VANDERBEEK, MATHER, GIBSON, NUNNIKHOVEN LAY DOWN THE LAW
AT SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 20) - Racing action at the Southern
Iowa Speedway on Wednesday was sponsored by Paul DeGeest,
who is running for re-election as sheriff of Mahaska
County. The night provided another nice crowd of loyal
fans and a strong field of cars battling for track and
national points in the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series.
The USRA Hobby Stock feature saw Don Nunnikhoven of
Kellogg take the win in his back-up car. After he
destroyed his primary car a couple of weeks ago,
Nunnikhoven had to drag the old car out of the weeds and
he made it pay off Wednesday night. Last week's feature
winner, Jason McDaniel of Eldon, tried several times to
put the pass on the leader, but had to settle for the
runner-up spot. Agency's Danny Thrasher took third and
Rose Hill driver Shannon Sherwood was fourth.
The MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds saw Ron Ver Beek of
Oskaloosa take the lead in the main event and pace the
field until caution flew on lap 14 of the 18-lap event. On
the restart, O'Reilly USMTS points leader Zack VanderBeek
of New Sharon made the pass after coming from the 11th
starting spot after changing motors following his heat
race. The hard work by his crew paid off with a win. Ver
Beek took the second spot with New Sharon's Brad Pinkerton
in third while last week's winner and points leader, Colt
Mather of Webster, was fourth.
The Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mods saw Brian Edel of
Oskaloosa and Bill Gibson of Knoxville battle for the lead
just like the points battle where only five points
separate the two drivers. Gibson took the win with Mike
Shelton of Ottumwa in second and last week's winner,
Andrew Schroeder of Keswick, in third. Edel finished
fourth, but fell eight points behind Gibson going into
next Wednesday's Pepsi Season Championships.
The USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car feature saw Corey Stout
of Oskaloosa lead the first seven laps before Colt Mather
made the pass and go on to win. Nathan Wood of Keswick
raced his way from the 13th starting spot to come home
second. The third spot went to Stout and fourth went to
current points leader Matt Greiner of Washington.
Next Wednesday, Aug. 27, will be the Pepsi Season
Championships featuring MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds,
USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter's Manufacturing
USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks. Join us after the races
for some great food and drink while we hand out trophies
and special awards at the first-ever fan-friendly
post-season awards banquet.
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.
Then on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 10-11, the Mahaska
County Half-Mile Monster wraps up the 2008 racing season
with the 22nd Annual MUSCO Lighting Fall Challenge
featuring Musco Lighting USRA Modifieds, USRA Karl
Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mods
and USRA Hobby Stocks.
