Beal battles to late model win at Davenport

| May 5, 2024

 

Logan Veloz only repeat winner

 

DAVENPORT, Ia. (May 3, 2024) – After a two-week layoff due to weather, it was back to stock car racing action, Friday at Davenport Speedway.

 

Joe Beal posted an early season appearance in Competitive Concrete victory lane in the Outhouse and Storage to Go Container Rentals IMCA Late Model feature. Beal started seventh and made his way to the front by lap six. From that point Beal had to hold off some fast company. A late race caution brought Andy Nezworski and Mitch Morris right to his rear bumper. Joe was able to hold both drivers back and take the win. Nezworski finished second with Morris third. Josh Foster and Evan Miller both put in quality runs, finishing fourth and fifth respectively.

Miller, Chuck Hanna, and Chris Lawrence won the late model heat races.

 

It was a long, long time coming but Mike Garland found his way back to Davenport’s victory lane. Mike started on the pole and led 19 of the 20 laps in the Wangelin’s Auto IMCA Modified feature race. It was Garland’s first win at Davenport in fourteen years. Eric Barnes gave chase to Garland but would settle for second.  Chirs Zogg was third with Ben Chapman fourth. Spencer Diercks completed the top five.

 

Logan Veloz chalked up his second straight D&K Home Products IMCA SportMod feature win. Veloz started tenth and quickly moved up, taking the lead on lap seven of the fifteen lap main. At the checkers, he had a three-second lead over second place Dakota Cole. Cole led early in the race before falling back and finishing in the runner-up spot. Kevin Goben finished third, followed by Josh Starr and Rayce Mullen.

 

Veteran street stock racers ruled the day in Koehler Electric Outlaw Street Stock main. The experienced drivers took the first four finishing positions. Tony VonDresky started on the pole and led all fifteen laps for the win. Donnie Louck had a good run starting third and finishing second. Rob Henry took third after starting tenth. Jesse Owen grabbed fourth, ahead of Trevor Tucker.

 

Race fans got an exciting finish in the Theisen’s IMCA Hobby Stock division. Jordan Miles took advantage of a late race restart to pass Daniel Wauters for the victory. Wauters led early in the race and held the lead through lap thirteen. Randy LaMar had a solid run to finish third, followed by Kaden Staley and Cody Staley in that order.

 

Joe Lafrenz captured his first Davenport win of the season in the Fred’s Towing & Cantrell’s Towing 4-Cylinder main. Joe started third but popped into the lead by the end of lap two. Josh Starr, Shawn McDermott, and Cyle Hawkins had a good battle for second with McDermott taking the spot. Starr, Hawkins and Jason Rhoads rounded out the top five.

 

Racing continues next Friday, May 10th, when the Davenport Speedway will celebrate Mother’s Day. What better gift to give Mom than taking her to the stock car races? More information can be found on our facebook page “Davenport Speedway – SR Promotions”
