World Mark to Fall in Hawkeye Downs Sprints Night
Hawkeye Downs hosts a speedway packed Fourth of July card with late model stock and sprint events. Ernie Derr has set marks this season while Jeopardy of IMCA sanctioning leaves 24.51 unrecognized as a world record. Jim Moughan and a host of drivers contend for a $600 prize in a 24 car finale with a grand show including fireworks and a trophy dash. Cedar Rapids will crown a National late model modified stock title July 23 with a $5,000 purse on the half mile track. A sensational foot race between four drivers closes the night after a crowd of 6,000 watches big names collide on the straightaway.
