Chisholm charges to Iron Man victory in Featherlite Fall Jamboree lid-lifter


Jim Chisholm’s sixth win of the season at the Deer Creek Speedway was his biggest so far as he led wire-to-wire to capture the opening night victory at the 22nd Annual Featherlite Fall Jamboree presented by Chevrolet Performance.

Chisholm beat polesitter Taylor of Caledonia to the first turn and that was the last time the 17-year-old from Osage, Iowa, trailed in the 20-lap affair for the USRA B-Mods of the Christie Door Company Iron Man Challenge built by Medieval Chassis.

While Chisholm banked the $1,200 winner’s share of the prize money, Decorah, Iowa’s Dan Hovden settled for the runner-up honors after chasing Chisholm throughout the main event. Both drivers came into the night with 12 feature wins in 2020. Chisholm—the USRA B-Mod national points leader—now has 13.

With a back-to-back track championships at ‘The Creek’ already in the bag, Chisholm can now set his sights on a Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national title.

Parker Hale of Grand Meadow took the checkered flag in third, 11th-starting Shaun Walski of Rollingstone round up fourth and Skauge held on for a top-five finish.

Chisholm’s closest rival in the national points battle is defending USRA B-Mod national champ Kris Jackson of Lebanon, Mo., who was disqualified in his heat race but clawed his way through a “B” feature and then raced from 24th on the grid to finish sixth in the “A” feature.

Andrew Bleess of Chatfield, Minn.; Cole Suckow of Cresco, Iowa; 22nd-starting Troy Hovey of Castalia, Iowa; and Webster City, Iowa’s Doug McCollough completed the top 10.

Racing continues Saturday with the nation’s top USRA B-Mod racers in the Christie Door Company Iron Man Challenge built by Medieval Chassis once again sharing the spotlight with the USMTS Modifieds. Check out deercreekspeedway.com for more information.
