The Super Late Model Summer Series presented by Jerry Goebel State Farm took center stage Friday at the Karl Chevrolet Hamilton County Speedway for the Bill Rice Memorial, which was postponed to the 21st Annual Fall Futurity weekend after being rained-out Aug. 27.

A strong field was on hand battle for a $2,000 top prize and the memorial trophy honoring the famed Iowa racer, and the hardware stayed at home as Jason Hahne of Webster City led the 25-lap main event from start to finish.

The race for the lead tightened up midway through the race as Charlie McKenna closed in on Hahne as the leaders navigated heavy lapped traffic, but Hahne was able to tip-toe through the pack and pull away to a 3.267-second victory .

Jeff Aikey got by McKenna with two laps to go and finished second behind the three-time and reigning Super Late Model track champion.

Veteran racer Lance Matthees was fourth while former USMTS standout Corey Dripps rounded out the top five finishers.

Dylan Thornton came out on top of a tough field of Olsen Family USRA Modifieds, leading wire to wire in the 20-lap feature race.

The Iowa resident via Santa Maria, Calif., bested VanderBuilt Race Cars teammates Shane DeVolder and Zack VanderBeek while 12th-starting Jacob Bleess debuted a new Rage Chassis with a fourth-place finish over Josh Angst.

Webster City’s Mark Elliott found victory lane in the Seneca Foundry USRA Stock Cars after stealing the lead from early leader Nate Whitehurst suffered a flat tire following red and yellow flag delays midway through the 18-lap affair.

Derek Green wound up second ahead of Myles Michehl, Josh Zieman and Reid Keller as just nine competitors remained on the track when the checkered flag waved.

In Stein Heating & Cooling USRA B-Mod action, former two-time USRA B-Mod national champion Brandon Hare of Elma crossed the finish line first after a spirited between himself, track champion Ty Griffith and polesitter Zach Davis throughout the race.

While Griffith nipped Hunter Longnecker for the runner-up paycheck, Davis held on to finish fourth in front of fifth-place Trevor Fecht.

Zack Smidt of Mason City topped the Diamond in the Rough USRA Hobby Stock feature by holding off the challenges from a trio of Fort Dodge drivers—Bryce Sommerfeld, Riley Crimmins and Jeremy Crimmins—while national points leader Dylan Clinton completed the top five.

With his 24th main event win of the 2022 season, Thornton’s Oliver Monson, who started seventh, likely cemented the title of USRA Tuner National Champion. The rest of the top five were Kolby Sabin, Tyler Crimmins, Nick Van Hemert and Jake Paysen.
