Rain ends Davenport program early
DAVENPORT, Ia. (July 7, 2023) – A light, but persistent shower ended the racing program at Davenport Speedway, Friday night. Three features had been completed and the Eriksen Chevrolet IMCA Modified feature race had ten of the scheduled twenty laps finished.
The Koehler Electric Outlaw Street Stock main and the Petersen Plumbing & Heating IMCA Late Model feature make-up dates will be determined at a later time.
The Matzen Trucking IMCA SportMod feature was run first and the fast track gave Kevin Goben a long-awaited victory at Davenport Speedway. Goben grabbed the lead on lap two and led the rest of the way to the checkers. Kasey Williams started fourth and finished in the second spot. Logan Veloz started 11th and moved his way up to third by mid-race, but could not advance further. Todd Dykema and Levi Heath rounded out the top five.
Justin Kay notched his second Kunes Nissan IMCA Stock Car victory of the season. Justin had to hold off a charging David Brandies for the win. Gage Neal picked up a third place finish. Trouble on the final lap scattered the field and ended the race under caution. Matt Ryan finished fourth and Dakota Simonsen fifth.
Shawn McDermott dominated the QCjeeps.com Sport Compact main Friday night. Shawn led all twelve laps of the race and ended with almost a six second gap on second place Roy Schmidt. Hunter Pieper, Jason Rhoads, and Jack Fitzgibbon were third through fifth respectively.
Two big nights of racing are on tap for next week. Tuesday, July 11th, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series comes to Davenport Speedway. The top late model racers in the country will be on hand to compete.
