BOONE, Iowa (May 26) — An impressive Memorial Day run at Boone Speedway put Tom Darbyshire in the winner’s circle and atop the Deery Brothers Summer Series point standings. The driver from Morning Sun, Iowa, led all the way in Monday’s IMCA-sanctioned main event, keeping Justin Reed of Quincy, Ill., in check after a caution late in the contest brought the 40-lapper to a close green-white-checkered finish. | Slideshow

Home-state drivers Charlie McKenna of Clear Lake, Terry Neal of Ely and Todd Cooney of Des Moines rounded out the top five. Darbyshire's $2,000 victory also gave Darbyshire a two point edge over Cooney in the tour standings after six of 17 scheduled events.

Dale Hackwell Jr. drew the pole and applied the early pressure on Darbyshire, who charged ahead from outside the front row Reed, fresh off his May 21 victory at Highway 3 Raceway, moved up from eighth to mount a challenge of his own before McKenna drove into second. Reed regained the position two laps later, staying within shouting distance of Darbyshire while McKenna, Neal and the 16th-starting Cooney ran hard close behind. The late yellow bunched the field back up, but Darbyshire stayed in the fast line to take the checkers two lengths ahead of Reed.
