by Ed Potter

MAQUOKETA, IA (Aug. 5, 2006) - It was a beautiful night for race Saturday at Jackson County Speedway, after the extreme heat of the last couple of weeks. Fans got to see some new faces in victory lane, including some very first time winners. The 4 Stock feature started with it's only caution before a lap was scored. On the restart fifth place starter, Brannon Bechen roared out front and stayed there for the entire race. By lap four first heat winner, Dan Mohr was on his tail with Dustin Kay also right there. Bechen went on for his first ever feature win with Mohr second and Kay third. Kile Vohringer was fourth with Rob Harding taking fifth. Chris Holmlund won the other heat.
Ethan Milder used his pole starting spot to take the lead of the Trophy Truck feature with Alan Staskal taking over on lap five. Staskal went on to take his fifth win of the season, with Roger Ashby, the only other truck on the lead lap, taking second. Heat winner Bruce Yoerger was third with Midler fourth and Joe Bonney fifth.
Second Hobby Stock heat winner, Corey Rupp used his front row starting spot to move out front of the feature and had a pretty good lead when the caution flew at lap five to and the field tightened back up. On the restart Rupp went back out front, but now he had Steve Harms putting the pressure on. Harms took over the lead on lap six and went on for his eighth win this year. On the white flag lap Don Marcov Sr got by Rupp to take second. Rupp held on for third with Jeff Specht fourth and Ryan Steffen fifth. Jake Hayes won the other heat.

Veteran racer, Dave Bielenberg jumped into the B Modified feature lead and held it through lap seven despite three cautions by that time. On lap eight nineth place starter and first heat winner, Jarrett Franzen moved out front. The third generation driver then led the rest of the way to take his first feature win of the year. Ben Traver took second with Bielenberg holding on for third. Second heat winner, B.J. Jackson was fourth with last week's winner, Rick Galloway fifth.
The Street Stock feature went flag to flag non-stop, without any cautions. Pole sitter, Jamie Wilson led the first lap with second heat winner, Luke Miller taking over on lap two and going on for his first ever feature win. First heat winner, Shane Oberbreckling was second followed by Jon Poll. Corey Booth took fourth after last weeks roll over followed by Chris Litscher's fifth.

It was a wild and wooly V8 Modified feature with a total of eight cautions when it was finally called finished at lap eighteen when the eighth caution flew. The largest caution of the race came at lap six and involved about half the field. On the drop of the green at the start of the race pole sitter, Andy Cook took control and couldn't keep a very large lead as the cautions kept tightening things back up. After being involved in that sixth lap caution Ray Cox Jr moved up and into second on lap twelve and was soon putting the pressure on Cook. On lap eighteen a lapped car became involved going down the back stretch and Cox picked the right line as Cook and the lapped car brought out the last caution. Cox took his third win of the season with Bob Dominacki a strong second. Mike Weidemann was third with Keith Blum fourth and Tony VonDresky fifth. Timmy Current and Bart Miller won the heat races.

The twenty-five lap IMCA Late Model feature also went flag to flag non-stop. First heat winner, Brian Meiners came from his third place starting spot to take the early lead with Kevin Blum moving out front on lap five. At lap ten second heat winner, Terry Neal moved by Meiners into second and the chase was on. Neal couldn't quite get to Blum and had to settle for second with Blum taking his third win of season and Jackson County. Mark Preston was third with Meiners holding on for fourth. Jason Bahrs rounded out the top five.
