By: Tony Paris
BLOOMFIELD, IA (May 30) - Racing action at the Mountain-Dew Bloomfield
Speedway was some of the best with a full pit area and six classes the fans
got there monies worth in economic hard times. The Pepsi-Cola USRA b-mods
took the green for the first feature of the night with a very tough group of
cars. Mike Shelton of Bloomfield took the early race lead with Tyler
Groenendyk of Oskaloosa and Jason McDaniel of Eldon trying to take the lead
from Shelton several times. The caution flag would fly six different times
just as the action was heating up between the three drivers. All would swap
the lead but McDaniel would make the pass on the bottom-side of the speedway
with two laps remaining and drive to his first win in the transition from
the hobby stocks to the b-modified division. Shelton and Groenendyk would
battle for the second spot with Groenendyk making the pass for second and
Cory Brown of Ottumwa would get the hard charger after coming from the
sixteenth starting spot to pass Shelton for third and Shelton taking fourth.
The victory lane celebrations was very special with the racing legend Dean
Sylvester of Hedrick who helps crew chief the 85 machine of McDaniel was
celebrating his 80th birthday with family and friends. Dean has been
involved in racing for over 52years and no other place would be want to
celebrate his birthday than victory lane.
The second feature of the night was the Kolision Korner mini-stocks with a
pair of Ottumwa drivers swapping the lead several times with Larry Hopkins
and Jim Garrett putting on a show. Garrett would make the pass and drive to
victory lane he was the 2008 track champion in the min-stock division.
Hopkins would take fourth when a flat right front tire would come on the
white flag lap with Garrett’s brother would take the runner-up spot with
Cody Cook of Ottumwa taking his best finish in third and Hopkins in fourth.
In the Kirkland Auto USRA hobby stocks feature Derek Kirkland of Centerville
new he had his work cutout having to start tenth with several new faces
visiting to try and take the win and break the streak. Mark Moore of Ottumwa
put the driver from Kellogg in the seat Don Nunnikhoven who lead the first
seven laps before a right rear tire would end his run at the win. This would
turn the lead over to Oskaloosa driver Kris Walker who made his first visit
and looked to be on his way to victory lane but him and Kirkland would
thrill the crow several times swapping the lead with Kirkland taking the
point and cruising to victory lane for the third straight time. Dustin
Griffiths of Ottumwa powered his 10g machine to a runner-up spot after
starting fifteenth. Third place went to Eldon driver Tony Teninty who had
trouble in turns three and four and had to goto the back and raced his way
back up to a third place finish and fourth going to Nathan Wood of Keswick.
The four feature of the night was the Taylor Automotive USRA stock cars with
Corey Stout of Oskaloosa making his first visit and he looked to have
everything going right but contact between him and Phil McClure sending
Stout spinning and to the back of the field. Mike Van Genderen of Newton
taking the lead on lap five and drove to victory lane. Nathan Wood of
Keswick would race his 52 machine from eleventh to a second place finish
followed by the Roger Kelderman entries Chase Mitrisin of Osky and Kyle
Harwood also from Osky in fourth.
Brandon Banks of Washington new his last two visits at the Mountain-Dew
Bloomfield Speedway have been good but just not enough to drive to vistory
lane. His first visit was good enough for four and his second visit was a
runner-up spot to colt Mather by just three feet. He made the third time a
charm by driving his 22 machine to victory lane. Banks made the pass on
Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr on lap two and never looked back. Banks held off
last week winner Mather who closed to with in a car length but settled for
the runner-up spot with Elliott in third and Porter Collins of Clarence, Mo.
In fourth.
The final feature of the night was the Mid-America 305 winged sprints with
sixteen great drivers ranging from fourteen years of age to sixty-three.
Jason Ditsworth of Gladstone, IL. Took the early race lead and had opened to
a eight car length lead with Bobby Mincer of Burlington trying to run down
the leader. Ditsworth and Mincer would battle wheel-to-wheel for the lead
with Mincer taking the lead and driving to victory lane in impressive style.
Ditsworth would take the second spot with the two brothers Marty and Matt
Stephenson of the Mitchellville and Altoona area taking the third and fourth
spots.
