Four first time champions crowned Saturday at IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals
BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 11) – Four first time champions were crowned on the sixth and final night of the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals.
Jimmy Gustin of Marshalltown led the last five laps in winning Saturday’s Modified main event at Boone Speedway. Horicon’s Jeremy Christians became the first Wisconsin driver to top the Stock Car feature. Jason Wilkinson of Neligh won the Hobby Stock feature and is the first Nebraska driver to earn a Super Nationals championship in any division. Brett Meyer of Lytton took the checkers in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod main.
Total car count for the 28th annual Super Nationals was 805, the most ever when five divisions were on the weekly card. One hundred and eighty two Northern SportMods saw action in the fifth straight year that class established a new record since its debut at Boone in 2005.
The green light stayed on for the first 32 of 40 laps in the Modified main. Pole starter Kevin Stoa led the first eight circuits before pulling off and giving way to Brandon Blochlinger.
Blochlinger had his hands full with Clint Hatlestad before 15th starting Luke Wanninger entered the fray. The rookie chased Blochlinger into lapped traffic right at midway and was just inches away from being scored as the leader on lap 31.
Back to back yellows came out on lap 33. Gustin lined up behind Blochlinger for the second restart, stayed close and then drove by with five to go, when mechanical problems sent the leader off the track in the middle of turns three and four.
Gustin pulled away from that point, winning comfortably ahead of Johnny Saathoff, 2007 champion Todd Shute and Scott Olson.
Making the 10th Saturday night start of his Super Nationals career, Christians had to chase down pole starter Dustin Smith, finally completing his pass for the front spot on the 15th of 30 laps.
The 20th starting Michael Bruns, Jamie Colwell and Smith all stayed close before Colwell got caught up in a five car tangle on lap 20. Smith lined up behind Christians for restarts then and again on lap 25 but couldn’t catch up.
Defending champion Donavon Smith was third and Marcus Fagan ran fourth. Chad Palmer had led the first six circuits before Dustin Smith took over.
Out of state drivers took the top three spots on the Hobby Stock podium for the first time, as Wilkinson bested Minne­sotan Dustin Larson and fellow Nebraskan across the stripe.
Larson led Marsh in a close battle over the first 14 laps. Wilkinson took over second the next time around, needed a lap to reel in Larson and then ran in front the last 14 circuits.
John Watson was the highest finishing home state driver in fourth. Defending champion Shannon Anderson was running in the top five when he drove to the infield with a flat tire just after halfway.
Eric Flander and Jesse Sobbing enjoyed stints at the front of the SportMod main before Meyer took over on the 18th of 30 laps. Sobbing kept up the chase before being slowed with a flat tire.
Meyer ran in the top four all the way, passing Flander for second after a lap 17 restart and buzzing by Sobbing coming out of turn four the next time around.
Flander, Randy Roberts and Nathan Chodur rounded out the top four finishers.
Clint Hatlestad of Glencoe, Minn., won the Harris Auto Racing Race of Champions for Modifieds and Brian Irvine of Oelwein topped the Sunoco Race Fuels Race of Champions for Stock Cars, both in convincing fashion.
Top honors in the Arnold Motor Supply Hobby Stock Race of Champions went to Brandon Pruitt of Dexter. Tyler Frye of Belleville, Kan., captured the Arnold Motor Supply Race of Champions for the SportMods.
Ray Guss Jr. of Milan Ill., repeated as the Late Model champion at Super Nationals by winning the Labor Day Deery Brothers Summer Series event. He also clinched the tour title with the victory. David Murray Jr. of Ober­lin, Kan., won Friday’s Fast Shafts Modified All-Star Invitational for the third time.
Total purse paid out during the week was approximately $275,000. The Modified and Late Model mains both paid $2,000 to win. The Stock Car main, Harris Auto Racing RoC and Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational each paid $1,000. Northern SportMod and Hobby Stock mains both paid $600 and the Sunoco RoC paid $500. The Hobby Stock and SportMod races of champions each paid $300 to win.
The Modified main, All-Star race and Harris Auto Racing RoC were also qualifying events for the 2011 Fast Shafts Invitational ballot. Some $70,000 in contingency awards were given during the Sep. 6-11 event.
Twenty-three states and two Canadian provinces were represented at Super Nationals.

