OSKALOOSA, Iowa (June 10) – The Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa, Iowa, was back in action Wednesday for another round of American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series battles, plus Kids Night presented by the Oskaloosa Herald with free candy and a nickel toss for the young race fans. After winning last week in the USRA Hobby Stock feature, Nathan Wood of Keswick had to start tenth Wednesday night but it was not enough to stop the 2007 American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series Hobby Stock national champion from claiming back-to-back wins at the Mahaska County Half-Mile Monster. Donavan Nunnikhoven of Kellogg cashed the runner-up paycheck, followed by Pulaski's Dale Porter, and Oskaloosa drivers Kris Walker and Steve Allen. The Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mods attracted the largest field of the night with 24 entries in the pit area looking to take home the special $700 top prize. In the end, it was teenage phenom Cayden Carter of Oskaloosa capturing the win with opening night winner Kevin Fee of Knoxville finishing second. Third through fifth, respectively, went to points leader Tyler Groenendyk of Oskaloosa, Carter VanDenBerg of Oskaloosa and Keswick's Andrew Schroeder. In the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Car main event, Shane Weller of Agency held off two-time defending track champion Matt Greiner of Washington for the victory. Third place went to Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon, Corey Stout of Oskaloosa was fourth and Brian Mitrisin of Oskaloosa rounded out the top-5 finishers. VanderBeek was batting .500 Wednesday night as he hopped out of his Stock Car and into his MUSCO Lighting USRA Modified and rolled right into victory lane. Points leader Brad Pinkerton of New Sharon grabbed second, with defending track champion Colt Mather of Webster winding up third. Fourth went to Oskaloosa veteran Ron Ver Beek with second-generation driver Scott Dickey of Packwood claiming fifth-place money. Next Wednesday, June 17, Racemart presents the first of several “Licensed to Thrill” special events at the Southern Iowa Speedway. Race fans from the town of Oskaloosa simply need to show their driver's license or i.d. card to get FREE admission to the grandstands and enjoy a full night of racing action on the house! On the racing card will be the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series featuring MUSCO Lighting USRA Modifieds, USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks.
