The McKenna Motorsports team returned to action on Friday night, May 18 at the Cedar County Raceway in Tipton, Iowa. The DART Corn Belt Clash tour invaded Tipton last night and a $3,000 top prize was on the line. Charlie McKenna ran sixth in his loaded heat race and later grabbed the fourth transfer spot through the B-Main. The Clear Lake, Iowa native then advanced his #22 machine up to twelfth in the running order in the feature, but later pulled off the one-groove racing surface and settled for a seventeenth place effort.

Clear Lake, Iowa driver Charlie McKenna and Brad Coin's #22 team had a tripleheader weekend on their schedule from April 20-22 in the Hawkeye State. On Friday night, the Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa played host to a $2,000 to win IMCA Deery Brothers Summer Series program. Charlie won his heat race in preliminary action, but was later involved in a wreck during the A-Main, which led to a disappointing twenty-fourth place finish.

Motor problems then derailed Charlie on Saturday evening at the West Liberty Raceway in West Liberty, Iowa and he was unable to transfer into the $3,000 to win Deery Bros. main event. Due to all of the mechanical issues, the #22 team opted to skip out on Sunday's Deery Bros. showdown at the Dubuque Speedway in Dubuque, Iowa.

After finishing third in the B-Main to transfer into the $2,000 to win IMCA Deery Bros. Summer Series feature event, Charlie fought brake problems throughout the race and wound up fourteenth in the final rundown.

On Saturday evening, the Deery Bros. tour took the #22 team to the 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa for the $3,000 to win 'Slocum 50.' Charlie ran third in his loaded heat race, which earned him a coveted starting spot in the 50-lap main event.