Everything goes right for Murray in Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 10) – A night after getting upside down at the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals, everything went right for David Murray Jr.

Luck of the draw put Murray on the pole for Friday’s 12 car, 12 lap Fast Shafts All-Star Modified Invitational at Boone Speedway. He took advantage of the prime position to lead start to finish and pocket $1,000, plus another $600 in lap money.

Brad Pounds chased Murray every time around the track. Dave Hardesty, Keith White and Michael Smith rounded out the top five.

“The front row start didn’t hurt,” Murray said between victory lane photos. “After we got upside down in our heat race on Thursday the whole crew really pitched in to get the car ready for this race. Everything went right for us tonight.”

He’s the first three time All-Star winner, adding the 2010 trophy to hardware from 2004 and 2007. Murray was 10th in his only other All-Star appearance, last year.

“As hard as this week has been, winning this race for the third time feels as good as it did the first time we won it,” he said.

Friday’s Invitational was also a qualifying event for the 2011 All-Star ballot.

By vocal vote of the grandstand crowd, the starting formation was switched from six rows of two to four rows of three.

Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational – 1. David Murray Jr., Oberlin, Kan.; 2. Brad Pounds, Bakersfield, Calif.; 3. Dave Hardesty, Minneapolis, Kan.; 4. Keith White, Little River Academy, Texas; 5. Michael Smith, Arkport, N.Y.; 6. Jay Noteboom, Hinton; 7. Will Brack, Mead, Colo.; 8. Paul Stone, Winton, Calif.; 9. Todd Dart, Algona, Wis.; 10. Kevin Sustaire, Emory, Texas; 11. Chad Wernette, Sheridan, Mich.; 12. Matt Brack, Mead, Colo.

Hatlestad, Meyer dominate Friday Super Nationals qualifiers

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 10) – Another Minnesota driver will start the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals Modified main event from the front row.

Clint Hatlestad checked out twice on the rest of the field in Friday’s qualifying event at Boone Speedway, first after taking over the lead on lap 10 and again following a restart with three circuits left in the 25-lapper.

He’ll make his career first Saturday night start at the front of the outside row, ahead of top eight finishers Reese Coffee, Kellen Chadwick, Cale Sponsler, Luke Wanninger, Todd Shute, Chris Derenne and Rich Smith.

Derenne drew the outside row one start and led the first nine times around the track. Back to back cautions came out on lap five. The third starting Hatlestad moved into second on lap nine and zipped past Derenne the next time around.

Once in front, Hatlestad pulled away from everybody. Coffee was into second on lap 15 and Chadwick into third on lap 16 but neither could mount a challenge before or after the late yellow.

Shute qualified from the 19th starting spot. Wanninger made his way up from 21st.

Coffee and Smith both made the big show for the fifth time. Smith took the green flag at the first Super Nationals in 1983 and most recently in 1987, so this is the first time he’s qualified since the event moved to Boone.

Shute, the 2007 champion, is in for the fourth time while Chadwick and Sponsler each make their third Saturday starts. Joining Hatlestad as first time starters in the Modified show are Derenne and Wanninger.

Wanninger joins a unique fraternity as a Super Nationals qualifier in three different divisions over the course of his career. He’d previously raced in Hobby Stock and Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod mains

Minnesota’s Kevin Stoa has the pole and home state favorite Jimmy Gustin starts at the front of the middle row in the main event.

Steve Meyer prevailed in what was surely the longest Stock Car qualifying feature timewise in Super Nationals history, earning the outside front row spot in the Saturday main event for that division.

One lap was in the books and the race was under caution when the clouds opened up. Cars were parked in the infield, then directed to the staging area after the rain stopped and work on the track could begin.

The race resumed after a delay of more than two hours. Meyer promptly said see ya’ and built up most of a straightaway advantage over second running Damon Murty.

The race stayed green through lap 18. Meyer stayed in that fastest line and beat Murty to the checkers by more than a car length. The victory was his first this season.

