Davis, Dvorak, Krug top Tuesday qualifiers at Super Nationals
BOONE, Iowa (Sept. 7) – Scott Davis is hoping his
career 13th main event appearance leads to a second IMCA
Speedway Motors Super Nationals championship.
Danny Dvorak and Chad Krug also hope Tuesday success on the track at Boone
Speedway leads to even bigger and better things come Saturday night.
After replacing an engine that expired in Monday night’s qualifier at Boone
Speedway, Davis took charge at midway and led to the finish of his Tuesday
evening Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature.
He’ll start on the front of the middle row of the main event on Saturday.
Eric Flander led the early going Tuesday night. The only caution came on lap
eight and Davis eked ahead as the front pair came to the stripe halfway
through the 20 lapper.
Flander kept up the chase, but couldn’t keep a back runner between his car
and Davis’ and had to settle for a distant second.
The rest of the top 10 advancing to the middle row of Saturday’s big dance
include R.J. Merchant, Matt Oreskovich, Eric Elliott, Brett Moffitt,
defending champion Mike Pruitt, Cody Hudson, Matt Hoeft and Geoff Olson.
The 1998 Stock Car king, Davis owns six career main event starts in both
that class and the Northern SportMods, and another in the Modifieds.
Dvorak led the distance of the second SportMod qualifier, which ran green
the last nine circuits. Tad Reutzel kept up the pursuit from start to
finish.
Lining up behind Dvorak, now a four time qualifier for the SportMod show,
and Reutzel on the outside row Saturday will be Randy Roberts, Steve Reetz,
Brandon Leeman, Blake Peeler, Lynn Brockett, Jim Gillenwater, Adam Ackerman
and Kyle Bentley.
Krug drew the pole and wasn’t seriously challenged through the Hobby Stock
20 lapper. He drove away following the second and final caution of the
contest to secure the outside front row start in his career first Super
Nationals main event.
Completing the outside row will be top 10 finishers are Chuck Madden Jr.,
four time champion Andy Boeckman, Russell Damme Jr., Matthew Shely, Mike
Traskowsky, nine time qualifier Chris Jensen, Danny Watson, 1998 champion
Bill Bonnett and Chad Shaw.
Shaw’s claim to fame is becoming the first driver from Missouri to qualify
for the Hobby Stock feature since the division was added to the Super
Nationals program in 1997.
Two hundred and seventy Modifieds and 170 Stock Cars will see their first
qualifying action at Boone on Wednesday.
