Marshalltown Speedway held its regular weekly racing program on Friday night, along with the Central Iowa Fair. Two drivers kept their winning streaks going as Kaden Reynolds rolled to another win in the IMCA Hobby Stock division, as did Dillon Raffurty in the IMCA STARS Mod Lites. Dallon Murty took home the $1,000 Stock Car special, Jenae Gustin found her way to Victory Lane in the IMCA Northern Sport Mods, Tom Berry claimed the win in the IMCA Modified class, and the IMCA Sport Compacts joined the regular classes with Adam Gates taking that victory.

The IMCA Sport Compacts made one of several of their scheduled appearances at the High Banks and it was Adam Gates from Marion taking home the win in the 12-lap feature event. John Gill started 10th and chased Gates for most of the race, but had to be content with the runner-up position. Third went to Dalton Sowers, Cristian Grady — who had won back on July 2 — started ninth and took fourth, and fifth went to 12th-place starter Kolby Sabin, a winner back on June 4.

The IMCA STARS Mod Lites were up next for their 15-lap feature event. Dillon Raffurty (Kansas City, Mo.) started ninth, but by lap three had the lead. From there he never looked back, taking his fourth feature win in a row. David Raffurty made the haul from Kansas City too, and finished in second place. Josh May took third, followed by Randy Bryan in fourth, and Ben George in fifth.

It was a popular win in the IMCA Northern SportMods as Jenae Gustin pretty much dominated this one. Gustin started fourth and had the lead by lap two. Several yellows were no hinderance for Gustin as she motored home, taking the comfortable win. There was a dogfight behind Gustin in the closing laps with Johnathon Logue taking the runner-up spot over Kyle Olson in third place, Kalin Lopez scored fourth and Austin Schrage was fifth. This was Gustin’s first win of the season.

The IMCA Hobby Stocks went 15 laps for their feature event. Tenth-place starter Kaden Reynolds caught early race leader William Klosterman and flew into the lead by lap two. It was Reynolds’ race from there as he pulled away from the rest of the field to take the easy win. Following a distant second was Aaron Martin, who had started 11th, Solomon Bennett came all the way from 18th starting spot to finish third, Tom Killen was fourth, and Brooklyn, Iowa’s Rick Kriegel took fifth after starting 19th. This marked Reynolds’ fifth straight feature win, plus three more in the early season, as well as winning the Frostbuster.

It was $1,000-to-win presented by Toby K’s Hideaway in the IMCA Stock Cars in a draw/redraw show. There was a lot of close racing in its 25-lap feature with Austin Kaplan leading the early charge. He was quickly challenged by Michael Jaennette however, with Jaennette taking over that top spot on lap six. Sixth-place starter Dallon Murty threw his hat into the ring as he moved into third place. It was quite a show between Jaennette, Kaplan, and Murty as they duked it out lap after lap.

Murty finally established his claim to second place at lap 14 and began his assault on Jaennette. Murty ran the high line and then the low line as he sought what would work, and finally with just three laps remaining got it to work, taking the lead. A yellow flew late in the race, setting up a green-white-checkered finish with Jaennette hoping to get the upper hand on the restart. It wasn’t to be however, as Murty took the win, Jaennette having to settle for second. Visiting racer Shelby Williams out of Bonham, Texas, was hard charger, coming from 18th starting spot to finish third. Fourth went to early leader Kaplan, and 10th-place starter Tyler Pickett rounded out the top five. This was Dallon Murty’s fourth feature win of the regular season, and he also won the Frostbuster special.

Last year’s IMCA Modified track champion and defending IMCA National champion Tom Bery made his presence known once again at the High Banks, as he piloted his new ride to victory. Berry started sixth and overtook early leader Drew Janssen on lap nine, and then never looked back. Zach Rawlins ran up front the entire race and took home a third-place finish. Dylan Thornton came on strong in the closing laps and finished fourth, and Thor Anderson completed the top five.

Next Friday night, July 23, is Casey’s and Rumours Bar and Grill salute to Marshalltown Law Enforcement. The green flag drops at 7:30 p.m.