Rounding out the top 10 and the outside row starters are Josh Daniels, Paul Shepherd, Stefan Sybesma, Ryan Rose, Merlyn Hegland, Justin Jacobsen, Nathan Burke and Dave DeGrave.

Hegland and DeGrave made it in after starting from the back row.

Burke is in the main event for the seventh time.

Another qualifier in three divisions during his career, Murty will make his sixth start in the Stock Car main. The 2002 and 2008 runnerup, he also made the Hobby Show four times and the Northern SportMod main once.

Rose will make his fourth Saturday night appearance. Meyer, Daniels, Shepherd, Sybesma, Hegland, Jacobsen and DeGrave are all in for the first time.

Modified qualifier – 1. Clint Hatlestad, Glencoe, Minn.; 2. Reese Coffee, Hinton; 3. Kellen Chadwick, Oakley, Calif.; 4. Cale Sponsler, Grimes; 5. Luke Wanninger, Jefferson; 6.

Gustin goes fastest in Thursday Super Nationals qualifier

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 9) – Getting to the front from the fifth row was the first obstacle Jimmy Gustin overcame in Thurs­day’s IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals Modified qualifying feature.

Staying there was the second.

Gustin led the last 11 laps, holding off Scott Olson and Johnny Saathoff in a long and hotly contested tussle for the lead.

Next, he’ll start at the front of the inside row in Saturday’s main event at Boone Speedway, in front of fellow top eight finishers Olson, Saathoff, Will Brack, Eric Dailey, G.W. Egbert, Jordan Grabouski and Nick Deal.

The only caution of the race came out on the seventh of 25 circuits and the front trio duked it out for much of the remaining distance.

Olson started on the pole and set the fast pace early; Egbert’s pass for the front spot was erased by the yellow. Gustin slipped past Saathoff for second on lap eight and then caught Olson for the lead on lap 14.

Saathoff will make his 11th career appearance in the Saturday show. Gustin is in for the fifth time, Olson for the fourth, Dailey for the third, Deal for the second and Brack, Grabouski and Deal each for the first.

Brack is the second Colorado driver to make the Super Nationals main event. 1996 champion Kelly Boen did so three times, most recently in 1998.

After making his way into first briefly at the start of Thursday’s Stock Car qualifier, Chad Palmer passed Jeremy Chris­tians on the 12th of 20 laps and led to the checkers to make his first big show at Boone.

Christians avoided any late race mishaps like the one that sidelined him on Wednesday to finish second. The rest of the top 10 moving on to Saturday’s middle row includes Mike Nichols, Jamie Colwell, Mike VanGenderen, Marcus Fagan, Michael Bruns, Kenneth Hansen, Brandon Czarapata and Trent Murphy.

Christians counts three third place finishes in his nine previous Super Nationals main event stars. Nichols is in for the seventh time, Colwell, VanGenderen and Czarapata each for the fifth and Murphy for the third. Joining Palmer as first time qualifiers are Fagan, Bruns and Hansen.

Modified qualifier – 1. Jimmy Gustin, Marshalltown; 2. Scott Olson, Blairsburg; 3. Johnny Saathoff, Beatrice, Neb.; 4. Will Brack, Mead, Colo.; 5. Eric Dailey, Armstrong; 6. G.W.

Stoa delivers Modified qualifying feature win at Super Nationals

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 8) – No matter where he gets his mail, Kevin Stoa always delivers at the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals.

Racing again out of Minnesota, the two time Super Nationals champion took the lead on the eighth of 25 laps and ran in front to the checkers in Wednesday’s Modified qualifying feature. He held off challenges from the likes of David Murray Jr., Jay Noteboom and finally 24th starting Brandon Blochlinger to earn the pole for Saturday’s main event at Boone Speed­way.

Chasing Stoa across the stripe were Blochlinger, Noteboom, 2009 runnerup Craig Reetz, Mike Molle, Chris Alcorn, Paul Stone and Jake Durbin. They’ll line up behind him again on the inside row Saturday.

Stoa won his first Super Nationals crown in 2000 as a resident of Minnesota, moved to Iowa and then to North Carolina, returning to Boone to win his second championship in 2008. He’ll make his 10th career main event start this year.

