Crazy May weather yields four new feature winners at Davenport

admin | May 18, 2025

DAVENPORT, Ia. (May 16, 2025) – Four racers made their first visit of the year to Competitve Concrete Victory Lane, at Davenport Speedway Friday night. The new winners along with the chilly, breezy, and sometimes wet weather made for an interesting night of racing at the Davenport track.

Logan Veloz made it back-to-back wins in the Outhouse and Storage to Go Container Rentals IMCA Late Model division. Veloz started seventh and vaulted into the lead on lap three. From that point Logan ran away from the field. He finished with a seven second lead on second place Matt Ryan.

Ryan started ninth and worked steadily forward, but could not get through the traffic as fast as the leader. Chris Lawrence finished third after leading laps one and two. Cruz Birkhofer raced from 16^th starting position to finish fourth. Jake Morris rounded out the top five.

Mitch Morris, Jesse Bodin, and Doug Burkhead all won late model heat races.

The finale of the evening was the Del’s Metal Co. & Midwest Recyclers IMCA Modified feature with another $1,000 first-place prize on the line. The song was pretty much the same, but the names were changed.

Brad Dierks won the twenty lapper and for the second week in a row, a driver with the initials B.D. was the winner. Dierks led the race flag to flag for the win. Ben Chapman started second and finished in the same position. Spencer Diercks started sixth and drove to a third place finish. Following Spencer to the checkers were Charlie Mohr and last week’s winner Brandon Durbin.

The AVS Hydro Excavating IMCA SportMod main had everyone on the edge of their seats. Long-time SportMod racer Rance Powell scored his first Davenport feature win Friday night. Rance started third, but led all fifteen laps for the victory.

Ryan Reed started ninth and quickly charged up to second, but was unable to pass Powell. Cole Suckow made the long trip from Cresco, Iowa to take third. Levi Heath and Scott Walker were fourth and fifth respectively.

The streak is finally over in the Koehler Electric Outlaw Street Stock class. Donnie Louck captured his first Davenport win of the season. Louck started sixth and took the lead on lap three. Landen Chrestensen raced from ninth to take second. Blake Woodruff had won every feature to this point could only get as close as third on Friday. Jake Lund and Andrew Burk rounded out the top five.

The Wangelin’s Auto IMCA Hobby Stocks saw Randy LaMar take his second feature win of the season. Randy led the first four laps of the race, then fell back to second, behind Corey VanDerwilt. The Lynnville, Iowa driver led laps five through eight. On lap nine, LaMar sent his car into turn three high and hard and came away with the lead he held all the way to the checkers. VanDerwilt took second with Daniel Wauters third. Kale Hemsley was fourth and Carson Butt fifth.

The Cantrell’s Towning/ Fred’s Towing/ QC Towing IMCA Mod Lites were back on track again. Jason Masengarb started fourth, grabbed the lead on lap two, and led the rest of the way to the checkers.

Blake Gonzales gave chase but had to settle for second. Josh May started in the fourth row, but worked his way to third. Mike Morrow and Austin Gray completed the first five.

The vintage racing coupes of the Midwest Jalopies were also on hand Friday. Austin Honts sped through the field to take the win. Matt Fulton Sr. took second. Jeff Blunt, Dennis Blunt and Jayson Blunt finished third through fifth in that order.

Exciting dirt track stock car racing action returns next Friday, May 23rd. Start your Memorial Day weekend the right way at Davenport Speedway. The featured class of the evening will be the Malvern Bank Super Late Models East Series.
