BRIAN ALLEN TOPS MODIFIEDS AT HAWKEYE DOWNS

SIMON , HENECKE, HINRICHS EARN WINS ALSO

 

By Brad Grupe

(Cedar Rapids, IA  07/05/02)—Brian Allen of Hiawatha made winning look easy Friday night at Hawkeye Downs Speedway on Hochstetler Towing night. Allen took home a hefty $1000 paycheck in winning the “Sperry Engines 40” for Miller Time Modifieds. The race was the longest of the year for the division.

 

                Allen started outside row five, worked his way toward the front and seized the lead from Arlo Becker on lap nine using the outside grove to perfection. Allen amassed a huge lead in the caution-free race and finished a full straight ahead of  Larry Clausen and  point leader Mike Schulte. The win was the third of the  season for Allen. Bob Gase finished in fourth while Keith Gogel collected the fifth slot.

 

                In other “ASA Papa Johns Cup presented by Iowa Wireless” action, Doug Simon finally found Coca-Cola Victory Lane on Friday night. Simon has led the Barron Motor Supply Super Stocks  points chase much of the season thanks to consistent finishes, but Friday night was his first win of 2002. Simon took advantage of a front row starting slot and bolted into the lead on the second trip around the quarter-mile. A trio of Special K Motorsports drivers-Kurt Bohnsack, Brad Dvorak, and Bob Ahrendsen crossed the stripe behind Simon.  Jeff Franks finished fifth.

 

                Johns Henecke picked up his second win of the season passing pole sitter Craig Bender on lap two in route to the checkered flag in the Budweiser Sportsmen division. Defending champion Curt Van Der Wal, who started in the fifth row,  made things interesting in the closing laps but couldn’t close enough distance to mount a serious challenge. Craig Bender finished third with  former Modified driver Scott Wennermark finishing fourth in just his second outing in a car with fenders. Wennermark also picked up the dash win earlier in the program. Ron Fisher rounded out the top five.

 

                Kyle Hinrichs continued his winning ways in the Foreman Hydraulics Legends division finding victory lane after starting in the third row. The Swisher teen picked up his fourth win of the season and also won a “dash” event earlier in the evening. Kevin Foreman followed Hinrichs to the checkers with  Eric Appleget,  Tom Frady, and Chris Sevey next across the stripe.

 

The Performance Concepts Late Models had the night off.