After two early cautions, Dennis Pittman led the first seven circuits before Stoa worked his way up from eight to take away the front spot. Former champions Murray and Todd Shute got together in a lap 11 incident that sent Murray to the back of the field and Shute to the pits.

Noteboom, who’d had last year’s main event in hand before mechanical issues on the last lap, tried to close the distance on Stoa before Murray went off the second set of turns to bring out the final caution of the race on lap 20.

Blochlinger got by Noteboom following the restart and ran behind Stoa the rest of the way.

Both Blochlinger and Reetz moved up 22 positions from their original starting spots. Durbin drove all the way from the back row to finish a plus 21 on the night, Stone advanced 19 spots, Noteboom 13 and Alcorn a dozen.

Durbin is in the main event for the seventh straight year. Noteboom is also in his seventh career show, Molle his sixth and Alcorn and Reetz both their second. Blochlinger and Stone are first time qualifiers.

Dustin Smith ran at the front all 20 laps in winning the Stock Car qualifier and Saturday’s pole in the main event for that division. Jeffrey Larson took over the runnerup spot late in the race while Dustin’s brother and defending champion Donavon ended his run in third, after starting 16th.

Rounding out the top 10 advancing to the inside row on Saturday are Dan Mackenthun, Kenneth Tietz, Justin Temeyer, Lynn Panos, Jeff Mueller, Jesse Colwell and Ned Kalis.

Dustin Smith took charge from the initial green, pursued most of the way by Jeremy Christians. Christians had slipped to fourth before getting caught up with Steve Meyer on the last lap. Both cars slowed and finally came to a stop in turn four.

Larson made the biggest charge toward the front, 16 spots after qualifying from his “B” feature. Donavon Smith avoided a lap 14 pileup that involved four other cars to restart in fourth.

Eight of the 10 Stock Car qualifiers have been to the big Saturday night dance before, with Temeyer’s six career appear­ances the top individual total.

Both Smiths are former Hobby Stock kings at Super Nationals and will make their fourth starts in the Stock Car show. Mueller and Tietz are both in for the third time, Colwell, Larson and Mackenthun each for the second.

Kalis and Panos are first time qualifiers.

Davis, Dvorak, Krug top Tuesday qualifiers at Super Nationals
BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 7) – Scott Davis is hoping his career 13th main event appearance leads to a sec­ond IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals championship.
Danny Dvorak and Chad Krug also hope Tuesday success on the track at Boone Speedway leads to even bigger and better things come Saturday night.
After replacing an engine that expired in Monday night’s qualifier at Boone Speedway, Davis took charge at midway and led to the finish of his Tuesday evening Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature.
He’ll start on the front of the middle row of the main event on Saturday.
Eric Flander led the early going Tuesday night. The only caution came on lap eight and Davis eked ahead as the front pair came to the stripe halfway through the 20 lapper.
Flander kept up the chase, but couldn’t keep a back runner between his car and Davis’ and had to set­tle for a distant second.
The rest of the top 10 advancing to the middle row of Saturday’s big dance include R.J. Merchant, Matt Oreskovich, Eric Elliott, Brett Moffitt, defending champion Mike Pruitt, Cody Hudson, Matt Hoeft and Geoff Olson.
The 1998 Stock Car king, Davis owns six career main event starts in both that class and the Northern SportMods, and another in the Modifieds.
Dvorak led the distance of the second SportMod qualifier, which ran green the last nine circuits. Tad Reutzel kept up the pursuit from start to finish.
Lining up behind Dvorak, now a four time qualifier for the SportMod show, and Reutzel on the out­side row Saturday will be Randy Roberts, Steve Reetz, Brandon Leeman, Blake Peeler, Lynn Brock­ett, Jim Gillenwater, Adam Ackerman and Kyle Bentley.
Krug drew the pole and wasn’t seriously challenged through the Hobby Stock 20 lapper. He drove away following the second and final caution of the contest to secure the outside front row start in his career first Super Nationals main event.
Completing the outside row will be top 10 finishers are Chuck Madden Jr., four time champion Andy Boeckman, Russell Damme Jr., Matthew Shely, Mike Traskowsky, nine time qualifier Chris Jensen, Danny Watson, 1998 champion Bill Bonnett and Chad Shaw.
Shaw’s claim to fame is becoming the first driver from Missouri to qualify for the Hobby Stock fea­ture since the division was added to the Super Nationals program in 1997.
Two hundred and seventy Modifieds and 170 Stock Cars will see their first qualifying action at Boone on Wednesday.

