DOWNS
( Cedar Rapids, IA 07/08/03)--The IMCA Deery Brother
Summer Series calling at Hawkeye Downs Speedway on
Tuesday night for the 11th time since the track was
paved. 30 IMCA Late Models signed in to
do battle on the asphalt Tuesday night and battle they did. Racing three and
four wide at times, the dirt warriors let it all hang out on the Hawkeye Downs
half-mile, showing they weren’t afraid to bang on each other just a bit while
battling for positions..
NASCAR Winston Cup driver Ken Schrader won the 30 lap
IMCA Late Model feature finishing ahead
of Lonnie Bailey, Greg Kastli, Johnny Spaw, and Brian
Harris. Schrader, who breaks out the #99 Federated Auto Parts machine one time
a year for this race, took command of the race on lap 23 after leader Lavern Carey slipped a bit
coming out of turn three.
Schrader started the race in eighth and emerged unscathed
from a wild first part of the race. Schrader said,” Those first three laps my
heart beat more than it has all year.”
In Coca Cola Victory Lane Schrader added,” It was really
neat to come here and race guys with no mirrors, and they run you clean. It’s a
lot of fun and I enjoy coming here.”
Doug Simon posted another win in the Special K
Motorsports IMCA Stock Cars,
crossing the stripe ahead of Rick Brown, Larry Silbaugh,
Norman Chesmore, and
Aric Becker. The win was the fourth in five starts in the
upstart class that runs several times during thr season on the quarter-mile.
Also in action were the IMCA Hobby Stocks. That feature
win went to former IMCA National Champ
Bill Bonnett.
He was chased to the stripe by Nyle Godwin, John Watson,
Troy Hudson, and
Jerry Hinton.
Landon Cassill notched another victory in the Duffy's
Collectible Cars Legends
finishing in front of
Tom Frady, Ross Zumbach, Keith Meyer, and Ron Fare.
