Week 2 checkers at Mayetta fly for Holt

By Bill Grit

MAYETTA, Kan. (May 10) – Danny Holt denied opening night winner Cory Wray in topping Saturday’s BSB Manufacturing IMCA Modified main event at Thunder Hill Speedway.

Blake Peeler and Clay Hale set the pace from the front row but Holt, with a new power plant, took the lead early. Wray started deep in the field and used the same line as last week, racing way high into the turns to make up ground on Holt.

After a challenging start to the season, Holt stood victoriously in the Pit Pass Liquor Victory Lane. Wray ran second.

The Heinen Repair Service IMCA Stock Car feature looked to be a race for second place as Marvin Griffith Jr. set the pace early with a straightaway lead. Griffith lost steam with possible mechanical problems which allowed the rest of field to catch up.

Lance Borgman gained the lead and the eventual win ahead of Brian Labonte.

The IMCA Hobby Stocks took to the track under new title sponsorship of Bad Boyz Bail Bonds. Newcomer Tyler Hinrichs was chased to the checkers by Travis Burger.

Luke Stallbaumer caught Austin Carter for the Belleville Motorsports IMCA Northern SportMod victory. Dan Canady checked out early and never looked back in winning the Casey’s General Store IMCA Sport Compact feature.