Larson, Anderson, Sobbing win opening night qualifying features at Super Nationals

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 6) – A Hobby Stock driver from Minnesota will start from the pole in Saturday’s main event, while the defending IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals champion takes the green from the front of the middle row.

Dustin Larson of Rushmore, Minn., led all 20 laps in winning the first of two qualifying features for Hobby Stocks on opening night of the 28th annual Super Nationals at Boone Speedway. Shannon Anderson of Atlantic raced his way back into the front spot to top the second qualifier, which finished under caution.

The pole starter for Saturday’s main event for Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods made one of the biggest impressions in racing all the way from the 28th starting spot. Jesse Sobbing of Glenwood was in the lead before the race was half over and pulled away after a late restart.

Larson looked sharp in taking the first Hobby Stock qualifier, ahead of Robby Marsh. The rest of the top 10 finishers advancing to the inside row include Kevin Fee, Jason Wilkinson, Eric Stanton, John Yaw Sr., Matt Mahoney, Josh Irvine, Cody Gustoff and Jesse VanLaningham.

Anderson checked out early, then was docked two spots for jumping a restart. Undeterred, he got the lead back shortly after the next restart.

John Watson had chased Anderson into lapped traffic near the end of the contest when the caution came out. Checkered and yellow flags flew the next time around.

Lining up behind Anderson and Watson in the middle row will be Michael Murphy, 2000 champion Randy Embrey, Shawn Slezak, Richard Yaw II, Brandon Pruitt, Noah Ludwig, Scott Lograsso and Chad Gentz.

A plethora of cautions slowed the Northern SportMod main, but when the light stayed green Sobbing remained on a mission. A nifty move to the high side put him at the front; Scott Davis continued to challenge until a puff of smoke sent him rolling to the infield.

Sobbing will take Saturday’s green flag in front of early leader Brett Meyer, Tyler Frye, Nathan Chodur, Jared Timmerman, Clinton Luellen, Dennis Miesler, Austin Lucas, Austin Kaplan and Benji Legg.

Frye raced his way back to third after being caught up in one of the early mishaps. Chodur came from row 12, Timmerman from the back row.

The outside row of 10 qualify tonight for the Hobby Stock main event; the middle and outside rows of 10 will be determined for the Northern SportMods.

Also on the program at Boone is qualifying for the Arnold Motor Supply Race of Champions for Hobby Stocks.

Benton County Speedway hosts Hogan Memorial on Sunday

VINTON, Iowa (July 5) – The winner of the Hogan Memorial can more than double their money with a long run at the front of the IMCA Modified feature field this Sunday, July 11 at Benton County Speedway.

The headline event pays $1,250 to win and an­other $50 for each of the 40 laps led, plus another $250 to the leader at midway, making for a potential payoff of $3,500. The winner will be added to the ballot for the 2011 Fast Shafts All-Star Invi­tational.

National, ButlerBuilt North Central Region and Allstar Performance State points will be awarded. A mandatory caution will be thrown for a five minute break midway through the feature, with all cars stopping on the frontstretch.

The winner also goes home with a Hoosier race tire and all feature qualifiers will be entered in a drawing for a barrel of methanol from Fauser Oil. A minimum of $110, including sponsor money, will be paid to make the feature. Robison Trucking and the Ron-Da-Voo Lounge will give a $450 hard charger award.

IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks, Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Mach-1 Sport Compacts will vie for all applicable IMCA points.

The Ron-Da-Voo will also give $125 hard charger awards in the Stock Car and Northern SportMod mains.

There is no entry fee for any class.

Pit gates and the grandstand at Vinton open at 4 p.m., with hot laps at 5:30 p.m. and racing to follow. Grandstand admission is $10 for adults and $4 for kids 6-13, with five and under admitted free. Pit passes are $20.
