Crapser gallops into I-90 Speedway victory lane, scores fourth Iron Man trophy of 2014


HARTFORD, S.D.—Cory Crapser was back in the saddle again Saturday night as the Iron Man Challenge featuring USRA B-Mods made its maiden voyage to the I-90 Speedway in Hartford, S.D.

The defending Iron Man champ started the 20-lap main event in the seventh spot, but after just two laps he passed polesitter Tyler Johnson and then set sail for a $600 payday and his fourth trip to victory lane this season.

Johnson gave chase the entire distance but had to settle for the runner-up spot while Cody Ahrendt passed 13 of his fellow competitors en route to a third-place finish.

Devon Schlumbohm started and finished in the fourth spot and Jared Timmerman wound up fifth.

Harvey Vande Weerd, Brock Hess, points leader Dan Wheeler, Dustin Kruse and Marlin Kracht rounded out the top ten.

The Iron Man Challenge is back in 11 days when the USRA B-Mods take on the Valley Speedway in Grain Valley, Mo., on Wednesday, June 18, in conjunction with the USMTS Modifieds.

The next Iron Man Challenge event for the USRA Stock Cars happens Thursday, July 3, at the Upper Iowa Speedway in Decorah, Iowa, with both classes in action that night.
