Bakker Wins His Second Sprint Car Showdown
Zebell and Overgaard Fendered Feature Winners


SIOUX CENTER, IOWA Initially the weatherman had some worried that rain would dampen the running of the 9th Annual Mouw Motor Company Sprint Car Showdown. Thankfully the dire forecasts evolved into a hot and humid evening and the Sioux County Youth Fair was able to roar to life once more. The T&R Contracting Late Model Street Stock Touring Series took to the track first for their feature event. The always quick Cory Yeigh from Sioux Falls looked like the man to beat early as he took his #64 machine from the second row and built a commanding lead. It was not to be as an incident in turn two and contact with the guardrail ended his night behind a wrecker. That gave an opportunity to the rest of the field and JJ Zebell from Parker, SD drove from his last place starting position to pick up the win. Behind the #29Z of Zebell was Jim Pruett from Brandon, SD in car #97 in second. Past Sioux Speedway feature winner Travis Schreurs came home third in car #1 with Hobby Stock racer Dustin Gulbrandson finishing fourth in his cousin Cory Yeigh’s back up car, #54. Rounding out the top five was Brylee Gough from Crooks, SD in #83x.

The Stock Car division took to the track next. Twenty years ago, 1998, marked the return of Stock Car racing events to Sioux Speedway as we now know it. During the 1998 Sioux County Youth Fair, Chad Overgaard won the Enduro race and Darrin Korthals was the inagural winner in the Street Stock division. As maybe something of a bookend, both of these racers saw action in the 2018 Sioux County Youth Fair Stock Car feature. Overgaard had the fortune of drawing a front row starting spot. The driver from Luverne, MN was able to take advantage and jump out to the early lead. As the race went on, the battle for second was an old fashioned slugfest with Randy Brands, Stefan Sybesma, and Darrin Korthals in on the action. Korthals made his way up to second, but as soon as that happened he pulled off with mechanical issues. Brands then went on a mission and caught Overgaard’s #42 car. With just a couple of laps to go, it looked as if Brands may have had the muscle to challenge Overgaard, but it looked as if a rough spot in the track off of turn two hindered his progress. Overgaard was the victor, his third in the Street Stock/Stock Car division, but the first one since he doubled up during the Sioux County Youth fair in 2000. Brands from Boyden, IA came home second in #27. Stefan Sybesma from Sanborn was third in #5B, Orange City ‘s Mel Elsberry was fourth in his #5E car followed by fellow Orange Cityian Brad TeGrotenhuis #268.

As the Property Solutions of America Midwest Sprint Touring Series took to the track it was evident that storms were finally moving into the area from the Northwest. The weather, however, never became a factor by the time the checkerd flag flew. Drivers from South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and California were in attendance to battle for the 9th Annual Mouw Motor Company Sprint Car Showdown trophy. Gregg Bakker had won the 2nd Annual event in 2011 and found himself on the front row for the 2018 edition. The blue and white #11X car held strong at the front of the field. With two laps to go Oklahoma City, OK’s Wayne Johnson made his way to Bakker’s tail tank and looked to be waiting for the right moment to make his move around Bakker. That attempt was short lived; however, as a caution waved for a stalled car in turn four. On the restart Bakker, hailing from Sioux Falls, took off like a rocket and picked up his second Sprint Car showdown trophy. Johnson was second in his #2C car. Eric Lutz, also of Sioux Falls was third in the Scadden #6 car with Harwood, ND’s Lee Grosz, #4J, in fourth. Finishing up fifth in car #33M was Springville, CA’s Mason Daniels.
