KEVIN LEE, TIM PLUMMER, CHAD SIEMS, SCOTT WENNERMARK, TRAVIS MCCOMBS, AND
TERRY SCHAFFAR SCORE FRIDAY NIGHT WINS

(Cedar Rapids, IA 051906)-- Better weather helped bring a huge crowd to
Hawkeye Downs Speedway on Friday night to watch Altorfer CAT/100.7 The Fox
Night at the races. All six divisions were in action with Papa Johns Cup I
Wireless & Full Throttle Energy Drink Stars of Tomorrow points up for grabs.

Kevin Lee of Cedar Rapids earned his first victory since returning to
the Budweiser Sportsman division in a 25 laps feature for that division. The
caution plagued race saw Brian Franks of Central City finish in second and
point leader Andy Duggan finished in third.

Defending Miller Time Modified Champion Tim Plummer of Norway was
awarded the win in that division after first across the line Arlo Becker
failed post-race inspection. Officials flagged the #88 modified for unapproved
suspension components in a routine inspection.

The25 lap feature was also slowed by numerous cautions with 3 yellow flags in
the first 9 laps. The revised finish order shows Rodney Rocarek of Mount
Vernon in second and Chad Willett of Cedar Rapids in third.

Chad Siems of Marion posted a strong run in the Barron Motor Supply
IMCA Stock Cars holding off a determined Bob Ahrendsen of Cedar Rapids at the
stripe to take the checkers. Logan Hale finished in third alongside Ahrendsen
with Randy Filling a bumper behind. Point leader Brad Dvorak recovered from
earlier mechanical problems to land in fifth.

Scott Wennermark held on to win the Performance Concepts Late Model
feature with Brad Osborn finishing second in his first appearance of the
season. Wennermark held a substantial margin over Osborn at the halfway mark
of the race but Osborn picked up nearly 2/10 of a second per lap to narrow the
margin in the final laps. Kyle Hinrichs finished in third and Jeff King was
fourth.

Osborn just received medical clearance to race after recovering from a
non-racing related injury.

Travis McCombs won a thrilling race on the quarter-mile in the Sunline
Hornets division. The race saw multiple position changes throughout the 12 lap
duration but in the end McCombs scored the win over Nathan Ballard. The
original third place finisher, Creston Williams failed tech inspection so
Brian Beaty was awarded third place.

Terry Schaffar of State Center crossed the stripe in first in the
Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks. Shaffar broke point leader Tim Dains
win streak but Dains did finish second which will be enough to keep him on top
of the points chart. Another point contender, Rodney Grother finished in third.
