Harris takes Iowa Governor’s Cup cash at Davenport Speedway

by Mike McGuire
DAVENPORT, Ia. (September 12) – For the second night of the Diercks - Iowa Governor’s Cup, the racing moved to the half-mile track. The driver with the best average finish in each class was crowned the Iowa Governor’s Cup champion.

Brian Harris returned to victory lane at his hometown track in Corn Belt Clash Late Model action. Harris led the final twenty-five laps en route to the win and a $5,000 payday.

The race had a look of attrition. Ray Guss Jr. led lap one and then dropped out. Chad Simpson took over the lead, but on lap 15, he dropped out when his car started smoking. Justin Kay, Jason Utter, and Rob Moss all dropped out of the race while in the top five.

Harris took the lead when Simpson pulled in and led the rest of the way to the checkers. Jason Rauen ran in the top five all race and finished second. Wisconsin racers Paul Parker and Nick Anvelink finished third and fourth respectively. Davenport’s Spencer Diercks rounded out the top five.

Harris’ victory on Saturday and third place on night one earned him the Iowa Governor’s Cup championship.
