by Ed Potter

MAQUOKETA, IA (Aug. 19, 2006) - It was a beautiful evening for racing at Jackson County Speedway Saturday and apparently a lot of racers thought so to. One Hundred and fourty-four cars crammed the pit area and half way around the horse track. There were enough 4 Stock cars that the field was divided into two features with both paying the same purse and same points as on a regular feature. The Midwest Jalopies and the IIMLA Modified Lights also made visits to the track. Dustin Kay came from his fourth place starting spot to take the lead of the first 4 Stock feature but his brother Justin went by on lap seven. Justin held on for his third win of the seson with Dustin in a close second. Second heat winner, Harry Rogers was third with Tom Lamey fourth and Mike Morrow fifth. Third heat winner, Brannon Bechen led the other feature flag to flag for his second win of the year. First heat winner, Joe Zrostlik was second with point leader, Dan Mohr third. Jeremy Campbell took fourth with hometowner, Kile Vohringer fifth.

After winning the Trophy Truck heat race Ethan Milder took the early lead of the feature with Alan Staskal taking over on lap six. Staskal went on for his seventh win of the season with Bruce Yoerger second and Milder third.

Hobby Stock pole sitter, Dan Kessler led the first lap when a caution flew. On the restart first heat winner, Wayne Hora book over the point and never looked back as he led the rest of the way for his first Jackson County win of the year. The race was called over after lap eleven as Don Marcov Sr and Robin Hute got together in turn two and both cars rolled . Marcov walked back to the pits but Robin was taken in for a check-up. Sheldon Hunter was second with Steve Harms third, second heat winner, Kevin Brame fourth and Jeff Specht fifth.

Mike Fuller grabbed the early lead of the B Modified feature with Mike Baker taking over on lap three. On lap four the caution flew with Baker retaining the lead on the restart. At lap six Keith Feller moved out front with Baker and Doug Burkhead in hot pursuit. On lap ten Burkhead edged out front but the caution flew before the lap was over for a car sitting in the backstretch. This took the restart line-up back to the last completed lap wihich put Feller back in front. On the checkered flag lap it was Burkhead taking the win on his first visit to the speedway this year. Feller was a close second with Jarrett Franzen coming from twelth to take third. Baker held on for fourth with Ben Traver taking fifth. Jay Garvey, Baker and Traver took the heat wins.

Another roll over came in the Street Stock first heat as D.J. Fuller rolled his car between turns three and four on the first lap of the first heat. Pole sitter, Robert Sherbonda led the first lap of the feature with Josh Wilson taking over on a second lap restart. Wilson held off the challenges of Terry Rittmer and Jon Poll to go on for his second win this year. Rittmer held on for second with Poll taking third. Shane Oberbreckling was fourth with Corey Booth fifth.

The V8 Modified feature went flag to flag non-stop with front row starter, Andy Cook leading flag to flag for his second win of the season. The first half of the race he had to hold off Scott Olson and the second half of the race it was Ray Cox Jr putting the pressure on. Cox took a close second with Olson holding on for third. Donovan Lodge took fourth with Bart Miller fifth. Milo Veloz Jr and Cox took the heat wins.

Steve Olson led the first lap of the IMCA Late Model feature with first heat winner, Brian Meiners taking over on lap two. Third heat winner, Ryan Duhme took over the point on lap three. On lap fourteen second heat winner, Terry Neal charged to the front and looked to have things pretty much in control. Working some lap traffic on lap twenty one Neal spun into the infield and came back out about mid pack. Neal's spin turned the lead over to Rob Toland and Toland took full advantage as he went on for his first Jackson County Speedway win on his second visit to the track this year. Duhme was second with Olson holding on for third. Jeremy Gustaf was fourth with Andy Nezworski taking fifth.

The Midwest Jalopies made a visit to the speedway and had Rodney Haack take the feature win. Heat winner, Bob Mingst was second followed by Butch Dunn, John Enwistle and Dan Haack, in that order.

The Iowa-Illinois Modified Lights made their first visit to the speedway and Erik Close led the feature flag to flag for the win. First heat winner, Kelly Meyer took second with second heat winner, Jeff Norton third. Rob Guss was fourth with Legrand Logsdon fifth.
