pleasant, was fourth after coming from 10th.
The final feature of the night
was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modified feature event with Jared Durbin of Fort
Madison taking the race lead and leading all 15 laps for his first win after
three years in the cockpit. The runner-up spot went to Michael Long of Quincy,
Ill., with Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr in third and the fourth spot going to Jerry
Pilcher of Bloomfield. Brandon Banks of Washington finished fifth. Banks had to
work the whole day to get his No. 22 machine back into race shape after crashing
on Thursday night. The hard work paid off with another great run by the young
driver.
Next Friday, June 23, Elmer
Wood Company presents the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series
featuring five fast & furious classes, including Spilman Auto Parts Modifieds,
Hougland's Repair Shop Stock Cars, Kirkland Auto Hobby Stocks and Kollision

MEYER,
BROWNING, HAYES CLAIM FIRST CHECKERS OF SEASON AT PEPSI SCOTLAND COUNTY
SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS,
Mo. (June 17)
-- The Pepsi Scotland County Speedway once again provided fans with some great
side-by-side racing action on Saturday, as three drivers earned their first
feature wins of the season on Memphis Auto Parts Night. Ryan Meyer (Bentz GM
Country USRA Modifieds), Michael Browning (USRA Stock Cars) and Jimmy Hayes
(USRA Hobby Stocks) each picked up their first feature wins of the season at
Memphis, while Jack Evans Jr. (Advance Trading B-Modifieds), Beau Taylor
(Outlaw Hobbies) and Brent Hartley (Hornets) were repeat winners.
The first feature of the
evening was the 15-lap Advance Trading B-Modifieds, with Jim Gillenwater and
Josh Larson drawing the front row. On the drop of the green flag, it was
third-place starter Jack Evans Jr. jumping out into the lead. Evans held off
several challenges from Gillenwater to lead all 15 laps and claim his second
win of 2006 at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway. Ron York came from ninth to
finish in third, Toni Dunker started 10th and finished fourth, with Jerry Poor
rounding out the top five. Heat race winners were Dunker and Gillenwater.
Josh Soper and Jimmy Hooper
led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 15-lap Outlaw Hobby
feature, but it was fifth-place starter Brad Weber moving up to grab the top
spot on lap 1. Weber only held the lead for one lap as Beau Taylor slipped
under him to grab the top spot on lap 2. Taylor then held onto the top spot
until lap 5 when Rodger Dresden got under him to take over the lead. Dresden
and Taylor ran the next four laps side-by-side before Taylor got the advantage
out front. Taylor held on for his third win of the season, while Soper crossed
the line in second, followed by his father, Jeff Soper, in third. Dresden lost
a drive shaft in turn 3 but still finished fourth, with Adam Birck coming home
in fifth. Josh and Jeff Soper picked up the heat race wins.
Brent Hartley grabbed the
lead on lap 1 of the five-lap Hornet feature and never looked back, as he
claimed his third win in a row at Memphis. Andrew Hustead came home in second,
Matt Moore was third, J.D. Murphy was fourth and Brian Lemen rounded out the
field. The heat race win went to Hustead.
The 15-lap USRA Hobby Stock
feature was up next, with Derek Kirkland and Cory Brown leading the field to
the drop of the green flag, but it was fifth-place starter Nathan Wood taking
the lead on lap 1, with Jimmy Hayes and Mike Shelton battling close behind for
second. Wood held the top spot until lap 4, when Hayes slipped under him for
the lead. Hayes held off several challenges from Shelton over the final 11
laps to claim his first win of the season. Wood held on for third and Bill
Gibson was fourth, with Mark Moore coming home in fifth. Wood and Gibson each
picked up a heat race win.
Dennis Elliott and Aaron Poe
drew the front row for the 20-lap Bentz GM Country USRA Modified feature, with
Elliott edging out Ryan Meyer at the line to lead lap 1. Meyer was able to
work under Elliott on lap 2 to take over the top spot. Meyer then fought off
defending track champion Tony Fraise over the final laps to pick up his first
win of 2006. Mike Bennett came from 11th to finish in third and Elliott held
on for fourth, with David Wietholder rounding out the top five. Heat race wins
went to Elliott, Fraise and Mark Burgtorf.
The final race of the
evening was the 18-lap USRA Stock Car feature, with Bert McDaniel and Michael
Browning leading the field to the drop of the green. Browning took advantage
of his front row starting spot to move out front on lap 1, then held off
several challenges from McDaniel over the final 17 laps to claim his first
USRA Stock Car feature win at Memphis for 2006. Jason Cook came home in third,
Ryan Cook was fourth, with Jeremy Hamlin coming home in fifth. Shane Weller,
Browning and McDaniel each took the checkers in the heat races.
Coming up next week at the
Pepsi Scotland County Speedway will be a doubleheader of racing during the
Scotland County Fair. On Tuesday, June 20, Prim Rose Realty and Eggelston
Bookkeeping present the Ideal Ready Mix Sprint Invaders, along with the Mid
America 305 Winged Sprints. Gates will open at 4 p.m., with hot laps at 6:15

Pinkerton
accepts Musco Challenge, will start last on Wednesday for shot at $5,000 bonus
OSKALOOSA,
Iowa (June 13) --
After winning Monday night's preliminary feature to position himself near the
front of the starting line-up for Wednesday night's $5,000-to-win race, Brad
Pinkerton was looking good in his bid to win his third straight Musco Lighting
Great American Stock Car Challenge title at the Southern Iowa Speedway in
Oskaloosa, Iowa. The New Sharon, Iowa, driver was set to start first in Tuesday
night's Pole Dash to determine the first six starting spots for the inside row
for Wednesday's USRA Stock Car main event.
Pinkerton rolled the dice on
Tuesday, however, as he accepted the Musco Challenge and will start last in
Wednesday's finale. If he can win from the back row in his No. 17p machine,
Pinkerton will pocket an extra $5,000 bonus, bringing his total winnings to
$10,000.
On Monday night, Pinkerton
used the low side of the racing surface and a late-race caution to capture the
checkers in the 25-lap prelim after starting 18th on the grid. He will start no
better than 23rd on Wednesday, but will have 35 laps to track down the leaders.
Tuesday night's preliminary
feature winner will also have the opportunity to accept the Musco Challenge and
join Pinkerton at the rear of the pack when the green flag waves to start
Wednesday night's finale.
"Every driver here will tell
you that Brad is the man to beat at Oskaloosa," said event promoter Todd Staley.
"Thanks to several great sponsors and Brad's acceptance of the Musco Challenge,
the heat is really turned up for Wednesday's championship race."
The big winners are the fans
and the other 23 drivers in the main event field. But Pinkerton just may have
the last laugh. Last year, Pinkerton started on the pole and led every lap en
route to his second straight Musco Lighting Great American Stock Car Challenge
victory. In 2004, he started 15th before passing 14 cars and pocketing the top
prize.
In addition to Musco Lighting,
sponsors of the Musco Challenge bonus include the Doug's 4-Wheelers, Pro-Line
Buildings, Wayne Larson Racing, Harris Auto Racing, Quick Time Performance
Products, RL Promotions and the Southern Iowa Fair.
The 3rd Annual Musco Lighting
Great American Stock Car Challenge continues on Tuesday and Wednesday, June
13-14. Tuesday will feature another full program of USRA Stock Cars and Hobby
Stocks on Mike's Tire & Alignment Qualifying Night. Wednesday night's program

Pinkerton
accepts Musco Challenge, will start last on Wednesday for shot at $5,000 bonus
OSKALOOSA,
Iowa (June 13) --
After winning Monday night's preliminary feature to position himself near the
front of the starting line-up for Wednesday night's $5,000-to-win race, Brad
Pinkerton was looking good in his bid to win his third straight Musco Lighting
Great American Stock Car Challenge title at the Southern Iowa Speedway in
Oskaloosa, Iowa. The New Sharon, Iowa, driver was set to start first in Tuesday
night's Pole Dash to determine the first six starting spots for the inside row
for Wednesday's USRA Stock Car main event.
Pinkerton rolled the dice on
Tuesday, however, as he accepted the Musco Challenge and will start last in
Wednesday's finale. If he can win from the back row in his No. 17p machine,
Pinkerton will pocket an extra $5,000 bonus, bringing his total winnings to
$10,000.
On Monday night, Pinkerton
used the low side of the racing surface and a late-race caution to capture the
checkers in the 25-lap prelim after starting 18th on the grid. He will start no
better than 23rd on Wednesday, but will have 35 laps to track down the leaders.
Tuesday night's preliminary
feature winner will also have the opportunity to accept the Musco Challenge and
join Pinkerton at the rear of the pack when the green flag waves to start
Wednesday night's finale.
"Every driver here will tell
you that Brad is the man to beat at Oskaloosa," said event promoter Todd Staley.
"Thanks to several great sponsors and Brad's acceptance of the Musco Challenge,
the heat is really turned up for Wednesday's championship race."
The big winners are the fans
and the other 23 drivers in the main event field. But Pinkerton just may have
the last laugh. Last year, Pinkerton started on the pole and led every lap en
route to his second straight Musco Lighting Great American Stock Car Challenge
victory. In 2004, he started 15th before passing 14 cars and pocketing the top
prize.
In addition to Musco Lighting,
sponsors of the Musco Challenge bonus include the Doug's 4-Wheelers, Pro-Line
Buildings, Wayne Larson Racing, Harris Auto Racing, Quick Time Performance
Products, RL Promotions and the Southern Iowa Fair.
The 3rd Annual Musco Lighting
Great American Stock Car Challenge continues on Tuesday and Wednesday, June
13-14. Tuesday will feature another full program of USRA Stock Cars and Hobby
Stocks on Mike's Tire & Alignment Qualifying Night. Wednesday night's program
will feature last chance races for Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks, with line-ups
determined by points accumulated during the first two nights. A full program of
Musco Lighting USRA Modifieds are also on Wednesday's card, which culminates
with the $1,000-to-win, $400-to-start Hobby Stock main event and the

PINKERTON,
SMITH SECURE OPENING NIGHT WINS AT 3RD ANNUAL MUSCO LIGHTING GREAT AMERICAN
STOCK CAR CHALLENGE
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA,
Iowa (June 12) --
Opening night of the 3rd Annual Musco Lighting Great American Stock Car
Challenge was staged Monday at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa,
with Arnold Motor Supply Qualifying Night #1. A ferocious field of USRA Stock
Cars and USRA Hobby Stocks were in action, all trying to lock themselves in for
the big show on Wednesday night where the Stock Car winner gets $5,000 and the
Hobby Stock champion earns $1,000 for the win.
In Monday's USRA Hobby Stock
feature event, Mitch Hovden of Decorah and Steve Holthaus of Cresco led the
field to the green. Holthaus took the early race lead and led through lap 10 of
the scheduled 18-lap contest before Dustin Smith of Lake City gained the top
spot. Smith went on to lead the final eight laps and pick up the win.
The fans enjoyed a good battle
for the runner-up spot was between Grant Moline of Manson and Sigourney driver
Nathan Wood. With three laps remaining, Wood made the pass and took second after
starting 17th with Moline in third and Hartford's Jason Murray taking fourth
after being a front-runner battling for the lead several times during the early
going. The fifth spot went to Devin Smith of Lake City, younger brother to the
feature winner. The sixth and final transfer spot went to Brandon Toftee of
Webster City, who worked his magic from 22nd on the grid after running outside
of the top six until the last lap.
These six drivers will battle
tomorrow night in a Pole Dash to decide how they will line-up on Wednesday night
for the first six inside row positions.
The USRA Stock Car feature was
a thriller with three- and four-wide racing for the top six spots. At the drop
of the green flag, Brian Edel of Oskaloosa battled with Tom Schmitt of
Independence for the race lead with Edel taking over the top spot on lap three
and leading the first 21 circuits before losing the lead to two-time defending
Musco Lighting Great American Stock Car Challenge champion Brad Pinkerton of new
Sharon, who worked the bottom side of the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster to
take the lead, then held off Edel over the final four laps for the win.
Pinkerton missed the redraw
after finishing third in his heat, making for a deep starting spot. Pinkerton,
nonetheless, worked his way from 18th to take the win with a little help from a
late-race caution -- the only caution of the 25-lapper.
Edel settled for the second
spot with rookie Stock Car racer Colt Mather of Webster taking third after
battling early for the race lead. The fourth spot went to Bobby Greiner Jr. of
Ottumwa, who mixed it up several times for the top spot but settled for the
fourth spot. Another Stock Car rookie, Nathan Wood of Sigourney, took fourth
after starting 13th. With his fifth-place finish, the USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series national points leader in the Hobby Stock division
secured himself a spot in both the Hobby Stock and Stock Car main events on
Wednesday night.
The hard charger of the race
was the No. 34 machine of Pat Rachels of Knoxville, who took sixth after
starting 23rd. Rachels beat Justin Temeyer of Independence at the line by mere
inches to earn the sixth and final transfer spot into Wednesday's $5,000-to-win
finale.
The 3rd Annual Musco Lighting
Great American Stock Car Challenge on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 13-14. Tuesday
will feature another full program of USRA Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks for Mike's
Tire & Alignment Qualifying Night. Wednesday night's program will feature last
chance races for Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks, with line-ups determined by points
accumulated during the first two nights. A full program of Musco Lighting USRA
Modifieds are also on Wednesday's card, which culminates with the $1,000-to-win,
$400-to-start Hobby Stock main event and $5,000-to-win, $1,000-to-start Stock
Car championship race.
Gates open 5 p.m. both nights,
with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at 7:30. On Tuesday, admission is $12 for
adults while Wednesday's tickets are $15. Juniors (13-18) and Seniors (62+) are
$10 on Tuesday, $12 on Wednesday. Children 12 and under get in for FREE both

