SHELBY COUNTY SPEEDWAY RACE SEASON HEATS UP
By Shannon Lowe
HARLAN, IA (August 2) - KNOD Kool Gold Sport Compacts kicked off the feature
racing at Shelby County Speedway with some excitement when David Knoell, Sr.
slid as he drove through turns one and two causing a multicar collision
including a late hit by Cory Kyle which had Kyle’s car over on its top. The
restart had David Knoell, Jr. bringing the pack up to speed with cars
stacked five wide under the flag stand. Tom Kat Summerfield grabbed hold of
the lead with Troy Knoell racing behind him in second as Jaime Mahlberg and
Bryan Smith battled for third. Mahlberg held the edge to bring home third
behind Tom Summerfield who won the trophy, Troy Knoell in second. Bryan
Smith finished fourth followed by David Knoell in fifth.
Country Tire Hobby Stocks take the drop of the green flag at Shelby County
Speedway with more luck. Jason Kohl of Missouri Valley took the early lead
but Chuck Madden drove hard and as they raced toward the halfway point,
Madden looked to challenge low as he exited turn two, but a caution reset
the pack handing the lead back over to Kohl and placing Chuck Madden side by
side with Shannon Anderson for the restart. Anderson moved high to slingshot
past both Madden and Kohl, but Madden grabbed hold of Anderson’s rear bumper
and held on as the race behind them got red hot with Jason Fusselman, Adam
Hensel and Joel Tigges challenging Kohl. Adam Hensel dropped back from the
challenge as Madden also dropped off and took the hard left into the pits
handing the race over to Anderson who finished unchallenged followed by
Jason Kohl, Joel Tigges, Jason Fusselman and Corey Madden.
Willard Auto Machine Sport Mods took the glassy track on the high banks of
Shelby County Speedway and Mike Pruitt hurried out to the early lead as
Dylan Book wove his way through traffic on his way to the front. Book worked
his way into second and whittled the distance to Pruitt taking the lead from
the high lane with nine laps to go. Book drove uncontested to take the white
flag as he worked into lap traffic before an untimely caution brought the
pack up for a green white checkered run down. Book maintained his lead to
take the double checkered flags followed by Mike Pruitt, Jim Lampe, David
Hulsebus and Jesse Sobbing
Pizza Ranch Stock Cars brought the competition on the dirt up a notch with
racing three wide through every corner. Allan Schmidt took off with the lead
as behind him Kenny Hansen, Bill Osbahr and Dustin Smith raced hard, trading
places in the second, third and fourth spots. Smith and Osbahr used a
restart to dig in and pass Schmidt with Osbahr using the high side and Smith
the low lane. Keith Knop and Jeff Anderson rushed to make their move and
leapt past Osbahr into the second and third spots as Hansen drove into
fifth. Anderson and Knop kept pace with one another as lap after lap ticked
by leaving Smith to take the victory. Anderson finished second, followed by
Knop, Osbahr and Hansen.
Mark Plowman led the Budweiser Late Models out on the speedway but Josh Most
worked his wide bodied hot rod through traffic and around Plowman as the
race behind him began to spread out. Jay Stewart had trouble holding on to
the slick track and slid his car sideways in turn two but gathered the car
back up and drove hard to make up the spots he lost as the race stayed under
the green flag. Most picked up the win followed by Mark Plowman, Jeff
Segebart, Jay Stewart and David Livingston.
Twenty one cars took the green flag in the Pitts Chiropractic Modified
feature race and a pack of number 2 race cars battle for the lead with Dale
Ransom and Dan Rhiley holding the top spots as Big Red Monson traveled the
extreme high side looking to make up some ground a few spots behind them.
Dangerous Dale Ransom found a good line and took the lead from Rhiley and
Rhiley washed up the track nearly knocking Monson over the edge on the west
end of the track. Monson held on as Rhiley fell back. Monson continued to
use the high side of the track to slash at the lead Ransom held. From deep
in the pack Nick Deal began to work his way forward but with the pack
spreading out around the track, his progress was slow. With four laps to go,
trouble on Monson’s machine had him headed to the pits and Dale Ransom ran
the remaining laps unchallenged followed by Shane Demey, Nick Deal, Scott
Carlson, and Robert Tippery.
WAM Performance Parts Sport Mods ran their King of the Hill races with eight
cars qualified for the head to head, tournament style race. Jesse Sobbing
knocked Mike Pruitt out in round one and Jim Lampe out in round two. On the
other end of the bracket, Dennis Cook took on Dylan Book in round one and
Cook moved into round two to face off with Dylan Peterson before moving into
the championship round. Dennis Cook won the crown in the final round.
Next week Shelby County Speedway features the Dwight Wrich Memorial and Fan
appreciation night. Fans will find grandstand tickets at the gate priced at
only $5! Gates open at 5pm with hot laps at 6:15 and racing will be underway
at 7 pm.
