Crimmins, Moudry, Stanton, Jackson take Thursday night thrillers at Hamilton County Speedway

August 22, 2019

Bill Crimmins won the Seneca Foundry USRA Stock Car feature.

The Hamilton County Speedway driven by Spangler Automotive hosted the 13th Annual Casey's Clash presented by AmericInn on a picture-perfect made-for-racing Thursday night at the historic half-mile clay oval.

A stout field of Seneca Foundry USRA Stock Cars were on hand and it came down to the final lap to determine the main event winner.

Taking the white flag virtually side by side, Bill Crimmins of Fort Dodge and Dillon Anderson of Decorah dove into the first turn as they had for several laps before but this time Anderson pushed the envelope just a tad too much and tagged the outside concrete wall.

This gave Crimmins just enough of a cushion to speed away and capture his first win of the season at the track. Anderson held on for a runner-up paycheck with 11th-starting Todd Staley of Webster City, 15th-starting Jesse Sobbing of Malvern and Decorah’s Kevin Donlan rounding out the top five.

In Stein Heating & Cooling USRA B-Mod action, Ben Moudry of Hastings, Minn., started third in the 18-lap main event and held off a hard-charging Jared Boumeester of Waseca, Minn., who started the race from the inside of the seventh row.

Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series national points championship contender Dan Hovden of Decorah bested polesitter Kadden Kath of Owatonna, Minn., for the third position while 11th-starting Jim Chisholm of Osage finished fifth.

Ben Moudry won the Stein Heating & Cooling USRA B-Mod feature.

Eric Stanton of Carlisle continued his remarkable season with his seventh trip to Integrity Trucking Victory Lane at the track this season in the Diamond in the Rough USRA Hobby Stocks.

Scott Dobel of Manly claimed the second spot ahead of national points leader Dustin Gulbrandson of Sioux Falls, S.D., who is a just a handful of markers ahead of Stanton in the title chase.

Another driver from Manly, Zac Smith, took the fourth spot and Andy Wieczorek of Sioux Falls, S.D., passed six cars en route to a fifth-place finish.

Eric Stanton won the Diamond in the Rough USRA Hobby Stock feature.

In the DTRA Dirt Truck main event, veteran Stock Car ace collected the winner’s trophy with Fort Dodge drivers Myles Michehl and Jeff Frevert scoring second and third at the checkered flag.

The Hamilton County Speedway driven by Spangler Automotive is located off US 20 at exit 140, then 1.2 miles north, then 0.5 mile east on Bank St., then 0.4 mile south on Bluff St. to the Hamilton County Fairgrounds in Webster City, Iowa. The physical address is 1200 Bluff St, Webster City, IA 50595.

Opening in July 1910, the Hamilton County Speedway is the oldest speedway in the state of Iowa. In 1938, work began on the current location at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds. The semi-banked half-mile dirt track was completed in the spring of 1939, and the first races were held on the track in September of that year.
