Blattler, Wood, Carter, Kirkland ride to victory during Southern Iowa Fair presented by KBOE Radio

 

OSKALOOSA, Iowa (July 21) – The Southern Iowa Fair presented by KBOE Radio was in full swing Wednesday night and the Southern Iowa Speedway brought the action with another wild night of the American Racer USRA Weekly Racing Series.

 

Steven Blattler of Oskaloosa took the lead away from polesitter Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon and bested a tough field of Musco USRA Modifieds to take the checkered flag. USMTS king Kelly Shryock of Fertile settled for the runner-up spot, VanderBeek held on for third, Corning’s Ryan Peckham was fourth and Josh Truman of Indianaola rounded out the top-5 finishers.

 

While short on entries, the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars are never short on excitement at the Mahaska County Monster. Keswick’s Nathan Wood came from the sixth starting spot to take his second win in a row, holding off Agency’s Shane Weller at the finish line. Mike Van Genderen of Newton was third, while Oskaloosa pilots Kyle Harwood and Corey Stout finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

 

Cayden Carter of Oskaloosa got a bit of redemption Wednesday night in winning the Cater’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mod main event after being disqualified after last week’s runner-up finish. Last week’s winner, Jason Mcdaniel of Eldon, was this week’s runner-up. Knoxville’s Bill Gibson was third, Carter Van Den Berg of Oskaloosa was fourth and Mike Wanders of Keswick snagged the fifth position.

 

Derek Kirkland of Centerville took another step toward his first track championship at Osky with a win in the USRA Hobby Stock feature race. Todd Reitzler of Grinnell earned the runner-up paycheck, Kris Walker of Oskaloosa was third, Steve Allen of Oskaloosa finished fourth and Eldon’s Craig Brown wound up fifth.

 

Another round of Wild Wednesday night racing action is on tap next Wednesday, July 28. Musco USRA Modifieds, USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks will make up the racing card that boasts the cream of the crop in machinery and talent in the Hawkeye State.

 

With 21 or more entries, the winner of the Musco USRA Modified main event will pocket $1,000 with a minimum $100 to each starter. USRA Stock Cars will race for $400 to win and $75 to start, while both the Carter’s Manufacturing USRA B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks will battle for $300 to win and $60 to start.

 

There is no entry fee, no driver registration fee and this attendance bonus will continue throughout the 2010 season.

 

Pits will open at 5 p.m., grandstands open at 5:30, hot laps begin at 7:15 and the first heat race starts at 7:30. General admission grandstand tickets are just $8 for adults, $3 for kids ages 6-12 and pit passes are $25. Children ages 5 and under are always admitted free of charge.
