Anderson, Still Undefeated at Shelby County Speedway
By Shannon Lowe
HARLAN, IA (May 17) - Another gorgeous night for racing, last Saturday as
the KNOD Relay for Life Team “Stayin’ Alive with 105” helped pack the house
on KNOD night at the races and fans enjoyed a warm night of racing at the
Shelby County Speedway.
The KNOD Kool Gold Compacts took the track with finesse as racers battled
hard for the checkered from start to finish. As the green flag dropped,
Bryan Smith elbowed his way from mid pack toward the front taking damage to
his car on the way. Brandon Claussen drove hard and managed to hold off
Smith but was unable to capture three in a row as last year’s Sport Compact
Track Champion Tom Summerfield returned to the track for the first time this
year, and proved to be tough competition again, taking the checkered flag
with ease followed by Claussen, Smith and Caine Malberg.
Racing in the Country Tire, Harlan Firestone Hobby Stocks was a real thrill
with cars stacked together and 3 wide racing lap after lap. Jason Fusselman
dug in early to nab the top spot for few laps before Adam Hensel stripped
him of it. Meanwhile, Shannon Anderson was on the prowl working his way
through the horde of hobby stocks that started ahead of him. As he worked
alongside Jason Fusselman, gunning for the 2nd spot, Adam Hensel dropped out
of the race with a blown engine. Fusselman worked to keep his car out front,
but was unable to get it done with Anderson driving home with the checkered
for the third week in a row, Corey Madden in Second, Derrick Rohe in third,
and Chuck Madden in fourth.
Wam Performance Sport Mods drove out on the dirt hoping to finish fifteen
laps this week but didn’t make it to the green flag before cars were tangled
on the front stretch. Officials worked to reset the line up, and the Sport
Mods gave it another go. When the class finally finished a lap under the
green flag, Jon Plowman had the lead with Jared Hansen ready to make a pass
around him. Hansen used a restart to power into the lead with the Jesse
Sobbing setting sights on him from the second spot. Time ran out on the
class with 8 laps still to go and a green, white checkered dream dangling in
front of the sport mod drivers. Sobbing raced low on the clean restart to
take the lead as the class hit the half way mark. Hansen stayed on his rear
push bar and began to look low for an opening as the laps finally began to
tick by. Sobbing held on to take the trip to O’Reilly Victory Lane with
Hansen taking second, Tanner Powers in third and Dylan Book in fourth.
Pizza Ranch Stock Cars thundered on to the speedway and Chris Ullrich
grabbed the top spot as the drivers came up to speed on the dirt at Shelby
County Speedway. In an unusual caution plagued start, several cars came
together on the front stretch Adam Harman’s stock car rolling over and
landing on Todd Mabbitt’s hot rod. All drivers involved we found to be okay
but the red flag brought the racing to a stop, as wreckers worked to clear
the carnage. Back under green, Chris Ullrich continued to lead as Jeff
Anderson drove hard in second place, with damage to his front end and a
loose hood flapping. With four to go, Anderson was unable to hold it any
longer and spun out on the front stretch ending his night on the hook end of
a tow truck. Dustin Smith moved into his spot and drove hard to take Ulrich
and the checkered flag. Ullrich finished second, Tim Bengard third and Brian
Blessington in fourth.
The Budweiser Late Models rocketed onto the track with a growing field of 16
cars and as the green flagged dropped and the decibels jumped, Vance Tonak
took hold of the lead and looked to develop an uncatchable lead. Josh Most
dug in holding the third spot behind Vic Lovejoy before Lovejoy experienced
trouble with his Late Model Machine and took the hard left to the pits. Most
reeled in Tonak as they took the dance for first way out front before Most
took the lead. Most took the trip to O’Reilly Victory Lane with Tonak in
second, Don Beckstrum in third, Mel Zeitner in fourth and Corey Zeitner in
fifth.
Pitts Chiropractic Modifieds powered onto the track Shane Demey-Shields took
the lead and held on as challengers came on strong. Nate Caruth worked in
around him after a caution restart and Bub Lerette followed him to the
second spot. Jeff Jones pushed Demey-Shields back another spot as he powered
into third. Fans were on the edge of their seat during an exciting two lap
run down where Nate Caruth took the checkered flag with LeRette settling for
second, Jeff Jones third, Shane Demey-Shields and Dan McKeighan finishing
out the top five.
