Back to business at the Davenport Speedway
After the annual break for the Great Mississippi Valley Fair, the Davenport Speedway will roar back into action this Friday, August 12th. With just three point races remaining in the season, the battles for the 2011 track championships will be hotly contested.
The Petersen Plumbing & Heating IMCA Late Model season is becoming a tussle between two drivers. Defending track and IMCA national late model champion, Ray Guss Jr. (Milan, Ill.), trails Nate Bueseling of Silvis by only four points. Both drivers have captured two feature wins in the nine races held this season.
While the late model point race is tight, the Engineering Maintenance Service IMCA Modifieds are in a battle royale. Five drivers, Doug Crampton, Dean McGee, Thad Wilson, Bob Dominacki, and Brian Webb are all within eleven points. Dominacki, with five victories, trails point leader Webb by a single point, while Wilson trails Webb by two points.
The Koehler Electric Street Stock class is led by Jeremy Marquette of Davenport, with five feature wins. Cary Brown is second, 16 points back, and has one feature win.
The LuJack Auto Plaza 4 Stock class has again led the way with the most disqualifications this season. Wade Dahl has two victories and leads the points. Second place Luke Thurness is eleven markers back.
The racing action will return to the Davenport Speedway quarter-mile dirt oval on Friday, August 12th. That evening will be Kids Back to School Night.
The August 19th racing program will include Powder Puff Races. The 2011 Season Championships will be run on Friday, August 26th.
The Davenport Speedway is located at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, on West Locust Street, in Davenport. Pit gates at The Davenport Speedway open at 4:30 p.m. Hot laps are at 6:30pm and racing starts at 7pm.
