Morris scores second late model win at Davenport
DAVENPORT, Ia. (June 7, 2024) –Friday was Family Fun Day at Davenport Speedway. Kids were treated to inflatables and bicycle giveaways, while the adults were entertained by awesome racing action and an appearance of the Midwest Jalopies.
The Outhouse and Storage to Go Container Rentals IMCA Late Model division finally has its first repeat winner of the season. Appropriately, it is also the first winner of the season, Mitch Morris of McCausland, Iowa.
Mitch started sixth in the feature. When Evan Miller drove to the front of the pack, early in the race, Morris followed. On the twentieth lap, Morris made his move around Miller for the lead. He pulled out to a 1.347 second lead at the checkers.
Miller held on for second with Nathan Balensiefen taking third. Matt Ryan and Joe Beal rounded out the top five. Late model heat races were won by Balensiefen, Andy Nezworski, and Jesse Bodin.
Wangelin’s Auto IMCA Modified action saw a first time feature winner for the year in Ben Chapman of Clarence, Iowa. Chapman started in the tenth position and spent most of the 20-lap main chasing down Matt Stein of Davenport.
Stein started on the pole and led the first seventeen laps of the race. After Chapman took the lead, Stein had to fend off Dustin Smith to secure a second place finish. Smith finished third followed by Mitch Way and Scotte Lemke.
Logan Veloz banked another D&K Home Products IMCA SportMod feature victory. The win was his fifth of the season. Veloz started twelfth and rocketed into the lead on lap three. Ryan Walker started tenth and worked his way to a runner-up finish. Justin Veloz, Dakota Cole, and Josh Starr were third through fifth in that order.

Tony VonDresky made a late race charge to finish second. Riggs held on to finish third. Cary Brown and Jesse Owen completed the first five.
Jordan Miles picked off a win in the Theisen’s IMCA Hobby Stock feature. Randy LaMar held the early race lead. On a restart, while LaMar was protecting the bottom, Miles drove by on the high side to take the lead an eventually the win. LaMar held on for second with Cody Staley third. Daniel Wauters and Jamie Hixson were fourth and fifth.
The Fred’s Towing & Cantrell’s Towing 4-Cylinders had the night off. Our special guests for the evening were the vintage racing coupes of the Midwest Jalopies.
