Denny Eckrich Takes “Flyin 50” to Firecracker 40 Win At Farley Speedway

 

 

Farley, Iowa:  The Farley Speedway kicked off the 4th of July weekend with the  NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series in action, the Firecracker 40 presented by the Palace Ballroom was the headliner of the action packed night. 110 drivers packed the pit area looking to take home the lions share of the purse.

 

 When the checkered flag flew following the 40 lap NASCAR Iowa Illinois Taylor Insulation Late Model feature it was Tiffin, Iowa’s Denny Eckrich making his way to victory lane. The first fifteen laps of the feature provided the fans with outstanding racing as the lead was hotly contested. Jeff Tharp led the first ten laps before teammate Ace Ihm took over the top spot. The lead pack grew to four cars and on the 14th lap the leaders crossed under the flag stand three wide. Lap number 15 saw Eckrich, who had started 14th take over the top spot for good. The 40 lapper was slowed a couple of times for minor cautions, but on each occasion Eckrich was able to hold the lead fighting off the challenges of Steve Boley and later Jeff Aikey and Curt Martin. Martin took second ahead of Steve Johnson, Todd Davis and Jeff Tharp.

 

 Ronny Barker pushed his NASCAR Modified winning streak to 8 with another impressive win. Barker took over the lead after race leader Scott Nesteby dropped into the pit area with apparent heating problems. Barker took over the lead on lap number 9 and went on to score the win. Mark Schulte provided a late race challenge before settling for second ahead of Jason Schueller, Sean Rupp and Korey Burmeister.

 

    Jimy Brokus charged through the pack and took the lead away from Jeff Kennedy on lap number 7 on his way to the NASCAR Pro Stock feature win. Brokus beat Bobby Moyer to the checkers in scoring the win. Kennedy took third ahead of Jeff valentine and Jeff Reinert.

 

 Jason Rauen broke out of the pack to get to the front quickly and went on to record another Hobby Stock feature win. Jerry Merkes took second ahead of Randy Benn and Jim Turpin.

 

 Jeremy English led wire to wire to take his second consecutive feature win in the B-Modified division. Mark Massey ran second but was unable to mount a serious challenge on English. Ken Boyes drove his Chrysler to third ahead of Jacob Seegmiller.

 

 Becky Roth used a last lap move to go the high side and overtake race leader Jake Blumer and go on to victory in the Farley Flyer feature. Blumer held on for second ahead of Brandon Simon and Rusty DeShaw.

 

 July, 9th will be Noels Tree and Crane Service Mid-Season Championships at the Farley with a special fund raising On Line Auction going on to benefit Hills & Dales, Albrecht Acres and the Mayors Youth Empowerment Program.

 

Hot laps will take to the track at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 9th.
