Justin Kay (15k) passed Jason Hahne (76) on lap 23 and never looked back, earning his first Hoker Trucking Series win of the season.
What won the race: Seventh-starting Justin Kay of Wheatland, Iowa, stormed to a $3,000 Hoker Trucking Series victory in Friday’s holiday-weekend tripleheader opener at Davenport Speedway. He finished 2.646 seconds ahead of Jason Hahne after taking the lead on lap 23.
Quotable: “I just loving coming to Davenport here," Kay said. "The car wasn’t quite right to start with, or where I thought it was going to be, so I was a little off to start the race, but then once we got rolling I was changing what I was doing and it was getting better. (Jason) Hahne missed the bottom one time and I got next to him ... that was kinda all I really needed, I guess."
