Kay makes it two in a row at Davenport

DAVENPORT, Ia. (April 28, 2023) – Justin Kay of Wheatland, Iowa captured his second straight

Petersen Plumbing & Heating IMCA Late Model feature win, Friday at Davenport Speedway. Kay was able to pass early race leader Chuck Hanna on lap four and never looked back.

Caution flags slowed the race pace several times. But on each restart, Justin was able to pull away from the pack. He held a 1.8 second advantage over second place Andy Nezworski at the checkers. Hanna took third, followed by Bryan Klein and Fred Remley.

Kay and Matt Ryan won the late model heats.

Chris Zogg led all twenty laps en route to victory in the Eriksen Chevrolet IMCA Modifieds. Travis Denning started fifth and quickly drove his way to a second place finish. Eric Barnes started third and would finish in the same spot. Jeff Larson and Mitch Morris completed the first five.

Twenty-eight Matzen Trucking IMCA SportMods answered the feature call. Fifteen laps later, Ben Chapman stood in victory lane. David Engelkens led the first six laps of the main, before Chapman was able to squeeze under Engelkens for the lead. Once in front, Chapman was able to pull out to a sizeable lead.

Todd Dykema drove from eighth starting position to a second place finish. Jarrett Franzen, Justin Veloz, and Rayce Mullen finished third through fifth respectively.

The Koehler Electric Street Stock feature came down to a last lap pass for the win. Race leader Jesse Owen and Landen Chrestensen were both vying for the bottom groove with contact between the two, ruffling more than a feathers. At the stripe, Chrestensen held a 0.011 second advantage for the win. Behind Owen, Nick Hixson finished third, with Zach Zuberbier fourth and Cary Brown fifth.

Jeff Larson also went wire to wire in the Kunes Nissan IMCA Stock Car feature. Justin Kay started fifth and wound up in second. Third place went to Gage Neal. Lee Kinsella and Rick Schriner completed the top five.
