Gustin family takes two feature races at Marshalltown

MARSHALLTOWN — Jenae Gustin and Richie Gustin had the right stuff on the track at Marshalltown Speedway Friday night. Both recorded their third win of the season in their respective divisions at Marshalltown.

The Speedway’s track was in shape to race despite 2.5 inches of rain that dropped on Marshalltown Thursday night and Friday morning.

Jenae Gustin started on the outside front row in the Big Eight Tyre Center IMCA Northern SportMods feature. She led all 18 laps of the race with only lap traffic slowing her pace at the end. Clint Luellen moved up six spots to finish second, Sam Wieben was third, Jared Van Deest fourth and Jake McBirnie fifth.

Richie Gustin worked his way from 12th to second behind early leader Jake Strayer in the IMCA Modifieds’ 20-lap feature race. Strayer, Gustin and Ronn Lauritzen battled for position Laps 16 through 20. Gustin made his move to the front on the white flag lap, and then held off a challenge by Lauritzen to win the race. Lauritzen ran second as Strayer fell back to third, Joel Rust was fourth and Adam Larson was fifth.

Josh May battled the field and a couple of caution flags to capture the Mod Lites 15-lap feature race. The final caution set up a six-lap dash. May stayed in front for his second win of the season. Charlie Brown came home second, Andy Hennigar third, Jimmy May fourth and Eric Hendrickson fifth.

The 12-lap IMCA Hobby Stocks feature went to Eric Stanton after slipping past Brice Udelhoven on Lap 10. Stanton, Udelhoven and John Watson battled up front most of the race. Stanton notched his fifth win of the season and fourth of the last five. Udelhoven, Watson, Garrett Eilander and Jason See rounded out the top five.

Michael Jaennette pulled away early in the IMCA Stock Cars’ 18-lap feature; behind him drivers raced three and four wide for position. The only caution and restart — on Lap 10 — was not kind to Jaennette. Donavon Smith got past Jaennette to win for the sixth time at Marshalltown. Jaennette, Tracy Gienger, Robert Stofer and Robbie Merkle finished second through fifth.

The fans participated in the Spectator Eliminator after the feature races.

Friday night will be an evening with the Shriners. Hot laps at 6:45 p.m. and races start at  7:30 p.m.
