THOR ANDERSON CRUISES TO FIRST LATE MODEL WIN
SCOOTER DULIN FIRST TIME STOCK CAR WINNER
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (May 22) - Officials, fans, race teams, and drivers
breathed a collective sigh of relief Friday night as the first green flag
waved without a raindrop to be found and action resumed in the papa Johns
Pizza/I-Wireless Championship Cup chase. The past two race programs fell
victim to bad weather.
McGrath Auto Group presented racing action in seven divisions Friday night
which was also “Bikini Tops and Cowboy Boots night” which allowed fans to
earn half-price or free admission by wearing one or both items.
Tim Plummer topped Miller Lite Late Model qualifying, turning a fast lap of
19.004 seconds in his week of competition in this division.
In the forty-lap Miller Lite Late Model feature, Jim Ross bolted into the
lead as the green waved but Thor Anderson quickly chased Ross down and
scooted into the lead on lap four. As Anderson motored toward his first
Hawkeye Downs Late Model win, several other drivers including Tim Plummer,
Griffin McGrath, Johnny Spaw, and Brad Dvorak staged battles for position in
the top five.
Plummer finished a solid second followed by Griffin McGrath, May 1st feature
winner Johnny Spaw, and Brad Dvorak.
Scooter Dulin was a first time winner on the quarter-mile, nabbing the
checkers in the 25-lap Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stock Car feature. Dulin
started inside the second row and took about five circuits to grab the lead
from Greg Hentrich. Dulin survived a late challenge from Kurt Bohnsack but
held him off for the win. Bohnsack crossed the stripe in second followed by
Hentrich, Cory Houdek, and Bob Ahrendsen.
Nathan Chandler took a wild ride on the opening lap of the Sunline Hornets
feature, flipping two-and-a half times as he tangled with a couple other
cars entering turn two. Chandler was unhurt but unable to to continue, When
racing resumed, Jim Hanson quickly separated himself from the seventeen car
field while some great position battles raged behind him. Jeff Selfridge
battled Brad Chandler and Shane Hanson to score second place after starting
in the sixth row. Hanson finished third followed by Chandler and Derek
Parrott.
The Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stock feature saw Scott Siems land in
Coca-Cola Victory Lane after starting outside row three. Nathan Ballard
crossed the stripe in second with May 1 feature winner Roland Bohnsack,
Jeremy Robbins, and Jacob Floyd.
The Budweiser Mid-Am Sportsmen feature saw Andy Duggan in command from start
to finish and he quickly took the lead after starting inside row two in the
14-lap race. Duggan had to like what he saw in his rear-view and Michael
Weber and defending champ Dave McCalla battled side-by-side for second place
for virtually the entire race. Weber prevailed for second followed by
McCalla, Doug Simon, and Travis Thompson.
Tim Plummer took top honors in the Coors Light Modified feature after
drawing the point.
