Justin Kay gets rolling before his Deery Brothers victory at Maquoketa.
What won the race: Third-starting Justin Kay of Wheatland, Iowa, overtook polesitter Terry Neal early and raced to Saturday's $2,000 Deery Brothers Summer Series victory at Maquoketa Speedway. Kay is 2-for-2 on the series season after his April 21 victory at Cedar County Raceway.
Quotable: “Driving the low side the car really handled. We found the lane around the bottom and went with it." Kay said. "When you have guys like Terry Neal and Jeremiah (Hurst) back there you want to have some distance because they’re fast."
Key notes: Kay scored his 26th career Deery Brothers victory. ... Kay tied Mark Burgtorf of Quincy, Iowa, and Curt Martin of Independence, Iowa, for fourth on the series all-time win list. … The race was slowed by a single caution for a Darrel DeFrance spin. … The series made its lone stop at Maquoketa for 2018.
Winner's sponsors: Kay's MasterSbilt Race Car by S&J Motorsports is sponsored by Wehrs Machine, Wheatland Auto Body, Crop Production Services, Hoker Trucking and Mycogen Seeds.
Points chase: Justin Kay solidified his series points lead after two races.
