VANDERBEEK, REICKS, ENGEN, HARE, HENKES TOP OPENING NIGHT
AT CRESCO USRA NATIONALS
 
CRESCO, Iowa (Oct. 11) — Fans and drivers that braved the
cold were treated to some hot on-track action Thursday
night as the inaugural Cresco USRA Nationals kicked off at
the Cresco Speedway. Taking the preliminary feature wins
and earning a spot in Saturday's big dance were Zack
VanderBeek (USRA Modifieds), Tory Reicks (USRA Stock
Cars), Curtis Engen (USRA B-Mods), Brandon Hare (USRA
Hobby Stocks) and Cody Henkes (Outlaw Hobbys).
 
In the USRA Modified main event, Zack VanderBeek of New
Sharon slipped back several spots at the start of the
race, but clawed his way back to the front and took the
lead from Decorah's Dan Bohr with a dramatic four-wide
pass down the backstretch as the leaders split a lapped
car. From there, VanderBeek cruised to the win, with Tim
Donlinger of Rochester, Minn., taking the runner-up spot.
Clear Lake's Dean Mahlstedt finished third, Ryan Gustin of
Marshalltown was fourth, Ryan York of Racine, Minn., took
fifth and Bohr hung on for the sixth and final transfer
spot into Saturday's $5,000-to-win championship feature.
 
The USRA Stock Cars have given race fans some incredible
racing throughout the season, and again on Thursday the
full-fendered warriors did not disappoint. Shawn Peter of
Mabel, Minn., held the advantage early in the main event,
but pressure from Decorah's Kurt Krauskpof throughout the
race kept him on his toes. Late in the race,
ninth-starting Tory Reicks of Waucoma joined the battle up
front as he slipped around the leader on the final lap to
edge Peter at the line for the win. Matt Greiner of
Washingon finished fourth behind Krauskopf, followed by
Kevin Bidne of Decorah in fifth and Mike Bergan of
Ridgeway sixth to earn spots in Saturday's $2,000-to-win
feature.
 
Monona, Iowa's Curtis Engen found victory lane in the USRA
B-Mod main event, holding off Jeremy Smith of Wilmont,
Minn., for the win. Joining them in Saturday's
$1,000-to-win finale will be third-place finisher Shane
Panos of Decorah, Todd Hanson of Clear Lake, Jimmy Davis
of Medford, Minn., and Junior Boyer of Calmar.
 
USRA Hobby Stock action saw the return of the season-long
battle at Cresco Speedway between Elma's Brandon Hare and
Cresco's Chris Hovden, with Hare edging Hovden for the
win. Third went to Scott Spilde of Eidgeway, followed by
Steve Holthaus of Cresco in fourth, Kyle Anderson of
Decorah in fifth and Webster City's Austin Wolfgram in the
sixth and final transfer spot into Saturday's
$1,000-to-win championship feature.
 
Cody Henkes of Postville raced from eighth on the starting
grid to capture the Outlaw Hobby main event, with Josh
Ludeking of Waukon grabbing the runner-up finish. Third
through sixth went to Austin Curtin of Waukon, Shawn
Erickson of Cresco, Ben Moudry of Protivin and Ryan
Goergen. USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series
national champion Mitch Hovden of Decorah won his heat
race, but suffered mechanical woes in the main event and
will have to try again Friday to qualify for Saturday's
$1,000-to-win finale.
 
The action heats back up on Friday with a complete program
of qualifying heats and preliminary features for all five
classes. All drivers will draw for starting positions. The
top-6 from Friday’s preliminary feature will be locked in
for the outside row of Saturday’s main event. All drivers
failing to qualify on Thursday or Friday will redraw for
heat races for Saturday night.
 
All drivers racing on Saturday will have two chances to
get into Saturday’s main event via heat races and last
chance races. Saturday night’s show will feature
qualifying heats, last chance races and the championship
features in all five divisions.
 
On Saturday, USRA Modifieds will race for whopping $5,000
to win while USRA Stock Cars battle for $2,000 to win.
USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Hobbys will each
contend for a top prize of $1,000 on Saturday.

