CHECKERS FLY FOR VER BEEK, WOOD, EDEL, MCDANIEL AT
SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDWAY PEPSI SEASON CHAMPIONSHIPS
By Tony Paris
OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 27) - The final checkered flag of
the regular season flew Wednesday night at the Southern
Iowa Speedway with the USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly
Racing Series and four track champions crowned during the
Pepsi Season Championships.
In the USRA Hobby Stock feature, Jason McDaniel of Eldon
took the win and the his second straight track title.
McDaniel had to battle Danny Thrasher of Agency for the
win.
In the Carter's Manufacturing USRA B-Mod main event, Bill
Gibson of Knoxville and Oskaloosa's Brain Edel come into
the night with only one point separating the two. Edel
took the win and track championship, but had to battle
young Carter VanDenBerg, who led all but the final four
laps in his second time ever in a B-Mod after graduating
from go-karts. Edel became the first driver under the USRA
banner to win a track championship using the GM
Performance Parts Crate Engine.
USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car division saw Matt Greiner of
Washington take his second track championship over
Oskaloosa driver A.J. Johnson, but it was former USRA
Hobby Stock national champion Nathan Wood of Keswick who
took the feature race checkers over Shane Weller of
Agency.
In the MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified division, Ron Ver Beek
nabbed the checkers in front of his hometown crowd while
Colt Mather of Webster garnered the track championship in
his rookie season driving Modifieds. Ver Beek, who missed
a week of competition due to racing in the Casey's General
Stores Hunt for the O'Reilly USMTS National Championship,
finished second in the points chase.
The Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster will be idle until
Friday and Saturday, Oct. 10-11 when the 22nd Annual MUSCO
Lighting Fall Challenge is held. The race will feature all
four USRA-sanctioned classes-Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Mods
and Hobby Stocks- with a twist on the payoff: all four
classes will race for $1,000 to win on Friday and all four
classes will race for $1,500 to win on Saturday!
