MOBERLY, Mo. (May 2, 2015) – For the first Holley Iron Man Series event held at the Randolph County Raceway, two new names were etched into the record books when Derrick Agee and Luke Nieman notched their career-first series wins.
Nieman, from Nortonville, Kan., slid by leader Tyler Lewis with 10 laps complete in the USRA B-Mod main event, and then ran away from the field over the final eight laps to score a $600 victory.
Dakota Foster got by Lewis for the runner-up spot, Brandon Lennox was fourth and Jared Timmerman completed the top five.
Cody Agee started on the pole in the 20-lap USRA Stock Car feature race and held serve for the first 11 laps until USMTS boss Todd Staley slid up to take away the top spot on lap 12.
After completing lap 13, a flat tire ended Staley’s run while Derrick Agee—the older of the two brothers from Moberly—assumed the point.
For the final six laps, Derrick Agee held off a furious challenge from 14th-starting Nathan Wood to claim the $750 winner’s paycheck.
Friday night’s winner and current points leader, Steve Jackson, was a close third, with Tom Schmitt and Kyle Falck finishing fourth and fifth.
The Holley Iron Man Series returns to action later this month with both USRA Stock Cars and USRA B-Mods in action for three nights of racing over four days.
On Thursday, May 21, the series heads to the Crawford County Speedway in Denison, Iowa. After a day off, the battle moves north to the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., on Saturday, May 23, and then wraps up the month on Sunday, May 24, at the Upper Iowa Speedway in Decorah, Iowa.