FOUR NEW
WINNERS VISIT VICTORY LANE AT PEPSI SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS,
Mo. (June 10) --
KRNQ Radio Night at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway produced some great
racing action, along with four new winners ending up in victory lane. Thad
Trump (Keith's Foods Late Models), Mark Burgtorf (Bentz GM Country USRA
Modifieds), Bill Gibson (USRA Hobby Stocks) and John Oliver Jr. (Outlaw
Hobbies) each picked up there first feature wins on the season, while Matt
Greiner (USRA Stock Cars), Tony Dunker (Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds) and
Brent Hartley (Hornets) were repeat winners.
The evening started out with
the USRA Hobby Stock 12-lap feature, with Mark Moore and Mike Shelton drawing
the front row for the event. But it was third place starter Bill Gibson
grabbing the lead on the drop of the green flag. Gibson would hold off several
challenges from Mike Shelton to lead all 12 laps and claim his first win of
the season at Memphis. Robby Sands came home in third, Rusty Sands was fourth,
with Moore holding on to finish in fifth. Heat race winners were Moore and
Shelton.
J.D. Murphy and Cody Martin
led the field to the green in the 10-lap Hornet feature, with Brent Hartley,
who started fourth, grabbing the lead on lap 1. Hartley would hold the lead
until lap 5, when Andrew Hustead jumped to his outside to take over the top
spot. Hustead and Hartley battled side-by-side over the next four laps, before
Hartley took the advantage out front on lap 9. Hartley then held off Hustead
on the final lap to pick up his second win in a row at the speedway. Murphy
held on for third, Bill Young was fourth, with Brian Lemen coming home in
fifth. Hustead picked up the heat race win.
Up next was the 20-lap
Keith's Foods Late Model feature, with Thad Trump and Rickey Frankel making up
the front row for the event. Trump took advantage of his front row start to
jump into the lead on lap 1. Trump held the top spot until lap 14, when Tommy
Elston slipped by on his outside to grab the lead. Elston would bobble on lap
16, allowing Trump to slip back by for the lead. Trump then held Elston off on
the final four laps to claim his first win of 2006 at Memphis. Jody Wood came

towards the front. Poor would jump under York on lap 8 to take over the top
spot, only to loose it to Dunker one lap later. Dunker then held off Evans Jr.
to pick up his fourth win of the season at the speedway. Poor held on for
third, York came home in fourth, with Joe Hooper rounding out the top five.
Larry Newman and Dunker each claimed a heat race win.
Dave Hudson and Bobby
McCartney drew the front row for the 15-lap Outlaw Hobby feature, but it was
sixth place starter John Oliver Jr. making some bold moves to lead lap 1.
Oliver Jr. was pulling away from the field, when a late caution brought the
rest of the field to his back bumper. On the restart, Oliver Jr. once again
jumped into the lead, but now had to fend of Beau Taylor, who started tenth.
Taylor tried Oliver Jr. on the high side, but couldn't make the pass as Oliver
Jr. held on for his first win of 2006 at the speedway. Brandon Rothzen came
home in third, Jeff Soper was fourth, with Rodger Dresden coming from twelfth
to round out the top five. Heat race winners were Taylor, Dresden and Oliver
Jr.
The 15-lap USRA Stock Car
feature was up next, with rookie Abe Huls and Ryan Cook on the front row. Ryan
jumped out into the lead on the drop of the green flag and then held it until
lap 3, when Matt Greiner slipped under him for the top spot. Greiner would
then go on to lead the final 12 laps to claim his second win of the season at
Memphis. Ryan held on for second, Troy Alexander was third, Jason Cook came
from tenth to finish in fourth, with Huls coming home in fifth. J. Cook and
Alexander each picked up a heat race win.
The final feature of the
night was the 20-lap Bentz GM Country USRA Modified feature, with Mike
Delozier and Martin Bennett drawing the front row for the event. On the drop
of the green flag, Bennett would grab the lead, with Mark Burgtorf close
behind in second. Bennett and Burgtorf would run side-by-side for the top spot
until lap 13, when Burgtorf got the advantage out front. Burgtorf then held
off Bennett to pick up his first win of the season at the speedway. Mike
Bennett came home third, Michael Long was fourth, with Tony Fraise coming from
tenth to round out the top five. Heat race wins went to Martin Bennett and

COOK,
FRAISE, JONES, PORTER, HILLMAN TAKE MOUNTAIN DEW BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY CHECKERS
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (June 9) --
The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series was back in action Friday
night at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway with the Hougland's Repair Shop
USRA Hobby Stocks, Kirkland Auto USRA Stock Cars, Spilman Auto Parts USRA
Modifieds and Kollision Korner Hornets, along with the Mid America 305 Winged
Sprints in action on Crop Service Night. With a forecast of rain in the area,
racing action was wrapped up and fans were back on the road at 10:30 p.m.
despite five classes in action.
The night started off with
the Mid America 305 Winged Sprint Car feature first on the card with 16 winged
warriors checked in for action. The night didn't start off very good as the
red flag stopped racing action with Brian Ridge of Ottumwa and Kevin Tanner of
Russell getting upside down in turns 3-4. Tanner exited his No. 33 machine and
was okay but Ridge was transported to the Davis County Hospital. When the
racing action restarted, John Hillman of Jefferson City, Mo., shoot out to the
race lead, and proceeded to lead all 15 laps for his first ever 305 feature
win. Rob Kubli of Milo closed in on Hillman on lap 11 in turns 3-4, but lapped
traffic caused Kubli to lose the second spot to Shawn Deman of Knoxville, who
worked the traffic to his advantage to take home the second spot. Kubli took
third, with Matt Stephenson of Des Moines taking the fourth spot. The Haines
Auto Supply Hard Luck Award went to Logan Trueblood of Memphis, Mo., with the
Oskaloosa Gas & Oil Mystery Spot going to Steve Breazeale of Trenton, Mo., who
finished fifth. The Lancaster Oil Hard Charger Award went to Jerry Crabb of
Chartion and the First Choice Reality Mystery Spot went to Kevin Tanner for
the 13th starting spot.
In the Kirkland Auto USRA
Hobby Stock feature it was the second feature of the night going 15 laps with
Jim Sulser of Centerville, Jim Walker of Mystic and Bill Gibson of Knoxville
battling for the race lead for the first six laps before Ben Jones of
Williamsburg closed in for the race lead with all four drivers, plus Ray
Lasser Jr. of Ottumwa, Nathan Wood of Sigourney, Mark Moore of Ottumwa and
Gary Harward of Bloomfield battling for the fourth and fifth spot. Jones made
the pass on the high side of turn 4 on lap 12 and led the final three laps for
his second straight win. Walker took the second spot with Gibson taking third
and Harward in fourth. Sulers' good run ended with mechanical trouble on lap
13, ending his good run in 16th.
The third feature of the
night was the Kollision Korner Hornets with David Probasco of Moulton taking
the early race lead while Dale Porter of Floris and Tom Irwin of Bloomfield
closed in on Probasco for the race lead, but mechanical trouble ended
Probasco's night, sending him to the pits. Porter took the lead with Tom Irwin
and Larry Hopkins of Ottumwa battling for the second spot before Irwin took
the second spot and tried to close in on the No. 31 machine of Porter. The
white flag flew with Irwin closing in on the back bumper of Porter and the two
raced to the checkers with Porter taking the win by three feet over Irwin.
Hopkins was third and Matt Moore of Ottumwa brought home the fourth spot.
In the fourth feature it was
the always-thrilling Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Car feature going 18
laps with defending track champion Mike Robinson of Moravia and Jason Cook of
West Point battling for the race lead before Pat Rachels of Knoxville and
Chris Hawkins of Drakesville made it four-wide for the race lead in turns 1-2
to bring the crowd to their feet. Robinson took the lead on lap 5 and looked
to have the No. 78r hooked up and going to victory lane, but on lap 11, Cook
worked the bottom of the speedway to take the top spot from Robinson. Cook and
Robinson exchanged the lead the next two laps before Cook took command and led
the final five laps for the win after starting ninth. Robinson and Rachels
battled for the second spot over final five laps with Robinson hanging on for
the second spot with Rachels in third. Matt Greiner of Washington took the
fourth spot.
The final feature of the
night was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modified feature with Michael Long of
Quincy, Ill., taking the race lead with Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr running
second. Tony Fraise of Donnellson took the lead on lap 5 and powered the No.
45 Pepsi machine to victory lane with Long and Elliott going wheel-to-wheel
for the second spot with Long in second, Elliott in third and rookie driver
Jeremy Townsend of Bloomfield coming home in the fourth position.

SCHMITT
BATTING .500 AT PRITCHARD FAMILY AUTO STORES HANCOCK COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT,
Iowa (June 9) --
The weather conditions weren’t exactly the greatest on Pepsi Night at the
Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway, but that didn’t stop the
racers from putting up some good battles for the checkered flag. The car count
was great on Friday night and, despite the wind, general manager John Pletcher
made sure the track was racer and fan friendly.
The USRA Hobby Stocks were
first on the block with 16 cars scheduled to make the race. Michael
Schadendorf of Algona led the field of cars from the start. Chris Monson moved
up fast from his fourth starting position to give him a battle for the top
spot. Schadendorf, Monson, Calvin Lange and Randy Hadacek all battled for the
top four spots, separating themselves from the rest of the field. With some
clever driving, Monson was able to pull away from the pack and take the
checkered flag for the second time this season.
There seemed to be two
separate battles going on in the Junior Hornet feature. Tim Moretz and Colby
Fett pulled away from Greg Fish and Devin Fish to battle for the lead. As
Moretz secured his spot in the lead, the Fish boys jockeyed for the third
position all the way to a photo finish. The No. 4jr of Devin Fish got the
position in turn 3 only to be passed on the front stretch by Greg to be pushed
back to fourth.
Greg Birkhofer and Charles
Gardner decided to switch rides before the Senior Hornet feature race, with
Birkhofer in Gardner’s No. 38 and vice versa. Birkhofer seemed to pull away
from Gardner until a near collision with the wall in turn 4. This allowed
Gardner to take the lead and the checkered flag.
Jamie Anderson seemed to
have the USRA B-Modified feature win in wraps with only two laps down. Flagman
Toby Boothroyd ended the hopes of a second victory of the season with a black
flag as Anderson was leaking fuel. The “fast five” of Jake Simpson took
advantage of Anderson’s misfortune and pulled away from the pack. Despite
three more cautions and a charge on the high side by Jesse Hoeft, Simpson was
able to collect the checkered flag.
The USRA Modifieds got the
dirt flying in their main event battle. Scotty Anderson jumped out to an early
lead only to spin in turn 4, collecting the likes of Doug Doocy, Clint Wendel
and Garry Oskerson. They all returned to racing action, but Mark Elliot and
Brad Bakken had too much for the field as they pulled away from the pack,
lapping two cars in their efforts. Elliot had a sizeable lead on Bakken until
the slower cars came into play. In turn 2, Elliot split Doocy and Rick
Schuller to widen the gap between him and Bakken. This was Elliot’s first win
of the season at the Britt, Iowa, speedplant.
Tom Schmitt and Jeff Dolphin
were the cars to watch in the USRA Stock Car feature. Schmitt started in the
eighth position while Dolphin was two rows ahead in fourth. After some great
maneuvers, Schmitt was quickly up to battle Jeff Nielsen for the lead. The
battle was short-lived as the driver from Independence pulled past Nielsen and
away from the other 12 drivers. Dolphin put up a great fight, but was not able
to catch Schmitt. The No. 18 of Schmitt is getting it done with his third
victory in just six nights of racing.
The USRA Casey’s General
Stores Weekly Racing Series continues next Friday, June 16, with Kids Night
presented by Mat's Place and Kunkel Plumbing & Heating. There will be a
drawing for both a boy's and girl's bicycle and also a candy toss. In
addition, Bitech Solutions presents the Brandon Brock Memorial. USRA
Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and Hornets will be
in action. Gates will open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at
7:30. Tickets are $9 for adults and $7 for juniors (13-18) and seniors.
Children 12 and under are admitted FREE each night.
The Pritchard Family Auto
Stores Hancock County Speedway is located 1.3 miles south of US 18 on James
St. (turns into Main Ave. and Diagonal and 1st), then 0.5 mile east on 220th
Ave., then 0.1 mile north on Jewell Ave. (ESR). For more information call the

DICKEY,
LUNDY SCORE FIRST WINS AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA,
Iowa (June 7) --
The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series continued Wednesday at the
Southern Iowa Speedway with three exciting classes in action. The night was
sponsored by Mike's Tire & Alignment of Ottumwa as drivers got in some
much-needed seat time in preparation for next week's 3rd annual Musco Lighting
Great American Stock Car Challenge. Two drivers visited victory lane for the
first time in 2006, while one driver repeated his feat from last week.
The first feature was the
Musco Lighting USRA Modified main event going 15 laps with Josh Truman of
Indianola and Brad Stephens of Bussey taking the green flag. Truman and Scott
Dickey of Packwood battled for the lead in turns 3-4 with Dickey taking the top
spot and leading all 15 laps for the win in the Larry Shaw Racing Chassis No. 40
machine. A good battle for second heated up between Todd Inman of Des Moines and
local racer Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon with the two drivers going
wheel-to-wheel for several laps with Pinkerton taking second followed by Inman
in third and Brandon Banks of Washington in fourth.
In the USRA Hobby Stock
feature, Mike Shelton of Ottumwa and Ryan Lundy of Knoxville led the full field
to the green flag. These two drivers, along with Bobby Greene of Eddyville and
Jared Sanders of New Sharon, battled for the lead with three- and sometimes
four-wide racing for the top two spots ,with Lundy holding off several
challenges to take the win. This was Lundy's first win at Oskaloosa in 2006
driving for Kevin Fee of Knoxville. Greene took the second spot with Al Bunnell
Jr. of New Sharon making his first appearance at the Mahaska County Half-Mile
Monster pay off with a third-place finish after starting 14th. Sanders and
Shelton battled for the fourth spot with both drivers being front-runners before
slipping back to take the fourth and fifth spot, respectively.
The final feature of the night
was the always-exciting USRA Stock Cars going 18 laps of door-to-door action
with Trent Vrchotchy of Columbus Junction and Nathan Wood of Sigourney setting
the pace on the start. Wood led the first lap with Eric Flander of Barnes City
battling for the lead before Wood's night ended with a top right front A-frame
problem. The caution flew on lap 4 for rookie driver Colt Mather making contact
with the turn 3 guard rail and suffering a flat right front tire. When the
action got back underway, Flander, along with Rick Brown of Kellogg, Brad
Pinkerton of New Sharon, T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa and Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa
, battled for the top three positions with Criss taking the lead on lap 13 and
leading the final five laps for the win -- his second straight -- after working
his way from the 10th starting spot. Flander took home a hard-fought second
place with Mitrisin in third and Brown in fourth.
Next week's racing action will
feature three exciting nights of action at the Southern Iowa Speedway with the
3rd Annual Musco Lighting Great American Stock Car Challenge on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, June 12-14. The prestigious event, which attracts America's most
talented Stock Car and Hobby Stock drivers in the business, will feature a
whopping $5,000 to win the USRA Stock Car finale on Wednesday. While the top
prize is huge, just making the 24-car main event field is worth more than the
reward for winning most other Stock Car special events as all main event
starters will earn a minimum of $1,000. For the companion USRA Hobby Stock
class, a $1,000 paycheck awaits the winner of Wednesday's finale while all
starters in the big dance will pocket at least $400. The Musco Lighting USRA
Modifieds will join the card on Wednesday night.
The Southern Iowa Speedway is
located 0.5 mile west of US 63 on SR 92, then 0.3 mile north on N. I St. (at the
Southern Iowa Fairgrounds). For more information call the track hotline at (641)
673-7004 or visit www.sispeedway.com online.

