Bobby Pierce dominates night one of Quad Cities 150
DAVENPORT, Ia. (August 24, 2023) – It may have taken awhile, but Bobby Pierce captured the night one feature of the My Place Hotels Quad Cities 150 presented by Hoker Trucking LLC. The entire racing program at Davenport Speedway was delayed one hour due to the excessive heat on Thursday.
Pierce, who had finished second five times in Case Construction World of Outlaw Late Model competition at Davenport, finally made it to victory lane. Pierce started third in the 35-lap feature. Bobby went to the high side on lap six to take the lead as Shane Clanton and Dennis Erb Jr. battled for the top spot. Once in the lead, Pierce would lead the remainder of the race that went green, white, checkered.
Erb was able to dispose of Clanton but had to hold off a charging Brandon Sheppard to secure a second place finish. Following Sheppard in fourth was Nick Hoffman. Kyle Bronson rounded out the top five.
Late model heat races were won by Shane Clanton, Dennis Erb Jr., Bobby Pierce, and Cade Dillard. Last chance showdowns went to Iowa racers Chad Simpson and Tyler Bruening. Bobby Pierce set the pace in qualifying with a lap of 13.380 seconds. Thirty-five late models were on hand to compete for the $10,000 first place prize.
Friday will bring night two of the Quad Cities 150 to the Davenport Speedway. The program will again feature the World of Outlaw Late Models. The Xtreme Outlaw Midgets will also be in action.
