BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 2) – Drivers from down South and from east on Highway 30 won Stock Car qualifying features, on night two of the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals.

Texas Chad Estes led all 25 circuits in Tuesday’s first qualifier after starting outside row one. Damon Murty of Chelsea worked his way up from ninth to win the caution-marred second qualifier at Boone Speedway.
