admin | May 12, 2024

DAVENPORT, Ia. (May 10, 2024) – The fans in the stands saw a great night of racing, Friday at Davenport Speedway. Late race lead changes and a couple of first-time Davenport winners gave a spark to a night that saw the entire 21-race program completed in just two and a half hours.

Bryce Garnhart had an excellent view of the Outhouse and Storage to Go Container Rentals IMCA Late Model feature. Garnhart started on the pole and led all twenty-five laps of the main. The victory was his first late model feature win at Davenport.

Chuck Hanna started outside of Bryce and gave chase throughout the race. Late in the run, Hanna had to hold off the challenge of Andy Nezworski for second. Hanna would finish in the runner-up spot with Nezworski taking third. Evan Miller and Logan Duffy were fourth and fifth respectively.

Hanna, Garnhart, and Matt Ryan captured late model heat race wins.

Young Charlie Mohr of Bettendorf finally broke through for his first Wangelin’s Auto IMCA Modified feature win. Mohr started in the eighth position and worked his way forward as Scott Lemke and Andrew Hamburg swapped the early race lead several times.

At the midpoint of the race, Mohr made it a three-way tussle for the top spot. On lap thirteen, Charlie cleared the pack and would lead the rest of the way to the checkers.

Chris Zogg started alongside the race winner and would finish second. Hamburg took third with Lemke fourth. Pole sitter Dustin Smith rounded out the top five.

Jarrett Franzen scored his first D&K Home Products IMCA SportMod feature win of the season after an intense battle with Shane Paris. Both drivers led laps early in the race. Paris tried to retake the lead midway through the race when he made contact with a lapped car, dropping himself back to third. Shane rallied back and briefly took the lead at the white flag. Franzen powered his way back into the lead on the final lap for the win.

Logan Veloz started deep in the field and fought his way to a third-place finish. Cole Stichter was fourth, just ahead of Ryan Walker.

Tony VonDresky made it back-to-back feature wins in the Koehler Electric Outlaw Street Stocks.

Tony started fourth and quickly made it to the lead. Late in the race, Rob Henry would wrestle the lead away from Tony. VonDresky put the power down on the high side of the track and retook the race lead for the final two laps. Andrew Burk, Donnie Louck, and Jake Lund finished third through fifth, in that order.

Daniel Wauters became the third different feature winner of the season in Theisen’s IMCA Hobby Stock action. Wauters started seventh, grabbed the lead on lap five, and led the remaining laps for the victory. Jordan Miles was second, just ahead of Karter Miles in third. Randy LaMar and August Bach completed the top five.

Cyle Hawkins captured his second Fred’s Towing & Cantrell’s Towing 4-Cylinder feature win of the year. Cyle had to survive a four-way battle for the top spot to claim victory. Josh Starr came home second. Shawn McDermott took third. Joe Lafrenz was fourth and Trent Lebarge fifth.
