MATHER TAKES TWO AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY by Tony Paris OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 25) - Wednesday's USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series action at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, was sponsored by Eric Palmer for the third straight year as the State Representative continued his support of local auto racing. Three out of the four features went the total length, but the final feature of the night was cut short as heavy rain made the racing surface very slick. Colt Mather of Webster took the win in both the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car and MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds main events. The Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mod feature went to Oskaloosa driver Brian Edel, who scored his third win of the 2008 season with his GM Performance Parts crate engine. The USRA Hobby Stock feature went to Don Nunnikhoven of Kellogg after rain started falling at 9:50 p.m., forcing the officials to call the racing action after just six laps were completed. UP NEXT: It's gonna be a great Fourth of July holiday next week, and one Great American tradition deserves another. On Wednesday, July 2, the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, will host the 13th Annual MUSCO Lighting Great American Stock Car Shootout. The prestigious event, which attracts America's most talented Stock Car and Hobby Stock drivers in the business, will feature a $1,000 top prize in the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car division's main event and $400 to the winner of the USRA Hobby Stock feature on the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster. Then on Thursday, July 3, the action continues at the Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa, for the 5th Annual Kabrick Distributing Great American Stock Car Challenge. Stock Car drivers will have a chance to compete for a $1,500 winner's share of the purse at Cresco while Hobby Stock drivers will be battling for $700. Both events are presented by Plain Motorsports of Webster City, Iowa, and both events will award track and national points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series. However, drivers do not need a USRA license to compete in this annual blockbuster. Just in case that wasn't enough, the high-powered USRA Modifieds will be racing for $1,000 to win each night while the USRA Karl Chevrolet B-Mods will compete for $400 and $700 to win, respectively. Outlaw Hobbys will also join the card at Cresco Thursday and race for $300 to win. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. both days and grandstand gates open for general admission seating at 5:30.
