DRIVERS GEAR UP FOR WEEK TWO AT HAWKEYE
DOWNS
(
On
Friday, May 5 Hustler Turf Equipment presents racing action in the Papa Johns
Cup I-Wireless Racing Series and the Full Throttle Energy Drink Stars of
Tomorrow Series.
Performance Concepts ASA Late Models,
Budweiser Sportsmen, Miller Time Modifieds, Barron
Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars, Barron Motor Supply Hobby Stocks, and Sunline Hornets will all be action during the second week
of racing.
While it is early, a slightly revised
point format promises to keep the point battles interesting throughout the
season. In addition to receiving points for feature finishes drivers also
receive points for how they finish in their respective heats, except for Stock
Cars and Hobby Stocks, which don’t receive track points for heats. In addition, the ASA Late Models fast
qualifiers receive points for their efforts in time trials.
In Performance Concepts Late Models, Landon Cassill holds
a two point lead over Jeff King with Kyle Hinrichs
sitting two points behind King, in third. While King won last Friday night’s
feature, Cassill holds the points lead by posting a
better lap in qualifying.
The Budweiser Sportsmen have two drivers
tied for the lead. Dave McCalla is tied for the lead with Andy Duggan with each
driver earning 47 points. Martin Ballard sits in third, one
point behind the co- leaders.
Arlo Becker unofficially sits atop the
points chart in the Miller Time Modifieds, earning a
perfect score for his efforts on Friday night. Becker earned 40 points for the
feature win as well as 10 points for winning his heat for a total of 50. Tim
Plummer is one point behind Becker with Rodney Rocarek just two points away
from the lead.
In Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars,
Brad Dvorak holds the lead over Bob Ahrendsen by one
point. Randy Filling sits in third just
two points back.
Tim Dains’ win on Friday night earned
him the top spot in the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks with Rodney
Grother and Terry Shaffar right behind.
The Sunline
Hornets point lead is shard by Creston Williams and Brian Beaty,
both with 49 points. Nathan Ballard is four points behind in third place.
Racing action gets underway Friday night
at 7pm. Grandstand gates open and
practice starts at 6pm.
