‘This One’s for Curt’ — a special night at the races

MARSHALLTOWN – Surrounded by family and friends sporting bright orange shirts that carry a message much more meaningful than your average racing t-shirt, Curt Ramundt of Grundy Center was escorted to the winner’s circle during a recent Friday night of racing at Marshalltown Speedway where he and his family were presented a check in the amount of $1,200.00 in support of his fight against cancer. The emotional presentation put the racing events of the night into perspective.

Ramundt has been a constant of the 26J racing team since their first go-kart tire hit the dirt oval at Cottonwood Speedway near New Hartford 13 years ago. He has been a steadfast friend and supporter of driver Joel Rust and his dad Harvin through years of kart racing followed by a transition to IMCA SportMod racing four years ago.

He has contributed countless hours as a vital member of the pit crew as they traveled to various racing events in and out of the state of Iowa.
