rebelracewriter Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 RON BARKER WINS HDT CEDAR COUNTY CLASH June 14, 2011 | By: HDT-PR Rom Barker wins the JR Motorsports Hawkeye DIrt Tour A-Main at Cedar County Raceway (Tipton, IA) - - Ron Barker (Dubuque, IA) captured his first ever career JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour for IMCA Modifieds win June 14th at the Cedar County Raceway. Barker also put his name on the 2012 Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational Ballot list with his $1,000 payday in the HDT Cedar County Clash. Ronn Lauritzen (Jesup, IA) and Jeff Waterman (Quincy, IL) led the twenty-three car field to the green. Lauritzen used the low line around the smooth, ultra-fast quarter-mile to lead the first eight laps. Jeff Waterman and Kurt Krauskopf (Decorah, IA) raced side-by-side for second just behind Laurizten. A series of three caution flags early kept the field tight. After the final caution on lap seven, the HDT All Stars ran caution free to the checkered flag. At times the IMCA Modified A-Main saaw cars running three and four wide within the top ten. Duty Kraklio (Durant, IA) worked his way past Lauritzen for the lead, but was quickly changed by Barker. Barker took the lead over on lap thirteen, and he started to open up a comfortable lead. Jacob Waterman (Milan, IL) started the thirty-lap HDT A-Main in the sixteenth position, but the 2010 IMCA Modified National Rookie of the Year found himself running second by lap sixteen. Coupled with Brian Webb (Davenport, IA) hounding him, the duo closed in on Barker as he battled his way through lapped traffic. With three laps remaining, Barker saw Jacob Waterman move his ride even with his. "I saw someone underneath me, and I decided it was time to go," Barker stated after the race. "I had been running half throttle for about a lap with two lapped cars side-by-side in front of me. I was trying to find a way around (the lapped cars). It just worked out." Barker was about to put two slower cars between himself and Jacob Waterman to insure the win. Jacob Waterman finished second followed by Webb, Kraklio, and Krauskopf. Barker also earned the DirtTour.com Heat Race Challenge Award. DirtTour.com will pay his car entry fee paid for his next 2011 HDT race. Jacob Waterman scored the Harris Clash Hardcharger Award. Ryan Dolan (Lisbon, IA) finished sixth and held onto his JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour point lead. Next up for the JR Motorsports Hawkeye Dirt Tour for IMCA Modifieds is a day at the fair. The HDT All Stars head to the Mighty Howard County Fair on Thursday, June 23rd. To learn more about the HDT, log onto DirtTour.com or IMCA.com.
