FARLEY, Ia. – Aug. 3. A first-time winner took the $2,000 checkers Tuesday  in the first Deery Broth­ers Summer Series event at Farley Speedway in nearly seven years. 

  

Andy Eckrich ran away from the rest of the IMCA Late Model tour feature field, leading the last 43 of 50 cir­cuits. Runner-up Terry Neal was a half lap off the pace when Eckrich crossed the stripe. 

Eckrich already owned a pair of second place finishes in main event starts and was the top rookie in series standings heading
