DAVENPORT, Iowa — The first race of summer at Davenport Speedway was also Ice Cream Night at the Races.
The cherry on top was the Outhouse and Storage to Go Container Rentals IMCA Late Model feature, the final race of the evening. The 25-lap main went caution-free. Eighteen of the 19 starters were still running at the checkered flag.
Travis Denning became the seventh different driver to win an IMCA Late Model feature at Davenport this season.
Travis started on the outside of the front row. He did not lead the first lap, but he did lead the rest en route to the win.
Evan Miller got to within a car-length of the leader, but had to settle for second. Matt Ryan started eleventh and charged to a third-place finish. Andy Nezworski and Mike Goben rounded out the top five.
While the late models had a scoop of a single flavor, the Wangelin’s Auto IMCA Modified feature had an assortment of flavors. Four different drivers had a taste for the lead, with Chris Zogg making it back-to-back feature wins. Zogg started tenth and slowly worked his way forward. Chris took the lead from Charlie Mohr on lap twelve and would pull away to a 3.68-second victory.
Mohr held on for a second-place finish. Matt Stein ran top five the entire race before taking third. Early race leader Brandon Durbin finished fourth, ahead of Mitch Way.
The D&K Home Products IMCA SportMod feature yielded a first-time SportMod winner in Josh Starr. Josh ran first or second the whole race, leading the last four laps for the win. Rayce Mullen drove to a second-place finish. Ryan Walker took third, followed by Justin Veloz and Perry Gellerstedt.
Tony VonDresky returned to Competitive Concrete Victory Lane in Koehler Electric Outlaw Street Stock action. Tony started ninth and made it look easy as he led twelve of the fifteen laps. Donnie Louck rode to second on the high side but could not keep pace with the winner. Landen Chrestensen took third. Cary Brown and Zach Zuberbrier were fourth and fifth, respectively.
Shawn McDermott captured his first victory of the year in the Fred’s Towing & Cantrell’s Towing 4-Cylinder class.
