Gary Webb Scores Win Number 3 of
2002 At Dubuque Speedway
The NASCAR Weekly Racing Series was
in action on Dupaco Community Credit Union and Gatorade Race Night at the
Dubuque County Fairgrounds Speedway on Sunday night.
The veteran and three time NASCAR
Late Model track champion Gary Webb notched his third feature win of the season
on Sunday night. Webb came from deep in the pack to score a hard fought win.
Webb was able to work the low side of the track to perfection in making his way
to the front. Webb was challenged for the win the last ˝ of the race by Darren
Mish. The two raced side by side for several laps before Webb was able to secure
the top spot and take the win. Mish settled for yet another second place finish.
Mark Merfeld ran amongst the leaders the entire distance and crossed the line in
third. The race was red flagged before one lap could be completed for a roll
over involving Luke Merfeld. The roll over was Luke’s second in the last month
and happened at the same spot on the track. Luke was uninjured in the incident.
Popular Dubuque driver Scott Nesteby
scored his first hometown win of the season in the NASCAR Modified division. Nesteby
found the low groove to his liking in scoring the 20 lap feature win. Nesteby
fought off the challenges of Jason Schueller and Ron Barker in scoring the
Gatorade win.
Bobby Moyer led the 15 lap Pro Stock
feature flag to flag on his way to his second win of the season at Dubuque.
Moyer drove a flawless race in using the high side to take the checkers ahead of
Jeff Tharp, who came from a sixth row start to take second ahead of Ty Kleiner
and Jim Brokus.
Ed McIntyre scored his first win of
2002 in topping a very tough NASCAR Hobby Stock field. McIntyre drove his #28 to
the checkers by holding off several challenges by Jason Rauen. The two came
under the checkers side by side with McIntyre scoring the win by less than a car
length. Steve Dunkel took third in the 10 lap feature.
Becky Roth drove her Toyota to the
feature win on Sunday night in the Farley Flyer main event. The win was Becky’s
second in the last three weeks of racing at Dubuque. Randy Leehan came from well
back in the pack to take second at the finish line.
The NASCAR Weekly Racing Series will
continue on Sunday, August 11th with True Value Hardware Back to
School Night at the races. Race time will be 6:30 p.m.
