Brenner edges out Ross for Davenport LM Checkers

DAVENPORT, Ia. (May 18, 2012) – Racing veteran Leroy Brenner showed that he still has what it takes to get to victory lane as he scored a nail-biter of a win in the Petersen Plumbing & Heating IMCA Late Model feature. Brenner and Joe Ross of Thomson, Illinois, raced side by side for nearly all of the 25 lap main which was slowed only once by caution. The lead duo swapped the lead seven times over the course of the race, before Brenner finally took the win.

Mike Murphy Jr. continued to build on his late model point lead with a third place finish. Nate Beuseling took fourth, just ahead of Ray Guss Jr., in fifth.

Late model heat wins went to Guss, Stephan Kammerer, and Marty Diercks.

John Ahlers captured his first feature win of the season in the EMS IMCA Modified division. Todd Dykema scored his best finish of the season in second, with Brian Webb coming home in third. Dean McGee and Doug Crampton rounded out the top five.

Recent high school graduate, Emily Gade chalked up one in the win column in the Koehler Electric Street Stocks. Emily used a good starting spot to top street stock point leader Jeremy Marquette for the win. Chip Kohl, Cary Brown, and Keith Blum were third through fifth respectively.

In Roto-Rooter 4-Stock action, Jake Ellithorpe took the checkers.  The victory was Jake’s first at Davenport this year. Aaron Hitt finished second for the second straight week. Steven Phillips was third with Gage Neal fourth, and Steve Boyle fifth.

Through the first three point races of the 2012 season at the Davenport Speedway, there have not been any repeat winners in any of the four weekly classes.

Friday was School’s Out- Kid’s Night with a special appearance eby the Midwest Jalopies. More than a dozen coupes were on hand for a little racing nostalgia. Rodney Haack took the feature win with Tim Bader and Bob Mingst completing the top three.

Next Friday night at the Davenport Speedway will be the IMCA Modified Madness 50. A fifty lap feature for the open wheel stock cars, that will pay $2,000 to the winner. The other three classes will be racing for weekly points.
