SEIDLER RUNS DOWN ARNESON FOR FEATURE WIN
The first of two IMCA Modified Qualifying features hit the track. The top seven drivers from each feature would transfer directly into the $5,000 to win, 100 lap feature for Night 2 of the Iron Man 100. In the first qualifying feature, pole sitter Marlyn Seidler lost the lead as the green flag waved to Austin Arneson. As Arneson pulled away, Seidler had his hands full with Jason Wolla. A series of cautions erased Arneson’s lead but on the final restart of the qualifying feature with eight laps to go, Seidler dove low under Arneson for the lead. Arneson shut the door but Seidler was all over his rear bumper. Coming out of turn two, Arneson got loose which opened the door for Seidler to slip by for the lead with four laps to go. Arneson hung on tight behind Seidler but Seidler started to pull away. As the checkered flag waved, Marlyn Seidler finished first ahead of Austin Arneson, Jason Wolla and Shawn Strand. Dylan Goplan held off Travis Hagen and Chris Schroeder.
