Sports Park Raceway returns with Elliott, Masters, Caudle, Stanton, Bryant on top
After a one-week hiatus, the Sports Park Raceway returned to action Friday for Round 4 of the Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series at the half-mile clay oval located just south of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Friday night’s action saw Dennis Elliott of Mt. Ayr make the long trip north to collect the top prize in the USRA Modifieds. Devon Havlik of Iowa Falls finished second, followed by Chase Ellingson of Williams, Jacob Murray of Hartford and points leader Duke Erickson of Sioux Falls, S.D.
Always an exciting division, the American Racer USRA Stock Cars saw a new winner too with Jake Masters of Graettinger holding off Bill Crimmins of Fort Dodge for the win. Travis Shipman of Mason City was third, Humboldt’s Calvin Lange finished fourth and Jeff Lyon of Duncombe rounded out the top five.
Masters took home an extra $100 from Pingel Tyre & Auto Centre in Fort Dodge for his efforts.
Rocky Caudle of Ellsworth picked up the USRA B-Mod main event victory with hard-charging Ty Griffith of Webster City taking runner-up honors after starting 12th on the grid. Jason Bass of Fort Dodge, Levi Chipp of Latimer and ninth-starting Jared Timmerman of Norwalk completed the top three.
Caudle earned an extra $100 from Rees Truck & Trailer and another $100 from Platinum Construction & Demo for the win. Superfan Bob VanEvery and his fiancé added $20 the race’s Hard Charger Award in the USRA B-Mod class.
Defending national champ Eric Stanton of Carlisle roared from the eighth starting spot to take the win in the Pickett Salvage USRA Hobby Stocks. Daniel Ayers of Webster City was second, Drew Barglof of Sioux Rapids took third, fourth went to Tyson Overton of Carlisle and polesitter John Ades of Rippey held on for fifth.
Mitch Frank with On The Go Lock & Key in Fort Dodge padded the USRA Hobby Stock purse with an extra $100 Friday night. Drivers finishing fifth through eighth each got $25.
USRA Tuner action saw former USRA national champion Ryan Bryant of Mason City get the win over Jade Lange of Humboldt while Matt Oberhelman of Fort Dodge took home third-place money. The rest of the top five were Marshalltown’s John Gill and Michael Heun of Manson.