3RD
ANNUAL MUSCO LIGHTING GREAT AMERICAN STOCK CAR CHALLENGE STARTS MONDAY!
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 7) --
Fans and drivers alike are getting their game face on as the Southern Iowa
Speedway gears up for the 3rd annual Musco Lighting Great American Stock Car
Challenge this coming Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 12-14, at the
historic Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
The prestigious event, which
attracts America's most talented Stock Car and Hobby Stock drivers in the
business, will feature a whopping $5,000 to win the USRA Stock Car finale on
Wednesday. While the top prize is huge, just making the 24-car main event
field is worth more than the reward for winning most other Stock Car special
events as all main event starters will earn a minimum of $1,000.
For the companion USRA Hobby
Stock class, a $1,000 paycheck awaits the winner of Wednesday's finale while
all starters in the big dance will pocket at least $400.
"We put our money where our
mouth is," said event promoter Todd Staley. "While other big shows attract a
lot of drivers, they also collect a lot of entry fees and pit passes, but
you'd never know it by the dollar amount on the checks these drivers get at
the pay window. We believe in rewarding those that buckle in to these machines
and take the ultimate risk to give our fans the best show around.
"Great drivers love a great
challenge, and that's what they get at the Musco Lighting Great American Stock
Car Challenge. The USRA Stock Cars put on an incredible show each and every
night at each and every USRA-sanctioned track. This is where the best ones
come to find out who truly is the best of the best."
Presented by Mike’s Tire &
Alignment and Arnold Motor Supply, the 3rd Annual Musco Lighting Great
American Stock Car Challenge will kick off on Monday, June 12, with a full
program of qualifying heats and preliminary features in both the USRA Stock
Car and USRA Hobby Stock classes. All cars will draw on Monday and Tuesday
night and redraw for the feature that night. The top six cars from Monday will
run a dash on Tuesday night to decide the first six inside row starting spots
in Wednesday's finale. On Tuesday, the same procedures are in place with the
top six to the outside row in a dash to be run on Wednesday.
Wednesday night's program
will feature last chance races, with line-ups determined by points accumulated
during the first two nights. Tow money will be paid to all drivers racing all
three days that fail to qualify for the main events. Tow will be $100 for
Stock Cars and $75 for Hobby Stocks. There will also be a $100 award for the
longest tow.
During all three nights,
national points in both classes will be awarded for the USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series. However, a USRA license is not required to
compete in this annual blockbuster.
Pre-entries postmarked by
this Friday, June 9, are $75 for Hobby Stocks and $150 for Stock Cars. At the
track on race day, entry fees are $100 for Hobby Stocks and $200 for Stock Car
competitors. For complete rules, visit www.usraracing.com or call USRA
headquarters at (515) 832-6000.
Each day, gates open 5 p.m.
with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at 7:30.
On Monday and Tuesday,
admission is $12 for adults while Wednesday's tickets are $15. Juniors (13-18)
and Seniors (62+) are $8 all three days, while children 12 and under get in
for FREE all three nights. Pit passes are $25 each night. There are no

BAKKEN,
PETER, KUNKLE, HARE, JONES CAPTURE CRESCO CHECKERS
CRESCO,
Iowa (June 4) --
The USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series continued at the Cresco Speedway on Sunday with
exciting finishes, spectacular door-to-door action and a hearty crowd on hand to
witness it all.
The USRA Modified feature was
extremely fast as the top cushion was great, the middle was smooth and the
bottom was fast, providing great action throughout the pack. When the green flag
dropped to start the USRA Modified main event, Brad Bakken of Garner took off
and left everyone in his wake. Decorah's Dan Bohr started on the pole and gave
chase, but was no match for Bakken on this night. Kevin Pittman of Waterloo
finished third after starting 10th, Todd Ihde of Decorah was fourth and opening
night winner Darrin Walch of Postville finished fifth after starting in the 17th
spot.
Ron Konkel of Caledonia,
Minn., accepted the Bud Challenge and started 18th, but with just one caution to
slow the pace of the feature, could only muster an eighth-place finish -- the
final position not lapped by the blazing Bakken.
With a superb racing surface,
the racing action was great again Sunday night with both the USRA Stock Car and
Outlaw Hobby main events coming down to a last-lap last-corner pass for the win.
The Stock Cars alone continue
to provide a show worthy of the price of admission. Scott Bauer looked to have
things under control and on his way to his first win of the season until a
broken tie rod going into turn 1 on the last lap crippled the "Riceville Rocket"
as he hung on for a runner-up finish behind a fast Shawn Peter of Mabel, Minn.
Both drivers raced side by side for several laps with Peter high on the cushion
and Bauer fast on the low groove before Peter inched away for the win in the
final turn coming for the checkers.
Defending track champion Tom
Schmitt of Independence finished third after starting 10th on the grid, while
Tom Hovey of Decorah and Cresco's Shay Curtin rounded out the top-5 finishers.
The Outlaw Hobby feature was
equally competitive with the top-5 running together and battling two- and
three-wide for most of the race. Matt Jones and Dillon Anderson led the way,
with Jones getting the win. Josh Ludeking of Decorah, Patty Fosaaen of Waukon
and Ben Moudry of Protivin completed the first five across the finish line.
Brandon Hare of Elma came out
on top of a competitive USRA Hobby Stock main event, followed by Kyle Buxengard
of Spring Grove, Minn., Andy Kelly of Lanesboro, Minn., Nick Schwebach of
Caledonia, Minn. and Bernie Adams of Stacyville.
The growing class of USRA
B-Mods saw Brian Kunkle of Oelwein repeat his opening night feat as he beat Greg
Simmons of Clarion to the checkered flag. Junior Boyer of Calmar claimed third,
Elgin's Jeremy LaPlant finished fourth and Lorin Kurth of Waukon garnered a
fifth-place paycheck.
Next Sunday, June 11, the USRA
Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series continues at the Cresco Speedway
featuring USRA Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Mods, Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Hobbies.
Gates will open at 4 p.m., with hot laps at 6:15 and racing at 6:30. General
admission adult tickets are $9, Juniors (ages 13-18) & Seniors (62 and older)
are $7, with kids 12 and under admitted FREE each night.
The Cresco Speedway is located
0.2 miles north of SR 9 on SW 7th (at the Howard County Fairgrounds). For more

BAKKEN,
SCHMITT, WISE, SMIDT SCORE IN USRA ACTION AT BRITT
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT,
Iowa (June 2) --
Week five of the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series at Pritchard
Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway was nothing short of exciting on
McNeese Tire Night.
The USRA Hobby Stocks
started the feature races caution-free. Throughout the race, there was a
constant battle for the lead. It seemed as though Tony Smidt was oblivious to
the pressure from Randy Hadacek and Calvin Lange as he maintained his
aggressive driving to the finish line. Smidt gained his second victory of the
season, with Hadacek and Lange coming in second and third, respectively.
John “Mad Dog” Madson was
looking to have the same performance as Smidt in his USRA B-Modified feature.
From the pole position, Madson pulled into the lead until the second caution.
Jeramie Faber stalled in turn 1, allowing the field to catch up to the #22 of
Madson. On the restart, J.J. Wise and Logan Brown pulled in front of Madson.
The battle continued between the two drivers — both trying the high side and
the low side — until the lights in turns 3-4 failed. After about a 10-minute
delay, the race concluded with Wise in front. Brown was close behind for
second, despite a charge by last week’s feature winner, Jamie Anderson.
It was just another week on
McNeese Tire Night for the Junior and Senior Hornets. Colby Fett took
advantage of Trever Nelson’s flat tire to take the victory in the Junior
Hornet race. Brandon Ostwald continued the domination he showed in the Senior
Hornet heat race as the #21 of Ostwald pulled away and dominated the feature
as Matt Baker finished second.
In the feature race, the
USRA Modifieds gave the fans a battle to remember. After a caution-free first
half of the race, a three-way battle for the lead began. It was no surprise
that Brad Bakken was part of that battle along with Jeff Feaster and Ed Green.
Feaster put up a tough battle until the final two laps. Because of a problem
with his brakes, Feaster had to take the corners easy, therefore allowing the
aggressive Bakken to take the lead and the checkered.
In a finale that saw four
lead changes and one caution, the USRA Stock Car finish was hard to predict.
Gary Lalor Jr. pulled into the lead soon to be passed by the #21 of Travis
Hoeft. After a short stint in the lead, Hoeft was passed by Ryan Hiscocks.
Hiscocks led for much of the race and seemed to have it in his back pocket
until the yellow flag waved. On the restart, Hiscocks got a good jump and was
using the inside groove to preserve his lead. Tom Schmitt found his own groove
on the high side and, after a three-lap battle for the lead, pulled away from
Hiscocks to take the lead.
After the race, Hiscocks was
nothing short of pleased with his finish.
“After Monday night, I
applaud my crew on getting my car ready for tonight,” Hiscocks said.
“(Schmitt) is a great competitor. Only he could have made the high side work
tonight.”
The USRA Casey’s General
Stores Weekly Racing Series continues next Friday, June 9, with Pepsi Night at
the Races featuring USRA Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Modifieds and Hobby Stocks,
plus Hornets. Gates will open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at

BROWNING COLLECTS CAREER-FIRST USRA B-MODIFIED WIN AT THE PEPSI SCOTLAND
COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS, Mo. (June 3) --
Micheal Browning held on for his first career Advance Trading USRA
B-Modified feature win at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway during USRA
Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series action on MFA Elevator & Produce
and MFA Plant Foods night, while repeat winners visited victory lane in the
Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA Hobby Stocks, Outlaw
Hobbies and Hornets.
The first feature of the
evening was the 15-lap Outlaw Hobby Stocks, with Beau Taylor and Bob Lynch
on the front row. Taylor would take advantage of his front row start to grab
the lead on lap 1, with Lynch and Rodger Dresden battling close behind in
second. Taylor would go on to lead all 15 laps and held off Jeff Soper, who
started tenth, on the final lap to claim his second win of 2006 at Memphis.
Dresden held on for third, Brian Howerton was fourth, with Lynch holding on
for fifth. Taylor and Soper each won a heat race.
Rick Sands and Daniel
Robbins led the field to the drop of the green flag in the 12-lap USRA Hobby
Stock feature. But it was fifth place starter Mike Shelton quickly moving up
to take the lead on lap 1, with sixth place starter Nathan Wood following in
second. Shelton and Wood put on another hotly contested battle for the top
spot throughout the 12 lap event. Shelton was able to hold off Wood until he
slipped high in turn two on lap 9, allowing Wood to get by for the lead.
Wood then held off Shelton over the final three laps to pick up his fourth
win in a row at the speedway. Bill Gibson would finish in third, Robby Sands
was fourth, with Rick Sands rounding out the top five. The heat race win
also went to Wood.
The eight-lap Hornet
feature was up next, with Andrew Hustead and Brent Hartley drawing the front
row. Hartley jumped into the lead on lap 1, with Hustead close in second.
Hartley would go on to lead all 8 laps to claim his second win of 2006 at
the speedway. Hustead was second, J.D. Murphy was third, Cody Martin was
fourth, with Bill Young coming home in fifth. Hartley made it a clean sweep
by winning the heat.
Up next was the 18-lap
USRA Stock Car feature, with Ryan Cook and Eric Flander making up the front
row for the event. Flander made the most of his starting spot to grab the
lead on lap 1, with Cook and Colt Mather battling close behind for second.
Flander would only lead lap 1, as Mather slipped under him to take over the
top spot on lap 2. Mather continued to pace the field, as Zack VanderBeek,
who started seventh, and Jason Cook, who started tenth, were working there
way towards the front. VanderBeek would make his move into the lead on lap
9, as he over took Mather on the topside of the speedway. VanderBeek then
held the top spot until lap 11, when Jason Cook slipped under him to take
over the lead. Jason then held off VanderBeek over the final seven laps to
claim his second win in a row at Memphis. Mather held on for third, Flander
was fourth, with Ryan Cook rounding out the top five. Heat race winners were
Mather and VanderBeek.
Tom Bowen and Michael
Browning drew the front row for the 15-lap Advance Trading USRA B-Modified
feature, with Browning jumping into the lead on the drop of the green flag.
Browning would then hold off several challenges from Tony Dunker on the
final five laps to claim his first career B-Modified feature win. Jeff
Waterman came home third, Joe Hooper was fourth, with Larry Newman coming
home in fifth. Dunker and Waterman each picked up a heat race win.
The final feature of the
evening was the 20 lap Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds, with Kevin Cale and
Martin Bennett making up the front row. Cale moved out front on the drop of
the green flag, with Bennett close behind in second. Bennet would slip under
Cale on the second lap to take over the top spot and would pull away from
the field until a lap 16 caution. On the restart, Bennett once again grabbed
the lead, but now had Tony Fraise, who started sixth, battling him for the
top spot. Fraise would slip under Bennet on lap 18 and then held on for the
final two laps to pick up his fourth win of 2006 at Memphis. Mark Burgtorf
would come home in third, Cale held on for fourth, with Michael Long coming
from eleventh to round out the top five. Heat race winners were Zack
VanderBeek, Burgtorf and Long.
Tony Fraise pulled into
victory lane and then dedicated his win to Ed Sheckler. Ed has been battling
cancer and returned to the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway for the first time
in six weeks. Tony said, "This one is for Ed, and it is nice to see him back
at the speedway tonight."
Coming up next week will
be the return of the Keith's Foods Late Models, plus the battle for the USRA

