Trenton Coke night at I-35 Speedway is always a great night. Lots of giveaways and lots of fun. Six drivers went to victory lane, one of them for the first time ever.

John Crews (Polo, MO) has won numerous heat races in his career but when feature time would come around the car just seemed to go away. Tonight Crews hit that setup in the feature big time and won his first career IMCA Stock Car feature. Crews led the entire 15 lap feature that was slowed by one caution, a caution that wiped away his huge lead. On the restart though Crews would not be denied and he pulled away and "Crewsed" to his first win. Crews had a good battle with Sean Foster for the lead and eventually pulled away. Gene Stigall (Winston, MO) battled it out with Bruce Fair (Trenton, MO), Stigall finished second, Fair finished third, Kevin Anderson (Kansas City, MO) came from the back finished fourth and Greg Keuhn (Trenton, MO) wound up fifth. Kevin Anderson started eleventh and finished fourth to win the hard charger award.

Chad Clancy (Smithville, MO) stepped back to victory lane in the Grand National division. Clancy back behind the wheel of the Grand National he drove to victory numerous times for only the third time this season showed he still knows how to get the car around I-35 Speedway. Second spot went to Jason Anderson (Kansas City, MO), who returned from a few weeks off for vacation, third went to points leader Bud Wilson (Trenton, MO) fourth went to Don Marrs (Shawnee KS) and fifth place was Thomas Roberts (Kidder, MO). Jason Anderson gained eight spots to win the hard charger.

The Midwest Outlaw Vintage Racers joined us tonight bringing fourteen cars. Jack Simmons (Erie, KS) hard charged his way through the field and won his third feature at I-35 Speedway. Zac Simmons (Erie, KS) came home second, Lonnie Farley (Stewartsville, MO) crossed the line in third, John Wilhite (Wellsville, KS) was fourth and Dirtworks Racecars Gary Clark (Walker, MO) was fifth.

Last week Chris Shiflett (Meadville, MO) looked well on his way to his first IMCA SportMod win at I-35 Speedway. But drove in turn three a little to hard on the last lap and slid up high and came home second. Tonight he wouldn't let that happen again as he drove his line perfect for the win. Shiflett held off a young, hungry Wes Bestgen (Osborn, MO) who finished second, the guy who took the win last week when Shiflett slid up high Brad Whitney (Trenton, MO) finished third, points leader Randy Ainsworth (Excelsior Springs, MO)finished fourth and Ronnie Miller (Trenton, MO)came from deep in the field for fifth. Ronnie Miller started nineteenth and finished fifth to win the hard charger.

Eric Stanton (Hartford, IA) won for the eleventh time in the IMCA Hobby Stocks. Stanton got by race leader Lee Farmer for the win. Farmer (Bethany, MO) had a good battle with Andrew Hustead (Rutledge, MO) for second. Farmer ended up finishing second, Hustead finished third. Fourth went to Alex Anderson (Spickard, MO) and fifth was David Truskett (Cowgill, MO). Stanton gained eight spots to win the hard charger.

Cory Wray used a late caution to get by race leader Steven Glenn with five laps to go to win his second consecutive IMCA Modified feature, third overall in 2012. It looked like the IMCA Modifieds were going to run the entire feature caution free before the yellow came out on lap fifteen. Wray used the restart to get by Glenn and went on for the win extending his points lead. Glenn (Hamilton, MO) held on for second, Buz Kaster (Kansas City, KS) finished third, JJ Baumli (Lathrop, MO) had a good run running top five all night, he finished fourth and Jim Hopkins (Raymore, MO) finished fifth. Wray gained seven spots to win his second consecutive hard charger.
