MAQUOKETA, Iowa – Travis Denning prefers the low groove at Maquoketa Speedway, but he made an exception Saturday evening.
Denning pulled the No. 1 pill on the redraw and launched to a flag to flag, 20-lap QCJeeps.com IMCA Modified victory.
“I saw those guys coming and I usually don’t like to run high,” Denning said in victory lane. “But it worked when I had to use it and was great.”
Brad Moring sped from the second spot and stayed there. Top runners Bryce Garnhart, Jeff Larson and Ray Cox Jr. came next.
“Anyone of these guys can win here,” Denning added. “This is a great deal on a Saturday night – great competition.”
Denning took home $700 on the night before Easter.