JONES,
ELSTON, VANDERBEEK, PORTER, MATHER VISIT VICTORY LANE AT BLOOMFIELD
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (June 2)
-- A great night of racing action sponsored by Morgan's Pit Stop in Bloomfield
was held at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway Friday with five classes in
action. Four out of the five feature events saw new faces in victory lane for
the first time in 2006. The large crowd was thrilled with wheel-to-wheel
action in all feature events for the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series.
The first feature was the
Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stock feature with 15 laps of door-to-door action
with Mark Moore of Ottumwa taking the lead when the green flag dropped, but a
flat tire ended his run at the checkers and forced him to come from the rear
of the field. On the restart, Dustin Griffiths of Ottumwa assumed the lead
until lap 13 before Ben Jones of Williamsburg closed in for a shot at the win
after starting 12th. Griffiths slid high in turn 2 on the white flag lap and
allowed Jones to take the race lead and score his first win of 2006. The young
Griffiths took second, with Jim Walker of Mystic taking third after battling
his way from 11th. The fourth spot went to Jim Sulser of Centerville.
In the 20-lap Keith’s Foods
Late Model feature, Tommy Elston of Keokuk took the win, leading every lap and
take his third win in four races at Bloomfield and the Pepsi Scotland County
Speedway in Memphis, Mo. Crowd favorite Chris Smyser of Lancaster, Mo., took
the runner-up spot with Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Ill., taking third and
veteran racer Gary Webb of Blue Grass snaring the fourth spot. Burgtorf took
the win three weeks ago with Elston pocketed the winnings on the second
go-around at the new and improved Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway.
The third feature of the
night was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modified feature going 18 laps with
rising star Brandon Banks of Washington taking the race lead. Banks paced the
field through lap 4, but Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon closed the gap between
himself and Banks' machine. VanderBeek led the final 13 laps for his second
USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series points race after capturing
the win on Wednesday at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa. The second
spot went to Michael Long of Quincy, Ill., who worked his way around the top
side of the Speedway after starting 13th. Banks took third with Mt. Ayr driver
Dennis Elliott grabbing fourth.
The fourth feature was the
Kollision Korner Hornets going eight laps with Dale Porter of Floris taking
his second win at the 3/8-mile Davis County Fairgrounds clay oval, holding off
some stellar competitors. Larry Hopkins of Ottumwa took second with Gene Irwin
of Bloomfield taking third and Matt Moore of Ottumwa in fourth with his best
finish.
In the Hougland's Repair
Shop USRA Stock Car feature, USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series
national points leader Matt Greiner of Washington took the lead and looked to
have his first win at Bloomfield, but it slipped away from him with Colt
Mather of Webster taking the lead on lap 12 of the 18-lap event. The second
spot went to Zack VanderBeek, who battled his way from eighth to second, with
Jason Cook of Mt. Pleasant in third and Greiner slipping back to fourth. This
was Mather's first win at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway, and third win
in his rookie season driving USRA Stock Cars.
Next Friday, the Mid America
305 Winged Sprints return, along with action in the USRA Casey’s General
Stores Weekly Racing Series featuring Spilman Auto Parts Modifieds, Hougland's
Repair Shop Stock Cars, Kirkland Auto Hobby Stocks and Kollision Korner

WOOD
KEEPS WIN STREAK ALIVE WITH EIGHTH STRAIGHT USRA HOBBY STOCK WIN
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (May 31) --
Racing action at the Southern Iowa Speedway was held with Wild, Wild Wednesday
racing action sponsored by Pro-Line Buildings of New Sharon, Iowa. The fans
were treated to some giveaways along with the weekly and national points
racing of the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series in action,
along with the inaugural Faster Pastor race being held with local church
leaders trying there luck at the always-fast Mahaska County Half-Mile
Monster.
The night kicked off with
the mighty Musco Lighting USRA Modified feature event going 18 laps of open
wheel excitement. Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon took the early race lead with
Steve Stewart of Washington and Terry Walker battling for the second spot.
Pinkerton's machine spun in turn 1, but Pinkerton was able to do a full 360 to
keep his Modified going, but later retired to the pit area with mechanical
troubles. Stewart took over the top spot and led until the 17th lap before
Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon made the pass in turns 1-2 on the last lap for
the top spot and the checkers. Stewart settled for the second spot with Walker
in third and last week's feature winner, Brandon Banks of Washington, in
fourth.
In the second feature of the
evening, it was the USRA Hobby Stock event set for 15 laps of exciting
door-to-door action with Ottumwa driver Mike Shelton taking the early race
lead. Shelton paced the field for the first five laps before Mark Moore of
Ottumwa and Nathan Wood of Sigourney battled for the lead with Wood making the
pass in turn 2. Wood held off a tough field of USRA Hobby Stocks after working
his way from 10th starting spot. This was Wood's eighth feature win in a row
at three different race tracks, and 11th win in 2006 for the USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series national points leader. Jared Sanders of
New Sharon worked his way up to second after starting in the 12th starting
spot with Moore in third and Shelton in fourth. After the feature, Tyler Ford
of Lovilia claimed the motor of Wood, which Wood agreed to sell.
The third feature of the
night was the always-exciting USRA Stock Car division running 18 laps on the
Osky oval. When the green flag dropped, Brad Pinkerton took the race lead and
looked to have his No. 17p machine headed to victory lane, but mechanical
problems again ended his run, sending him to the trailer on lap 7. Josh Newell
of Oskaloosa took the race lead and led laps 8 and 9, but T.J. Criss of
Oskaloosa closed in to set up a battle for the lead. Newell and Criss thrilled
the crowd with several lead changes, with Criss coming out on top for his
first win of 2006. Newell took second, followed by Matt Greiner of Washington
in third and Eric Flander of Barnes City, who was a front-runner in the early
part of the race.
In the fourth and final
feature it was the first-ever Faster Pastor race (or Preacher Feature) with
seven local church leaders trying their luck around the dirt track for the
first time. When the green flag dropped, Dave Grandon from the Point of Grace
Church in Ottumwa took the lead with Oskaloosa's Rich Doering of First Church
of the Nazarene running second. Grandon led until the fourth lap of the
six-lap event before losing the lead to Doering. Doering led the final two
laps for the win and made history.

Stores Weekly Racing Series continues with another heart-stopping Wild, Wild

BENNETT, COOK, POOR, BURDETTE TAKE FIRST WINS OF SEASON AT
PEPSI SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS, Mo. (May 27) -- Four new winners graced the Pepsi Scotland County
Speedway victory lane on Scotland County Lanes/Memphis Democrat Night. Mike
Bennett (Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds), Jason Cook (USRA Stock Cars), Jerry
Poor (Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds) and Dave Burdette (Hornets) took home
their first wins of 2006, while Nathan Wood (USRA Hobby Stocks) and Jeff Soper
(Outlaw Hobbies) were repeat winners.
The first feature of the evening was the 15-lap USRA Stock Cars, with Mark Holt
and Ryan Cook drawing the front row for the event. Ryan took advantage of his
front row start to grab the lead on lap 1, with Jason Cook and Matt Greiner
following close behind in second and third. R. Cook would hold the top spot
until lap 4, when Greiner went to his outside to take over the top spot. Greiner
was able to hold the lead through lap 11, as Jason Cook slipped under him to
take over top spot. The 2005 track champion, then pulled away on the final four
laps to pick up his first win of 2006 at Memphis. Greiner would finish in
second, Troy Alexander was third, Holt held on for fourth, with Steve
Steinkuhler coming from tenth to round out the top five. Jason Cook also won the
heat race.
Jason VanZomeren and Robby Sands led the field to the drop of the green flag in
the 12-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature, but it was third place starter Steve Allen
taking the lead on lap one. Allen would hold the lead for one lap, as Mike
Shelton slipped by to take over the top spot. But Shelton couldn't hold the lead
for more then a lap, as Nathan Wood got under him on lap 3 to take over the top
spot. Wood and Shelton would put on another hotly contested battle for the top
spot. But Wood would hold off a last lap challenge from Shelton to claim his
seventh win in a row at the three USRA tacks he competes at. Sands held on for
third, VanZomeren came home in fourth, with Bill Gibson coming home in fifth.
Heat race winner was Shelton.
Up next was the 15-lap Advance Trading USRA B-Modifieds, with Brandon Savage and
Jeremy Baker making up the front row for the event. On the drop of the green
flag, fifth place starter Jim Gillenwater shot to the front to grab the lead on
lap 1. While Gillenwater paced the field, Jerry Poor, who started ninth, and Joe
Hooper, who started fourteenth, were working there way towards the front.
Gillenwater would hold the top spot through lap 7, when Poor slipped by for the
lead. Poor then pulled away from the field to claim his first win of 2006 at the
speedway. Gillenwater held on for second, with Hooper coming home in third,
Michael Browning was fourth, with Jeff Waterman rounding out the top five.
Savage and Gillenwater each picked up a heat race win.
The 15-lap Outlaw Hobby feature provided the fans with three and four wide
racing once again. Michael St. Clair and Adam Birck drew the front row for the
feature, with St. Clair grabbing the top spot on the drop of the green flag. St.
Clair would hold the lead through lap 3, when Jeff Soper slipped under him to
take over the top spot. Soper would then have to hold off several challenges
from Beau Taylor and Rodger Dresden, who started tenth, on the final 12 laps.
But Soper was able to defend off all challenges to claim his second win of the
season at Memphis. Taylor came home in second, Dresden was third, Bob Lynch came
from eleventh to finish in fourth, with the hard charger of the evening going to
Brian Clark, as he came from twenty-first to round out the top five. Heat race
winners were Taylor, Brad Weber and Dresden.
Cody Martin and Brent Hartley led the field to the green in the 8-lap Hornet
feature, but third place starter Dave Burdette would grab the lead on lap 1.
Burdette would pull away from the field and led all 8 laps to pick up his first
win of 2006 at Memphis. Hartley was second, Andrew Hustead was third, J.D.
Murphy was fourth, with Martin holding on for fifth. Burdette also won the heat
race.
The final feature of the evening was the 20-lap Bentz GM Country USRA Modifieds,
with Bob Dale and Ryan Meyer drawing the front row for the event. On the drop of
the green flag, fourth place starter Mike Bennett would jump out into the lead.
Mike would pull away from the field, as Mark Burgtorf, who started ninth,
Michael Long, who started seventh, and Tony Fraise, who started tenth, were all
working their way up to make a challenge for the lead. Bennett had built up a
good lead, when a caution came out with two laps to go to erase his lead. This
would set up a green-white-checkered battle for the win, with Burgtorf, Long and
Fraise now glued to Bennett's back bumper. On the restart, Bennett once again
grabbed the lead and then held on for the final two laps to claim his first win
of the season at Memphis. Burgtorf came home in second, Long was third, Fraise
was fourth, with Meyer holding on for fifth. Heat race winners were Fraise and
Bennett.

BURGTORF, RACHELS, DUNKER, WOOD, IRWIN IN BLOOMFIELD WINNERS
CIRCLE
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (May 26) -- It was a beautiful night for racing Friday at
the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway, with events sponsored by Taylor
Automotive, Lee Construction and IA-MO Grain with five classes in action. The
crowd was treated to some good old-fashioned wheel-to-wheel action with three-
and sometimes four-wide racing on the fast 3/8-mile clay oval at the Davis
County Fairgrounds.
In the USRA B-Modified feature, Tony Dunker of Quincy, Ill., took his second
straight win of the 2006 season at Bloomfield, holding off Joe Hooper, who tried
several times to close in for the top spot. Chris Leathers took third with Amos
Zimmerman of Memphis, Mo., in fourth.
The Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Car feature went 18 laps with Pat Rachels
topping the always-tough class and beating 24 very good cars to the line for his
first win of 2006. The runner-up spot went to rookie driver Colt Mather of
Webster, who raced his way from seventh to second. The third spot went to
14th-starting Jason Cook of Mt. Pleasant and Mike Harward took fourth after
starting in the 19th spot.
In the Kollision Korner Hornet division, Tom Irwin took the checkers for his
third win of 2006 as he battled with David Probasco of Moulton and Larry Hopkins
of Ottumwa. The second spot went to last week's winner, Dale Porter of Floris,
who raced his way into second with Hopkins taking third and Probasco in fourth.
It was the 15-lap Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stock feature rolling onto the
speedway with Ray Lasser Jr. taking the early race lead and leading until lap 7
before cutting a right-rear tire and ending his chance for a win. Jason McDaniel
of Eldon looked to have the race in hand, but the caution flag flew for Lance
Meyer of Ottumwa spinning in turn 1. This set up a four-lap shootout with
McDaniel, Nathan Wood of Sigourney and last year's champ, Ben Jones of
Williamsburg, for a three-car battle for the victory. Wood snagged the lead
going into turn 1 on the restart and took his second straight win at Bloomfield,
and sixth straight win at three different tracks. McDaniel took second with Mike
Shelton of Ottumwa taking third and Rocky Fosdyck of Selma in fourth after
starting in the 11th spot.
The final feature of the night was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds going
20 laps with the caution flag flying on the start for Ken Bryant of Ottumwa
making contact with the outside wall coming off of turn 2. Mark Burgtorf of
Quincy, Ill., topped the 21-car field, leading all 20 laps for his second USRA
Modified triumph of the season. The second spot went to Tony Fraise of
Donnellson, with Jared Durbin of Fort Madison in third and Michael Long also
from Quincy, Ill., in fourth. This was Burgtorf's third visit to victory lane,
as he also captured a Keith's Foods Late Model win here two weeks ago.
Next Friday, Morgan Oil Company presents the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly
Racing Series plus Keith's Foods Late Models featuring five fast & furious
classes, including Spilman Auto Parts Modifieds, Hougland's Repair Shop Stock
Cars, B-Mods, Kirkland Auto Hobby Stocks and Kollision Korner Hornets, plus the
fan-favorite Keith's Foods Late Models.

