After the long green flag run that ended the night, Richie Gustin drove home from Thursday’s IMCA Hawkeye Dirt Tour feature at Lee County Speedway with the biggest share of the green.

Gustin was scored first every time around the track in the 30-lapper for Xtreme Motor Sports Modifieds. The $1,000 victory was his series career-leading eighth and first this season.

Bill Roberts Jr. drew the pole but it was Gustin quickly into the lead from his outside front row starting spot. Kyle Brown came up from fourth and slipped past Gustin briefly on lap six, but Gustin got the front spot back for good by the time the circuit was scored.
Five cautions slowed the first half of the feature, which concluded with 14 green flag laps. Making the most of the fast top line, Gustin was five car lengths ahead of Brown at the checkers.

Troy Cordes raced from 10th starting to third, just ahead of Todd Shute. Andrew Schroeder was fifth while defending champion and current point leader Mike Van Genderen took sixth.

Gustin was already on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. The fourth installment of the 2015 tour is Tuesday, June 30, when Hancock County Speedway at Britt hosts a $3,300 to win event on Salute To Veterans Night.
Other winners on Bud Night at Donnellson were Damon Murty in the IMCA Sunoco Stock Cars, Joey Gower in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMods and Josh Barnes in the Mach-1 Sport Compacts.
