CORPORON FINDS VICTORY LANE AT HAWKEYE DOWNS WITH CRATE MOTOR
Cedar Rapids, IA
060603—Max Corporon, Paul Walder, Eric Appleget, Curt Van Der Wal, and
Dudley Fleck all earned victories on “Duffy’s Collectible Cars Night” at
Hawkeye Downs Speedway. Hawkeye Downs was able to race despite rain that fell
most of the day. The clouds parted during the late afternoon and officials were
able to dry the track and adhere to the normal schedule.
Chalk up
victory number one for a “ General Motors “crate” motor as Max Corporon posted
the win in the Miller Time Modified feature. Corporon started in fifth and
quickly slipped into the lead. Bob Gase was the closest pursuer with current
ASA Papa Johns Cup Iowa Wireless Stock Car Championship point leader Larry
Clausen finishing in third. The Modified division has the option of using the
“Stock Version GM Crate Engine.”
The
Barron Motor Supply Super Stocks continue to provide great close-quarters
racing on the quarter-mile track. Paul Walder found a hole on the opening lap
and shot around and between the four cars that started ahead of him taking the
lead. Despite a couple quick cautions
Walder finished well ahead of Scott Grady and Jim Hanson as he picked up his
first win of the season.
The
Duffys’ Collectible Cars Legends feature went to Eric Appleget of Ely. Appleget
started outside the second row and shot into the lead staying out front for the
distance. Last weeks’ winner Landon Cassill gave Appleget a run in the closing
laps but settled for second. Tom Frady finished in third.
Curt Van
Der Wal held off Johnny Mudd and Andy Duggan in the closing laps to lay claim
to another win in the 30 lap Budweiser Late Model Sportsmen feature. Van Der Wal took the lead with nine laps
remaining using an outside move to take the position from Mel Schappert. Mudd
maintained second with Duggan finishing third according to Alliant Energy
Timing and Scoring.
Dudley
Fleck appears to be ready for this Wednesday’s Keith Fleck Miller 100 as he
posted the win in the Performance Concepts Late Models. Fleck took the lead on
the fourth trip around the half-mile after starting outside row one. Billy
Bennet, driving a car with the GM Late Model Crate Engine, challenged Fleck on
a couple occasions but settled for second with Scott Delsing finishing third.
Also on
the card Friday night were Nostalgia Stocks. While they race together there are
actually two divisions. Brian Halsted of Vinton was the winner in the sportsman
with Jamie Huff of Toddville taking the late model win.
