Kay takes Deery win, series point lead at Jackson County

MAQUOKETA, Iowa (June 9) – Justin Kay’s third Deery Brothers Summer Series feature win of the season put him in a familiar place: Back on top of point standings for the IMCA Late Model tour. Kay passed Tyler Droste and pole starter Dan Shelliam for the lead midway through Tuesday’s 40-lap main event at Jackson County Speedway.

Shelliam gained second back from Droste following the final restart, with three laps left. The run­ner-up finish was his career best. Droste was third, Joe Zrostlik a career best in fourth and Jeff Aikey completed the top five.

Hurst inches by Maitland for Jackson County Hawkeye Dirt Tour win

MAQUOKETA, Iowa (June 9) – The margin of Jeremiah Hurst’s career first Hawkeye Dirt Tour feature win was measured in inches. And not very many of them. Hurst caught Ryan Maitland coming out of the final turn Tuesday at Jackson County Speedway and won the Xtreme Motor Sports IMCA Modified main event by not much more than a bumper. The $1,000 victory landed him on the ballot for the Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational. Hurst had started ninth, ran second much of the way in a caution-free 25-lapper and went to a higher line to get around Maitland and get the win. Justin Kay raced from 16th starting to third in his HDT debut. Ben Chapman was fourth while defending series champion Mike Van Genderen moved atop the point standings with his fifth place showing. Maitland had led 24-plus laps after starting from the pole and withstanding early pressure from Chapman. The second Hawkeye Dirt Tour event of the week is Thursday, June 11 at Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa. Feature results – 1. Jeremiah Hurst, Dubuque; 2. [Read More]

By Jim Haines SHENANDOAH, Va. (June 6) – Tom Humphries made it two wins in three Virginia Sprint Series events at Shenandoah Speedway on Saturday night. Humphries took the IMCA Eagle Motorsports RaceSaver Sprint Car tour opener at Shenandoah on April 11, then was part of a three-car tangle in the May 9 show and ended in ninth. The third time was another charm on the fast asphalt oval as he took the checkers ahead of Jerald Harris and French Grimes. Charlie Ware and Bill Rice paced the field to green with Rice out first and Anthony Linkenhoker right on his bumper. Lap five had a new leader in Linkenhoker and Humphries in second. Linkenhoker was smooth in the middle grove but Humphries had to withstand pressure from Grimes and Harris. Humphries went low and into the lead and Harris took over second on the next lap. Humphries was leading with one to go when Harris got mixed up with traffic at the wrong time and was una­ble to mount a charge. Feature results –  [Read More]
