CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (May 6, 2011) - Four repeat feature winners highlighted week two of the Papa John Cup/I-Wireless Championship Series at Hawkeye Downs Speedway on Friday night. Innovative Signs of Marion presented the evening’s action and also provided extra trophies allowing the top three finishers in each feature to receive some hardware for their efforts. In Barron Motor Supply Hobby Stocks, Nathan Ballard wasted little time in pursuit of his second feature win as he took the lead in turn two of the first lap of the 15-lap feature. Ballard had relatively smooth sailing until the halfway mark when Matt Petrzelka moved into position to challenge for the point. Ballard was able to hold off Petrzelka for the win pulling away over the last few laps. Jeremy Robbins posted another strong run, finishing third. Greg Hentrich started on the pole and led the first six circuits of the 20-lap Coca-Cola Sportsmen feature before surrendering the lead to Cory Houdek. Houdek started inside row two, moved to second by lap four and then made what would be the winning pass on lap seven. Hentrich maintained second while Ben Glascock ran a very strong third in his first outing of the season. Dave Ballstaedt finished fourth and Tim Dains was fifth. Rachael Pinkerman of Barrington Hills, IL dominated the 25-lap McGrath Powersports INEX Legends feature in the same fashion that she did in her limited appearances here last season when the division ran a partial schedule. Matt Blake led the first trip around the quarter-mile but Pinkerman blasted into the lead on lap two and was never challenged in collecting her first win of the season. Troy Burkhart finished second in his first run of the year and was followed across the stripe by Matt Blake. Tim Plummer bagged his second feature win of the season Friday night after taking the lead from his row two starting slot on the 8th lap. Ryan Luedtke led the early going but Plummer moved into second by lap three, and was on Luedtke’s rear bumper by lap five, taking the lead three laps later. Luedtke held onto second despite strong pressure from Brian Gibson who settled for third. Arlo Becker finished fourth after starting on the point with Craig Bender fifth. After a pair of cautions slowed the early action in the Sunline Hornets feature, Nathan Chandler settled into the top spot while numerous position battles took place throughout the pack. Chandler took the point on lap four after starting in the fourth row and then held off his brother Brad and Derek Parrott over the final laps to gain his first win of the season. Brad Chandler, Derek Parrott, Dallas Chandler and Jamie Witham completed the top five of the order. Friday night also marked the return of the Innovative Signs Trophy Dash in which Promoter Mike Becker selects six cars in a particular division to run a six-lap dash for some hardware for the mantle. Parker Anderson of Marion nabbed the trophy in his first outing in Sunline Hornets crossing the flagstand ahead of James Stevens and Prestin Witham. LaGrange, Missouri driver Justin Jennings was the dominant driver early on in the Performance Concepts Late Model 30- lap feature but thanks to a couple cautions that bunched the field things got interesting just shy of the halfway mark. Joey Gase, who started in row four, found himself in the second slot after a lap ten restart and then mounted a challenge for the lead on lap thirteen and took the lead for good one lap later. Meanwhile, Brad Osborn was also having a strong run and while he was on Gase’s bumper on lap sixteen and seventeen he couldn’t make a run for the point and settled for the second spot. Justin Jennings maintained third to the checkered flag with Andy Edwards posting an impressive run to finish fourth. Likewise, Mason Mitchell ran an impressive race and finished fifth.
