MARSHALLTOWN, IA (April 29, 2011) - After fighting mother nature the past 2 weeks and losing this week, we wouldn't have that problem as we would have some great 3 or 4 wide racing action. There was a 106 cars signed in too do battle on Johnny Ray's Sports Bar & Grille Night at the Races. In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Mod Lites 15 lap feature before we could get 1 lap in the books the caution would come out for Chase Ellingson coming to a rest on the frontstretch. On the restart though it was Dusty Masolini taking control and lead the first 2 laps but on lap 3, Masolini would have to battle with Josh May and May would win that battle and take the lead. Shortly after that the caution came out for a 2nd time this time for Michael Parcel coming to a stop in turn 2. May would resume command but the field would see another caution on lap 5 when Tim Hennigar lost the handle in turn 2. May wouldn't let them bother him as he would only have to worry about lap traffic. May took the win with Mike Morrill in 2nd, Joel Huggins in 3rd, Andy Hennigar in 4th and Randy Bryan in 5th. The Big 8 Tyre Center IMCA Sport Mods were next it took 4 heats and a B-feature to dwindle the field down from 31 cars to 24 cars for the feature. Nick Roberts lead lap 1 but Racer Hulin would come back and take the lead on lap 2. Hulin would continue to hold the top spot until Roberts made the pass for the lead. Roberts would hold that spot until Jake Strayer took the top spot. The only caution in the 15 lap feature came out on lap 9 for Zac Backer coming to a stop in turn 2. Strayer would not let that bother him as he took the win with Joel Rust, Racer Hulin, Cayden Carter and Austin Lucas rounding out the top 5. Mike's Hard Lemonade IMCA Stock Cars feature would not disappoint anyone. Jay Schmidt took the early lead and just as he would start to pull away. Schmidt had the lead, but Steve Meyer and Trent Murphy were right behind him. Schmidt held the lead, but lost the handle which allowed Trent Murphy to get by. Caution came out on lap 10 for a couple of cars sitting in turn 2. Murphy and Meyer began doing battle for the top spot when the race resumed and it was 2 close to call every lap. As the white flag came out a car would come to a rest in turn 2 and this would bring out the final caution, meaning the feature would go 19 laps instead of 18 laps, but when it was done, Trent Murphy took the win, Steve Meyer was 2nd, Tracy Gienger was 3rd, Damon Murty was 4th and Michael Jaennette was 5th. The Meskwaki Bingo Casino Hotel IMCA Modifieds would also not disappoint the fans as it was an exciting 20 lap feature. Todd Conrad took the lead and look to be pulling away but then the only race caution came out on lap 7, when a car went of the top of turn 1. Conrad had Richie Gustin, Jimmy Gustin and Adam Larson sitting right behind him. Larson had an impressive run as he started 14th and was up to 4th in only 7 laps. Jimmy Gustin had a great restart and made the pass for the lead on lap 9. Jimmy Gustin's lead wouldn't last long as Adam Larson made the pass for the lead on lap 12 and went on to take the win. Jimmy Gustin was 2nd, Richie Gustin was 3rd, Todd Conrad was 4th and Jon Snyder was 5th. The final feature was the IMCA Hobby Stocks for 12 laps and it was Mike Vibbard leading the first 5 laps but then Eric Knutson would get by on lap 6. Knutson lead was short lived though as he was passed by Michael Murphy. Murphy and Knutson would do battle for the lead and Knutson would regain the lead on lap 11. After that happened the caution would come out for a car coming to a rest in turn 2. Knutson wouldn't let that spoil it for him as he would go on and take the win, Murphy, Vibbard, Kevin Fee and Matt Hedspeth rounding out the top 5.
