Mother Nature Shortens Mason City Races

Even though it was Father's Day on Sunday, Mother Nature was the one making all the noise. She made her presence known at around 6:45 between bmod heats, resulting in a lengthy delay before track officials and drivers worked the track back into racing condition. The heat races were run and three features were completed before she reared her ugly head again to postpone the rest of the show until next week.

Ken Winkowitsch started at the tail of the eleven-car junior hornet feature, but he quickly made his way to the front and won the race in convincing fashion. Gary Stahl made it look easy in the eight-car pro hornet feature.

Scott Dobel grabbed the lead early on in the hobby stock feature, but it didn't take Stac Schroeder long to get by on the outside. From there Schroeder had to hold off Mick Meyers on his way to the checkers. Scott Dobel was third, Terry Litwiler fourth, and Heath Tulp rounded out the top five.

The bmods, IMCA stock cars, and IMCA modifieds will run their features next week along with another complete show to follow. That will not be the next event, however, as this Wednesday the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) will be on hand for their inaugural stop at the big half-mile. Midwest 305 sprint cars are also scheduled for action, and things get kicked off with hot laps slated for 7pm. Be sure to check it out if you're in the area. Drivers like Kelly Shryock, Ryan Gustin, Al Hejna, and several others will be on hand to try to find their way to victory lane.

- Racing may be a hobby, but it's DEFINITELY addictive!!
