Chesmore, Christians capture Tuesday Stock Car qualifiers at Super Nationals

 

BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 8) – Norman Chesmore and Jeremy Christians topped 25-lap qualifying features Tues day at Boone Speedway, on night two of the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals.

 

The top five finishers from both races advance to Saturday’s main event. All 10 drivers have been to the big dance before but only one has won it, Brian Blessington in 2001. They’ll return to the track during Wednes day’s show to decide the starting order of the middle row.

 

Justin Temeyer, David Smith, Chad Estes and Dustin Vis finished behind Chesmore. Smith joins brothers Donavon and Dustin in the Saturday show. Estes qualified from the 17th starting spot while Vis drove all the way from 23rd.

 

Christians raced his way to the front from the seventh starting spot, holding off pole starter Brandon Czara pata in a tussle that went back and forth as the laps counted down.

 

Blessington, Mike Nichols and Chris Ullrich rounded out the top five.

 

Their upcoming main event appearances will be the career ninth for both Blessington and Christians.

 

Smith is in for the seventh time, Nichols for the sixth, Czarapata, Estes and Temeyer each for the fifth, Vis for the fourth, and Chesmore and Ullrich both for the second.
