Spencer Diercks
Runner-up finish in Hawkeye 100 prelim in Modified at Maquoketa
After claiming his eighth win of the season at the Iowa oval last week, Spencer Diercks returned to Maquoketa (IA) Speedway over the weekend to pull double duty for the two-day Hawkeye 100.
Against a stout field of 34 World of Outlaws (WoO) Case Late Model Series entries, Diercks recorded a mid-pack qualifying effort but faded in his heat, relegating him into a B-Main. Buried deep in the field, Spencer was a scratch from his 10-lap consolation race.
In the Modified ranks on Friday, Spencer followed up an impressive ninth-to-third heat showing with a runner-up finish in the feature. He joined race-winner Ethan Braaksma and Brandon Schmitt on the podium.
Diercks’ was a scratch from Saturday’s Hawkeye 100 finale.
