Murphy takes Davenport LM Checkers
by Mike McGuire
DAVENPORT, Ia. (May 11, 2012) – With the yellow flags coming in
bunches Friday night at the Davenport Speedway, it was only fitting that at
least one feature winner drove a yellow car.
Mike Murphy Jr., driver of the yellow #14 IMCA Late Model, filled the
bill. After a couple attempts to start the race failed, Murphy shot out to
the lead from his third place starting position to the lead, on the opening
lap. Much like Mike’s Deery Brothers victory at Davenport last month, Murphy
would lead every lap of the feature.
Matt Ryan stayed in the top four all race long and made a charge to
finish second. Stephan Kammerer made his way to second, before coming home
third. Andy Nezworski ran a solid fourth, with Justin Kay fifth.
Petersen Plumbing & Heating IMCA Late Model heat race wins went to
Murphy, Kammerer, and Mike Garland.
Doug Crampton won a caution-filled EMS IMCA Modified main. Brian Webb
led the first two laps of the race before the cautions started flying. After
four tries to restart the race, Crampton shot out in front of the field and
led the rest of the way to the checkers.
Thad Wilson emerged from the pack to finish second. Mitch Morris
started 14th and worked his way up to take third. Kelly Meyer and Joe Beal
were both involved in early yellows, but came back to finish fourth and
fifth respectively.
Jeremy Marquette powered his way back into the winner’s circle, in the
Koehler Electric Street Stock feature. Dwaine Hasson jumped out to an early
lead in the race and held it through a series of cautions. By lap six,
Marquette was battling Hasson for the lead. The pair would swap the lead
back and forth for a couple laps, before Marquette would take the lead for
good.
Hasson would hang on to finish second. Cary Brown, Kevin Dickey, and
Josh Neal completed the top five, in that order.
Andy Wagener was at the top of the class in the Roto-Rooter 4-Stock
division. Wagener took the lead on lap four, en route to his first victory
at Davenport this season. Nick Bennett fought to hold off Aaron Hitt and
finish second. Hitt was third and was followed to the finish line by Eric
Stogdell and Ross Neal.
Next Friday, May 18th is School’s Out Kid’s Night, with a featured
appearance by the Midwest Jalopies.

DAVENPORT
SPEEDWAY
by Mike McGuire
DAVENPORT, Ia. (May 4, 2012) – Davenport Speedway finally managed to
get the Koehler Electric Season Opener in the books. On what turned out to
be an excellent night for racing, a huge field of cars was on hand,
including thirty IMCA Modifieds.
Nate Bueseling squeezed out a win in the IMCA Late Model feature.
Bueseling didn’t take the lead of the 25-lap main until the white flag, when
he edged past early race leader Mike Garland. Mike Murphy Jr. also passed
Garland on the final lap to take second. Justin Kay and Matt Ryan rounded
out the top five.
Ray Guss Jr., Andy Eckrich, and Chuck Hanna were late model heat
winners.
Joe Beal made his first 2012 trip to Davenport’s victory lane in IMCA
Modified main. After starting sixth, Beal took the lead on lap 13, from Bob
Dominacki. Domiancki would fall out of the race a couple laps later. Dan
Chapman ran in the top three for the entire race and finished second. Kelly
Meyer came from a fifth row start and took third.
The big mover of the race was Jake Waterman. Waterman started 19th in
the field of twenty cars and finished fourth. Mark Schulte was fifth.
Meyer, Schulte, and Jason Bahrs won the mod heats. Doug Crampton and
Matt Stein won the two consi’s.
Chip Kohl of Marion, Ia., pulled out the win in a wild Street Stock
feature. Dwaine Hasson jumped out to the early race lead and held the top
spot until lap nine. Jeremy Marquette stole the lead from Hasson and
appeared to be headed for victory until an incident on lap 13, brought out
the caution. That caution saw nearly half of the top ten cars go to the back
or the pits.
When racing resumed, Kohl had the lead and a couple laps later, the
win. Nate Yoerger finished second, and ahead of Dan Mohr, Donnie Louck, and
Jerry Miles.
Mitch Bielenberg is perfect in 2012 at the Davenport Speedway.
Bielenberg won Friday’s 4-Stock main and also two weeks ago at the Deery
Brothers special.
Aaron Hitt took the race lead after starting on the pole. On lap six,
Bielenberg, who started mid-pack roared into the lead. Mitch would cruise to
victory lane with Hitt coming home second. Tristin Clark had a strong run in
third. Jake Montoya and Lucas Short were fourth and fifth respectively.
Weekly racing action continues next Friday, May 11th, at the Davenport
Speedway. Hotlaps are at 6:30pm, with racing at 7:00pm.

Murphy wins frosty Deery race at Davenport
by Mike McGuire
DAVENPORT, Ia. (April 20, 2012) – With the temperature dipping into
the low 40’s by night’s end, the stock car racing was red hot at the
Davenport Speedway Friday night. When the final checkered flag had flown,
Colona, Illinois’ Mike Murphy Jr., was the racer in victory lane.
Despite the chilly weather, forty IMCA Late Models were on hand for
the Deery Brothers Summer Series event on the Davenport quarter-mile, dirt
oval.
Murphy started on the outside pole, blasted away from the pack, and
led all forty laps of the Deery feature. After a lap four caution which
bunched the field up to his bumper, Murphy would again put distance between
himself and the field . For Murphy, the win was his second in three Deery
series races in 2012.
Justin Kay started sixth and slowly made his way up to second, where
he would finish. Denny Eckrich fought his from the eleventh starting
position, to third, finishing more than a straightaway behind the winner.
Dan Shelliam started on the pole and fell back to fifth, before overtaking
Andy Eckrich late in the race for fourth. Andy Eckrich and Mark Burgtorf
rounded out the top six.
IMCA Late Model heat race wins went to Murphy, Kay, Tom Darbyshire,
and Charlie McKenna. Burgtorf and Bryan Klein won the B-Mains.
Jake Waterman blistered the field in the IMCA Modified main. Waterman
launched into the lead early on and was never challenged. Jake Bowman made
his way through the pack and with a late surge, scored a second place
finish. Ray Cox Jr. was in the top three all race long, finishing third.
Casey Voss and Brian Webb were both involved in early race cautions and a
final turn tussle, before finishing fourth and fifth respectively.
Jeremy Marquette paid another visit to victory lane in the Street
Stock feature. Marquette used a lap 6 restart to get by early race leader
Emily Gade. Once in the lead Jeremy would cruise to an easy win. Gade would
finish a strong second, with Kevin Dickey, Cary Brown, and Chris Lawrence
rounding out the top five.
Mitch Bielenberg used lapped car as a pick, to take the lead of the
4-Stock feature. The move allowed Mitch to go from third to first in one
lap, for the win. Andy Wagener, had led most of the race, but would have to
settle for the runner-up finish. Ross Neal took third.
Next Friday, April 27th, will be Koehler Electric Season Opener night
at the Davenport Speedway.