MAHLSTEDT, VANDERBEEK, LANTZ, MCDANIEL, MOUDRY, DAVIDSON
TOP OPENING NIGHT OF 3RD ANNUAL PEPSI USRA NATIONALS
by Brian Neal
 
MEMPHIS, Mo. (Oct. 5) — What a great night for racing at
the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway, with temperatures in
the lower 70's at race time on Friday during the 3rd
Annual Pepsi USRA Nationals. Taking home feature wins on
the night were Dean Mahlstedt (USRA Modifieds), Zack
VanderBeek (USRA Stock Cars), Wyatt Lantz (USRA B-Mods),
Jason McDaniel (USRA Hobby Stocks), Ben Moudry (Outlaw
Hobbys) and Luke Davidson (Hornets).
 
The first feature to take to the track was the 15-lap
Outlaw Hobby feature, with Ben Moudry and Beau Taylor
drawing the front row for the event. Moudry would take
advantage of his front row starting spot to grab the lead
on the drop of the green flag. Moudry then worked to try
and hold off Jake Wenig, as the two drivers ran
side-by-side several times before Wenig pulled out with
front end troubles. Moudry then held off Cody Henkes, who
started tenth, to pick up the win. Jeff Soper would finish
in third, Rob Wilsey was fourth, Keith Reed was fifth,
with Brandon Symmonds taking the final qualifying spot for
Saturdays feature. Wilsey, Henkes and Moudry each picked
up a heat race win.
 
Up next was the 10-lap Hornet feature, with Devin Still
and Andrew Hustead leading the field to the green. But it
was third place starter and 2007 track champion Luke
Davidson jumping out front on lap 1. Davidson then held
the lead until lap 6, when Tyler Whalen slipped by for the
top spot. But Whalen had a tire go down on lap 8, giving
the lead back to Davidson who held off Bill Whalen over
the final two laps to claim the win. Jim Garrett was
third, Bill Young was fourth, with Brent Hartley rounding
out the top five. Heat race winners were Bill Whalen and
Lew Aikman
 
Zack VanderBeek and Jason Cook drew the front row for the
18-lap USRA Stock Car feature, with VanderBeek moving out
front on lap 1. Cook, Tom Schmitt, who started seventh,
and Matt Greiner, who changed motors after hot laps and
started twenty-first, moved up to battle three to wide for
the second spot. VanderBeek would go on to lead all 18
laps and held off a last lap challenge from Schmitt to
grab the win. Greiner would finish in third, Cook was
fourth, Mike Van Genderen was fifth, with Mike Robinson
coming from seventeenth to take the final transfer spot
into Saturdays feature. VanderBeek, Schmitt, Bert McDaniel
Jr., Nathan Wood and Van Genderen each picked up a heat
race win, while Greiner and Greg Mitchell topped the
B-Mains.
 
The 15-lap USRA Hobby Stock feature was up next, with Alan
Hultz and Mike Shelton drawing the front row for the
event. Shelton would take advantage of his starting spot
to grab the lead on the drop of the green flag. Shelton
would continue to hold the top spot, as Bill Gibson, Jim
Tull and Jason McDaniel battled two and three wide for
second. Gibson would jump to the outside of Shelton on lap
9 to take over the lead, with McDaniel following into
second. Gibson, who was running the bottom, and McDaniel,
who was running up top, would run the final five laps
side-by-side. Coming off the fourth turn on the final lap
the two drivers dragged down the frontstrech to the finish
line, with McDaniel edging out the win by inches over
Gibson, Tull was third, Shelton held for fourth, Jimmy
Hayes was fifth, with Mark Moore grabbing the final
transfer spot into Saturdays feature. Heat race winners
were Hultz, Derek Kirkland and Gibson.
 
Up next was the 16-lap USRA B-Mod feature, with Craig
Spegal and Wyatt Lantz leading the field to the drop of
the green flag. Lantz jumped out front on lap 1 and then
held on in a shortened race to pick up the win. Tony
Dunker came from the rear after being involved in a early
crash to finish in second, Joe Hooper started sixteenth
and would finish in third, Jeff Waterman came from
fourteenth to finish in fourth, Robbie Reed came from
twentieth to finish in fifth, with Terry Houston came from
twenty-first to take the final transfer spot for Saturdays
feature. Jared Fuller, Dunker, Gillenwater and Charles
VanBoening took home the heat race wins.
 
