Boley Sails To Season Championship Win At Farley Speedway
Farley, Iowa: The NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series presented Greenwoods Grocery Season Championship racing on Friday night August 29th at the Farley Speedway. The night included season championship main events in all six classes plus the two track point fund races in four classes.
The headliner of the night was the 35 lap season championship main event for the Iowa Illinois Taylor Insulation NASCAR Late Models. Steve “Ace Ihm” took the lead early and went on to lead the first 7 laps before point leader Jeff Aikey was able to catch Ihm and move by for the lead. Aikey went on to lead until lap 21 when Steve Boley was able to take advantage of a restart and use the low line to shoot into the lead. Boley went on to set sail on the top side of the track and went to score the win . Aikey ran second and secured the 2003 point title in the NASCAR Late Model division. Dana Wells made his second appearance of the season and turned in a great run in taking third ahead of Josh McGowan and Chuck Mayerhofer.
The Iowa Illinois Taylor Insulation NASCAR Late Models ran their second half of the two track point fund races and Jeff Aikey took advantage of drawing the number 1 pill and went on to score the $1,000 win over Jeff Tharp and Darren Mish.
Ron Barker put an exclamation point on what has been a terrific Quarter Master Modified season. Barker took the win in the 20 lap feature making his 12th win in 16 starts in 2003 in a very tough Modified class. Barker used only four laps to get to the front and take the lead and go on to score the win over young Mark Schulte. Scott Nesteby, Russ Olson and Dan Bohr rounded out the top five.
Dan Bohr made it two for two in the two track point fund races for the Modifieds. Bohr scored the $650 win over Ron Barker and Jason Schueller.
Bobby Moyer has enjoyed a great two weeks in scoring back to back season championship feature wins in the NASCAR Pro Stock division. Moyer followed up his Dubuque season championship win with another win on Friday night. Moyer caught race leader Gary Crawford and took over the top spot on lap number 13. Moyer went on to record the 15 lap title win over Crawford and Jim Brokus.
Jeff Valentine has had a disappointing season but seems to be coming on at the right time and scored an impressive win in the two track point fund race for the Pro Stocks. Valentine collected $700 for the win over Ty Kleiner and Bob Moyer.
The B-Modified season championship ten lap feature win went to Troy Burkhart. Following a late race caution Burkhart was able to get out front and go on to take the win over Leon Wilson and K.C. Ansel.
Jim Turpin put a wrap on a great NASCAR Hobby Stock season by winning the Greenwood Grocery ten lap title main event. Turpin led the final three laps emerging from a pack of contenders. Turpin took the checkers ahead of Jason Rauen and B.J. Schmitt.
Kelly Welter scored the biggest win of his career taking the two track point fund race win and the $400 paycheck. Turpin ran second and Jason Rauen took third.
The ten lap season championship Farley Flyer feature win went to the Dodge Neon of Becky Roth. Becky took over the top spot from Rob Kramer on lap number seven and went on to collect the season championship trophy. Adam Wills crossed the line in second ahead of Jason Roth.
