Oskaloosa boys take home Mid-Summer cash
by Mike McGuire
WEST LIBERTY, Ia. (August 10, 2019) – Mid-Summer Madness 2 provided plenty of excitement at West Liberty Raceway, on Saturday night. Tons of side by side racing and a couple of late race passes for wins kept the crowd entertained all night long.
The main event was Modifieds racing for a $2,000 top prize. In the feature, Kurt Kile got out to the early lead. Cayden Carter of Oskaloosa, slowly worked his way through the top five and with three laps to go, would pass Kile for the lead. Carter led the rest of the way to the checkers and the big check.
Kile would settle for second, with Dakota Hayden making a strong run for third. Jeff Larson finished fourth ahead of Chris Zogg.
Modified heat wins went to Zogg, Carter, and DJ Shannon.
SportMods were also competing for a big payday with $1,000 on the line. In the feature, Matt Fulton took the early lead and held it until lap five. Logan Anderson of Eddyville was next to take the point. His time in the lead was cut short by Curtis VanDerWal of Oskaloosa. Curtis powered into the lead and then started to pull away from the field.
Anderson finished second, while Brayton Carter finished third. Tim Plummer and Fulton rounded out the top five. Anderson, Carter, Brendon Schultheis, and Brandon Dale won the heat races. Blaine Webster and Ryan Harris captured the B-Mains.
David Brandies and Johnny Spaw put on a show in the Stock Car portion of the program. The pair were nose-to-tail or door-to-door for most of the race. Spaw held the early lead, but it was Brandies grabbing the lead late in the race and taking the win. Following Brandies and Spaw to the checkers were Scott Dickey, Tad Payne, and Tom Cannon, in that order.
Steven Struck proved to be the class of the field in 4-Stock competition. Jason Nash took second with Cody Staley third.
The American Iron Racing Series was the guest class for the evening. Bruce Yoerger took the lead midway through the race, then held off Bart Miller for the win.
Next up for DRT TRAK Racing Inc., is Modified Madness at Cedar County Raceway on Friday, August 16th. Racing action returns to West Liberty Raceway on August 24th, when the Deery Brothers Summer Series comes to town.
