STARTED: POLE
FINISHED: 9TH
John started 5th in the first heat race. He finished 2nd behind polesitter Tim Donlinger. John was 3rd in passing points and redrew one! John started the race on the pole, but slipped back to finish 9th complaining that the car didn't have enough "drive."
John remains 6th in the "Hunt." He will be back racing at home this coming weekend. Look for him at Lakeside Speedway Friday night and he will finish up the post poned race at Hutchinson on Sunday. Hope to see you there!

“Z-MAN” THE MAN AT DECORAH, EXTENDS POINTS LEAD IN CASEY'S
GENERAL STORES HUNT FOR THE O’REILLY USMTS NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP
DECORAH, Iowa (Aug. 16) – Zack VanderBeek notched his
fourth victory of the season Saturday night at the Upper
Iowa Speedway in Decorah, Iowa, as the O'Reilly USMTS
National Tour wrapped up a hardcore swing of events that
began on June 29 just a few miles away in Cresco, Iowa.
With the budgets, equipment, nerves and energy of the
teams running on life support, VanderBeek out-dueled Kelly
Shryock in a caution-free 40-lap main event that saw all
22 starters finish the feature race on the tricky
quarter-mile oval.
The 4th Annual Summer Challenge was the 15th event in 18
days, and the sixth race in the Casey's General Stores
Hunt for the O'Reilly USMTS National Championship. Teams
will get nearly two weeks to catch their breath before
returning to action on Thursday, Aug. 28, a the Highway 3
Raceway in Allison, Iowa.
Tim Donlinger grabbed the lead from polesitter John Allen
at the drop of the green flag Saturday night, but
fourth-starting Shryock zipped into the lead one lap
later.
The eight-time O'Reilly USMTS National Champion stayed up
front until lap 12 when VanderBeek, who started seventh,
shot into the lead.
With no yellow flags to slow the pace, lapped traffic was
thick and heavy throughout the last half of the race, and
allowed Shryock to regain the lead on lap 21. Five laps
later, VanderBeek returned the favor and maneuvered his
way through the pack over the final 14 circuits to take
the win.
VanderBeek, who won the first O'Reilly USMTS race at the
Upper Iowa Speedway in 2005, pocketed $2,000 for his
efforts and padded his points lead in his quest to become
the 2008 O'Reilly USMTS National Champion.
Shryock hung on for second, Jon Tesch came from 10th to
finish third, Al Hejna from 11th to fourth and Donlinger
rounded out the top-5 finishers which, ironically, also
entered the event as the top-5 in points.
Alan Mondus garnered was sixth, Dereck Ramirez came from
15th to finish seventh and earn the KSE Racing Products
Hard Charger Award, Corey Dripps finished eighth, Allen
slipped to ninth and Darrin Walch completed the top-10.
In the Casey's General Stores Hunt for the O'Reilly USMTS
National Championship, VanderBeek leads Tesch by 27 points
(585 to 558), while Shryock sits third with 553. Donlinger
is fourth with 546 markers, followed by Hejna (541), Allen
(494), Ramirez (492), Tommy Weder Jr. (464), Mondus (438)
and Brandon Kenny (416).
Before the O'Reilly USMTS National Tour gets things
cranked back up in a dozen days, the O'Reilly USMTS
Southern Series returns to action with a doubleheader in
the Lone Star State.
On Friday, Aug. 22, the O'Reilly USMTS Southern Series
returns to the Golden Triangle Raceway Park in Beaumont,
Texas, then invades the Gator Motorplex in Willis, Texas,
on Saturday, Aug. 23.
The Golden Triangle Raceway Park is a 1/4-mile high-banked
clay oval located 9.5 miles west of I-10 on US 90 (SSR).
