What won the race: Fourth-starting Ryan Dolan of Lisbon, Iowa., took the lead early in the 40-lap IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series feature event and fought off a late-race charge from 22nd-starting Jeff Aikey of Cedar Falls, Iowa., to collect a $3,000 payday at the Dubuque County Fairgrounds.

Reigning series and track champion Justin Kay of Wheatland, Iowa., spun as he attempted to overtake Dolan for the lead on lap 34; he rallied back to finish third over the final laps. ...
