Aikey 3-Peats At Farley Speedway
The Farley Speedway played host to Dodge night at the races sponsored by Tauke Motors of Dyersville with the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series in action on the smooth fast high banked ½ mile dirt track. The fans were treated to an excellent night of wheel to wheel racing excitement.
Jeff Aikey continued his recent hot streak by winning his third consecutive Iowa Illinois Taylor Insulation NASCAR Late Model feature. Aikey chased down race leader Rob Toland and battled with him for several laps before finally securing the top spot on the 20th lap. The two hot shoes swapped the lead several times before Aikey was able to use a diamond move coming out of turn two to take the lead for good. Toland ran second to Aikey with Dave Eckrich taking third at the finish line ahead of Denny Eckrich.
Ronnie Barker of Dubuque, Iowa won his seventh feature in nine starts at the Farley Speedway on Friday, June 14th. The win will increase the bounty paced on Barker by $50 making it $350 in effect Friday, June 21st. The Bounty will increase by $50 per week in the event Barker continues his winning streak, according to Keith Simmons of Simmons Promotions. Any Modified driver who is able to beat Barker with Barker running competitively will collect the Bounty at the Farley Speedway. Ronnie Barker will be able to collect the bounty money by winning out the remainder of the 2002 NASCAR point season at the Farley Speedway.
Ty Kleiner won his second consecutive NASCAR Pro Stock feature on Friday night and his third in a row at SPI promoted events. A Dubuque win was sandwiched between the two Farley wins for the popular driver from Potosi, WI. A lap 8 restart found Kleiner in fifth but the restart was just what Kleiner needed to aid his march to the front. Kleiner took the lead from Jim Brokus and went on to score the feature win over Jeff Tharp and Brokus.
The NASCAR Hobby Stock feature was decided at the checkers with Jason Rauen scoring the win by a mere three feet over Jerry Merkes. The win was Rauen’s second of the season at Farley. Rauen used the extreme top side of the track to get to the front from his mid-pack start. Merkes took second ahead of Mike Hughes and Steve Dunkel.
Young Jason Roth drove his 1986 Toyota to his fourth Farley Flyer feature win on Friday night. Roth took the lead early and went on to an impressive win over R.J. Simon.Front row starter John Flury took third in the 10 lap feature.
Friday, June 21st the Farley Speedway will host Mid-Season Championship races with a 35 lap NASCAR Late Model Feature headlining the program. All five classes of cars will be in competition, challenging for the Mid-Season Championship titles. Race time will be slated for 7:30 p.m.
