Davenport Speedway to Crown Six Track Champions on Friday

DAVENPORT, Ia (Aug. 23) - Weekly points racing will conclude Friday, August 24th, at the Davenport Speedway. When the racecars take to the track, six new track champions will be crowned. None of last year's champions at the Davenport Speedway are in a position to repeat this season.

The closest points battle coming into the season finale, is in the B-Modified division, where three drivers are still in the title hunt. Jake 'the Snake' Waterman of Milan, has a single point lead over Bettendorf's John Ahlers. Should anything happen to the two leaders, Moline's Craig Crawford is only eleven points out of the lead.

In I.M.C.A. Late Model action, Ely, Iowa's Terry Neal needs only to start his feature race to clinch his second track championship at the Davenport Speedway. Second is Davenport's Matt Ryan, 32 points back. Third place in points is a real dogfight with Andy Nezworski, Mike Murphy Jr., and Fred Remley, separated by only seven points.

Moline's Thad Wilson is leading in track points in the V-8 Modified class. Wilson has six feature wins on the season and also needs only to start the feature to clinch the track championship. Kevin Blum of Colona is second in points and has four feature wins in 2007.

Brad Tyler of Moscow, Iowa is a top the Street Stock points. Tyler has three feature wins this year and holds a 26-point lead over Orion's Henry Carson. Kevin Schloemer of Davenport, is a distant third, but still has a shot at the crown.

Davenport's Craig Peekenschneider has already clinched at least a tie for the INEX Legend Car track championship. Keith Meyer of Cedar Rapids, is a distant second in points with Rock Island's Darrick Calhoun third.

The 4 Cylinder Stock class has Ricky Kay of Wheatland leading Stockton's Steve Boyle by 18 points going into the final night. Kay has four feature wins on the season, while Boyle is still looking for his first.
