DAVENPORT, Iowa — Chad Simpson picked up his 17th career Lucas Oil MLRA late model triumph Thursday night at Davenport Speedway. Simpson charged to the lead at the start, but it would only last for a pair of laps as Chad Holladay took advantage of a Simpson slip to lead laps three and four. Simpson regained the top spot on lap five, leading until lap 23, when Brandon Sheppard shot to the front, quickly distancing himself from the field. With just two laps to go Gustin suffered a flat right-rear of his own, leaving him shooting off the edge in turn two, again putting Simpson back at the point. With just two laps to go, Chad Simpson raced to his second MLRA win at the Davenport Speedway, making it a Simpson 1-2 finish with brother Chris coming home in the runner-up spot. “We were good, I just couldn’t figure out this thing,” said Chris Simpson.
