Aikey, Garnhart, and Neal take Davenport wins

DAVENPORT, Ia. (May 22, 2020) – Another large field of cars were on hand Friday night at the Davenport Speedway, for race #2 of the 2020 season. Drivers from seven different states were competing in the five classes of stock car action.

Jeff Aikey dominated the Petersen Plumbing & Heating IMCA Late Model division. Joel Callahan jumped out to the early lead of the feature, but that would only last one lap. Aikey led the twenty-four remaining circuits en route to the win. The feature went caution free. Matt Ryan came from eighth starting spot to finish second with Justin Kay taking third. Joe Zrostlik and Joe Ross rounded out the top five.

Aikey, Kay, and Ross were late model heat winners.

Just like the late models, the Eriksen Chevrolet IMCA Modified main started with Jeff Larson leading lap one. Spencer Diercks took over on lap two and looked to have the field covered. That was until a plume of smoke came from under his hood on lap nine. Diercks’ race was over, but did not bring out the caution. Bryce Garnhart grabbed the lead and held it to the checkered flag. Minnesota racer, Billy Kendall III, finished second, followed by Jeff Larson, Jeff Aikey, and Grey Ferrando, in that order.

Fifty-seven modifieds were in the pits, requiring five heats and two B-Mains to set the feature field. Garnhart, Kendall, Larson, Aikey, and Diercks were heat winners. Matt Werner and AJ Ward won the B’s.

Gage Neal won his second straight IMCA SportMod feature. Neal started ninth and drove from fifth to first, after a lap three restart. Shane Paris had a strong showing in second. Jayden Schmidt took third, followed by Jarrett Franzen and Ryan Walker.

Nick Hixson led the Koehler Electric Street Stock feature led flag to flag. Donnie Louck finished second with Darrell Dick third. Jeff Struck Jr. finished fourth and Nick Claussen fifth.

The QCjeeps.com Sport Compact feature was won by Matt Mackey, on his first visit to Davenport Speedway. Jeremy Hancock finished in the runner-up spot. Jeffrey Delonjay, Nick Johnson, and Shawn McDermott finished third through fifth respectively.

Next Friday, May 29th, the World of Outlaw Late Models come to town for a two-day affair. Friday’s races will be on the quarter-mile track, with Saturday’s action on the big half-mile oval. More details will be announced on Davenport Speedway – K Promotions facebook page and on the website, “davenportiaspeedway.com
