BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 4, 2023) – Both started mid-pack in their respective qualifying features but Tyler Bannister and Jake Sachau ultimately took different routes to victory lane and front row starting spots for Saturday’s IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s main event.
Bakersfield, Calif., pilot Bannister was promoted to the top spot in the finish for Monday’s first qualifier at Boone Speedway following the post-race disqualification of Logan Anderson for an engine compartment infraction.
Bannister had started the 25-lapper from 12th, was briefly in the lead before midway and then ran behind Anderson the last 14 circuits.
He’ll start on the pole in the Big Dance, in front of Hunter Longnecker, Tony Olson, Cole Suckow, Ty Rogers, Alex Smith, Robbie Thome and Braden Richards
Prelude winner Sachau made his way to the from 10th starting in the nightcap, passing defending Super Nationals champion Matt Looft just after midway.
“I love running the top and that’s where I was running,” he said. “Starting 10th, I wasn’t even nervous. This car is a rocket.”
Joining Sachau on the middle row Saturday will be second through eighth place finishers Logan Cumby, Colby Fett, Tyler Nerud, Willy Kirk, Bryce Allen, Shane Paris and Connor Barnes.
Qualifying for both Hobby Stocks and Northern SportMods continues Tuesday at Boone, along with races of champions for both divisions and the complete Sport Compact program.
