Silliman Holds off Kish, Laarkamp at Iowa

Newton, IA- Tim Silliman was able to cap off three races at Iowa Speedway this week with his first win of the season. Silliman lead from a late caution and was able to defend from Ryan Kish (3rd) and Stephen Laarkamp (2nd) in the closing laps. Former WIRL Driver Erick Davis in his first ISDC Start lead 91 of 143 laps on the night and set the fastest lap but late contact ended his hopes for victory. Travis Bennett was able to capitalize on the night with a fourth place after his earlier Lights victory, 

and Johnny Eckert got fifth, which allowed him to hold his slimmed points lead. Eckert leaves Iowa with a seven point lead over Laarkamp and nine over Silliman. The series heads into Indianapolis for Pole Qualifying next week. Last season Jonathan Goke set a new track record at over a 231 mile per hour average. The warmer weather this season means that it's going to take a committed drive to set a new track record.