The final feature of the night was the 25-lap USRA
Modified feature, with Mark Burgtorf and Blake Sedgwick
drawing the front row for the event. Burgtorf would take
advantage of his front row starting spot to grab the lead
on lap 1, with Mark VanWinkle, Richie Gustin and Al Hejna
battling for second. Burgtorf would hold the top spot
until lap 20, when Dean Mahlstedt, who started ninth,
slipped by for the lead. Mahlstedt then held on over the
final five laps to claim his fourth feature win in a row
in his last four starts. Burgtorf held on for second,
Hejna was third, VanWinkle was fourth, with Ryan Gustin
rounding out the top five. Heat race winners were Bruce
Hanford, Ryan Gustin, Ron VerBeek, Burgtorf and Mahlstedt,
while Bob Dale and Mark Dotson topped the B-Mains.

INAUGURAL CRESCO USRA NATIONALS SET FOR OCT. 11-13

 

CRESCO, Iowa (Sept. 18) — The 2007 racing season at the Cresco Speedway has been one of the most exciting and memorable ever at the 4/10-mile high-banked clay oval. Henceforth, officials from RL Promotions have announced plans for one final speed-fest to close out the events calendar and give both drivers and fans one last hurrah before the checkered flags are put away for the winter months.

 

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 11-13, the Mighty Howard County Fairgrounds speedplant will be the site of the Inaugural Cresco USRA Nationals. More than 200 drivers in five classes are expected to take part in the big-money mega-blowout. USRA Modifieds, USRA Stock Cars, USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Hobbys will be in action all three days.

 

Drivers will have a chance to test and tune their machines with a special practice night on Wednesday, October 10, from 6 to 9 p.m. Fans can get a sneak preview of the weekend action with free admission to the grandstands.

 

On Thursday, the action heats up with a complete program of qualifying heats and preliminary features for all five classes, plus more of the same on Friday night. All drivers will draw on Thursday and Friday night for starting positions. The top-6 from Thursday’s preliminary feature will be locked in for the inside row of Saturday’s main event. The top-6 from Friday’s preliminary feature will be locked in for the outside row of Saturday’s main event. All drivers failing to qualify on Thursday or Friday will redraw for heat races for Saturday night.

 

Friday night’s show will be followed by a free hog roast and beverages after the races. Karaoke will also be playing throughout the night.

 

All drivers racing on Saturday will have two chances to get into Saturday’s main event via heat races and last chance races. Saturday night’s show will feature qualifying heats, last chance races and the championship features in all five divisions.

 

USRA Modifieds will race for whopping $5,000 to win while USRA Stock Cars battle for $2,000 to win. USRA B-Mods, USRA Hobby Stocks and Outlaw Hobbys will each contend for a top prize of $1,000 on Saturday.

MAHLSTEDT, GREINER, BRYANT, GIBSON EMERGE AS MUSCO LIGHTING FALL CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS

By Tony Paris

 

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Sept. 16) — The finals for the 16th annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge was held Sunday afternoon, Sept. 16, due to rain on Saturday night at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa. After a chilly night for the drivers and fans on Friday night, Sunday gave way to beautiful sunny skies and temperatures in the '70s, which made for an awesome show at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster.

 

On Sunday afternoon, Bobby Greiner Jr. of Ottumwa passed Nathan Wood of Keswick for the win and the $1,000 top prize on the 17th lap of the 20-lap USRA Hobby Stock main event. While Wood hung on for second, 2007 track champion Matt Greiner of Washington was third and Malcolm Teachout of Granada, Minn.. grabbed the fourth spot. Jerry Pilcher of Floris rounded out the top-5 in the thrilling battle. After several burnouts to celebrate his feature win, Greiner announced to the crowd that this was his final season in the cockpit and he was retiring from driving.

 

The $500-to-win USRA B-Mod feature saw Cory Brown of Ottumwa take the lead and pace the field until a lap-9 before caution closed the field up. After the restart, Ken Bryant of Ottumwa made the winning pass on lap 11 and drove to victory lane, with Brown taking second and Paul Underwood in third, giving all three podium spots to Ottumwa pilots. Andrew Schroeder of Keswick took fourth, while Raymond Lundry of Maynard, who is currently second in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series standings, completed the top-5.

 

The USRA Hobby Stock feature saw Bill Gibson of Knoxville, Mark Haglund of Webster City and Chris Hovden of Cresco battle for the lead, with Gibson taking the lead on lap 7 and holding off several challenges to take the $500 win. Haglund took second, followed by Hovden, Nathan Wood of Keswick and veteran Bill Bonnett of Knoxville.

