Solum, Kruse notch first Iron Man wins at Deer Creek Speedway

With a pair of dominating performances, Pete Solum and Dustin Kruse collected their first-ever Iron Man Challenge victories Saturday night at the Deer Creek Speedway.

Solum, from Spring Grove, Minn., started fourth in the 20-lap Holley USRA Stock Car main event with seven-time USRA national champ Mitch Hovden on the pole.

Hovden, seeking his fourth Iron Man trophy of the 2017 campaign, led the first three laps but Solum quickly tracked him down, passed him and sailed away to score $600 for his first Iron Man Challenge triumph.

Steve Jackson advanced from the 12th starting spot to finish third with Dan Jones fourth and points leader Derek Green rounding out the top five.
