Osky ready for Wild Wednesday presented by Casey’s General Stores


OSKALOOSA, Iowa – Another round of Wild Wednesday night racing action is on tap Wednesday at the Southern Iowa Speedway as the historic Mahaska County Monster hosts four classes in action on Casey’s General Stores Night.

USRA RHS Modifieds, USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars, USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks will make up the racing card that boasts the cream of the crop in machinery and talent in the Hawkeye State.

Fans of the Osky oval typically find the hottest drivers in action each and every week, and Wednesday’s show is certain to offer more of the same as the cure for the Hump Day blues.

With 21 or more entries, the winner of the Musco USRA Modified main event will pocket $1,000 with a minimum $100 to each starter. USRA Stock Cars will race for $400 to win and $75 to start, while both the USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods and USRA Hobby Stocks will battle for $300 to win and $60 to start.

There is no entry fee, no driver registration fee and this payoff bonus will continue throughout the 2010 season.

Pits will open at 5 p.m., grandstands open at 5:30, hot laps begin at 7:15 and the first heat race starts at 7:30. General admission grandstand tickets are just $8 for adults, $3 for kids ages 6-12 and pit passes are $25. Children ages 5 and under are always admitted free of charge.

Colt Mather of Webster sits atop the Musco USRA Modified standings after his win on opening night. Oskaloosa's Ron Ver Beek is second, followed by nine-time USMTS National Champion Kelly Shryock of Fertile, Josh Truman of Indianola and Zack VanderBeek of New Sharon while defending track champion Brad Pinkerton looks to bounce back from a ninth-place finish in the season-opener.

Shane Weller of Agency grabbed the victory in the season opener for the USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars and leads the standings over Nathan Wood of Keswick, Dart Iron Man Challenge points leader Mike Van Genderen of Newton, Rich Vogt of Fairfield and Kyle Harwood of Oskaloosa.

In the USRA Karl Performance Parts B-Mods, Cayden Carter of Oskaloosa leads fellow Osky pilot Tyler Groenendyk, with Mike Shelton of Bloomfield in third, Mike Wanders of Keswick fourth and Curtis Van Der Wal of Oskaloosa in fifth.

Derek Kirkland of Centerville picked up his career-first USRA Hobby Stock feature win two weeks ago and is tied at the top of the leaderboard with Oskaloosa’s Kris Walker, who won on opening night the previous Wednesday. Craig Brown of Eldon is third, Steve Allen of Oskaloosa ranks fourth and Sully’s Donovan Nunnikhoven rounds out the top five.
