Ronnie Barker claimed his first win ever in a Late Model Sunday night at his home track in the exciting 40 lap Late Model Feature. Jeff Tharp took the early lead & lead the first 14 circuits. But "Mr Excitement" Ace Ihm worked his way up to the top spot on lap 15 as he took the lead from Tharp with Ronnie Barker running in 3rd. On lap 16 Barker worked his way past Tharp to do battle with Ihm. The next 20 laps had the crowd on it's feet as Ihm & Barker battled back & forth for the lead. On lap 33 Barker took the low side & powered by Ihm for good to go on for the win in his Masterbilt car making him also the new points leader in the highly contested points battle. Gary Webb finished 2nd, Andy Eckrich claimed 3rd. Jeremiah Hurst finished 4th and Steve Boley came from the 16th starting position to finish 5th.
Points leader Mark Schulte continues to pile-up impressive feature wins as the 21 year old "hot-shoe" claimed his 4th win at Dubuque & 7th win this season overall in the Modified Division. Ronnie barker took the early lead & appeared to be on his way to another strong feature win when the power plant let go on lap 12. Jason Schueller took over the point as Schulte & Scott Nesteby are in hot pursuit. On lap 15 Schulte takes over the top spot as Schueller & Nesteby battle for second. Schulte goes on to nip Schueller & Nesteby at the finish line to claim the checkers. Schueller finished 2nd with Nesteby, Brian Culberson, and Steve Wetter rounding out the top 5th.
