ODESSA, MO. (April 25) - Despite cold temperatures and very soft
spring clay on I-70 Speedway's dirt track there was a full field of IMCA
registered racers on hand and the 1/3 mile track was very fast under the new
Musco lights. The IMCA National Stock Car Champion was on his way to I-70
from Harlan, Ia. The Missouri drivers ran their heats without him. The Iowa
driver started in the rear of the feature and battled his way to another
I-70 IMCA victory. Heat winners had been Thomas Roberts, Kidder, Mo. and
2007 track champion, Brad Whitney in Friday's IMCA Stock Car competition.
The IMCA Modified feature saw P.J. Conger repeat his dominating heat race
win former Late Model ace charging to a second place feature finish ahead of
Mike Tanner.
The Sport Mod feature was handed somewhat to John Boller, Jr. as Odessa
driver led every lap until a bump and grind session with Royce Stanley
resulted in a DNF and a DQ for them. Jeremiah Asher of St. Joseph had won
the first heat and Bobby Penney had won the 2nd, his first win on dirt!
I-70's "fun" divisions, Sport Compacts and the Farm Trucks had action filled
feature finishes with Justin Marrant taking his first ever feature win and
Tom Corum his second!
Racing resumes Saturday evening with I-70's Extreme Sprints and Show Me
Vintage race cars on the dirt. The first weekly pavement show kicks things
off at 6 pm. More information is available at www.i70speedway.net
