by Ed Potter

MAQUOKETA, Ia (April 15, 2006) - Saturday the Deery Brothers Summer Series IMCA Late Models made thier annual visit to Jackson County Speedway with forty-two late models on hand. Despite breezy and cloudy skies the program got completed. Pole sitter, Jeff Aikey charged off into the lead of the fifty lap feature and had everything under control for the first half of the race.
By lap twenty-six Terry Neal and Rob Toland had worked up to right behind the leader. Then it looked like a big caution was going to come. The leader had worked up to lap a car when the car they were approaching got sideways, jamming everything and everyone up. Somehow all the cars kept moving with Terry Neal taking over the point, over Toland and Aikey. Two laps later the caution did fly putting all twenty-two cars back on the lead lap.

On the restart Neal held on for the lead with Toland and Aikey in hot pursuit. At the finish they were still in that order with Jay Johnson taking furth and Mike Smith fifth. Heat race wins went to Boone McLaughlin, Neal, Johnson, Smith and Andy Nezworski. The consi's were won by Ron Gustaf and Daqle Stolte.

The B Modified feature was action packed and had five different drivers take the lead before the winner was decided.Brad Pershy took the early lead with Mike Baker taking over on a lap four restart. Two laps later the fifth and final caution came out involving Baker and Pershy. On the restart Matt Irwin went to the front with Jason Pershy taking over on lap eight. One lap later tenth place starter, B.J. Jackson got by and held on to take the victory. Jason Pershy was second followed by Ben Travers, Irwin and Max Leonard, in that order. Heat wins went to Shawn Flagel and Baker.

Street Stock driver, Mike Driscoll won the heat race and then came back to lead every lap of aathe feature. Jon Poll kept pressure on but had to settle for second. Corey Booth, after bringing out a third lap caution came back to take third with Wayne Hora fourth and Duane Rittmer fifth.

Pole sitter, Bart Miller led the first lap of athe V8 Modified feataure with the other front row starter, Doug Crampton taking over on lap two. These two battled with Crampton leading until lap thirteen when Miller edged back out front. On lap fourteen Crampton went back out front, but on lap seventeen eighth place starter, Andy Cook went by them both on his way to the win. Crampton and Miller held on for second and third, respectively. John Bull was fourth with Ray Cox Jr. fifth. Don Pataska, Bob Dominacki and Jeff Morris were the heat winners.
