Kyle Berck Tops Strong Field At Davenport Bud Shootout
9/1/03 Davenport, Iowa The last of four Bud Shootouts at the Davenport Speedway was held on Labor Day, September 1st with an outstanding field of 43 Bud Late Models and 30 Modifieds.
Darren Miller won the Hollywood Graphics fast dash for the Iowa Illinois Taylor Insulation Late Models setting him on the pole position for the 50 lap main event. Billy Moyer Jr. earned the most points through the qualifying heats but settled for fifth in the fast dash. Outside front row starter Dave Eckrich took the lead early and led until lap 13 when something broke in his car sending him spinning in turn two. Heavy rains in the Quad Cities area on Sunday left the big half mile in soft conditions and attributed to a large amount of attrition. Kyle Berck picked up the race lead on the restart on lap number 14 and went on to score the $6,000 win in the 50 lap feature. Billy Moyer Jr. pitted early in the race and came back out without losing a lap and came through the pack to take second at the checkers. Ray Guss Jr. delighted his hometown fans by running a strong third after battling with Moyer for several laps. Mitch Johnson made the long tow from Fargo, ND payoff in taking the fourth position over Rusty Zook. Qualifying heat wins went to Denny Eckrich, Billy Moyer Jr., Steve Ihm and Darren Miller. Two Auto Acres Consolation races were held and the wins went to Rusty Zook and Mike Miller.
Ron Barker continued his dominance of the Davenport Speedway in the Modified division by scoring another 20 lap feature win. Barker started on the outside front row by virtue of the passing points earned, and went on to lead the race flag to flag.
Mitch Way ran second to Barker on Monday night, Jim Sandusky took the checkers in third ahead of Rick Hixson and Steve Wetter.
The next racing event on SPI’s schedule will be the 26th annual running of the “Yankee Dirt Track Classic”. The four biggest days of racing will be held Wednesday through Saturday, September 10th through the 13th.
