Sather, Pruitt top qualifying features for Northern SportMods at Super Nationals

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 10) – Kevin Sather and Mike Pruitt both impressed in winning their respective Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod features Thursday night during the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals.

Slowed only by a couple early cautions and another yellow after midway, Sather ran away with the checkers in the first 20-lapper at Boone Speedway. Pruitt led the distance in the second event, chased most of the way by Jeremy Embrey.

A record 163 cars were entered in the class, 24 more than the previous mark set last year.

The top nine finishers in each race advance to the starting grid for Saturday’s main event. Sather will be on the pole, in front of Brett Meyer, Jared Timmerman, Geoff Olson, Adam Ackerman, Scott Davis, Brian Miller, 2007 champion Tracy Wassenberg and Nathan Chodur.

Lining up behind Pruitt and Embrey in the inside row will be Austin Lucas, Brett Moffitt, Kurt Hogan, Benji Legg, Mark Rose, Steve Stewart and Rick Kretschmann.

The final nine on the outside row will be determined during Friday’s show.

The second feature was stopped on the fourth circuit, when Austin Kaplan rolled in front of the grandstand.
