Long takes Pepsi Liberty Cup victory at
Lee
County
Mueller wins stock car feature, Cook gets sport mod win
By Dewain Hulett
DONNELLSON, Iowa (July 2, 2009) – Michael Long took the
lead early and ran away for the big payday at the 2nd Annual
Pepsi Liberty Cup during the Miller Lite IMCA Modified feature at Lee County
Speedway, Thursday.
Jeff Mueller, who finished second last year in Liberty
Cup action, left no doubt who was the best car as he picked up the Budweiser
IMCA Stock Car feature win. Jason Cook took his first career Lawson Racing
Engine and Parts Supply IMCA Sport Mod feature.
Long started fifth and had the lead by the second lap.
Two cautions slowed the event as Long used the restarts to get open track
and run away with the feature win. He was able to find his way through
lapped traffic easily late in the race. Josh Foster, who won one of the
B-mains, finished second, while Dustin Kraklio was third. Troy Cordes and
Nate Caruth rounded out the top five.
While Mueller was running away with a feature win out
front, last season’s winner was making a hard charge from deep in the field.
Abe Huls started 17th and moved through the field to finish
fourth. Aaron Brockseick led early, but settled for third, while
Mike Van Genderen finished second. Darin Thye
rounded out the top five.
It was the first feature win for Cook in the Fenton
owned sport mod he has been running on a weekly basis at Lee County Speedway
this season. Jacob Smith led early on his way to a solid second place
finish, while Rodger Dresden finished third. Paul Underwood and Phillip
Cossel, who was driving Lonnie McCarty’s 64 machine, was fifth.
Racing action returns the 3/8ths mile speedway Friday
night as the Pilot Grove Savings Bank and Ideal Ready Mix IMCA Late Models
return to the speedway on Richard Reality and Auction Night. The 305 Sprint
Cars, presented by Olson Brothers Custom Shop, return as well, along with
the Donnellson Tire Hobby Stocks and Feinberg Metal Recycling Wild Things.
Hot laps start at 7 p.m. and racing begins at 7:30 p.m.
