6.15.19 Davenport Speedway Results
by Mike McGuireDUBUQUE, Ia. (June 15, 2019) – Chad Simpson put his name into the record books as the first ever Lucas Oil MLRA feature winner at the Dubuque Fairgrounds Speedway. Simpson not only had to outrace his competitors, but also the approaching rain showers that would prevent one of the support class features from being completed.Simpson started the 40-lap A-Main from the third starting position, behind Tyler Bruening and series point leader Will Vaught. Chad would take the lead from Bruening on lap 21, in heavy lapped traffic.Caution flags peppered the second half of the feature, eliminating several cars running in the top five. The race’s final caution was for Bruening, who had mechanical trouble with four laps to go.The final restart saw Chad Simpson hold off his brother Chris for the win. Mitch McGrath finished third with local racers Jason Rauen and Joel Callahan rounding out the top five.
Other feature winners of the evening were Tyler Soppe in SportMods, David Brandies in Stock Cars, and Ron Barker in A.I.R.S. competition. The Modified feature was rained out. The next racing event for DRT TRAK Racing Inc. will be the Mid-Summer Madness at West Liberty Raceway on Saturday, August 10th.
