NEWTON, Iowa — Cameron Dodson won Sunday’s Casey’s General Stores 100 USAC K&N Silver Crown race at Iowa Speedway, leading 74 of the 100 laps around the seven-eighths-mile paved oval, including the last 38.
Dodson held off repeated challenges from Tracy Hines, who slipped to fourth in the closing laps, while A.J. Fike finished second and series point leader Jerry Coons, Jr. took third.
Fast-qualifier and polesitter Shane Hmiel was one of several drivers involved in race incidents and failed to finish.
Dodson’s run in his Ford/Red Line Oil Beats/Yates Ford owned by NASCAR driver Carl Edwards, earned his team $10,500 from the total purse of $66,150.
The series now gears up for the Aug. 16 Tony Bettenhausen 100 at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield.
