Gustin and Gustin dominate at Marshalltown

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (July 14) – The Central Iowa Fair provided the background for blue ribbon outings Friday night for Jenae Gustin and Richie Gustin. Jesse Belez led the first 10 laps of the IMCA Modified main as Jenae Gustin began reeling him in. Gustin made the move to first on lap 11 and then distanced herself from the rest of the field, taking the checkers by a comfortable margin. The 20 lap IMCA Late Model feature was dominated by Richie Gustin. Gustin started seventh, and was leading when lap one was scored. The only caution of the race came at lap two when Joe Zrostlik and Curtis Glover tangled on the front stretch, closing out their night and mangling a couple of infield sponsor signs. When the race restarted, Gustin rocketed off, racing around the rim of the track and was never seriously challenged. Sam Wieben made it to victory lane for the first time this season at Marshalltown by winning the 18-lap Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature.
