Track Schedules

BOONE, IA  (Sept. 1) – Veterans Larry Portis and Rod Snellenberger won Stock Car qualifying features Monday at Boone Speedway, on opening night of the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals.

The two will square off in a Tuesday night dash to determine which will start on the pole in Saturday’s main event. The top five from each Monday qualifier will make up the inside row in that race.

Colton Osborn chased Portis to the checkers in the first feature, with 2002 champion Larry Silbaugh, 2006 Hobby Stock king Dustin Smith and Travis Van Straten advancing as well.

Scored behind Snellenberger were Mike VanGenderen, David Smith, Rick Mees and Trent Murphy. Snellenberger raced from the 13th spot for the vic¬tory, while VanGenderen came from 14th and Mees from 19th. Wayne Gifford was the second car across the finish line but was disqualified from the post-race tech tent for an illegal carburetor.

Osborn, Mees and Murphy all made the big Stock Car show for the first time, Dustin Smith for the second straight year and VanStraten, Snellenberger and VanGenderen each for the fourth time.

Silbaugh will start his fifth main event, while Portis and David Smith are both in the big dance for the sixth time in their respective careers.
