Kay is convincing in Deery Series feature win at Cedar County

TIPTON, Iowa (Aug. 19) – Justin Kay continues to do his best to take the suspense out of the Deery Brothers Summer Series points battle.

Kay started on the pole and led every time around the track in winning Tuesday’s IMCA Late Model tour main event at Cedar County Raceway.

The feature ran green to checkered and probably took less time than Kay will need in depositing his $3,000 check, the fourth he’s endorsed this season.

Kyle Hinrichs ran second most of the way at Tipton and eventually crossed the stripe four car lengths be­hind Kay.

Tyler Bruening pressured Hinrichs before ending in third. Brian Harris and Brian Beaudry com­pleted the top five.

Scott Fitzpatrick won the $250 Sunoco Race Fuels feature qualifier drawing.

Next up for the series is the Monday, Sept. 1 event at Boone Speedway on opening night of the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals fueled by Casey’s.
