by Mike McGuire
DAVENPORT, Ia. (September 18, 2020) – The Night of Destruction delighted the fans at the
Davenport Speedway Friday night. The event featured Cheater Races in four stock car classes, the Trailer Race, and the Midwest Jalopies.
Derrick Carlson blitzed the field in Modified action. Carlson started ninth and took thelead on lap four. Derrick went unchallenged the rest of the way for the win. Brandon Durbin started sixth and finished second. Third went to Ray Cox Jr., followed by Joe Beal and Mike Goben.
SportMods put on a heck of a show in their feature race. Mark VerVynck led from the drop of the green and built up a sizeable lead. However he faltered in the final two laps allowing both
Anthony Franklin and Brandon Jewell to get him at the finish line. Franklin took the win by a narrow margin over Jewell, with VerVynck a close third. Dustin Schram and Randy Farrell rounded out the top five.
Jesse Owen made cheating look easy in the street stock main. Owen led all fifteen laps en route to the win. Tony VonDresky came from sixth to finish second, while Nick Hixson drove from eighth to third. Jeff Struck Jr. took fourth and Jeremy Gustaf fifth.
Josh Riley was the man to beat in the 4-Stocks. Riley grabbed the lead from Chris Courson on lap five and led to the checkers. Courson held on for second over Cyle Hawkins. Nick Proehl and Josh Starr were fourth and fifth respectively.
Terry Doud drove through the field in the Midwest Jalopies main. Doud had to chase down Pat Bailey to get the lead on lap nine of the twelve lap race. Bailey held on for second with Jeff Blunt third.
Once the stock cars were finished, it was time for the trailer race. The Fan Favorite Award went to Michael Hulsing for his Marvel Comic-Hulk entry. After the crash-fest and the smoke cleared, the fans chose Ray Daily Jr. as the Trailer Race winner.
There is one race remaining on the Davenport Speedway schedule for 2020. The 27th Iowa Governor’s Cup will be held Saturday, September 26th.
