April 25th, 2013 | Author: LCS
Donnellson, IA (Thursday, April 25, 2013) – After two straight weeks of rain outs the Lee County Speedway in Donnellson, IA looks to get back in action this Friday, April 26th, with Farmington Tax & Accounting and Donnellson Tire Night at the races.
The Budweiser IMCA Modifieds and Coor’s Light IMCA Hobby Stocks will have their season opening points night this Friday. Along with the Donnellson Tire IMCA Stock Cars, Shottenkirk Parts Express IMCA SportMods and Sunline Auto Parts IMCA Sport Compacts continuing their points battles.
IMCA MODIFIEDS AND STOCK CARS don’t forget that for the months of April and May the starting money for the IMCA Modifieds has been raised to $100 and the IMCA Stock Cars to $70 respectively to start. Perfect attendance from this Friday on for both classes will guarantee this for the whole season. So Stock Cars if you missed opening night you can still get the guaranteed start money after May for the rest of the season. If you miss a night you will lose the extra guaranteed start money from June forward.
Plus any new competitor to the Lee County Speedway will not be required to pay the track registration fee. Which means we would like to invite you to come down and give the Lee County Speedway a try without having to pay the track registration fee. But if, and we hope you do return, then you will be required to pay the track registration fee of $25.
Gates will open at 5:30 pm, hot laps at 7:00 pm, and racing set for 7:30 pm. Grandstand admission will be adults $10, seniors $9, students (7-17) $5, and kids 6 & under FREE! Pit passes will be $25, ages 7-13 $15, and ages 6 & under $10.

The first feature on the night was the 15 lap STARS Mod Lite Series, with Chase Flatt and Justin Buchholz drawing the front row for the event. Flatt would take advantage of his front row start to jump out into the lead on lap 1 over Josh May and Buchholz. The action up front was slowed for the first time on lap 6, when Gary Snyder spun in turn 2 to bring out the yellow. On the restart Flatt moved back out front, with May close behind in second. May jumped to the top of the track to edge out Flatt at the line on lap 11 to take over the top spot. Just as May started to pull away from the battle for second, another caution would appear on lap 13. This time Jimmy Halcomb, who was running 8th, spun in turn 4 to bring out the yellow. Brian Schnell would spin in turn 1 on the restart to bring the yellow light back on. The next restart had May jump back out front, with Flatt working to hold back Greg Rossell, who started 8th. May would hold on for the final 2 laps to claim the win and the $300 top prize. Flatt won the battle for 2nd, Rossell was 3rd, Andy Hennigar came from 18th to finish in 4th, with Buchholz rounding out the top 5.
