DAVENPORT, Iowa — Late-race lead changes and a couple of first-time Davenport ay Speedwwinners gave a spark to a night that saw the entire 21-race program completed in just two and a half hours on Friday.

Chuck Hanna started outside of Garnhart and gave chase throughout the race. Late in the run, Hanna had to hold off the challenge of Andy Nezworski for second. Hanna would finish in the runner-up spot with Nezworski taking third. Evan Miller and Logan Duffy were fourth and fifth, respectively.
Young Charlie Mohr of Bettendorf finally broke through for his first Wangelin’s Auto IMCA Modified feature win. Mohr started in the eighth position and worked his way forward as Scott Lemke and Andrew Hamburg swapped the early race lead several times.
