CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (June 4) - Justin Jennings of LaGrange, MO and Tim Dains of Marion both recorded their first feature wins in their respective divisions on Cassill Motors Night at Cedar Rapids’ Hawkeye Downs Speedway. Jennings, the 2009 Rookie of the Year in Performance Concepts Late Models, won his first career feature while Dains, who has raced in other divisions at Hawkeye Downs, took his first win in Coca-Cola IMCA SportMods. In Papa Johns Cup/I-Wireless Championship Series events Friday night, Tim Plummer was the first feature winner of the night collecting his third Performance Concepts Late Models win of 2010. The race was a make-up event from an earlier rainout. Plummer started outside row one and took the lead on lap six which he never relinquished despite a couple cautions. The last caution came just as the field was coming to the white flag when the second place car of Johnny Spaw erupted in white smoke with apparent engine problems. Plummer maintained the lead on the restart with Kyle Hinrichs making a big move on the final lap as he went from fourth to second. Justin Jennings finished third with Brad Dvorak and Ken Reiser filling out the top five Nathan Ballard continued his early season domination of the Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stock division, taking the 15-lap feature event. Duayne Herb and Matt Petrzelka appeared to be the cars to beat in the early going but with four laps to go Ballard had moved from 7th to 2nd and was set to challenge for the lead. He slid around Herb and into the lead with two laps remaining and went on to collect the checkers for the fourth time this season. Herb maintained second while Jeremy Robbins moved into third on the final lap. Petrzelka finished fourth and Roland Bohnsack brought home fifth. Tim Plummer notched yet another win in Budweiser Modifieds Friday night. Plummer took the point after a lap three restart and was never heeded as he collected his fourth straight feature win. Larry Clausen did gain some ground as the laps ticked off but Plummer still crossed the finish line .726 seconds ahead of Clausen. Craig Bender was third while Rodney Rocarek and Ryan Luedtke finished out the order. Jim Hanson racked up his second win of the 2010 campaign in Barron Motor Supply IMCA Stocks Cars after taking the lead from David Ballstaedt on lap six. Hanson continued to lead through lap 12 when Bob Ahrendsen moved into the picture and in fact took a slight lead before caution waved for a traffic cone that had been knocked onto the track. When racing resumed Hanson was able to defend his position through the final three laps forcing Ahrendsen, the current point leader, to settle for second by just .081 seconds. Kurt Bohnsack finished third while Ballstaedt was fourth and Cory Houdek was fifth. Tim Dains outpaced the Coca-Cola IMCA SportMods after starting on the point. Blake Carson and Scott Kositzky each took turns challenging from the second position before Aric Becker locked down the number two slot with five laps remaining. Becker couldn’t muster a serious challenge for the point and Dains, a former Hawkeye Downs Hobby Stock champion, scored fir first feature win since moving to the SportMods. Becker maintained second with Kositzky and Blake Carson close behind. The first ten laps of the Sunline Hornets feature could only be described as “wild and crazy” with multiple position changes on each lap amongst the twenty-three car field. Most of the action occurred behind leader Brad Burhite and then things settled down a bit as caution waved on lap 11. Burhite, Bryce Bailey, Brad Chandler, Dallas Chandler, and Derek Parrott were at the front of the field on the restart with Bailey squeezing into the lead shortly after the restart. The front-runners stayed status quo as the laps ticked off with plenty of action on the quarter-mile behind the leaders. Bailey scored his second-straight feature win crossing the stripe just ahead of Dallas Chandler. Brad Chandler was third followed by Brad Burhite and Derek Parrott. The second Performance Concepts Late Model feature was a wild affair that saw 5 lead changes among four different cars throughout the race. Lane Brendan started on the pole and led the first 15 circuits around the half-mile before points leader Tim Plummer used an outside pass to secure the lead. The lead was short-lived however as three laps later either a tire let go or another problem occurred that send Plummer into the foam barrier in turn two, ending his night. That put eventual race winner Justin Jennings into the lead for the restart but his run to the checkers was interrupted by another caution flag with four laps remaining. Ken Reiser got an excellent restart and moved ahead of Jennings as the field charged into turn one. Reiser continued to lead with Jennings moving up to challenge and on the final lap Reiser got a little high and into the marbles in turns three and four allowing Jennings to regain the lead exiting turn four for the final time. Brad Dvorak and Kyle Hinrichs both were able to motor under Reiser as well, finishing second and third. Reiser recovered nicely to finish fourth while Brad Osborn finished fifth. Andy Duggan posted his fourth win of 2010 in Speed-e-Pan Sportsmen. The field was scrambled on the first lap as caution waved for Doug Simon and Ben Glascock. The restart put Dave McCalla, who is in his first week back after suffering an accident earlier in the season, on Duggan’s tail. While McCalla did gain some ground on Duggan as the laps wound down, he was unable to draw close enough for a challenge. Maccall settled for second with last weeks’ winner travis Thompson third and Doug Simon, fourth. There was racing of another sort as well Friday night as the Lil’ Racer Car Club hosted a series of bicycle races for various age groups. The kids competed for prizes including trophies. Kids can sign up for Lil’ Racer Car Club under the main grandstand during regular race nights. There will be no Lil Racer Car Club events during this Friday night’s ASA MWT Keith Fleck Miller 100 event. Most of the Hawkeye Downs divisions have Friday night, June 11 off as the ASA Midwest Tour invades Hawkeye Downs for the 38th Annual Keith Fleck Miller 100. The Sunline Hornets are running points races in support of the event which features ASA Midwest Tour Late Models, ASA Midwest Tour Sportsmen, and ASA Midwest Tour Trucks.
