Beckendorf gets opening night win at Kossuth County
By Greg Grabianowski ALGONA, Iowa (May 6) – Brandon Beckendorf added another $1,000 IMCA Modified feature win to his early season tally on opening night Thursday at Kossuth County Speedway. Beckendorf started on the pole, took the lead immediately and was g-o-n-e, building a half straightway lead before an ugly yellow flag on lap 13. On the restart, Beckendorf, already on the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational ballot, took the lead again and fought off a late challenge from a hard-charging Nick Meyer to earn the big payday. Meyer was the runner-up followed by Jeremy Mills. Kelly Shryock placed fourth and Austin Wolf rounded out the top five. Gerald Curry and Matt Looft led the Karl Kustoms Northern SportMod field to the flagstand for the green flag. Looft quickly grabbed the lead, was never challenged and completely dominated for the win. Curry took second with Jared Boumeester third followed by George Nordman and Colby Fett. Shryock battled his way to the front of the IMCA Sunoco Stock Car field and cruised to the feature win. McCain [Read More]
