Wayne Crimmins collects Stock Car checkers in Fort Dodge
FORT DODGE, Iowa -- A beautiful Friday afternoon in Fort Dodge was filled with some great racing action at the Mineral City Speedway.
The USRA Karl Chevrolet Stock Cars hit the track for their main event with eleven cas on hand. Outside front row starter Matt Mundt set the early pace, but the caution came out early as Jason Minnehan spun in turn 4. He showed his displeasure to Wayne Crimmins before tagging the tail, and on the restart Jeremy Crimmins overtook Mundt at the front of the field.
Jeff Deal was on the charge as he passed Malcolm Teachout on the inside line for third before getting by Mundt for second. Wayne Crimmins settled into third while Minnehan was working his way back up through the field to fifth at the midpoint of the race. Mundt got a little too high, allowing Minnehan to slip by for fourth.
Back up front, Deal tried a slingshot move exiting turn 2 and came up across the nose of Jeremy Crimmins for the lead, but as the two made contact it allowed Wayne Crimmins to sneak by and take the top spot. A caution came out again, and Minnehan was the beneficiary this time as he powered by Deal on the top side for second.
Mundt lost his top-five spot when he spun out to bring out the final caution. Deal used the top side to get back by Minnehan for second, but it was Wayne Crimmins finding himself in victory lane at the end of the race.
Deal finished second, Minnehan was third, Matt Fox fourth and Jeremy Crimmins completed the top 5.
