Marolf, Zogg score Driver/Fan Appreciation Night wins

By Jerry Mackey WEST LIBERTY, Iowa (Aug. 12) – Saturday night’s races were run on a near-perfect evening with a large crowd in attendance for Driver/Fan appreciation night at West Liberty Raceway. When the final checkered flag of the night waved it was Nick Marolf celebrating his second consecu­tive Out Pace Racing Products Late Model win. Marolf took advantage of a lap 18 caution in taking the top spot away from race-long leader Dave Wada. Wada had built a comfortable lead but the caution brought Marolf to his rear bumper. After taking over the lead, Marolf shot to the high side and sailed on to the win. Justin Kay was able to work to the front from his 10th position start and take second ahead of Rob Moss. The Performance Concepts IMCA Modified feature saw Larry Herring get out front and appear on his way to the win before a caution on lap 15 brought the field to his rear bumper for the restart.

DeYoung tops Tri-City championship night show 

By Roger Williams AUBURN, Mich. (Aug. 11) – Myron DeYoung was the feature winner Friday night while Kody Johnson’s fifth-place finish netted him the unofficial Main Street Seed and Supply IMCA Modified crown at Tri-City Motor Speedway. Johnson came into the evening needing at least a top 10 finish to ensure the unofficial crown. Chaz Pray and Gavin Hunyady both had quietly successful and consistent seasons that had them in contention for a championship. Hunyady, who won the four-car dash, had to pit early in the first half of the 25-lap feature event to change a tire. He came through the 21-car field and finished a strong seventh. Mike Stevenson led the opening lap before Preston DeShano took his turn at the front. Pray was motoring his way into the top five before he slid off of turn two and into the water barrels, ending his night with a disappointing 19th place finish and ending his championship hopes. DeYoung made his way from 12th place to take the lead and eventually the race win. Chad Wernette [Read More]

Sachau wins Stuart’s Bones Memorial 

By Josh Reynolds STUART, Iowa (Aug. 11) – Jake Sachau was the $1,000 Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod winner at Stu­art Speedway’s Bones/Richard Welch Memorial Friday night. Josh Sink and Nelson drew the 1-2 chips to make up the front row. Colton Nelson led early over Sink and Doug Smith. Following a lap four restart it was Nelson, Austin Luellen and Hunter Longnecker at the front with Chase Rudolf and Jake Sachau battling it out for fourth. Sachau took that place on lap 10, then worked Longnecker over for third on lap 15. At this point it appeared Nelson was well on his way to the win but cautions came out on laps 22 and 24, the second yellow setting up a two-lap dash for the cash. Nelson led at the white flag but his car pushed severely and allowed Luellen to get up beside him. Mean­while, Sachau snuck it in on the bottom in turn three as Nelson pushed up the track again. Sachau squared off the corner and beat Nelson to the line to [Read More]
