First-time winners dominate at Algona

By Greg Grabianowski

ALGONA, Iowa (July 19) – Tad Reutzel and Isaac Hill earned their first feature wins of the season at Algona Raceway on Saturday evening.

Chad Palmer and Dalton Kron also grabbed their first feature win of the year at the track with Matt Hoeft earning his second win of the season.

Dustin Smith took the early IMCA Xtreme Motor Sports Modified lead and had a straightaway advantage before Reutzel reeled him in.

Hill was the winner in the caution-slowed IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock main after drawing a front row start.

Palmer came from the inside of the fourth row to take the double checkered flags in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature.

The yellow flag was also frequently displayed in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature but Hoeft overcame all of those delays to earn his second local feature win of the season.

Kron steered his No. 99 rig into the winner’s circle from the outside of row two in the Mach-1 Sport Compact go.
