(Cedar
Rapids, IA 08/01/03) Veteran dirt driver and Hawkeye Downs rookie Pavement
driver Denny Osborn posted his first career pavement win Friday night during
the “4th Annual KHAK Free Race.” Osborn prevailed despite 2 cautions
that bunched the field and set up a serious challenge from Randy Coghlan on the
last restart.
Osborn started on the pole and
clearly had the fastest car throughout the race, according to Alliant Energy
Transponder Timing and Scoring. Coghlan finished in second after starting in
fifth, while Johnny Spaw finished in third after taking the green in the 10th slot.
In other action in the “Papa Johns
Cup Iowa Wireless Stock Car Championship,” Curtis Van Der Wal picked up his 4th
win of the season in the Budweiser Late Model Sportsmen feature. A capacity
crowd saw Van Der Wal use the high side to execute a pass on Mel Schappert on
lap 19 to take the lead. John Henecke challenged for the lead during a restart
on lap 23 but Van Der Wal prevailed and Henecke settled for second. Kevin
Korsmo posted a third place finish after starting back in 11th.
Dave McCalla notched an impressive
win in the Barron Motor Supply Super Stocks feature after starting 16th
in the 19 car field and sailing through the pack. By the halfway mark of the 30
lap feature, McCalla was in command of the race and he won by a margin of 4.8
seconds over Sonny Parker. Aric Becker started and finished in third.
The “youth movement” continues to
make its presence felt in the Miller Time Modified division as 15-year old Kyle
Hinrichs picked up his second win in four races. Hinrichs started in third and
had command of the 17 car field by the third trip around the Hawkeye Downs
half-mile after battling briefly with Arlo Becker. Becker finished in second,
about a second and a half behind Hinrichs. Bob Gase, finished in third after
gridding in sixth.
The Special K Motorsports IMCA Stock
Cars were also back in action Friday night with Larry Silbaugh of Jefferson
collecting the checkers. Silbaugh has been making the long trek from Jefferson
since the IMCA division starting running at Hawkeye Downs and this was his
second win. Ronnie Godwin of Earlham finished in second and Doug Simon of
Marion crossed the stripe in third.
