Oskaloosa, Iowa: The Southern Iowa Speedway hosted Kids Night by Bill & Rays Truck Repair on Wednesday night with a nice crowd in attendance on the first night of racing with fans in 2020.

The headliner of the night was the 16 lap Mid State Machine Stock main event. The race saw several lead changes with great racing throughout. Jason McDaniel led early before 6^th starting Nathan Wood was able to move into the lead. Wood appeared to be en route to the win but Derrick Agee had other ideas. Agee caught Wood and made the pass in turn four late in the race to take over the point. Agee recorded the win with Wood crossing under the checkers ahead of McDaniel.

The Oskaloosa Quality Rental Sportmod feature belonged to Curtis VanDerwal on Wednesday night. VanDerwal advanced to the point from a third row start and went on to score a comfortable win over Blaine Webster.

The Parker Tree Service Hobby Stock feature belonged to Hedrick’s Dustin Griffiths on Wednesday night. Griffiths took advantage of a front row start and sailed on to the win over Aaron Martin.

The DirtnAsphalt Sport Compact feature provided plenty of wheel to wheel racing in the 10 lap feature. Nathan Chandler made the tow down from Norway pay off in scoring a hard fought win ahead of Billy Cain and Denny Berghahn.

Rocking It Pilot non-wing sprinters ran their ten lap feature flag to flag on Wednesday night and it was a regular visitor to victory lane capturing the checkers. Jonathan Hughes overtook Doug Sylvester on lap 7 and went on to the win. Sylvester took second.

Racing will continue at the Southern Iowa Speedway on Hall of Fame voting night presented by KBOE on Wednesday June 24^th. Please note the new start time in 2020, the grandstands will open at 5:45 with hot laps scheduled for 7:15 with racing to follow.
