Bloomfield, Iowa (May 18, 2013) – Racing action was held at the Mountain-Dew Bloomfield Speedway for the second race of the season sponsored by The Hawkeye Trader on Armed Forces night with military people getting in free of charge. The racing action was exciting with three of the four features decided on the last lap.

In the Kirkland Auto Hobby Stocks a first ever winner and rookie driver Jason See of Albia took the win after passing Dustin Griffiths of Ottumwa in turns three and four for the win. Griffiths took the second spot with Nick Ulin of Agency taking third and Tim Pettibone of Moravia racing from the seventeenth starting spot to take fourth.

The Kollision Korner Sport Compacts saw Kassidy Kirkpatrick of Ottumwa go wire to wire and score his first win of the 2013 season and distanced the field by over a straight away. Jared Hinkle of Cincinnati would take the second spot after battling season opener winner Jim Garrett of Ottumwa with the two going wheel to wheel with Hinkle in second and Kevin Kirkpatrick of Ottumwa getting past Garrett for the third spot and Garrett taking the fourth spot.

One of the most exciting features was the Taylor Automotive Stock Cars with Derek Kirkland of Centerville and Bob Lynch of Ottumwa bringing the field to the green flag. The two would battle for the lead. Lynch would take the lead on lap three and pace the field till lap twelve when Jerry Pilcher would battle Lynch for the lead with Pilcher leading on lap fifteen but Lynch would battle back the two would thrill the crowd. The final lap Lynch would take the lead in turns three and four and take his first ever feature win. Pilcher settled for the second spot with father and son duo was Gary and Mike Harward of Floris going wheel to wheel with son Gary taking third and father Mike in fourth.

Our fourth and final feature was the Mike’s Tire and Alignment Sport Mod features with Jason McDaniel pacing the field till a lap thirteen wreck that saw Dakota Simmons spin in turn three and race leader McDaniel would be a victim with McDaniels machine trying to avoid the Simmons machine but would make contact sending him to the back. This turned the lead over to Ryan Fullenkamp of Bloomfield and he would lead the final three laps for the win. Chris Larson of Keokuk would race his machine into second from thirteenth starting spot. The third spot went to Austin Paul of Monroe and fourth going to Brandon Dale of Gorin, Mo. In fourth.