older) admitted for $8. Kids 12 and under get in FREE. Pit passes are $20. Gates

BANKS BAGS FIRST VICTORY AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (May 24) -- Another Wild, Wild Wednesday night of USRA
Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series action was held at the Southern Iowa
Speedway with Arnold Motor Supply of Oskaloosa sponsoring Kids Night at the
Races. Young race fans got an opportunity to snag some candy, along with a money
grab on the front stretch while four lucky fans won $10 each.
One driver got to visit victory lane for the first time in his career, while two
other drivers graved the winners circle for their second and third times in
2006.
The Musco Lighting USRA Modified feature went 18 laps as three different drivers
held the lead, with two drivers having mechanical problems and ending their run
for the checkers. Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon looked to have the race under
control before a rear-end problem ended his run. Terry Walker of Riverside broke
a left-front tie rod on the last lap, causing him to finish second. But
second-generation driver Brandon Banks of Washington was in the right spot at
the right time, crossing the stripe for his first-ever feature win. Banks was
all smiles in victory lane and picked up a nice trophy to remember the special
night. Walker took second with Brad Stephens of Bussey and Steve Stewart of
Washington battling for the third spot for the final four laps, with Stephens
taking third and Stewart in fourth.
In the USRA Hobby Stock feature, Jared Sanders of New Sharon and Dave
Breuklander of Oskaloosa led the field to the green for the 15-lap event.
Sanders took the early race lead with Chase Mitrisin of Oskaloosa running second
and Breuklander in third. Sanders built a three-car-length lead, but Nathan Wood
of Sigourney raced his way from 10th to battle for the lead. Wood took the lead
on lap 7 and held off several attempts from Joe Ferguson of Tracy for his fifth
straight win in USRA-sanctioned competition. Other wins have also come at the
Mountain Dew Bloomfield (Iowa) Speedway and the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway
in Memphis, Mo., to go along with his third triumph at Oskaloosa. The second
spot went to Ferguson, with Sanders in third and Shannon Sherwood of Oskaloosa
working his way from 15th on the grid to a fourth-place finish.
The final feature of the night was the 20-lap USRA Stock Car feature with rookie
driver Colt Mather of Webster leading every lap for his second win of 2006 at
the Southern Iowa Speedway. Mather held off the always-tough #17p machine of
Pinkerton, who took second. The third position went to Brian Mitrisin of
Oskaloosa, who started in the eighth spot, and Matt Greiner of Washington took
fourth after working his way from the tail after getting together with another
car on lap 5.
The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series continues with another
heart-stopping Wild, Wild Wednesday Night program on tap for next Wednesday, May

MONDUS MASTERS CRESCO FOR CAREER-FIRST MODIFIED WIN
CRESCO, Iowa (May 21) -- The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series continued with a strong field and some thrilling finishes Sunday at the
Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa.
In Outlaw Hobby action, Decorah's Dillon Anderson took the feature win, followed
by a trio of Waukon drivers: Matt Jones, Kevin Leiran and Austin Curtin. Ben
Moudry of Protivin rounded out the top five finishers. Heat race wins went to
Jason Borsheim of Mabel, Minn., and Leiran.
The USRA Hobby Stock main event saw Chris Hovden inherit the lead when the lead
car of Mitch Hovden and the second-place runner were caught up in a crash with
lapped traffic while racing to the white flag. Chris Hovden scored the
first-place paycheck, with Brandon Hare of Elma in second, Bill Meyer of Sumner
third, David Lickteig of Cresco fourth and Decorah's Katie Larson fifth. Heat
race checkers waved for Lickteig and Hare.
In their inaugural season at Cresco, the USRA B-Modified division continues to
grow. A new winner emerged this week as Jeremy LaPlant of Elgin scored the
feature win ahead of runner-up Brian Schrage of Cresco. Third went to Junior
Boyer of Calmar, while Postville's Jimmy Broszeit finished fourth and Raymond
Lundry of Maynard completed the top five across the finish line. Heat wins were
taken by two-time winner Brian Kunkle of Oelwein and Boyer.
Brian Gjere of Mabel, Minn., fended off the challenges by Tom Schmitt of
Independence to score the USRA Stock Car main event victory. Jason Schlangen of
Cresco grabbed the third spot, while Tory Reicks of Waucoma and Kevin Bidne of
Decorah rounded out the top five. Bidne and Gjere also recorded heat race wins
earlier in the evening.
A tough bunch of USRA Modifieds rolled onto the track for the Sunday nightcap
with Shawn Ryan of Waterloo on the pole and Alan Mondus of Lakeville, Minn., to
his outside. At the drop of the green flag, Mondus put his machine on the
cushion and, despite several caution flags, led the main event wire to wire for
his career-first USRA Modified triumph. Opening night winner Darrin Walch of
Postville took home the runner-up prize, with Waterloo's Kevin Pittman finishing
third. Fourth went to Dan Bohr of Decorah. Joey Schaefer of Waterloo, who won
two weeks ago, completed the top five. Decorah's Todd Ihde and Keith Pittman

BAAKEN, BROWN, MOYER, WOOD TAKE SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
CHECKERS
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (May 17) -- The fifth night of the 2006 season was a
thriller at the Southern Iowa Speedway. With warmer temps but breezy conditions,
it was a great night for racing and more comfortable for the fans to enjoy the
action from the stands. With four classes on the card, Wild Wednesday Night
excitement featuring the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series was
all over fast half-mile Oskaloosa, Iowa, speedway.
The 20-lap Musco Lighting USRA Modified feature saw Bruce Hanford of Davenport
taking the early race lead until Brad Baaken of Garner took the point coming off
of turn 2 on lap 6. From there, Baaken powered his Unicover/Bud Light Skyrocket
No. 50 to his first victory lane celebration at the Southern Iowa Speedway. The
second spot went to Mark Elliott of Webster City, who worked his way past
Hanford on lap 15. Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon had trouble in turn 2 to bring
out the caution flag on lap 10, but worked his way from the tail to take third
while Hanford earned a hard-fought fourth after battling with Brandon Banks of
Washington.
In the 15-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature, Jared Sanders of New Sharon took the
early race lead and led through lap 11 before USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series national points leader Nathan Wood of Sigourney made the pass on
the inside of turns 3-4, took the lead and led the final four laps for the win.
Mike Shelton of Ottumwa and Sanders went wheel-to-wheel for the second spot over
the final three laps with Shelton taking second followed by Sanders in third and
Joe Ferguson of Tracy working his way from seventh to the fourth spot.
This was Wood's second straight win in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series after taking a win Saturday night at the Pepsi Scotland County
Speedway in Memphis, Mo., prior to repeating Wednesday night in Oskaloosa.
The 12-lap Cookies BBQ Sauce/Iowa Diamond Dirt Trucks feature saw Matt Waugh of
Des Moines and Carl Moyer of Ankeny battle for the race lead with seven

BURGTORF TAKES TWO AT MOUNTAIN DEW BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (May 12) -- The fifth Fast Track Friday Night of the
2006 racing season was held with cloudy skies and cool temps, but the racing
action was as hot as ever. The night was sponsored by Cantril Feed & Grain and
Harris Distributing, with six classes of cars in action including the
long-awaited return of the Keith's Foods Late Models to the fast 3/8-mile
Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway.
The first feature of the evening was the Kollision Korner Hornets in action with
Tom Irwin of Bloomfield taking the checkers for the second straight week. Irwin
held off David Probasco of Moulton, who raced his way from the 10th spot to take
second, with Andrew Hustead of Rutledge, Mo., taking third and Bloomfield driver
Gene Irwin in fourth.
In the 15-lap feature for the Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stocks, the action was
red-flagged for Oskaloosa driver Steve Allen taking a nasty ride, flipping five
times on the front stretch and coming to rest on his side in turn 1. Allen was
able to get out under his own power, was checked out by the Davis County
Ambulance crew and released, but his #3s machine suffered heavy damage. On the
restart, Nathan Wood of Sigourney and Ray Lasser Jr. of Ottumwa led the field to
the green with Wood taking the lead until lap 5 before Jim Walker of Mystic took
the lead and never looked back, driving to victory lane for the first time in
2006. Wood took the second spot with Lasser in third and Jim Sulser of
Centerville battled his way to fourth after being involved in a 10-car accident
on lap 8.
In the USRA B-Modified feature, Chris Leathers topped a stellar field, finding
the fast way around the Speedway by working the high side of the smooth track.
Leathers took the race lead on lap 7 of the 15-lap event, coming from the fourth
starting spot. Jeff Waterman and Tony Dunker battled for the second spot with
Waterman in second and Dunker in third. Joe Hooper of Mendon, Ill., took fourth
in the largest field for the new class in 2006 with 10 cars checked in for
action.
The fourth feature of the night was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modified feature
going 20 laps with Jeremy Townsend of Bloomfield and Steven Blattler of
Oskaloosa leading the field to the green flag. Blattler and Townsend battled for
the lead before Blattler's night came to a end with a flat tire. Townsend took
the lead until Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Ill., grabbed the lead by working the
high side of the track, and took home the victory. Townsend garnered the second
spot with Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon in third after starting 11th and Casey
Lancaster of Glenwood, Mo., taking the fourth spot.
One of the toughest features of the night was the Hougland's Repair Shop USRA
Stock Car feature event going 18 laps with 19 cars in action. Matt Greiner of
Washington and T.J. Bainbridge of Eldon battled for the early race lead with the
two drivers swapping the lead for the first four laps before Jim Lynch of
Bloomfield found the high side of the Speedway along with Howard Gordon Jr. of
Oskaloosa running the low side, which made for some three- and four-wide racing
action. All four drivers, along with Jason Cook of Mt. Pleasant -- the winner of
the last two main events at Bloomfield -- worked his magic from 10th to join the
battle for the first, second and third positions. Lynch took the checkers with
Cook in second ahead of his younger brother, Ryan Cook, in third and Matt
Greiner in fourth.
The final feature of the night was the long-awaited return of the big-bodied
cars of the Keith's Foods Late Model division. This was the first of four
appearances at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway for the Late Models and they
put on a thrilling show. Early race leader Andy Eckrich of Iowa City looked to
have things wrapped up, but on lap 10 of the 20-lap event, Eckrich's machine
made contact with the lapped car of Jeff Gerhardt of Nioda, Ill., causing heavy
damage to both cars and ending the night for both drivers. Thad Trump of Kahoka,
Mo., restarted as the leader, and the battle for the the win was on. Trump had
to deal with Jody Wood of Donnellson and Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Ill., -- all
of whom wanted the $1,000 payday and the win. The three drivers battled for the
win with Burgtorf taking the lead by working the high side of the Speedway with
Wood taking second, followed by Justin Reed of Quincy, Ill., and Trump slipping
back to fourth. This was a very exciting race for the first appearance of the
Keith's Foods Late Models and look forward to their next appearance on Friday,
June 2.
Next week's line-up will see the Mid America 305 Winged Sprints return for round
2 of the 2006 campaign, plus a full program of the USRA Casey's General Stores
Weekly Racing Series featuring the Spilman Auto Parts Modifieds, Hougland's
Repair Shop Stock Cars, B-Mods, Kirkland Auto Hobby Stocks and Kollision Korner
Hornets.
Admission is $10 for adults, with juniors (ages 13-18) and seniors (62 and
older) admitted for $8. Kids 12 and under get in FREE. Pit passes are $20. Gates
open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at 7:30. Call (515) 832-6000
for event information or call (641) 664-2500 for race day information.

CRESCO, Iowa (May 7) -- The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series
continued at the Cresco Speedway Sunday night, May 7, with two repeat winners
and three new faces making their way into victory lane.
In the USRA Hobby Stock main event, Mitch Hovden of Decorah raced from the
eighth starting position to take his second straight win at the 4/10-mile
semi-banked clay oval. Cresco's Chris Hovden took the runner-up spot, followed
by Brandon Hare of Elma, Nick Schwebach of Caledonia, Minn., and Bill Meyer of
Sumner.
Outlaw Hobby action saw outside front row starter Patty Fosaaen of Waukon take
the checkers ahead of Protivin's Ben Moudry. Matt Jones of Waukon, Dillon

Oelwein's Brian Kunkle capturing his second victory in as many weeks. Jimmy
Broszeit of Postville grabbed second, with Chris Fretheim of Decorah in third,
Junior Boyer of Calmar fourth and Arlington's Chad Lerch fifth.
After capturing the opening night win on April 23, defending USRA Stock Car

VANDERBEEK, COOK, WOOD, PROBASCO TAKE CHECKERS ON GOLDEN
FURROW/SLAYTON POLARIS NIGHT AT MOUNTAIN DEW BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (April 28) -- The third night of Fast Track Fridays and the
USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series was held with Golden Furrow
Fertilizer and Slayton Polaris sponsoring the night's races. Several race fans
and drivers who thought it was going to rain thought wrong. The RL Promotions
team went to work and ran a smooth quick show, beating the rain and getting
everybody home before 10 p.m.
The first feature of the night was the Kollision Korner Hornet division with
David Probasco taking his second feature of the 2006 season, with Kevin Garrett
of Bloomfield taking the second spot and Dale Porter of Floris in third. The
battle for the fourth spot was between the husband and wife team of Jim and
Kristina Garrett of Ottumwa with Kristina taking the fourth position.
In the second feature of the evening, the Hougland's Repair Shop USRA Stock Cars
took the green with Tyler McClure of Floris and Matt Greiner of Washington
battling for the race lead. Greiner's night came to an end with mechanical
problems and ending his run to the checkers.
This set up a battle between Jason Cook of Mt. Pleasant and McClure, with the
two drivers going wheel to wheel for the final nine laps, exchanging the lead
seven different times. In the end, Cook came out on top while younger brother
Ryan Cook of West Point closed in on the race lead but settled for a third-place
finish behind McClure with Chris Hawkins of Drakesville taking the fourth spot
after starting eighth and T.J. Bainbridge of Eldon in fifth after battling his
way from the tail after spinning early in the main event.
The third feature of the night was the always-competitive Kirkland Auto USRA
Hobby Stock division with a full field of 24 cars taking the green for 15 laps.
Rusty Sands of Unionville, Mo., took the early race lead with Jim Tull of
Redding battling for the lead. Tulls' night, however, ended with a flat right
rear tire.
Sands led until lap five before Ottumwa driver Dustin Griffiths closed in for
the race lead. On lap six, Griffiths made the pass coming off of turn 2 but
caution flew, giving the lead back to Sands. On the restart, Sands led the field
into turn 1 with Sands, Griffiths and Ben Jones of Williamsburg all battling for
the lead.
On lap 10, Griffiths got crossed up in turns 1-2 with Sands making contact that
sent Sands spinning and Griffiths' car receiving left front suspension damage.
Sands' night came to an end on the hook of the tow truck while Griffiths
restarted at the tail of the field.
On the restart, Nathan Wood of Sigourney set the pace with Jones and Mark Moore
of Ottumwa battling for the race lead, but Wood held off several challenges and
took the win. Moore and Jones battled for the second spot with Moore taking
second, Jones third and Steve Allen of Oskaloosa taking fourth after starting
12th.
In the fourth and final feature of the evening the 20-lap Spilman Auto Parts
USRA Modified feature rolled onto the speedway with Michael Long of Quincy,
Ill., and Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon leading the field to the green flag. Long
took the race lead with Pinkerton in chase but Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon
closed the gap for the top spot.
This setup a wild three-car battle for the lead between Long, Pinkerton and
VanderBeek. VanderBeek took the lead from Long on lap 10 with Long running a
close second. From there, VanderBeek held off challenges from Long to take his
first win at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway after taking a runner-up
finish last week. Long took the runner-up spot in his first-ever appearance at
the Davis County Fairgrounds. Pinkerton took the third spot with another
first-time appearance by Ted Allen of Canton, Mo., scoring the fourth position.
Next week's racing action will feature the debut appearance of the cars and
stars of the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series as
Community First Bank presents the Iowa-Missouri Border War. A large field of
cars is expected, including current points leader Mark Noble of Blooming
Prairie, Minn., and seven-time defending O'Reilly USMTS champ Kelly Shryock of
Fertile. Jon Tesch of Watertown, S.D., comes into Friday night's action ranked
second in the points standings, with Shryock in third and Ryan Ruter of Forest
City in fourth. Local racers will be in action to defend their home turf against
the touring regulars.
Also in action will be the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series
featuring Hougland's Repair Shop Stock Cars, B-Mods, Kirkland Auto Hobby Stocks
and Kollision Korner Hornets.
Admission is $15 for adults, with kids (ages 6-12) $5 and children 5 and under
admitted FREE. Pit passes are $25. Gates open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 7:15
and racing at 7:30. Call (515) 832-6000 for event information or call (641)

