Spectator Eliminator Steals the Show
by: Blake Anderson

MARSHALLTOWN, IA (June 25, 2010) – The most entertaining part of the night was saved for last on Friday night at the Marshalltown Speedway.  Spectator Eliminator proved to be extremely popular with the fans, so popular that Promoter Toby Kruse is bringing it back on July 23^rd!   23 cars entered and Ivan Guerra walked away with the title.

Joel Huggins led the first 12 laps of the Modlite Dwarf Car feature and Josh May used the highline of the racetrack to track down Huggins.  May made the winning pass off of turn 4 on lap 13 to add another win on the year.  Joel Huggins finished 2^nd, Tim Hennigar 3^rd and Mike Morrill 4^th.  Heat race winners were Jeff Stensland and Josh May.

In the Big 8 Tyre Center SportMods Tom Rawlins paced the field for the first 5 laps and then a flat tire sidelined him.  Fred Leytham inherited the lead and never looked back to pick up the win.  His son Gaitlin ended up 2^nd, Kyle Brown 3^rd and Carter VanDenBerg 4^th.  Gaitlin Leytham, Cayden Carter, Jenae Gustin and Zack Rawlins each won heat races.

The Stock Cars once again put on a fantastic show as there were 4 different drivers to lead a lap.  Tommy Thompson led the first lap and then Jeff Wollam took the lead and led laps 2-10.  Point’s leader Dustin Smith led laps 10-16 and then got a flat tire and Trent Murphy led the last 2 laps to win his 3^rd feature of the year at Marshalltown.  Heat race winners were Trent Murphy, Dustin Smith and Jeff Wollam.

The Meskwaki Casino and Hotel Modified feature had 3 different drivers lead a lap during the 20 lap main event.  Josh Gilman led the first 3 laps and then Scott Simatovich took the lead until lap 8.  Brett Ladehoff led lap 9 and then had problems and pulled in. Simatovich then took the lead back and led the rest of the way to pick up his 2^nd win of the year at Marshalltown.  Josh Gilman was 2^nd, Jon Snyder 3^rd and Mike O’Lear 4^th.  Josh Gilman, Brett Ladehoff and Adam Larson were heat race winners.

Gary Pfantz jumped out to the early lead and led the first 5 laps of the Junction Bar and Grill Hobby Stock feature event.  Tyler Pickett led lap 6 and then Devin Smith led laps 7 and 8 and then had a right rear tire go flat.  Todd Reitlzer took the lead and won his first feature of the year at Marshalltown. Tyler Pickett got 2^nd, Eric Knutson 3^rd and Gary Pfantz 4^th.  Heat race winners were Vince Buchholz, Eric Knutson, Terry Shaffar and Todd Reitzler.
