Three More New Faces Find Victory Lane During Fair Races
by Ed Potter

MAQUOKETA, IA (July 26) - Thursday evening Jackson County Speedway hosted the Jackson County Fair Golden Harvest fair races. Because this was not on the speedways regular race night it was a non-points, draw and redraw program. Three drivers that had not visited victory lane yet this year, although all three have won in past seasons, found their way into victory lane in front of a good fair crowd. It was also nice to see some new faces at the track for the first time this year. After a father son battle in the 4 Stock heat race, which father, Ricky Kay won over son, Justin Kay, Justin pulled lucky chip number one for the start of the feature. Justin used it to his full advantage as he led flag to flag for the win. Ricky stayed in hot pursuit the first half of the race when the races only caution flew. On the restart track point leader, Matt Montoya took over second and held on until the checkered flew. Ricky was third with Kile Vohringer fourth and Ray Costello fifth.

Young Jake Hayes used his Hobby Stock feature front row starting spot to take the early lead but cautions soon played a part in this race. Bryan Klein took over the lead on lap five then the races second caution flew, this time sending Hayes to the pits for repairs. Three laps later the caution flew again involving Klein and then second place runner, and second heat winner, Dan Mohr sending both to the rear. On the restart first heat winner, Neil Patchin put his Mopar out front and went on for his first win of the season. Matt Wilson was second with Mohr and Klein coming back up to take third and fourth, respectively. Jeff Specht was fifth.

After winning the first B Modified heat race, Jarrett Franzen drew lucky chip number one to start the feature and used it to it’s fullest as he led flag to flag to take his first win this season. Second heat winner, second place runner, Tom Pestka broke an axle on the second lap causing his retirement from the race. Chris Stein moved into second but with three laps to go John Irwin got by to take the spot. Stein held on for third with Rick Galloway fourth and Kory Meyer fifth.

Mike Driscoll won the Street Stock heat race and didn’t pull chip one for the start of the feature, he pulled chip two and used it to lead flag to flag to take the victory. A third lap restart saw Cory Bauer move into second and keep the pressure on Driscoll for the rest of the race, but Bauer had to settle for second. Kevin Brame was third with Shane Oberbreckling fourth and Russ Williamson fifth.

Pole sitter Tim Arp grabbed the early lead of the V8 Modified feature with Brad Dierks taking over on lap nine. At lap twelve Don Pataska moved out front with Dierks in hot pursuit. At lap fourteen it appeared that Dierks had taken over again but the caution flew putting Pataska back out front. At lap sixteen Dierks moved by and appeared to go on for the win, but post race inspection found his car to light turning the win over to Pataska for his first this year. Jim Willert took second with Jake Bowman third, Tim Current fourth and Jeff Morris fifth. Current, Jeff Morris and Dan Chapman won the heat races.

Bobby Toland started on the pole of the Late Model feature and took the lead until a ninth lap caution brought the field back up tight. On the restart Terry Neal moved out front and was soon holding off the challenges of a hard charging Ryan Duhme. At lap twenty one as the two ran side by side Duhme actually inched forward enough to lead that lap by inches. Neal moved back out on the next lap and went on for the win. Duhme held on for a strong second with Bobby Toland beating his dad to take third. Rob Toland was fourth with Jason Bahrs fifth. Duhme and Kevin Blum were the heat winners.
