Sherbon wins Steve Kirchner Memorial at LCS Solid Sport Mods
field signs in to honor former LCS B-Mod driver
By Dewain Hulett
DONNELLSON, Iowa (AUGUST 2, 2010) – With added money in the purse and lap
money on the line 27 IMCA Sport Mods signed in to compete for the Steve
Kirchner Memorial at Lee County Speedway, Friday.
Dylan Book drew the pole and led the first six laps, before eventual race
winner Josh Sherbon got around him to complete lap 7 with the lead. It
wasn’t over yet, however, as a group of cautions allowed Book to size up
Sherbon for the final restart.
As the field came to a restart for a green-white-checkered finish, Book
guessed nearly perfectly and took Sherbon’s inside into turn one and led lap
19. Sherbon did not give up though and retook the lead on the final circuit,
winning by a comfortable two car lengths at the stripe. Mike Shelton
finished third, while Derek Coleman was fourth and Mitch Higdon was fifth.
The Modified feature was a good one as well, as Jim Lynch picked up the win,
but not without a lot of excitement leading to the victory. Lynch started
11th and used the cushion up top to run where no one else was, as he came
through the field.
On lap 15 Lynch had caught third place running Rich Smith and as he tried to
pass on the high side the two got together and Lynch got hard into the
outside guardrail. As Smith attempted to recover he came into contact with
Brandon Rothzen who was running second and coming down the track to make a
run at the race leader Brand Savage. Rothzen spun bringing out the caution.
On the restart Lynch again went to the outside and flew past Smith and
Savage to take the lead and control the final six laps en route to the win.
Smith would settle for second, while Bill Roberts had a strong run up to
third. Dean McGee, Sr., continued his upsurge of late as well, finishing
fourth, while Rob Kirchner rounded out the top five.
Jason Cook dominated the final two-thirds of the IMCA Stock feature, after
passing Nathan Wood on lap six he led the rest of the way to get the win.
Wood finished second, followed by Matt Greiner, Cale Samberg and Corey
Strothman.
It was Family Motors night and Jake Wenig took his Family Motors Special to
victory lane, only to have the power plant claimed following the race.
Nonetheless, it was a good run for the youngest Wenig, who started 12th.
Matt Tucker followed Wenig for much of the final stages of the race,
including a couple restarts, but could not do anything with the race winner.
Third spot went to Dan Wenig, while Larry McConnell was fourth and Tanner
Thomann, fifth.
In the Wild Things feature, Jerry Ostby won his second straight feature, as
he passed CJ Loring on lap 10 of the 12 lap race to get the victory. Loring
would hold on for second, while Nick Wilkerson came to third, followed by
Gabe Harrison and Bill Michel.
This Friday, August 6, is Trump Trucks Night, as the Trump Trucks and Ideal
Ready Mix IMCA Late Model Drive for Five continues at Lee County Speedway,
with all six classes in action. It is also Pirate and Princesses night, so
kids dress up in your best Pirate or Princess attire and come take part in
all the fun activities, including a treasure hunt.
