| July 31, 2022

 

Columbus Junction, Iowa: A great crowd turned out on a beautiful night for racing at the 130th annual Louisa County Fair on Friday night. Larry Richardson gave the 88 race teams in attendance a great racing surface to race on, not only did the drivers use every inch of the track, they raced on the lower part of the levy on several occasions.

The Mincer Ford IMCA Stock Cars provide great racing every Friday and the the Fair race was no different as the 20 drivers in attendance provided the fans with an outstanding feature race. Scott Jordan led the race early as Jason Cook made his way to the front from a third row start. Cook was battling Jordan for the lead as 7th starting Dustin Griffiths joined the lead pack of cars. The lead packed swelled even more as Cayden Carter joined the front runners. The leaders were swapping positions as Griffiths worked off of he berm at the top side of the track and Cook and Carter worked the middle and the low side. All three were scored lap leaders as the race wound down. Griffiths was able to get to the checkers first by a car length ahead of Carter who just nipped Cook for second.

The Stewart & Sons Fuel IMCA Modified feature ran caution free on Friday night. Row 2 starter Kurt Kile moved out front early as he raced away from Derek Walker. The race was on for second as Mitch Way and Jarrett Brown both worked to the front and would wage a battle for second. Kile scored an impressive win as Way edged out Brown for second.

Shane Paris started in row three of the Huston Brothers Trucking IMCA Sportmod feature and quickly made his way to the front. Paris has been on a roll lately as the 17C team picked up their second win in as many nights. Paris took the lead form Shaun Slaughter and went on to score the feature win. Slaughter held on for second ahead of Colton Livezey, who advanced to the front from a fifth row start.

The CJ Auto Parts/NAPA Stores IMCA Hobby Stock feature win was a very popular one as Muscatine driver Cody Staley parked the 55 in victory lane. Staley took the lead from early leader Luke Phillips and went on to score the win ahead of Randy LaMar while Phillips crossed under the checkers in third.

The Midwest Towing IMCA Sport Compacts feature saw Chandler Fullenkamp lead early before a caution tightened the field for a restart. Shane Barnes took advantage of the restart and took the lead and raced on to the win ahead of Garrett Porter.
