Mike Shelton of Ottumwa and Don Nunnikhoven of Sully battled for third with Shelton taking third and Nunnikhoven taking the fourth spot. After the feature Shannon Sample of Milton claimed the carburetor from Nunnikhoven and he did sell.

The USRA 360 9:1 B-modified division saw Andrew Schroeder of Keswick taking the win over Mike Wanders of Oskaloosa who took second in his first visit at the Bloomfield Speedway with Paul Underwood of Ottumwa in third and Jared Miller of West Des Moines in fourth.

The USRA Stock Car feature was one of the best features of the year with Phil McClure of Floris driving son Tyler’s car and took the lead and paced the field the first ten laps before Pat Rachels of Knoxville would make the pass on the high side taking the top spot and leading the final five laps for the win. McClure took second with Matt Greiner of Washington taking third and Ben Jones of Williamsburg taking the fourth spot.

The Spilman’s Auto Parts USRA A-Modifieds saw Steve Stewart of Washington and Scott Dickey of Packwood leading the field to the green flag. Stewart took the lead off turn two but would spin the orange 17 in front of the field sending him to the back of the field on the restart. Dickey would pace the field for the next thirteen laps before Stewart would go wheel-to-wheel with Dickey on the white flag lap with Dickey spinning his 40 machine and Stewart taking the win. Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr would take the second spot with Brandon Banks of Washington taking fourth and Dickey taking seventh.

This weeks action sponsored by Greiner Buildings of Washington with the USRA Casey’s General Stores Weekly Racing Series, plus Mid-America 305 Winged Sprints and “Faster Pastor Races” with only two weeks remaining at the speedway fans need to take in the action before old man winter bring on the winter blues.