CRESCO SPEEDWAY SEASON OPENER KICKS OFF WITH WALCH, SCHMITT, KUNKLE,
ANDERSON, HOVDEN WINNING
CRESCO, Iowa (April 23) -- The 2006 USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series season opened at the Cresco (Iowa) Speedway this past Sunday and a
good crowd witnessed some great racing action with a couple new drivers making
their first appearance to victory lane, and a couple drivers that visited the
winners circle on a couple of occasions last season.
Two new classes were brought into the Cresco Speedway this season with the USRA
Hobby Stock class and the USRA B-Mods. These are two very popular classes that
are expected to grow throughout the season. The Hobby Stock class from 2005 has
been changed to the Outlaw Hobbies and fans will still be treated to some great
USRA Stock Car and USRA Modified battles in 2006.
The racing action kicked off with a great racetrack to start the season and fans
were treated to some three- and even four-wide racing throughout the evening.
The USRA Hobby Stocks kicked off the racing action and Chris Hovden led drivers
through the first lap before Mitch Hovden took the top spot on lap 2. Brandon
Hare worked his way up to second and tangled with Hovden, sending both drivers
to the rear of the field after the caution. Hovden worked his way back through
the field and regained the lead back on lap 10 of the 12-lap feature en route to
the victory. Hare battled his way back to the runner-up spot. Rounding out the
top five were Chris Hovden, Bernie Adams and David Lickteig.
The USRA B-Mods were next to the track for their feature race. Jimmy Broszeit
grabbed the lead on lap 1 with Junior Boyer and battling side by side for the
lead during the next five laps. Boyer snagged the top spot on lap 2 and held
onto the spot until lap 10 when Brian Kunkle garnered the lead coming out of
turn 4. From there, Kunkle pulled away for the win with a great battle going on
for second between Boyer, Broszeit and Shane Panos. Boyd Halverson round out the
top 5.
The local Outlaw Hobby class were next up on the Cresco clay. Dillon Anderson
used his front row starting spot to his advantage and led all 12 laps en route
to the win. Anderson, however, had to earn his win as hard-charging Josh
Ludeking and Ben Moudry battled each lap for the top spot. Ludeking and Moudry
diced for the final 10 laps. As Moudry would pull to the inside, Ludeking would
throw the block on. Finally on lap 10, the two drivers got together, ending
Moudry’s evening and sending Ludeking to the back of the field. On the restart,
Anderson remained out front with Patty Fosaaen moving into the second spot.
Fosaaen took a look to the inside of Anderson on the final circuit, but had to
settle with a second-place finish. Rounding out the top five were Ludeking,
Austin Curtin and Carissa Wagner.
The class that continually puts on some of the best racing took to the track
next for the first USRA Stock Car main event of the 2006 season. Scott Bauer,
who will be a regular fixture at Cresco in 2006, captured the win in his heat,
as did defending track champion Tom Schmitt. In the main event, Schmitt showed
he is ready to defend his crown as he used just four laps from his fifth-place
start on the grid to get to the front and cruise on to the victory. The racing
behind Schmitt, however, was very exciting as drivers battled three wide on
several occasions. Brian Gjere took the runner-up spot from Shay Curtin on lap 8
and held that position until the final lap when Bauer snagged the spot at the
line. Gjere finished third, with Tory Reicks and Jason Schlangen running side by
side for fourth and fifth, respectively.
Budweiser will once again sponsor the Bud Back Row Challenge. This will give
drivers the chance to start at the tail for an extra $500. This will go up $100
each time a driver take the challenge.
Darrin Walch was about as impressive as a driver has looked at the Cresco
Speedway in the USRA Modified class. In the heat race, Walch used a late caution
to take the win away from Kevin Pittman, while Michael Darnall picked up the
first heat race. Walch started the feature from the outside of the front row and
led all 20 laps en route to the win. A late caution bunched the field up and
Pittman, who started fifth, thought that might be the break he needed. Walch
would have none of that on this night though, and cruised to a five-car-length
victory. Pittman finished second, with Alan Mondus, Todd Hansen and Darnall
rounding out the top 5.
Gates will open at 4 p.m., with hot laps at 6:15 and racing at 6:30 for all Fast
Family Fun Sunday events at the Cresco Speedway. General admission adult tickets
are $9, Juniors (13-18) & Seniors (62+) are $7, with kids 12 and under admitted
FREE each night.
The Cresco Speedway is located 0.2 miles north of SR 9 on SW 7th (at the Howard
County Fairgrounds). For more information call the track hotline at (563)

ELSTON, FRAISE, VANDERBEEK AMONG OPENING NIGHT WINNERS AT PEPSI
SCOTLAND COUNTY SPEEDWAY
By Brian Neal
MEMPHIS, Mo. (April 22) -- The Pepsi Scotland County Speedway finally got
the 2006 season started Saturday after Mother Nature rained out the first five
scheduled nights of racing. Taking home feature wins on the evening were Tommy
Elston (Keith's Foods Late Models), Tony Fraise (Bentz GM Country USRA
Modifieds), Zack VanderBeek (USRA Stock Cars), Tony Dunker (Toni Dunker Farm
Marketing USRA B-Modifieds), Nathan Wood (USRA Hobby Stocks), Jeff Soper (Outlaw
Hobby Stocks) and Brent Hartley (Hornets).
Before the night started, the drivers took there helmets through the crowd to
take a collection for the family of Bleu Taylor. Taylor was taken by a heart
attack during practice day at the Speedway on April 8. He left behind a wife and
a 10-month-old baby, along with another one on the way. The crowd at Memphis was
very generous as over $1,500 was collected for his family.
The Bentz GM Country USRA Modified feature was the first of the evening. Charles
Baker and Zack VanderBeek led the field to the drop of the green flag in the
20-lap event, and VanderBeek took advantage of his front row start to jump out
into the lead on lap 1. VanderBeek built a sizable lead until a caution on lap
9. On the restart, Tony Fraise -- the 2005 track champion who started 10th --
slipped under VanderBeek coming out of turn 2 to grab the top spot. Fraise then
held off VanderBeek over the final 10 laps to claim his first win of 2006 at
Memphis. Michael Long came home in third, while fourth went to Kevin Peters,
with Ryan Meyer rounding out the top 5. Fraise and Meyer picked up the heat race
wins.
Nathan Wood took home the checkers in the new 9:1-compression-powered USRA Hobby
Stock class at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway. Bill Gibson and Wood led the
field to the start of the 12-lap feature, with Wood grabbing the top spot on lap
1. Wood led all 12 laps to pick up the feature win. Jason McDaniel came home
second, Mike Shelton was third, Gibson fourth and Daniel Robbins came home
fifth. Heat race winners were McDaniel and Wood.
Up next was the 18-lap USRA Stock Car feature. Chris Wibbell and 2005 track
champion Jason Cook started on the front row for the event, with Cook moving out
front on lap 1. Cook, Colt Mather and Zack VanderBeek, who started seventh,
battled three-wide for the top spot throughout the first half of the feature.
VanderBeek grabbed the advantage on lap 9 using the bottom of the speedway, then
held on for his first win of 2006 at the track. Cook held on for second, Mather
was third and Matt Greiner was fourth, with Bobby Greiner Jr. completing the top
5. Mather and VanderBeek claimed wins in the heat races.
Jeff Waterman and Brandon Symmonds took the Toni Dunker Farm Marketing USRA
B-Modifieds to the drop of the green in their 18-lap feature. Waterman moved
into the lead on lap 1 with Jim Gillenwater, who started seventh, moving quickly
up to second. Gillenwater slipped underneath Waterman on lap 2 to take over the
top spot. Gillenwater continued to lead as Tony Dunker, who started ninth, and
Jack Evans Jr., who came from 17th, moved up to put pressure on him. Dunker took
advantage of a restart on lap 14 to grab the lead away from Gillenwater, then
held off Evans Jr. over the final four laps to claim his first win of 2006 at
Memphis. Joe Hooper came home third and Jerry Poor was fourth, with Gillenwater
coming from the rear after a lap-14 spin to take home fifth. Heat race wins went
to Gillenwater and Hooper.
Brent Hartley and Andrew Hustead led the field of Hornets to the drop of the
green in their five-lap feature. Hartley took advantage of his start to jump
into the lead on lap 1 and then held on for his first career feature win at the
Speedway. Hustead was second, Cody Martin was third and Bill Young came home in
fourth. Hartley also picked up the heat race win.
The Outlaw Hobby Stocks had to be the best feature on the evening, as the lead
was exchanged six times within the first 14 laps. Adam Birck and Jeff Soper
started the 18-lap feature on the front row, with Birck grabbing the lead at the
drop of the green. Jeff Soper, who was working the bottom of the speedway,
slipped under Birck, who was working the top side, on lap 5 to take the lead.
But Birck came back on the next lap to take the top spot back, that would only
last until the next lap. As Soper slipped back by Birck to take the lead back,
he and Birck ran side by side for the next six laps before Birck took a slight
advantage on lap 13. But Soper wouldn't give up, as he slipped under Birck on
the next lap to take the top spot again. Soper then held on for the final four
laps to pick up his first win of 2006. Brian Clark came home in second, Josh
Soper was third, Birck held on for fourth and Jim Lynch rounded out the top 5.
Josh Soper, Dresden and Jeff Soper each picked up heat race wins.
The final feature of the night was the 18-lap Keith's Foods Late Model main
evnet. Chris Smyser and Dick Weber took the field to the drop of the green flag,
with Smyser jumping out front on lap 1. Smyser looked to be heading for his
first win of 2006 at Memphis until a late caution on lap 14. Tommy Elston took
advantage of the restart as he jumped to the outside of Smyser to take the top
spot. Elston then held off Smyser on the final three laps to claim the victory.
Thad Trump finished in third, Jeff Gerhardt was fourth and Todd Johnson
completed the top 5. The heat race win went to Smyser.

FRAISE, ROBINSON, WATERMAN, FOSDYCK TAKE USRA CHECKERS AT
BLOOMFIELD; BREAZEALE TOPS 305 SPRINTS, HOPKINS IN HORNETS
By Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (April 21) -- Fast Track Fridays racing action at the
Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway was held Friday night with six exciting classes
in action for night 2 of the 2006 season, featuring the USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series in action with drivers accumulating local and
national points.
Four out of the six classes had a new face in victory lane with two drivers
picking up back-to-back feature wins. Mike Robinson of Moravia took the win in
the Hougland Repair Shop USRA Stock Car division while Jeff Waterman of Quincy,
Ill., took his second straight (and second ever) feature win in the USRA
B-Modified class.
The Hougland Repair Shop USRA Stock Car feature was a thriller as always with
Chris Hawkins of Drakesville and Matt Greiner of Washington leading the field to
the green. Hawkins and Greiner battled for the lead with Greiner taking the lead
and pacing the field until lap 12 of the 18-lap event before Robinson closed in
for the top spot.
Phil McClure of Floris also mixed it up, making it three-wide racing for the
lead, but Robinson powered out to the front to take the win. Greiner garnered
the second spot with McClure in third and Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon in
fourth.
In the Kollision Korner Hornet division, Larry Hopkins topped the field to score
his first win of 2006 after starting in the ninth starting spot. Hopkins took
the lead on lap 4 and never looked back.
Tom Irwin of Bloomfield took the initial race lead but settled for second after
Hopkins took the lead. Dale Porter of Floris took third in the Kollision Korner-sponsored
No. 31 machine with female racer Kristina Garrett of Ottumwa taking fourth after
starting 12th.
The USRA B-Modifieds took the green with Tony Dunker of Quincy, Ill., taking the
early race lead with Waterman and Chris Leathers of Macon, Mo., battling for the
second spot. Waterman took second with his sights set on Dunker for the top
spot. The two battled for the lead with Waterman taking the lead with four laps
to go and grabbing his second career feature win and second straight at the
Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway.
Dunker took second with Leathers in third and Jeff Eddy of Milan, Mo., taking
fourth.
The fourth feature of the night was the Kirkland Auto USRA Hobby Stocks in
action for 15 laps of competition, with Steve Allen of Oskaloosa taking the
early race lead, Mark Moore in second and Rocky Fosdyck of Selma and Nathan Wood
of Sigourney battling for the third spot.
The three- and four-wide racing made for some exciting action. Fosdyck made his
move to the front on lap 4 and never looked back, holding off challenges by
Allen and Ben Jones of Williamsburg, who battled from the 12th starting spot and
took the race lead on lap 10, before Fosdyck regained the lead while Jones'
night ended with a cut right rear tire.
Fosdyck took his first win of the season with Allen in second followed by Wood
in third and Jimmy Hayes of Moravia in fourth.
The fifth feature of the night was the Spilman Auto Parts USRA Modifieds taking
to the fast 3/8-mile speedplant with a stellar field of cars checked in for
action.
Veteran driver Jerry Pilcher of Bloomfield and Casey Lancaster of Glenwood, Mo.,
paced the field to the green with Pilcher taking the early race. Zack VanderBeek
of New Sharon and Tony Fraise of Donnellson closed in, making for three-wide
racing for the top spot, with Jim Lynch of Bloomfield running fourth.
All four drivers put on a show with Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Ill., starting 15th
and working his way forward.
Fraise took the lead and started working lap traffic with VanderBeek in tow. The
two drivers worked lapped traffic with VanderBeek taking the lead momentarily,
but Fraise used the traffic to his advantage, splitting two cars and taking the
lead and never looking back.
Fraise took the checkers with VanderBeek in second while Burgtorf and Lynch
battled for third with Burgtorf taking the spot.
The first appearance of the Mid America 305 Winged Sprints took the green with
Ottumwa driver Brian Ridge taking the early race lead and pacing the field
through lap 9. Ridge's machine would get crossed up, however, spinning in turn
2.
Steve Breazeale of Trenton, Mo., inherited the race lead and led the final 11
laps for his first win of 2006.
Louis Lynch of Glenwood, Mo., took home the second spot in the always-colorful
No. 71 sprint car, with Russell driver Kevin Tanner back in his sprint car after
taking a nasty crash in 2005. Tanner took the third spot with Marty Stephenson
of Mitchelville in fourth.
The race was red-flagged on lap 7 when Mike Mayberry of Fremont spun in turn 2,
while Logan Trueblood of Memphis, Mo., had no place to go and got upside down in
turn 2.
The Haine Auto Supply Hard Charger was 14-year-old driver Josh Padeliford of
Pleasantville, who finished seventh after starting 11th. The Lancaster Oil
Company Hard Luck Award went to Matt Stephenson of Des Moines who got upside
down in hot laps to end his night. The First Choice Reality of Ottumwa Mystery
Spot went to Ridge, who finished in the sixth spot. The Long Distance Award went
to John Hillman of Jefferson City, Mo.
The Mid America 305 Winged Sprints will return for their second appearance at
the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway on Friday night, May 19.

