By Dana Royer/34 Raceway

BURLINGTON, IA (June 21) ­ It was a beautiful  night for racing at 34 Raceway  Saturday on Electric Rayz Tanning night.  It was Hawaiian Beach Apparel  Night with fans dressed in Hawaiian apparel  getting a $2.00 discount at the gate.  Again a good turnout  of cars were on hand,  some traveling extra  miles due to the road closures,  to get their weekly racing fix in. Winners on Saturday,  June 21 included Jason Frankel (late models), Quincy, Il., Tyler Cale (modifieds), Donnellson; Darin Thye,  (stock cars), Burlington,  Jayson Ditsworth (sprints), Gladstone, Il., and Alex Buffington, (hobby stocks), Wapello. 

Burlington¹s Darin Thye returned this week after a violent crash in his modified last week to take  the checkered flag in the IMCA Stock Car feature.  (Thye races weekly in both the modified and stock car divisions) Last week¹s winner,  Jim Redmann took the early lead in the twenty six car , fifteen lap feature  before giving it up to Jeff Mueller on lap eight.

Mueller then led the field around the 3/8 mile for the next five laps until Thye pulled ahead on the back stretch  on lap fourteen for the lead and went on to take the checkered flag by a single car length over Mueller.  Mueller finished second  followed by Rod Staats,  John Oliver, Jr., and Redmann finishing out the top five. 

Jason Frankel  continued his winning streak at 34 Raceway taking the IMCA Late Model  feature checkered flag for the second straight week,  and fourth this season.  Frankel took the lead from Gary Russell on lap fifteen of the twenty five lap race and never look backed.  But behind him a battle was going on between  Russell , Lonnie Bailey and Tom Goble.  Goble won the battle getting by both Russell and Bailey on the last lap to finish second.

The only yellow of the race came out on lap twenty one .  The late models have seen just two yellows come out in the last four features. 

The father son team of Tyler and Kevin Cale again finished one and two  in the IMCA Modified  feature for the second straight week. Tyler took the third lead of the twenty lap race on lap seven passing Lonnie Heap. A caution on lap nineteen meant for a green,  white, checkered finish with Tyler hanging on to take the checkered flag for the third time this year at 34. Kevin Cale passed Heap on the final lap in turns three and four to finish second. Heap,  Bill Roberts, Jr. and Dennis LaVeine rounded out the top five. 

Jayson Ditsworth took the lead on lap two of the the twenty lap Sebastian Sandblasting 305 Sprint  feature  leading the field for the next  eight laps. Following a caution on lap eleven,  Brian Hetrick  took the lead from Ditsworth in turns three and four, but Ditsworth would get it back one lap later and went on to take the checkered flag by several  car lengths,  his second win this year.  Hetrick followed as did Justin Parrish,  Scott Boles and Justin Newberry rounding out the top five. 

After struggling to get laps in last week the Pepsi Hobby Stocks were back in fine form putting on a show for the fans  in the fifteen lap race. One caution was brought out on lap nine for debris on the track  otherwise  it was non stop action.  Sky Griffith took the early lead before giving it up to Wapello¹s Alex Buffington on lap three.  Buffington would pull away from the field and went on to get his second win this year.  Dan Wenig made a last lap pass to get by Griffith to finish second. Griffith finished third followed by Tanner Thomann and Brian Holmes
