Stanton, Lange find fourth while Aikey, Auringer, Michehl, Griffith score second wins at Hamilton County Speedway

July 18, 2020

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

It was Gamblers Night presented by Seneca Foundry at the Hamilton County Speedway driven by Spangler Automotive on Saturday. Four racers made their second trip to Integrity Trucking Victory Lane this season while two others paid a fourth visit.

Action in the Super Late Models presented by Jerry Goebel State Farm Agent saw veteran Jeff Aikey of Cedar Falls come from the third row on the grid to claim his second win of the 2020 campaign.

Defending track champion Jason Hahne of Webster City was second, Garner’s Gabe Umbarger finished third, fourth went to polesitter Lyle Klein of Sherrill and 10th-starting Joel Callahan of Dubuque rounded out the top five.

In Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series competition, defending track champion J.D. Auringer bested a strong field of Olsen Family USRA Modifieds from his fifth starting spot while Nate Hughes of Humboldt, who started sixth, followed the Waterloo wheelman to the checkered flag.

Mark Elliott of Webster City settled for third, Chase Ellingson of Williams was the fourth-place finisher and Garett Wilson of Carlisle came from 11th to claim the fifth spot.

Seneca Foundry USRA Stock Cars saw Myles Michehl of Fort Dodge register his second win of the year by holding off the challenges by Jason Minnehan of Churdan, who came from tenth on the starting grid.

Jesse Brown of Nashua took home the third-place paycheck while defending track champ Reid Keller of Webster City held off Bill Crimmins of Fort Dodge for fourth at the finish line.

Claiming his second victory of the season in the Stein Heating & Cooling USRA B-Mods, Ty Griffith held off fellow Webster City taxpayer Doug McCollough for top honors.

From the 11th starting spot, Alex Zwanziger of Walker grabbed third while Rocky Caudle of Ellsworth crossed the finish line fourth with Jason Bass of Fort Dodge completing the top five.

Eric Stanton of Carlisle garnered his fourth Diamond in the Rough USRA Hobby Stock feature win of the season but still trails runner-up Scott Dobel of Manly in the points battle as he tries to collect back-to-back titles.

Fort Dodge racers Bryce Sommerfeld and Riley Crimmins finished fourth and fifth, respectively, and Roger Haupt of Webster City took fifth.

Now a four-time feature winner himself, Jade Lange of Humboldt padded his points lead in the MyRacePass USRA Tuner division by fending off the advances of former national champ Ryan Bryant of Mason City.

Matt Oberhelman of Fort Dodge was the fourth driver to cross beneath the checkered flag with polesitter Jeff Trosin of Ringsted and Justin Nielson of Lu Verne following close behind.
