Donnellson,
Iowa (July 22, 1972) – Irv Janey of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was in championship
form at the Lee County Fair on Saturday night, as he came away the winner of
the 50-lap feature for IMCA new model stock cars in the time of 23 minute and
32 seconds. Janey also set fast time in qualifying, speeding around the
half-mile in 27.57 seconds.
Janey
encountered problems in the first heat, yet went on to win the STP trophy dash
and finish second in the pursuit race. He accumulated enough points to retain
and even widen his lead over Gerry Harrison of Topeka, Kan., who had a terrible
night.

Blankenship of Keokuk, Iowa, continued to run well as he won the first heat and
took second in the main event. He is currently in fifth place in the standings,

third.

of Lake Elmo, Minn., finished sixth in the feature and holds down fourth place
