Track champions named at Marshalltown Speedway

The Marshalltown Speedway hasn’t had a good track record of good weather nights this season, and the finale fell to wet grounds after more than three inches of rain fell on Thursday.

Races were washed out for the ninth time this season, cancelling the final points night at the track. Track champions were instead determined by their point standings, as not just winning but consistency paid off for the drivers.

The IMCA Modified track champion is Ronn Laurtizen. Lauritzen won the title with only one feature win this season, that coming back on July 23. But consistency was a key to his winning the crown.

The IMCA Stock Car title went to Tyler Pickett. He won his championship without a single feature win but by finishing in the top five week in and week out.

The IMCA Northern SportMod track championship goes to Austin Schrage. Schrage put his ride into Victory Lane the final two race nights, but he also had regular top finishes throughout the season in claiming his first-ever track championship title.

The IMCA Hobby Stock track championship was won easily by Kaden Reynolds. Reynolds put an exclamation point on his season by winning 11 weekly races.

Josh May took the first-ever track title for the newly sanctioned IMCA Mod Lites at Marshalltown. Consistency was the name of the game for May also, winning by 79 points though with just one win.

The Marshalltown Speedway still has racing scheduled until it falls silent in 2021. Next Friday, September 3, is the Showdown at MoTown. The IMCA Modifieds, Stock Cars, Northern SportMods, Hobby Stocks, STARS Mod Lites, plus the Karl Chevrolet Dirt Trucks, are on tap.

Closing out the season, the World Nationals will be held on Sept. 16-18.
