THOR ANDERSON CRUISES TO FIRST LATE
MODEL WIN
SCOOTER DULIN FIRST TIME STOCK CAR
WINNER
(Cedar Rapids, IA 05/23/09)—Officials, fans, race
teams, and drivers breathed a collective sigh of relief Friday night as the
first green flag waved without a raindrop to be found and action resumed in the
papa Johns Pizza/I-Wireless Championship Cup chase.
The past two race programs fell victim to bad weather.
McGrath Auto Group presented racing
action in seven divisions Friday night which was also “Bikini Tops and Cowboy
Boots night” which allowed fans to earn half-price or free admission by wearing
one or both items.
Tim Plummer topped Miller Lite Late Model qualifying, turning a fast lap of 19.004
seconds in his week of competition in this division.
In the forty-lap Miller Lite Late Model feature, Jim Ross bolted into the lead as
the green waved but Thor Anderson quickly chased Ross down and scooted into the
lead on lap four. As Anderson motored toward his first Hawkeye Downs Late Model
win, several other drivers including Tim Plummer, Griffin McGrath, Johnny Spaw, and Brad Dvorak staged battles for position in the
top five.
Plummer finished a solid second followed
by Griffin McGrath, May 1st feature winner Johnny Spaw, and Brad Dvorak.
Scooter Dulin
was a first time winner on the quarter-mile, nabbing the checkers in the 25-lap
Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Car feature. Dulin
started inside the second row and took about five circuits to grab the lead
from Greg Hentrich. Dulin survived a late challenge
from Kurt Bohnsack but held him off for the win. Bohnsack
crossed the stripe in second followed by Hentrich, Cory Houdek, and Bob
Ahrendsen.
Nathan Chandler took a wild ride on the
opening lap of the Sunline Hornets feature, flipping two-and-a half times as he
tangled with a couple other cars entering turn two.
Chandler was unhurt but unable to to continue, When racing
resumed, Jim Hanson quickly separated himself from the seventeen car field
while some great position battles raged behind him. Jeff Selfridge battled Brad
Chandler and Shane Hanson to score second place after starting in the sixth
row. Hanson finished third followed by Chandler and Derek Parrott.
The Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stock
feature saw Scott Siems land in Coca-Cola Victory Lane after starting outside
row three. Nathan Ballard crossed the stripe in second with May 1 feature
winner Roland Bohnsack, Jeremy Robbins, and Jacob Floyd.
The Budweiser Mid-Am Sportsmen feature
saw Andy Duggan in command from start to finish and he quickly took the lead
after starting inside row two in the 14-lap race. Duggan had to like what he saw in his
rear-view and Michael Weber and defending champ Dave McCalla battled
side-by-side for second place for virtually the entire race. Weber
prevailed for second followed by McCalla, Doug Simon, and Travis Thompson.
Tim Plummer took top honors in the Coors
Light Modified feature after drawing the point.
