Jackson
Minnesota (August 1, 2009) It was another perfect night for racing action at
the ASA Sanctioned Jackson Speedway for Bank Midwest of Jackson and The Pub of
Wallingford race night. It was also Hall of Fame night as three more

Fame.

Two
different drivers led in the 20-lap Sprint Car feature race. At the start
it was Ryan Voss, Okoboji IA, getting the early lead from his front row
starting spot. Mark Toews, Spirit Lake IA, would get the second spot with
Wade Nygaard the third position. The leaders raced in this order for the
first two laps when Nygaard got around Toews for second. He then set his
sights on Voss and in three laps was able to make the pass for the lead
coming out of turn four. Voss would slip back to the second spot as Toews
ran third. On lap nine Toews moved into second getting around Voss. As the
leaders completed the ninth lap the yellow flag came out when both Gordy
Vogelaar, Worthington MN, and Ryan Voss came to a stop in turn two. On the
restart Nygaard was able to keep the field behind as Toews raced in second
and Shawn Van Wyhe, Rock Rapids IA, ran third. On lap sixteen Van Wyhe
would challenge Toews for second but was unable to make the pass. Wade
Nygaard would go on to take the win. He was followed by Mark Toews, Bill
Boles, Harris IA, Casey Heser, Jackson MN, and Jerry Richert, Jr., Forest
Lake MN. Heat races were won by Nate Eakin, Milford IA, and Mark Toews.
The
305 Sprint car feature race saw three different leaders. At the start it
was Mike Blomstrom, Ft. Dodge IA, getting the early lead with Bruce
Anderson, Trimont MN, getting the second spot and Frank Phipps, Everly
getting third spot. At the end of lap one Anderson would pass Blomstrom for
the lead coming out of turn four. On the fifth lap the red flag came out
when something on the rear end of Blomstroms car broke forcing him into
Wiese who ended up flipping several times off of turn two. Both drivers
were ok but done for the night. On the restart Anderson kept the field
behind him but only for one lap as Frank Phipps made the move for the lead
coming out of turn two. Phipps led the remaining laps and went on to take
the win. He was followed by Bruce Anderson, Jeff Edgington, Sioux Falls SD,
and Curt Thurmer, Jackson MN. The heat race was won by Frank Phipps.
Three
different drivers led in another action packed IMCA Stock Car feature race.

four. On the complete restart, Gary Mattison, Lamberton MN, got the early
lead with Brice Bodle, Wallingford IA, in second and Jim Larson, Rushmore
MN, third. At the end of the first lap the yellow flag came out when Jeff
McCallum, Mankato MN, came to a stop on the front straightaway. On the
restart, Mattison held the lead but for only one lap as Brice Bodle moved
into the lead. Two laps later, Ken Tietz would challenge Mattison for
second and get the position on lap five. Bodle would maintain the top spot
but would be challenged just past the half way point by Tietz. On lap
eleven Tietz would get around Bodle for the lead, while Jeffrey Larson,
Lakefield MN, Jerry Coopman, Mankato MN, and Jake Master, Graettinger IA,
all battled for the third spot. When the checkered flag flew it was Ken
Tietz picking up the win followed by Brice Bodle, Jake Masters, Jeffrey

early lead. Dieter would lead through the first five laps of the race
surviving one restart. On lap six, Kyle Steuber got the lead coming out of
turn two. On the next lap Dieter would regain the lead again coming out of
turn two, but again Steuber would pass Dieter back again coming out of turn
four for the lead. Kyle Steuber would hold the field off through one more
restart and go on to take the win. He was followed by Dan Paplow, Dundee
MN, Nick Dieter, Greg Sidles, Emmetsburg IA, and Matthew Looft, Swea City
IA. Heat race winners were Kyle Steuber and Dan Paplow.
Three
different drivers led in the 12-lap Hobby Stock feature event. At the
start, Chad Carlson, Ormsby MN, got the early lead with Jason Andrews,
Okabena MN, getting the second spot. Andrews would get the lead on the
second lap putting Carlson back to second. Andrews would lead for the next
several laps as Dustin Larson was working his way up through the field. On
lap six Larson would make the pass and take the lead. The next lap though
it was a three car race for the lead as Larson was challenged by Andrews and
Dan Strandberg, Worthington MN. Larson however would maintain the lead and
