SEA, SIMON AND MEFFORD AMONG JULY 13 SHORT TRACK SATURDAY NIGHT WINNERS

 

(Cedar Rapids, IA 07/13/02)  After a several rainouts early in the season, Short Track Saturday Night has seen several successful nights of racing at Hawkeye Downs Speedway.

 

                Doug Simon continues to dominate the Lacey Plumbing Outlaw Super Stocks and has built a substantial lead in that division. Simon’s most recent trip to victory lane saw him finish ahead of  Dave Coghlan, Sr. and Scott Grady.

 

                Marty Sea wound up as the winner in the Automotive Fuel Systems feature finishing ahead of the Mike Walsh/Kevin Korsmo entry. The points stay with the cars in the Short Track Saturday Night divisions so it isn’t always clear who is driving a particular car.  Finishing behind  point leaders Walsh/Korsmo was Chuck Gaulke.

 

                Deb Mefford notched the win in the Wholly Smokes Women On Wheels edging out Danielle Auen and Jodi Cranston. Mefford has a fifty point edge in the point standings over Dana Scott.

 

                The tandem of  Matt Poduska/Brian Dvorak  topped the field in the Barron Motor Supply Two-driver Cruisers besting current point leaders Shellie O’Brien Perry and Jerry O’Brien.  Scott Siems and Chris Shakespeare finished in third.

 

                Tim Plummer took top honors in the Rock Solid Chassis Short Track Modifieds with Derrick Bliss second and current point leader Dave Coghlan, Sr. Coghlan has a narrow lead in the points chase with Bliss and Plummer both within a few points of the top slot.

 

                The Vintage Coupes continue to Provide some exciting racing along  Jeff Selfridge and Bill Gerot dominating the action.

 

Jeff Selfridge was able to wrestle the lead from Bill Gerot's Six Cylinder on lap 5 and won the

 

combined Vintage Coupe Feature.  The two started in the second row and Gerot got to the front first

 

and Selfridge chased him for a lap and then they went side-by-side for a three laps until Selfridge

 

finally got by. A spin involving Dan Haack brought out the caution, bunched the field, and Gerot

 

made a spirited challenge for the lead.  He was unable to make the pass and had to settle for

 

second to Selfridge. They were followed to the stripe by Jerry Keeney and Jim Thurston.  It was

 

the third feature win for Selfridge in the V-8 Division and the fourth for Gerot in the SIX-cylinder

 

Division.
