June 1 results from Park Jefferson

Nice weather greeted race teams and fans alike as the Park Jefferson Speedway kicked off June 1 with a great night of racing that included a full field of cars and a fast moving program for fans to enjoy.
In the Artworks Graphics Modifieds, it was Chris Mills as a surprise winner. Mills, who has dropped in periodically throughout his career at Park Jefferson since winning a stock car championship, was able to benefit from a front row starting spot to jump to an early lead and win by 4 seconds. Mills was chased by RJ Merchant, who has found a lot of speed over the past few weeks. All time feature winner Jay Noteboom was third. Heat race wins when to Mills and Mapletons’s Jim Thies.
In the Stevenson Hardware Sprint Cars, “The Combine” Dusty Ballenger came flying from 8th with point leader Brant O’Banion in tow as the drivers from the 4th row were able to slide around the smooth racing surface to race into the lead. Ballenger has shown an affinity for the Park surface since the sprint cars became weekly, picked up his second win of the year while O’Banion continues to lead points. Ryan Voss was third. Heats went to Colin Smith and Shane Fick who made his first appearance at the track this year.
The J&J Fitting Stock Cars saw Greg Taylor hold off Elijah Zevenbergen by just 1 tenth of a second to pick up his second feature win of the year. It was masterful to watch the 2 drivers work though the field and take the top 2 spots. Taylor and Bo Lundquist won the heat races.
The Pizza Ranch Sport Modifieds saw Sioux City superstar Cody Thompson once again in victory lane. Thompson came in Saturday after picking up a win in NASCAR action at the I-80 Speedway the night before and the handicapping was just a small hindrance on his way to the front. Coming in second was an unbelievable run by Kole Nordquist. Nordquist started 18th and passed 16 other cars to come up just short. Josh Blom led the Artworks Graphics sponsored 25 to a third place finish. Heats went to Rusty Montagne and Devon McMartin.
The IMCA Hobby Stock division saw pure chaos to the point standings as some of the top drivers Andy Hoffman and Craig Clift struggle and Aaron Shearn taking the night off, it was Blake Arends to put his number 22 machine in victory lane of Justin Frederick. Kevin Bruck rounded out the top three which saw Bruck win a heat along with Richard Wynn and Jeremy Smith.
The IMCA Sport Compacts saw late arriving Josh Uhl invade for the victory over another strong second by Conner Brown. Uhl was able to take advantage or his starting position and raced around the middle and high sides of the track to pick up the win. Jared Gross was third and also won one of the two heat races with Uhl winning the other.
The originally scheduled USMTS show for Friday has been moved to Sunday, June 23rd.
