LATE MODELS BACK IN ACTION THIS FRIDAY

(Cedar Rapids, IA  07/31/07)—Racing resumes this Friday night at  ASA- Sanctioned Hawkeye Downs Speedway with seven divisions of racing on the quarter-mile and half-mile tracks.

 

            The Performance Concepts Late Models return for the third time this season and will be joined by Budweiser Sportsmen, Miller Time Modifieds, Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars, Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks, Sunline Hornets, and Go Karts. The IMCA Sportmods have the week off.

 

            Dudley Fleck of Cedar Rapids leads the “unofficial” points for the Performance Concepts Late Models by virtue of his two feature wins so far this season. Griffin McGrath, also of CR, is three points behind Fleck and Ken Reiser of Waukon is in third, seven points behind the leader.

 

            In Budweiser Sportsmen, David McCalla continues to lead the way with seven victories and a five point lead over Andy Duggan.

 

            Tim Plummer continues to hold a very slim lead in the Miller Time Modifieds. Plummer, of Norway, leads Chad Willet of Alburnett by just two points. They each have three trips to Coca-Cola Victory Lane. Arlo Becker sits eight points behind the leader in third.

 

            In the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Cars, Bob Ahrendsen of Cedar Rapids continues to prove that consistency pays off as he leads the division by seven points despite not having won a feature. Randy Filling of Toddville and Kurt Bohnsack of Iowa City are tied for second in the standings.

 

            Marion driver Tim Dains sits atop the chart in the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks with a somewhat comfortable nine point margin over Dennis Klinsky of Ely. Rodney Grother of Cedar Rapids is in third.

 

            Teammates Brian Beaty of Palo and Shaun Myers of Cedar Rapids are tied for the lead in the Sunline Hornets. Beaty holds the edge in victories with three to Myers one.  Brad Chandler is in third.
