WINSTON, MO (May 23, 2015) – In the first of two make-up features for May 16 2015 the Grand Nationals were the first to attempt to tame the three-eighths mile of dirt at I-35 Speedway.   Buz Kaster #54 would wheel his way to the front surpassing all challengers on his way to claiming the night’s victory.  Kaster would be challeneged late by the hot pursuit of Austin Johnson #98, who would fall short at the line and be forced to settle for second place.  Donnie Brown #26 would be the hard charger of the feature by coming from deep in the pack to finish third.  Marty Powell #9p would have mechanical issues late to finish fourth while Houston Johnson #97 would also suffer mechanical troubles and be forced to pull off the track and placed fifth.

In the second make up feature the Hobby Stocks would only see one caution for the race with Greg Gilbert #23g continuing his winning ways by taking the top spot.  Gilbert would lead every lap on his way to victory but was challenged early and often by a very fast Conner Masoner #47x, who would go on to place second.  Carson Masoner #13x would spin early only to make an amazing comeback through the pack to place a very solid third.  Chris Onstot #20c and John Willard #1/2cr would battle door to door for the majority of the feature with Onstot gaining the advantage in the latter stages to place fourth leaving Willard in fifth.

Next to take to the track were the E-Mods with a growing number of cars in attendance.  Racing was hot and heavy throughout the pack with Jeremiah Asher #02xj leading the majority of the race challeneged late by Randy Smith Jr #26j.  With contact between Asher and Smith in the last corner of the last lap John Brown #36j would slip past both and claim the night’s victory.  Heat race winner Asher would go on to finish second as Kit Bailey #77 would place third.  Jon Boller III #20x and Austin Bouzek #14 would switch positions throughout the race with Boller placing fourth and Bouzek fifth.  Other heat race winner was Dustin Lawrence #51.

Back in action for the second time in the evening the Grand Nationals would see Houston Johnson #97 emerging victorious.  Heat race winner Donnie Brown #26, who would lead early, would slide high in turn one allowing Johnson to get by him and pick up the win.  Brown would regain control and mount a charge back to the front only to place second.  Austin Johnson #98 would recover from an early race mishap to finish third, with Buz Kaster #54 fourth.  In his first visit to I-35 Speedway and first time behind the wheel of a Grand National Jeff Elder #7 would show true talent by rounding out the feature’s top five.

In the second feature for the Hobby Stocks Mich Ross #34 would use the extreme high line to race past the two front runners to pick up his first feature win of the 2015 racing season.  Chris Onstot #20c again would show poise and steadiness notching a solid second place finish.  Heat race winner John Willard #1/2cr would hold off the always fast Greg Gilbert #23g to place third with Gilbert fourth.  Point leader Tyler Clark #0x continues his consistent ways by placing fifth.  Other heat race winner was Conner Masoner #47x.

Then the skies opened up and the rains came ending the night’s great racing action.  Make-up dates for the remaining features will be determined at a later date.  Special thank you to DX racing’s Mich Ross, Billie Hoover, Holden Schultz, and John Hanson for their donation of FOUR bicycles making some kids very happy.  Congratulations to Camden Mossburg, Caleb Dixon, Cara Pittsenbarger, and Bristol Hicks on winning the bikes.  We would like to thank everyone for coming out and supporting I-35 Speedway.  See you next week for more exciting “Dirt Trackin at its Best”.
