MATHER, GREINER, SCHROEDER, MCDANIEL, PHILLIPS SCORE ON
OSKALOOSA HERALD NIGHT AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 13) - Racing action at the Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, resumed after a two-week
break in the action, and race fans had a chance to get two
weeks of the Oskaloosa Herald free of charge just by
filling out a card while the young race fans got a chance
to win back-to-school backpacks.
The main events kicked off with the USRA Karl Chevrolet
Stock Car feature. Matt Greiner of Washington took his
second straight win at the Mahaska County Half-Mile
Monster. Greiner held off several challenges from
Oskaloosa driver Brain Mitrisin who later ended his run
with mechanical problems. The second spot went to Osky
driver Howard Gordon Jr. with A.J. Johnson of Osky taking
the third spot and Rick Todd of Des Moines in fourth.
The Mid-America 305 Winged Sprints made their second
appearance of the 2008 season with Tasker Phillips staying
perfect with the win. Phillips battled with Chad Huston of
Jamesport, Mo., And Louis Lynch of Glenwood, Mo., who
tried to hold off the young gun that turned 16 years old
one day earlier and has won three of the last four
outings. Huston held on on for the runner-up spot with
Lynch in third and last year's champion, Mike Mayberry of
Fremont, in fourth.
The Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mod feature was a
thriller with Bill Gibson of Knoxville looking to the
checkers but Andrew Schroeder of Keswick was the spoiler
after making the pass in the final turn for the win.
Gibson took second with Leroy Groenindyk of Oskaloosa in
third and Ottumwa racer Cory Brown in fourth.
The USRA Hobby Stock feature went to Jason McDaniel of
Eldon, who took the lead on lap 5 from Ottumwa's Bob Lynch
and Dustin Griffiths who were battling for the top spot.
The contest was slowed for about five minutes on lap 10
for rain, but racing resumed with McDaniel taking his
fifteenth win as he continues his run for the USRA Casey's
General Stores Weekly Racing Series National Championship
in the USRA Hobby Stock division. Agency driver Danny
Thrasher finished second with Griffiths in third and Lynch
taking fourth.
The final feature was the MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds
with Colt Mather of Webster taking the win after leading
all 18 laps with last year's track champion, Brandon Banks
of Washington, in second. Josh Truman of Indianola took
the third spot with a brand new car he debuted Wednesday
night and Oskaloosa driver Steven Blattler grabbed fourth.
With the weather trying to spoil the night, the mechanics
races were postponed until next Wednesday, Aug. 20, and
will be staged along with the powder puff races on Paul
DeGeest for Sheriff Night at the Southern Iowa Speedway
featuring MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds, USRA Karl
Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mods
and USRA Hobby Stocks.
Pit gates open at 5 p.m., grandstands open at 5:30, hot
laps are at 7:15 and the first green flag waves at 7:30
sharp.
