BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 4) – Tim Ward and Dallon Murty will precede the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s with Saturday night Prelude feature wins.

Ward led the last 21 of 30 laps in winning the IMCA Modified feature and $1,080; Murty caught Michael Jaennette with seven circuits left in the 30-lap finale at Boone Speedway, earning $800.

One hundred and thirty Modifieds and 115 Stock Cars saw Prelude action while 49 STARS Mod Lites ran race of champions heats and their first night of Super Nationals qualifying.

Already Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational qualifying eligible, Ward started sixth, was running second by lap seven and was half a car length ahead of Joel Bushore when lap nine was scored.

The only caution came on lap 23 to erase Ward’s big lead and he was just fast enough coming out of the final turn to outrun Cody Laney to the checkers.

Mike Mashl, Jeremy Mills and 14th starting Todd Shute completed the top five. 

Mike Stapleton led the first two laps in the Stock Car main before Jaennette squeaked ahead by the width of his bumper at the end of lap three.

He stayed in front ‘til Murty went to the top side for the lead following the only restart, with five laps left. With the checkers out, 10th starting Devin Smith Devin Smith challenged but Murty, already in the B & B Chassis All-Star Invitational field, made a nifty move to the lower line coming out of the final turn.

Jaennette, Thornton and 13th starting Kelly Shryock completed the top five.
