Mondus masters Cresco for first Modified win



<B>CRESCO, Iowa --</B> The USRA Casey's General Stores Weekly Racing Series continued with a strong field and some thrilling finishes Sunday at the Cresco Speedway in Cresco, Iowa.

A tough bunch of USRA Modifieds rolled onto the track for the Sunday nightcap with Shawn Ryan of Waterloo on the pole and O'Reilly USMTS regular Alan Mondus of Lakeville, Minn., to his outside.

At the drop of the green flag, Mondus put his machine on the cushion and, despite several caution flags, led the main event wire to wire for his career-first USRA Modified triumph.

Opening night winner Darrin Walch of Postville took home the runner-up prize, with Waterloo's Kevin Pittman finishing third.

Fourth went to Dan Bohr of Decorah. Joey Schaefer of Waterloo, who won two weeks ago, completed the top five. Decorah's Todd Ihde and Keith Pittman were the heat race winners.
