Results

By Jerry Mackey
DUBUQUE, Iowa (May 6) – Sunday’s Merfeld Brothers Auto IMCA Modifieds feature at Dubuque Speedway was another nail biter as several drivers took their turns at the front.
Bryce Garnhart battled with Austin Moyer for much of the 20-lap main event before crossing un­der the checkers ahead of Moyer. Last week’s winner Jason Schueller turned in another fine run in taking third. 
Defending IMCA national champion Tyler Soppe scored the feature win in the 18-lap GSI Colli­sion Specialists Northern Sportmod main event.
Soppe fought to the front from a fourth row start to score the win ahead of early leader Justin Becker. Scott Busch followed up last week’s win with a third place finish.
