Seven drivers scored feature wins and 42 punched their ticket to Saturday’s main event on opening night of the Fall Futurity on Friday at the Hamilton County Speedway driven by Spangler Automotive.

The top 8 finishers in Friday’s main events are locked in for Saturday’s dash to determine the first four rows of the feature races with the remainder of the starting fields coming from “B” Mains and Last Chance Races.

Fresh off of his three-night sweep at the Summit USRA Nationals, Ryan Gustin of Marshalltown continued his winning ways with a victory in the 20-lap USRA Modified main event.

From the eighth starting spot, ‘The Reaper’ caught and passed his brother and polesitter, Ritchie Gustin of Gilman to take the win while Kyle Brown of Madrid roared from third to 11th in the race.

Jeff Aikey of Cedar Falls, Nate Hughes of Humboldt, Joel Rust of Grundy Center, Mark Elliott of Webster City and track champ J.D. Auringer filled the remainder of the top eight positions to earn a spot in Saturday’s dash.

Picking up where he left off two weeks ago, Decorah’s Kevin Donlan wired the field in the Holley USRA Stock Car feature while Kyle Falck of Decorah, Todd Staley of Webster City and Darrin Korthals of Rock Rapids came from ninth, eighth and tenth on the grid to finish second, third and fourth, respectively.

Derek Green of Granada, Minn., was fifth, Mark Elliott of Webster City rolled from 15th to sixth, Craig Berhow of Belmond wound up seventh and Ventura’s Joe Schmit was the the eighth and final automatic transfer into Saturday’s dash.

The Out-Pace USRA B-Mods saw a familiar face in Integrity Trucking Victory Lane when polesitter Ty Griffith of Webster City led the field to the checkered flag over Jared Boumeester of Waseca, Minn., and Jake Sachau of Denison.

Nate Whitehurst of Mason City was fourth, 15th-starting Rocky Caudle of Ellsworth was fifth, 12th-starting Hunter Longnecker of Woodward finished in the sixth spot, Brandon Toftee of Otho clawed his way to seventh from the 25th starting spot and 17th-starting Jared VanDenBerg of Oskaloosa grabbed eighth.

After starting tenth in the main event, 2018 track champion Eric Stanton of Carlisle emerged victorious in the Cook Racing Supplies USRA Hobby Stock main event, followed by Brandon Nielsen of Spencer and four-time national champ Dustin Gulbrandson of Sioux Falls, S.D.

Jeff Fink of Denison, Tyson Overton of Carlisle, Tracy Halouska of Sioux Falls, S.D., Bryan Derry of Collins and John Ades of Rippey completed the top right.

Joshua Uhl of Luverne, Minn., topped the USRA Tuner field with a strong run from the sixth starting spot.

Joining him in Saturday’s pole dash for Friday’s top eight finishers were Steven Struck of Atalissa, Chris Vannausdle of Villisca, Jeremiah Anderson of La Crosse, Wis., Seth Scholl of Holmen, Wis., Justin Anderson of Holmen, Wis., Brad Mayland of Britt and Jake Witte of Clare.

The second and final night of the Fall Futurity and Tuner Nationals happens Saturday night with dashes for Friday’s top 8 finishers, last chance races and championship main events in all classes.

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.
