Kossuth County Speedway

DeFrance dominates Deery action at Algona

August 1, 2008, 7:26 pm
From series reports

ALGONA, Iowa (July 31) – Darrel DeFrance of Marshalltown, Iowa, made it clear from the onset that the question wouldn’t be who would win the first-ever Deery Brothers Summer Series main event at Algona Raceway. The question would be who would finish second.

DeFrance started on the pole and led the distance in the Kossuth County Fair feature for a $2,000 victory. Several cautions interrupted the 50-lapper, but DeFrance was never seriously challenged en route to his 11th career series victory as he upped his perfect series attendance streak to 327 events.

Todd Cooney finished second for the second straight night on the series and the previous night's winner at Highway 3 Raceway, Terry Neal, charged back through the field for third. Completing the top five were 21st-starting Tom Darbyshire and point leader Boone McLaughlin.

DeFrance built advantages of 10 lengths and more while the seventh-starting Cooney worked his way into the second spot. The last yellow of the night put Cooney on the leader’s back bumper for a green-white-checkered finish, but DeFrance pulled ahead to win by a comfortable margin. Neal took the initial green flag from inside row two and was involved in an early caution. After restarting 24th, he drove all the way back to third. Darbyshire started 21st and moved up 17 positions.
