DAVENPORT, Iowa – Friday was the fifth time the Hoker Trucking Super Late Model Racing Series has competed at the Davenport Speedway and every time the series has visited the track, an out of towner made it to victory lane.
That is, until Friday night.
The 50-lap feature started with front row starter Spencer Diercks getting out front early and building up quite a lead. Justin Kay started 14th and slowly worked his way towards the front. Both drivers were using the high side of the track. As Kay closed in on Diercks, he switched to the bottom and took the lead on lap 35.
Once in front, Kay had to deal with lapped traffic. Kay went onto take the win with a three second gap over second-place Diercks. Jason Hahne, Charlie McKenna and Chad Holladay ran top five all race and finished third through fifth.
Late model heat race wins went to Jeff Aikey, Jeff Tharp, Joel Callahan and Todd Cooney. Darin Duffy won the B-Main. Jason Hahne set quick time in qualifying.
In other action, Travis Denning won his first IMCA Modified feature of the year at Davenport. Jarrett Franzen was the winner in IMCA SportMod action while Tony VonDresky was a winner in the Street Stock feature. Dustin Begyn captured the Sport Compact feature.
