LOCAL RACING: IMCA Modified features at Flatlander stay green for Heim, Hansen

From IMCA.com

GOODLAND, Kan. (Sept. 25-26) – Chris Heim led every lap on opening night while John Hansen had to race his way back to the lead on night two at Sherman County Speedway’s Flatlander spe­cial.

Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified wins by both over the weekend at Goodland paid $2,000 and put the pair on the ballot for the 2016 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Both main events ran cau­tion-free.

Heim drew the pole for the Friday feature and ran in front all 30 times around the track. He was slowed by lapped traffic in the late going, which allowed Jeff Hunter and Jeremy Zorn to make up ground before settling for second and third place, respectively.

“I’d drawn the pole after starting sixth and winning my heat race,” noted Heim. “It definitely wasn’t easy trying to qualify from the heat.”

Hansen had the inside row one start Saturday but found himself chasing outside front row starter Jeremy Frenier most of the first half of the race.

He was also slowed by lapped traffic as the 30-lapper wound down and Frenier and Ursetta se­cured top three finishes.

Nick Tubbs and Justin Bussell were $500 IMCA Sunoco Stock Car feature winners during the 26th annual Flatlander.

Bussell and B.J. Wagoner chased Tubbs across the stripe on Friday. The Saturday top three were Bussell, Wagoner and Tubbs.

Ryan Stevenson topped the $400 to win opening night Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod main ahead of Dustin Daniels and Trevor Geist.

Daniels took his turn in victory lane on Saturday. Monty Nordyke was second and Morris ran third.

Colton Pfeifer swept $300 to win Flatlander features for IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks, with Colin Heim second and Austin Davis third both nights.
