NEWTON, Iowa — When it comes to the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series these days, Paul Hahn has nary a challenger.
That proved true again Sunday afternoon at Iowa Speedway where Hahn, in his father Rick Hahn’s No. 7 Hahn’s Powder Coating-Fox Auto Parts-Howe Racing Chevy Colorado, raced from last to first to win the inaugural ARCA Lincoln Welders 50.
The victory was Hahn’s sixth of the season after nine events and his 21st-career series triumph, placing the 2006 series champion just three wins shy of Chad Guinn’s all-time victory mark of 24.
Hahn, who led the final 25 circuits, was also the fast qualifier. It was his 13th-career pole award, just one away from tying Jeff Speakman’s all-time pole mark of 14.
Kenny Kirsch finished second on the seven-eighths-mile asphalt oval, while Norm Weaver, Nick Gullatta and Duane Bischoff rounded out the top five.
The finish:
Paul Hahn, Kenny Kirsch, Norm Weaver, Nick Gullatta, Duane Bischoff, Tim Schafer, Carl Moyer, Steve Christman, Robbin Slaughter, Ash Hawkins, Bill Withers, Randy Moyes, Paul Vanderhoff, Mike Young, Mark Otting, Craig Meyers.
