Guss rushes to Late Model win at Davenport
 
by Mike McGuire
DAVENPORT, Ia. (August 21, 2015) – With the racing season winding down, the Davenport Speedway saw four first-time winners for 2015. Friday was also the final Kid’s Night for the season.
 
Ray Guss Jr. wasted no time in taking the win in the Petersen Plumbing & Heating IMCA Late Model feature. Guss started seventh and took the lead on lap four. Guss would lead the remainder of the 25-lap main that went green-white-checkered. The victory was Ray’s first at Davenport in over two years.

Andy Nezworski started ninth and finished second. Justin Kay came from 15th to third. Brunson Behning and Travis Denning rounded out the top five.

Denning and Mike Zemo Jr. won the late model heats.
 
Mitch Morris finally collected his first feature win of the season in the Milan Heating &Air IMCA Modifieds. Morris used a lap four restart to take the lead and never looked back. Bob Dominacki had a strong run in second, while Matt Werner came from a seventh row start to finish third. Rich Smith and Bruce Hanford finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Modified heat wins went to Dominacki, Smith, and TJ Patz.
 
Koehler Electric Street Stock point leader Perry Gellerstedt made his visit to Davenport’s victory lane this year. Gellerstedt started in the sixth row and would not see the lead until lap thirteen of the 15-lap race. Kevin Dickey, who led the first twelve laps, finished second. Nick Claussen, Cary Brown, and Josh Neal finished third through fifth, in that order.
 
It was victory number six for Tony Olson in the Hawkeye Auto IMCA SportMod feature. Olson took the lead from Bryce Garnhart on lap six of the 15-lapper. Garnhart recorded another runner-up finish. Henry Carson took third, ahead of Aaron Hitt and David Norton.
 
Brandon Setser scored win number one in the Roto-Rooter 4-Stock division. Setser took the lead on lap four, when Josh Riley dropped out of the race. Brandon was able to hold off Jeff Powell and the Dahl brothers to take the win. Powell took second followed by Zach Dahl, Brandon Dahl, and Ken Stogdell.
 
Next Friday, August 28th, is season championship night at the Davenport Speedway. The top ten in the feature will be lined-up by points, provided they start their heat race. The point leader in each class will be offered the Back Row Challenge.