RUTER, DOLPHIN, LUNDY, WISE TAKE SEASON-OPENING USRA WINS AT
PRITCHARD FAMILY AUTO STORES HANCOCK COUNTRY SPEEDWAY
By Emily Hiscocks
BRITT, Iowa (April 21) -- The Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock
Country Speedway was fast -- really fast -- on Friday night and pole position
seemed to be the golden spot for the season opener for the USRA Casey's General
Stores Weekly Racing Series.
In three out of six features, the winners started and stayed in first.
After flip-flop finishes in both the Senior Hornets (Charles Gardner) and Junior
Hornets (Colby Fett), the USRA Hobby Stocks got the battles started. Chad Lundy
and Chris Monson jockeyed for position until Monson took the lead in turn 2.
This was short-lived, however, as he was slowed by a flat tire in turn 4. Lundy
took this opportunity to get the lead back. Michael Schadendorf tried one final
pass on the high side on the final straightaway but came up just short of Lundy
and the victory. Lundy celebrated his victory with a burn-out in front of the
grandstands and a celebratory jig on the top of his car.
After dominating victories in their heat races, Jeff Dolphin and Ryan Hiscocks
were looking for the season-opening victory in the USRA Stock Cars. Pole
position for Dolphin proved to be all he needed to separate himself from the
pack. Hiscocks battled John Campbell nearly the entire race for the third
position, coming up just short and getting passed in the end.
“With this competition and the track the way it was tonight, I’m happy with my
finish,” Hiscocks commented. “Dolphin ran really well tonight.”
In the biggest class of the night, the 16-car USRA B-Modified feature gave the
fans something to "oooh and ahhh" about. Two blown motors, one spin-out
collision and one car driving off the track took credit for seven cars failing
to finish the race. J.J. Wise, however, sailed to victory avoiding any such
collision or challenge.
In the USRA Modified nightcap, Ryan Ruter quickly moved through the pack,
passing Alan Mondus for the lead. Mark Elliot was right behind him, battling for
the top spot for nearly 10 laps until his No. 12 Modified suffered right-front
suspension damage. That was all the crowd favorite Ruter needed to get to the
finish line first.
Be sure to catch next week’s races at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock
Country Speedway. Gates will open at 5 p.m., with hot laps at 7:15 and racing at
7:30. Tickets are $9 for adults and $7 for kids ages 6-12. Children 5 and under
are admitted FREE each night.
The Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County Speedway is located 1.3 miles
south of US 18 on James St. (turns into Main Ave. and Diagonal and 1st), then
0.5 mile east on 220th Ave., then 0.1 mile north on Jewell Ave. (ESR). For more
information call the track hotline at (641) 843-4513.

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (April 19) -- Another exhilarating Wild Wednesday at the
Southern Iowa Speedway saw two new winners in the Musco Lighting USRA Modified
and USRA Hobby Stock classes, while another driver doubled-up in the USRA Stock
Car class as Round 2 of the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series

Marshalltown grabbed fifth.
Pinkerton, meanwhile, repeated his USRA Stock Car feature win from a week ago by
racing from the 10th starting position on the grid. For the second week in a
row, Pinkerton held off last year's track champion, T.J. Criss of Oskaloosa, at
the checkers. Bobby Greiner Jr. of Ottumwa, Josh Newell of Oskaloosa and Eric
Flander of Barnes City completed the top-5 finishers in the 18-lap main event.
The 15-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature race saw Bobby Greene of Eddyville take the
win with Todd Reitzler of Grinnell snaring the runner-up finish. Third went to
Travis Sherwood of Ottumwa, fourth was Rick Landgrebe of Sigourney and
Sigourney's Nathan Wood rounded out the top-5 at the finish line.

MOUNTAIN DEW BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY BEGINS NEW ERA THIS FRIDAY
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (April 11) -- A new fan-friendly era of racing in southern
Iowa begins this Friday night as a new promotional team begins its tenure as
operator of the popular 3/8-mile clay oval at the Davis County Fairgrounds in
Bloomfield, Iowa.
On October 19 of last year, the Davis County Fairboard awarded the promotions
contract at the Bloomfield Speedway to RL Promotions, LLC, and the husband and
wife team of Todd and Janet Staley from Webster City. A few weeks later, RL
Promotions officials announced Mountain Dew as the new title sponsor of the
track.
"With new lighting last season, new fencing work this year and several
promotional projects coming to life, we are thrilled to finally be opening the
doors for the 2006 season," said Todd Staley, who also oversees organizations
that promote the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) and the United
States Racing Association (USRA), in addition to four other tracks under the
management of RL Promotions. "The response from fans, drivers and sponsors has
been tremendous, and we can't wait to drop that first green flag this Friday."
After making a huge improvement in 2005 with new lighting for the 3/8-mile clay
oval speedplant with the latest technology from MUSCO Lighting, officials have
now working to improve the safety fencing around the speedway. With the addition
of heavy wall pipe and fencing, the new fence has been added from turns 1 and 2,
and extended down the backstretch to the pit gate opening in turn 3. Fencing has
also been installed through turns 3 and 4 to complete the project. The new
reinforced fence will help protect the spectators.
With the expected large car counts for the 2006 racing season, this will also
allow for more pit area parking on the backstretch.
The first Fast Track Friday of the 2006 racing season kicks off this Friday,
April 14, at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway with a full slate of action
scheduled at the facility. Racing in five classes of cars is on tap with
Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Modifieds and Hobby Stocks competing in the USRA
Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series. The entry level Hornet division
will also join the weekly Fast Track Friday lineup.
For competitors, the 2006 racing season will be the most financially lucrative
in the history of the facility. The track points champion in the Modified class
will earn $1,000 at season's end, with $700 earmarked for the Stock Car champ,
and $500 each for the B-Mod and Hobby Stock titleists.
In addition to track championship awards, drivers will also be competing for
national points funds through the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing
Series. The national champion in the Modified class will earn $10,000. Stock Car
drivers are chasing a $3,000 payday while a $2,000 top prize awaits the B-Mod
and Hobby Stock national champions.
Fast Track Friday main event payouts for each class during the 2006 racing
season are as follows:
Modifieds - $500 to win, $75 to start
Stock Cars - $300 to win, $50 to start
B-Modifieds - $300 to win, $35 to start
Hobby Stocks - $200 to win, $35 to start
Hornets - $100 to win, $20 to start

Track Friday events at the Mountain Dew Bloomfield Speedway. General admission

MATHER, WOOD TAKE USRA CHECKERS AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (April 8) -- The 2006 racing season kicked-off at the
Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, on a Saturday night for the 3rd
Annual O'Reilly Auto Parts Spring Classic with three classes in action.
The USRA Stock Cars and USRA Hobby Stocks, along with the O'Reilly USMTS
Modifieds, were in action with Stock car and Hobby Stock drivers competing for
national points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series.
The first feature of the night was the USRA Hobby Stock feature rolling onto the
speedway for 12 laps of action with Green City, Mo., driver Matt Snyder taking
the race lead and pacing the field until the final lap before crashing into the
outside wall just off of turn 4 coming down for the checkers. Snyder's car
darted hard right looking like something broke on the right front suspension,
ending his run to the checkers.
Nathan Wood, who was running second, crossed the line for the win with Jimmy
Hayes of Moravia taking second along with Jared Sanders of New Sharon taking
third and Jason McDaniel of Eldon in fourth.
In the USRA Stock Car feature, Bobby Greiner Jr. of Ottumwa took the early race
lead with rookie driver Colt Mather of Webster running second. Greiner led the
first seven laps of the 16-lap feature before hooking a rut and losing a left
rear tire.
Mather, who captured the 2005 USRA Hobby Stock track championship, assumed the
lead and paced the final nine laps to pick up his first feature win in the USRA
Stock Car division after moving into the class.
Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon took home the second spot with Matt Greiner of
Washington in third and Agency driver Shane Weller taking fourth.

MEMPHIS SPRING NATIONALS CANCELED
MEMPHIS, Mo. (March 21) -- Mother Nature is back to her old tricks.
More than four inches of snow fell at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway on
Monday, forcing track officials to cancel the inaugural Memphis Spring
Nationals, scheduled for this weekend at the Memphis, Mo., speedplant.
"We were really looking forward to this race, but it just won't be possible
now," said event promoter Todd Staley. "The storm that rolled through this week
has left the racetrack grounds a real mess, and crews will simply not have the
time to get the track prepared like it needs to be for an event like this."
Weather permitting, next weekend (Saturday, April 1) will be the first race of
the 2006 season as the O'Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series
invades the 3/8-mile clay oval. Many of the nation's top Pro Modified pilots
will be on hand as the O'Reilly USMTS will also visit the Mountain Dew
Bloomfield Speedway in Bloomfield, Iowa, on Friday, March 31, making for a
tremendous weekend doubleheader.

SPEEDNET DIRECT NAMED OFFICIAL SCORING SOFTWARE OF USRA
CRYSTAL RIVER, Fla. (Feb. 24) –- The United States Racing Association (USRA)
has joined the list of over 100 tracks and series that will be using the
SpeedNet Direct Race Management software for tracking and managing their 2006
season points championships.
SpeedNet Direct Race Management software will be used to compute point totals
for individual track and national points in the USRA Casey’s General Stores
Weekly Racing Series.
USRA president Todd Staley was excited about this new development.
“Using the SpeedNet software will ensure absolute accuracy and save our scorers
a considerable amount of time in tabulating and posting the points standings to
our website,” Staley said.
Communications Director Jeff Nun added that the USRA is proud to be associated
with a company that is equally dedicated to the track promoters as SpeedNet
Direct, announcing SpeedNet Direct as the “Official Scoring Software of the
USRA.”
Six years ago, SpeedNet Direct began development on a software product that
promoters could use to track points, prize money and driver attendance. Since
then, they have set the industry on its ear by distributing the software free of
charge with numerous tracks and series getting in on the action.
When asked why they would invest so much time and money into something just to
give it away for free, SpeedNet Direct president Kevin Spiddle explained “What
SpeedNet Direct gets in return is valuable web content: up-to-the-minute race
results, point standings and event schedules straight from the race officials.”
They display that content on their website (www.speednetdirect.com)
which attracts thousands of visitors each month.
“The advertising generated from the website essentially pays for the software so
scorers don’t have to,” he added.
Because not everyone does things exactly the same in short-track racing,
SpeedNet Direct offers reasonably priced customization services and a variety of
add-on modules to enhance the basic software such as custom line-ups, network
versions, multiple track versions and a nifty bar code reader to speed up driver
registration in the pits. Other options include transponder interfaces for AMB
and Westhold, photo eye interfaces for TSI and RaceAmerica timers and
sanction-specific reports and line-ups for NASCAR’s Weekly Racing Series,
WISSOTA, UMP and the O’Reilly USMTS.
Spiddle is available to answer your questions about SpeedNet Direct by calling
866-2SPEED4. Their website can be found at
www.speednetdirect.com.

help them find, manage and keep racing sponsors, as well as offering a line-up
of racing apparel.
As a contingency sponsor of USRA, RaceQuest will offer product certificates
toward the purchase of either of RaceQuest’s popular sponsorship help books,
including RaceQuest Marketing Manager or the newly-released Turn-Key
Racing Sponsorship Programs.
Awards will be distributed to USRA teams at the end of the season based on final
point standings. USRA-sanctioned Hobby Stock and B-Modified division national
champions will each receive a “Racer’s Edge Package” valued at $500 each, which
includes both RaceQuest books, a sponsorship consultation and custom proposal.
Drivers finishing second- through 10th-place in the final year-end standings in
all USRA-sanctioned divisions will receive an award worth $10 toward the
purchase of a RaceQuest Marketing Manager or Turn-Key Racing
Sponsorship Programs book, or $20 toward either eBook.
RaceQuest Marketing Manager is a highly-effective sponsorship “How To”
instructional guide that helps racers with every step of the sponsorship process
-- from who to talk to and how to talk to sponsors, to “The Big Idea” that will
provide their team with the marketing edge. Turn-Key Racing Sponsorship provides
25 different sponsorship programs, each specific to an industry. Each program is
backed by industry research, marketing insight, a sponsorship proposal concept
and tips for how to sell each sponsorship concept to prospective sponsors.
“What makes Turk-Key Racing Sponsorship Programs so useful is that we
have done the heavy lifting for race teams,” stated RaceQuest principal and
author Bill Catania. “We selected 25 common industries that sponsor cars, and
provided a full-blown strategy for how to excite them about sponsoring a race
car.”
Since its release in January 2005, the RaceQuest Marketing Manager book
has helped scores of drivers and tracks across the United States with their
sponsorship program development, with very tangible results! USRA drivers that
accumulate multiple certificates can redeem them for any of RaceQuest’s
services, including sponsorship proposal development, proposal templates and
proposal review services. Certificates will also have a value toward racing
apparel.
“It was with the local and regional competitors in mind that I wrote both of my
books, so a partnership with the USRA is only fitting,” added Catania.
For a limited time, RaceQuest is providing all USRA drivers that purchase the
RaceQuest Marketing Manager book with a FREE sponsorship proposal template,
complete with USRA demographics, images and a variety of car templates,
including Stock Cars, Modifieds and Late Models.
Registered drivers can take advantage of this special offer online by visiting
http://www.racequest.com/usra.html or by calling RaceQuest direct at
814-244-1539. Drivers will also be emailed a special promotion code to receive
their free template.
“Offering real-life examples and cutting-edge marketing advice, racers will
benefit from Bill’s experiences in motorsports,” said USMTS Communications
Director Jeff Nun. “Bill races his own Late Model on a weekly basis, so drivers
are getting real-life experience they can relate to.”

