Third-Place Run in Casey’s General Stores 150 Proves Heckert is a Threat
Speed had not been an issue in most of Scott Heckert’s NASCAR K&N Pro Series East starts in 2014. He had been quick in qualifying and had impressive top-10 qualifying runs on several occasions, but circumstances never quite went his way to have a threat to win come race time. Putting together that “total package” effort for the first time this season on Saturday, May 17 at Iowa Speedway, Heckert was quickest in practice, qualified third and finished third to score his best-career NASCAR K&N Pro Series finish in the Casey’s General Stores 150.

Sam Hornish Jr.’s NASCAR Nationwide Series countdown at Iowa Speedway nearly followed a perfect path.
