Lee County Speedway

Donnellson, IA

Sprint Invaders

25 cars

Heat one (started): 1. Dustin Selvage 7 (1) 2. Jordan Goldesberry 65 (4) 3. Nick Eastin 22x (7) 4. Matt Sutton 3 (6) 5. Skip Jackson 1m (5) / 6. Jimmy Davies 99 (2) 7. Matt Harms 53H (3) 8. Ryan Jamison 51J (8) 9. Gary Bonar 97x (9)

Selvage led the distance in the 10 lapper. The top two went to the dash, with the top five going to the A. Jamison and Bonar exited on lap five. The best battle for position was between Sutton and Jackson. When Jackson tried to shoot by Sutton on the low side at the halfway point for fifth, Sutton deliberately turned down into the 1m, making contact. The pair sailed around Davies on the final lap to transfer, with Jackson making a last ditch effort to slide Sutton.

Heat two (started): 1. John Schulz 2 (4) 2. Russ Hall 29x (7) 3. Lauren Densley 00 (6) 4. Bart Andrews 9x (8) 5. Brian Stansberry 70 (3) / 6. Daniel Avery 18A (1) 7. Travis Porter 31P (2) 8. Tyler Thompson 48 (5)

Before a lap could be completed, Thompson slammed the turn four wall, doing wing and right rear damage. On the next try, Porter launched on top of the turn two fence, scraped along it, and landed on all fours beyond the guardrail. He was o.k., but done for the night. Avery elected to start at the tail handing the pole to Stansberry. Schulz moved to the front row with the absence of Porter and sailed to lead the duration. Stansberry was lapped by the leader, but made the final transfer.

Heat three (started): 1. Jeff Mitrisin 10 (1) 2. Korey Weyant 99w (2) 3. Bobby Mincer 15 (7) 4. Kaley Gharst 3* (5) 5. Josh Schneiderman 49 (3) / 6. Lance Gullo 3G (4) 7. Rager Phillips 14P (6) 8. Matt Rogerson 29 (8)

Rogerson flipped wildly on the first try at green, launching over the turn one wall and few rows into the corn. It was his first night on a J&J. Mitrisin destroyed the stout field, once the race got underway. Gullo stopped on lap six, bringing out a yellow. The restart saw Mitrisin ahead of Weyant, Mincer, Gharst and Schneiderman. That would be how they finished. Phillips suffered motor problems and scratched for the night.

Dash (started): 1. Selvage (2) 2. Schulz (4) 3. Hall (6) 4. Mitrisin (3) 5. Goldesberry (1) 6. Weyant (5)

Selvage led flag to flag in the six lapper. Hall ran well, moving up three spots from the tail. Selvage drew a four, putting him outside row two for the A.

A main (started): 1. Mitrisin (1) 2. Eastin (7) 3. Mincer (9) 4. Sutton (10) 5. Gharst (12) 6. Weyant (3) 7. Hall (6) 8. Jackson (13) 9. Selvage (4) 10. Goldesberry (2) 11. Schneiderman (15) 12. Schulz (5) 13. Jamison (20) 14. Harms (19) 15. Andrews (11) 16. Thompson (21) 17. Densley (8) 18. Davies (16) 19. Gullo (18) 20. Stansberry (14) 21. Avery (17) 22. Bonar (22) DNS – Porter, Phillips, Rogerson

Mitrisin had no peer in the 25 lapper. The way around was the cushion, with not much to grip at all on the bottom. Goldesberry tailed the leader, but was a ½ lap behind by lap 15, when Weyant took second from him. Eastin entered the fray and was pressuring Weyant by a lap 20 caution for debris from the wing of Gullo. By that time, Mitrisin's lead was over ½ lap, he had lapped up to 10th place, and he restarted with 7 lapped cars between himself and Weyant, Eastin, Hall, Mincer and Selvage. Eastin moved by Weyant for second in dense lapped traffic, as eight cars behind decisive winner, Mitrisin battled for position amongst lapped traffic. The five green flag laps after the restart saw Mincer, Sutton and Gharst move into the top five. Gharst and Jamison both moved by seven cars to claim hard-charger honors.

Thanks Bill, once again it's nice to get home and find out what Really took place.

Hey W - did this help a little with the PKND (Post Knoxville Nationals Depression) at all??

It was a little bit of a let down for me Friday night at The Grove. Then when the dust started to roll during hot laps, it was really a downer.

.

It was therapeutic to be sure Skinner...the Triple 20's at the Grove would have done the same for me, dust or no...

Bill Dubya, good to see you at Lee County and thanks for the coverage. The racing at Lee County was very good again. A lot of passing that makes it exciting for the fans. Good to see Mark and Skip there too. Great job to my nephew Nick Eastin in the 22x, 7th to 2nd. Congratulations to Jeff and the 10 crew. Bill G

How much corn was destroyed??

hey andrew if you seen the flip. And were really thinking of how much corn was destroyed rather than the fact a driver was in the car laying upside down. Which is the real issue in all racing accidents. Please take into account the drivers families friends amd fans, before making such remarks ! CARS. CORN, BILLBOARDS ETC. cann be replaced drivers cannot.

well said wingy

LETS RACE BOYS

dont know if it was well said just a fact. Lee County Speedway

Andrew didn't mean anything by what he said. I asked Matt afterwards how much the farmer would expect from him! I should have mentioned in my report that Matt was shaken but o.k...

My heart skipped a few beats...

He's not gettin any younger... but still tough as nails

Porter's ride in the 31P didn't appear to be as violent from my vantage point... but after I got over there I could see how he got his bell rung.

Two of 'em out of the park in HEAT races makes for some concern on what the rest of the night will bring.

Bill W. is correct, I didnt mean for it to get taken out of context like it did. I was just poking a bit of fun at Bill W. and his report. They are all very accurate, and I was just kidding with him about being so accurate with his report that he mentioned the corn in it!

guess i was out of line guys sorry as a friend of matts i just got a lil upset about the corn worries sounds like all the fields in the area are expecting record crops so whats a few buschel. MY APPOLIGES !