BLOOMFIELD SPEEDWAY MAKING MORE IMPROVEMENTS FOR 2006 AND BEYOND
by Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa (Feb. 1) -- The Davis County Fairboard once again has
taken on another project to help improve the Bloomfield Speedway racing facility
for the upcoming 2006 season.
After making a huge improvement in 2005 with new lighting for the 3/8-mile clay
oval speedplant with the latest technology from Musco Lighting, officials are
now working to improve the safety fencing around the speedway.
With the addition of heavy wall pipe and fencing, the new fence will be added
from turns 1 and 2, and will be extended down the backstretch to the pit gate
opening in turn 3. Fencing will also be installed through turns 3 and 4 to
complete the project.
The new reinforced fence will help protect the spectators. With the expected
large car counts for the 2006 racing season, this will also allow for more pit
area parking on the backstretch.
This year looks to be a very exciting season with the signing of RL Promotions
to manage the facility, and signing with the United States Racing Association
(USRA) to sanction weekly racing at Bloomfield.
The 2006 season will kick off with the first-ever appearance of the O'Reilly
Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) on Friday night, March
31. Several special events are scheduled for 2006, along with Fast Track Fridays
and the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series action in 2006.

PRITCHARD FAMILY AUTO STORES CONTINUES AS TITLE SPONSOR OF HANCOCK
COUNTY SPEEDWAY
BRITT, Iowa (Jan. 19, 2006) -- Renewing their support of the drivers and
fans of the Hancock County Speedway, Pritchard Family Auto Stores has signed on
for a second season as the title sponsor of the popular 3/8-mile clay oval in
Britt, Iowa, officials from RL Promotions announced today.
"We are proud to announce that Pritchard Family Auto Stores will once again be
the title sponsor of HCS," said track operator Todd Staley. "Their support of
this great racetrack was instrumental in helping us get through our second
season at Britt, and we are thrilled to have them back along for the ride again
in 2006 as we continue to move forward in rebuilding Iowa's Action Track."
Since 1929, the Pritchard family has been serving North Central Iowa and South
Central Minnesota with their automobile needs. Whether you are looking to
purchase a new or used car, or just needing to have your vehicle serviced,
Pritchard Family Auto Stores have that Midwestern philosophy of hard work for a
fair price which has brought generations of people back for nearly 80 years.
The Pritchard family's ability to be in business and serve the people of North
Iowa and beyond for all these years is a credit to their qualified and loyal
employees.
In 1994 Chrysler of Forest City was added to the Pritchard family business, Lake
Mills Motor Company and Fred Hoiberg's Clarion Auto Center were opened in 2004
and now Clear Lake this year. Now with the six dealerships covering North Iowa,
the Pritchard family businesses offer new Ford, Mercury, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep,
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Cadillac and GMC vehicles, plus over 200 pre-owned vehicles.
This is a far cry from the humble beginnings in 1913 and proof that Pritchard
Family Auto Stores enjoy the challenge to stay a step ahead of the competition.
On Wednesday, January 18, a new three-year deal was signed that will see RL
Promotions continue to handle the racing operations through the 2008 season.
"We have several things that will be happening this year," said Staley. "Some of
the special events will include powder puff races, King of the Hill events for
all classes, teacher features and different promotions with schools, mechanics
and more.
"In addition to all this, the Hancock County Fairboard is really getting behind
the track and will be putting up brand new Qualite Lighting."
Officials are also working to hire a dedicated manager for the racetrack, Staley
added.
Special events planned for the 2006 season include an IRA Outlaw Sprint Car
Series race during the Hancock County Fair in June, the annual Stock Car
Shootout and two O'Reilly USMTS events.
As part of the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series, a lucrative
season-ending points fund has been established for all classes. Modified, Stock
Car, B-Mod and Hobby Stock drivers will also be eligible to compete for national
points fund awards from the USRA and American Race Tires.
The 2006 season opener at the Pritchard Family Auto Stores Hancock County
Speedway will feature the O"Reilly USMTS Pro Modifieds on Friday, April 7, for
the 2nd Annual Iowa Spring Challenge.

John Hansen from Brush, Colo. was the 2005
champion of the BST Modified Series
BST MODIFIED SERIES TO COMPETE UNDER USRA BANNER IN 2006
BROOMFIELD, Colo. (Jan. 19) -- Officials from the United States Racing
Association announced today that the Blood, Sweat & Tears Modified Series will
compete under the USRA banner during their sophomore season in 2006.
Under the direction of series promoter and founder Joe Bellm, the BST Modified
Series experienced a successful inaugural season in 2005. The BST Modified
Series was created to gather the best dirt modified racers in the eastern plains
of the Rocky Mountains for head-to-head competition while boosting exposure for
the track owners and promoters and maintaining a safe, cost-effective division
for the drivers.
The BST Modified Series management and drivers in attendance at the recent
awards party voted overwhelmingly to sanction with the USRA for the 2006 season.
“We have been watching the USRA and we believe the direction they are headed is
the same direction we envisioned when the BST Modified Series was founded,” said
BST Communications Director Chris Martinez. “We like their approach to PR and
feel our strengths will compliment theirs and vise-versa.”
As part of the USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series, BST Modified
Series drivers will compete for a $1,000 top prize from the USRA and American
Race Tires for winning the BST Modified Series championship. In addition, all
BST Modified Series competitors will be eligible to earn points toward the USRA
Casey's General Stores Championship Series national title which is worth $10,000
to the national champ.
“We are thrilled to be working with Joe Bellm and the great drivers that run
with the BST Modified Series,” said USRA President Todd Staley. “They turned a
lot of heads in their first season last year, and our association with them is a
win-win-win situation for our organizations, our drivers, our sponsors and our
fans.”
Nine of last year's final top-10 drivers have announced that they will return to
the BST Modified Series in 2006, including defending champion John Hansen of
Brush, Colo. Other returning regulars include Will Brack, Danny Concelman, Joe
Bellm, Bill Brack, Don Shepherd, Adam Hilton, Mike Shaw and Joe Mullins.
Several other first-year competitors have also expressed their intent to run the
entire series, including Matt Brack, Jeremy Franier, D.J. Banks and Kevin
Massey.
“I appreciate Todd Staley's willingness to take some risks in his vision of
modified racing,” said Bellm. “We share an ideal that we both appreciate, and
after discussing the sanction with USRA with our traveling teams we are
convinced that this will be a powerful co-existence in the world of dirt
modifieds.
“I am also excited about the chance to prove to regional tracks in our area that
sanctioning with the USRA is a win-win situation.”
The 2005 season saw a total of 138 different drivers take the green flag with
the BST Modified Series over 20 events at 13 different venues.
The tentative 2006 schedule for the BST Modified Series is highlighted by 23
events at 17 different racetracks in four States. The season is scheduled to
kick off at the Sherman County Speedway in Goodland, Kan., on Friday, May 5. The
2006 grind will culminate on Saturday, Sept. 30, at the Phillips County Speedway
in Holyoke, Colo.

USRA BANNER TO FLY AT BOLIVAR, LEBANON, MONETT IN 2006
BOLIVAR, Mo. (Dec. 17) -- Officials from the United States Racing
Association (USRA) announced today that three of Missouri's premier dirt track
facilities will be sanctioning weekly racing with the USRA in 2006.
Bolivar Speedway USA, Lebanon I-44 Speedway and Monett Speedway will run the
popular USRA Modifieds on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, respectively,
during the 2006 season. The three-track combination will provide a powerful
opportunity for Show-Me State racers to challenge for the $10,000 top prize in
the USRA Weekly Racing Series national championship for the Modified division.
"We are truly honored to have these three great tracks join the USRA family,"
said USRA president Todd Staley. "The drivers in that region are
super-competitive and talented, and the promoters at those facilities know how
to put on a show for the fans. This is a great milestone for the USRA."
In addition to competing for the $10,000-to-win USRA Weekly Racing Series
National Championship, Modified drivers at each track will be competing for a
lucrative track points fund that will pay $1,000 to the USRA Modified season
points champion at each track.
Randy Mooneyham will be at the helm as promoter of the Lebanon I-44 Speedway and
Monett Speedway in 2006. Mooneyham, who has also been the promoter at Bolivar
Speedway USA over the past four years, is turning over the reigns at the
lightning-fast 3/8-mile high-banked oval to Kevin Greven and Randy Bowman.
"It's just too hard trying to prepare three tracks and do it right," Mooneyham
said. "Look for some exciting new things to happen with that place (Bolivar).
Kevin really has some racing connections and will make it an even better place
than it is now."
Bolivar Speedway USA races every Friday night. In addition to the USRA
Modifieds, the weekly racing card will also feature Super Stocks, Factory
Stocks, Legends Cars, Bombers, Rookies and UMP-sanctioned Late Models.
"We are very excited anytime that we can bring a top level show such as the
USMTS or the USRA to Bolivar Speedway USA," said co-promoter Randy Bowman. "The
opportunity to take this one step further and sanction Bolivar Speedway USA will
allow our weekly drivers in Southwest Missouri (Bolivar, Lebanon and Monett) to
be showcased among the best modified drivers in the country on a weekly basis
and also allow them to run for point money that would not be possible any other
way.
"Todd and all of the people at USRA and USMTS have grown that series to be one
of the top in the country and that is exactly what we want to accomplish at
Bolivar Speedway USA ... to be one of the best dirt tracks in the country."
The same weekly class of cars will also compete at Mooneyham's facilities, with
racing on Saturday nights at Lebanon and Sunday nights at Monett.
Bolivar Speedway USA is located 3 miles south of Bolivar on SR 13 to CR U, then
west to Frontage Rd., then 0.3 mile south, then 0.5 mile west. For more
information, call (417) 326-3966 or visit Bolivar Speedway USA online at

Lebanon I-44 Speedway is located 6 miles northeast of Lebanon on I-44 to exit

UPPER IOWA SPEEDWAY SANCTIONS STOCK CARS, B-MODS WITH USRA
DECORAH, Iowa (Dec. 13) -- Officials from the Upper Iowa Speedway in
Decorah, Iowa, have announced that they will sanction their Stock Car and
B-Modified classes with the United States Racing Association (USRA) for the 2006
racing season.
"It makes sense for us," said Chuck Ihde, who co-promotes the Winneshiek County
Fairgrounds facility with his brother, Todd. "The points fund with USRA will
actually save us money, but earn more for the drivers. When you add in the
national points fund, it should grow our car draw.
"We were just a little different on rules, and this should get us on the same
page as other tracks in the area so our guys won't have to make many changes to
run with us. This is really a big boost for our drivers."
USRA Stock Car competitors will be racing for $700 to win the track championship
and $3,000 to win the national title. Racers in the B-Modified division at the
Upper Iowa Speedway will battle for a $500-to-win track championship and a
$2,000 top prize in the B-Mod national championship.
With regular racing on Saturday nights, the USRA Weekly Racing Series will kick
off at the quarter-mile semi-banked clay oval on April 22 and end on September
2.
The Upper Iowa Speedway is located 1.8 miles east of U.S. Hwy. 52 on Hwy. 9,
then 1.0 mile northwest on Montgomery St., then northeast on E. Main St. (at the
Winneshiek County Fairgrounds). For more information, call (563) 379-1979, or

NATIONAL CROWN
WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (Dec. 4, 2005) -- Veteran racer Ron Luitjens of Brewster,
Minn., made history in 2005 as he has been named the first national champion of

Luitjens, who competed weekly at the Murray County Speedway in Slayton, Minn.,
and Nobles County Speedway in Worthington, Minn., scored nine USRA Modified main
event wins en route to becoming the inaugural USRA Casey's General Stores

The USRA Casey's General Stores Championship Series factored in each USRA-licensed
driver's best 30 finishes, and encompassed drivers from all four USRA-sanctioned
classes.
In his best 30 starts, Luitjens recorded an impressive 25 top-5 finishes and 30
top-10 finishes as he led a near-sweep of the final top-10 positions by Gopher
State competitors. Luitjens nipped USRA Hobby Stock driver Justin Luienburg of
Reading, Minn., who notched seven wins, 24 top-5's and 30 top-10's on the
season. Luienburg also competed at the Murray County Speedway and Nobles County
Speedway during the 2005 calendar.
Luitjens' advantage over Luienburg in the final points standings was 2750 to
2685.
USRA Modified driver Brad Waits of Zumbrota, Minn., who competed at the Deer
Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., and the Dodge County Speedway in Kasson,
Minn., finished third in the final tally with 2675 points. USRA Hobby Stock
driver David Ross of Reading, Minn., finished fourth with 2654 points, followed
by Aaron Betz of Avoca, Minn. (5th place, Modified, 2539), Karl Fenske of
Winona, Minn. (6th place, Modified, 2515), Neil Eckhart of Rochester, Minn. (7th
place, Modified, 2451), Bob Timm of Rolling Stone, Minn. (8th place, Modified,
2332), Jay Ihrke of Dover, Minn. (9th place, Modified, 2285) and Zack VanderBeek
of New Sharon, Iowa (10th place, Modified, 2272).
USRA Modified drivers filled eight of the top-10 spots while two USRA Hobby
Stock drivers grabbed the other two positions. The highest-finishing USRA Stock
Car driver was Matt Greiner (who finished 11th) while Jake Simpson was the top
points-earner among the USRA B-Modified drivers.
In 2006, USRA officials have announced a lucrative national points fund and will
crown a national champion in each USRA-sanctioned class.
