(Cedar Rapids, IA  070902)—Terry Schlipman probably thought the 50-lap IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series feature at Hawkeye Downs Speedway would never end. After taking the point on lap 10 Schlipman never relinquished the lead but he did have to stave off repeated challenges from Ken Schrader and Brad Osborn as the caution flag waved several times during the latter stages of the race.

 

                Schlipman, of Mendon, IL started in the front row while Schrader, who flew in from Indianapolis to race and sign autographs, started back  in the sixth row. Schrader quickly moved into the second slot but never was able to sustain a move for the lead.

 

                The other driver in the mix was Brad Osborn, who started in sixth and made repeated attempts to maneuver around Schrader. Osborn led most of last year’s race before breaking a driveshaft with just two laps to go, giving Schrader the win.

 

                Tom Darbyshire of Morning Sun, IA finished fourth behind Schlipman, Schrader and Osborn with Brent Slocum of Burlington finishing fifth.

 

                In addition to several cautions, the race was red-flagged briefly when Tysus Pattee flipped after a mishap with just a couple laps to go. Tysus was not injured but was unable to continue.

 

                Heat winners leading up to the 50-lap feature were Michael Cothren,Moline,IL;  Lonnie Bailey of Quincy, IL; and Brad Osborn of Janesville, IA.

 

                The Hawkeye Downs Performance Concepts Late Models also were in action Tuesday night running a dash, heats and a 30 lap feature.

 

                Jim Ross of Cedar Rapids collected the win in the Tri-County Car Company Dash while Jeff King, also of Cedar Rapids and Lorin Kurth of Waukon bagged heat wins.

 

                Ross appeared to have the fastest car on the track during the feature as he took command with six circuits remaining after starting in the fourth row. Ross took the lead from Lorin Kurth but as Kurth tried to battle back the two touched and spun putting Johnny Spaw into the lead.

 

                Spaw easily outdistanced the field from that point after starting back in 11th. Jeff King, posted a great effort, finishing in second after starting on the pole. Likewise, Scott Delsing had a good finish crossing the stripe in third after also starting in third.  Randy Coghlan continued his run of consistent finished crossing the stripe in fourth. Doug Hite finished in the fifth slot.
