By Jeremy Fox

Marshalltown, Iowa (May 22nd, 2015) – Memorial Day Weekend kicked off Friday Night at the Marshalltown Speedway. The racing action was not disappointing because the 79 cars signed in producing some amazing finishes.

Charlie Brown (Mod Lites), Austin Luellen (IMCA Hobby Stocks), Colby Heishman (IMCA Northern SportMods), Donavon Smith (IMCA Stock Cars) and Adam Larson (IMCA Modifieds) was all the winners on Midwest Liquid Systems and Salute to Military Night. Nick Thelen picked up the win in the Spectator Eliminators.

Before a lap was completed in the Mod Lites feature the caution came out when Cory Sauerman and Josh May got together, both were able to continue. On the restart, it was Charlie Brown out dueling Jason Whitehead for the lead. Charlie Brown continued to lead when the red flag came out when his brother Terry got upside down in turn two. Terry was okay but the night came to end meanwhile Charlie Brown held the top spot. Brown went on to take the win holding off Josh May after a caution with two to go. Mike Morrill, Randy Bryan and Cory Sauerman finished third through fifth.

Tim Barber grabbed the early lead in the Toby K’s Hideaway IMCA Hobby Stock feature but a caution came out shortly after when Brandon Pitts got sideways in turn four collecting Dustin Lynch and Dillon Million. Barber looked perfect out front until the caution came out just after lap four when Million spun in front of the leaders and Barber had no where to go. Luellen held on to take the win over Andy Hick by a car length. Eric Stanton finished third, Garrett Eilander was fourth and Dustin Elliott was fifth.

Colby Heishman fresh off his first career win earlier in the week, Heishman wrestled the lead away on lap one from Kevin Yearington in the IMCA Northern Sportmods 18 lap feature. Heishman was not letting anything hamper his successful week as he went on take the win over Jared Van Deest, Clint Luellen, Brandon Williams and Jayme Duinink.

Michael Bilyeu would lead the first lap in the Miller Lite IMCA Stock Cars feature before Trent Murphy took it away on lap two. Murphy saw a pair of cautions on lap five but that was not going to bother him however on lap nine, Donavon Smith worked his way to second. Smith took the lead away on lap ten but Murphy did not give up because Smith only edged out Murphy by a nose at the checkered. Steve Meyer was third, Michael Jaennette was fourth and Tyler Pickett was fifth.
Coors Light IMCA Modifieds feature was the final feature of the night and it was action packed. Scott Simatovich took the early lead and behind him they were going two and three wide. Simatovich saw Adam Larson, Joel Rust and Jimmy Gustin make it a four car battle up front. Rust grabbed the lead away on lap nine but it was Jimmy Gustin taking it away on lap 12. Gustin saw Adam Larson take the lead away on lap 13 and it was Larson making the left hand turn in to the winner’s circle.
