Mayhew and Skinner grab wins as NASCAR makes final Iowa Speedway visit in 2009; ASA, USAR this weekend

Two weekends ago saw the NASCAR Camping World West and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in Newton to run at Iowa Speedway. David Mayhew handed the Camping World West field a resounding beat down, while Mike Skinner was in complete control in the truck series. Conrad Nelson captured these shots for you.
The following week, Mayhew competed at the IMCA Super Nationals in Boone, behind the wheel of a Jet modified supplied by Johnny Saathoff. Mayhew did not make the big show, but vowed a return. He crashed out of one of the last chance races on Saturday afternoon, but was all smiles as I talked to him about his Boone experience, even with the bad luck. Mayhew was a stand-up guy to meet and chat with at both Newton and Boone. I've included a shot of his Super Nationals car.