 

The final feature of the day was the $2,000-to-win MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified main event, and what a doozey it was! The race capped off the 2007 season with six different leaders and numerous flat tires from the rubbered-down racing surface. The fans got to see drivers from 16 to 55 years of age going to battle for the title and the cash. The feature came down to a green-white-checkered finish with Dean Mahlstedt of Clear Lake driving his No. 21m Bullet Chassis to victory lane for the second time of the weekend. Mark Noble of Blooming Prairie, Minn., took second, followed by Ron Ver Beek of Oskaloosa in third, Bruce Hanford of Davenport fourth and 2007 track champion Brandon Banks of Washington fifth.

 

The 16th Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge put the wraps on the 2007 season at the Southern Iowa Speedway. Track champions, top points-getters and special award recipients will be feted at the annual banquet this Fall, and a tentative 2008 schedule of events will be announced before the end of the year.

 

Officials from RL Promotions and the staff of the Southern Iowa Fairboard extend their gratitude and thanks to all of the fans, drivers, crewmembers and sponsors that helped make the 2007 season one of the most exciting and memorable ever at Osky.

MAHLSTEDT, WOOD, LETTOW, HAGLUND NAB OPENING NIGHT CHECKERS AT MUSCO LIGHTING FALL CHALLENGE

 

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Sept. 14) — A thrilling night of wheel-to-wheel action highlighted the opening night of the 16th Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Friday night. Feature winners were Dean Mahlstedt (MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds), Nathan Wood (USRA Stock Cars), Matt Lettow (USRA B-Mods) and Mark Haglund (USRA Hobby Stocks).

 

With championship races slated for Saturday, preliminary events on Friday set the stage as drivers battle for a big purse, as well as USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series national points both nights.

 

Fresh off of a win at the 9th Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree in Gopher State, Mahlstedt, from Clear Lake, held off defending MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge winner Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon for the $1,000 top prize in the USRA Modified main event. Donnellson's Tony Fraise captured third while polesitter and hometown ace Ron Ver Beek finished fourth and Bruce Hanford of Davenport took fifth. Richie Gustin Jr., Brad Pinkerton, Michael Long, Ryan Gustin and Colt Mather rounded out the top-10 at the finish line.

 

While the top-6 drivers in the USRA Stock Car, USRA B-Mod and USRA Hobby Stock features on Friday automatically qualify for Saturday's championship race, the USRA Modifieds will stage a complete show on Saturday with drivers racing for a $2,000 winner's share of the purse.

 

In Friday's USRA Stock Car main event, last year's USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series Hobby Stock National Champion, Nathan Wood of Keswick, took the $500 win after starting third on the grid. Malcolm Teachout of Granada, Minn., was second, Mike Harward of Floris took third and Bobby Greiner Jr. of Ottumwa came from the 12th starting spot to claim fourth. Jerry Pilcher of Floris and Bobby Greene of Eddyville finished fifth and sixth, respectively, to fill out the first six spots of the inside row for Saturday's $1,000-to-win main event.

 

Matt Lettow of Roland pocketed $200 as he conquered the USRA B-Mod feature race as he looks to repeat as the MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge B-Mod champ. Ryan Lundy of Knoxville was second and Raymond Lundry of Maynard finished third. Cory Brown of Ottumwa, Andrew Schroeder of Keswick and Kevin Fee of Knoxville completed the top-6 and earned a spot in Saturday's $500-to-win championship race.

 

Making his first trip to Osky this season, Mark Haglund of Webster City took the $250 top prize as he won a highly-competitive USRA Hobby Stock main event after starting seventh. Chris Hovden of Cresco, who sits third in the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series Hobby Stock national points behind Southern Iowa Speedway track champion Jason McDaniel, finished second after starting 10th, and Knoxville's Bill Gibson scored a third-place paycheck after racing from the 11th starting spot. Mike Shelton of Ottumwa was fourth, Ryan Vicker of Creston took fifth and Scott Spilde of Ridgeway was the sixth car across the finish line to earn a spot in Saturday's $500-to-win championship race.

 

On Saturday, pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstand gates swinging open at 5, hot laps at 6 and the first green flag waving at 6:30.
