Kosiski roars to feature win at I-80 Speedway
BY TODD HENRICHS \ Lincoln Journal Star
GREENWOOD — It’s been quite a week for Steve Kosiski.
Only days after being named one of the all-time greats in NASCAR weekly racing history, Kosiski proved he’s still one to contend with Sunday night at I-80 Speedway.
Kosiski took the lead from Kelly Boen on lap 2 and held off repeated challenges by the Colorado driver to take the 50-lap Alphabet Soup feature race.
“My car was feeling good and I wasn’t about to give it to them,” said Kosiski, who compared the win — worth $5,000 — to some of the biggest victories of his career." Full article - JournalStar.com

Boston offers Eagle incentive to fan
From Gary Dominguez
Eagle, NE (May 27. 2006) - On a warm windy Saturday night before a Fan Appreciation Night Crowd at Eagle Raceway, a true champion came through in the spirit of racing.
During intermission, Mike Boston (sprint car #51) who had won the previous 3 A Features negotiated with Roger Hadan of Eagle Raceway, and Gary Dominguez of Woods Bros. Realty an agreement for an extra $500 to win the feature from 1 row further back than his regular starting position in the A Feature.
In an unexpected twist, Mike agreed to these terms only if the $500 would go to the fan in the stands that caught his thrown "Power Ball". Sadly, Mike's 9th Place finish in the feature negated the agreement, and the money will be offered in a different format at a different time pending. "There was no doubt in my mind that Mike is a class act, and a true ambassador of Racing. This just reaffirmed what I had already known" said Dominguez. "It reminds me of when he won the "Hard Charger Award" a few years back, and gave the money to the benefit of an injured Tige Jensen", a fellow driver who was injured a few weeks before at Junction Motor Speedway.
Hats off to Mike, his family, and his race team for their participation in helping to "support the sport" of racing!

Nebraska's Alley Ninth Winner in Knoxville 410s
5/27/2006 - By Bob Wilson
Knoxville, Iowa - May 27 - Billy Alley and Jon Corbin won the 410 A feature at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. Alley's became the ninth different winner in the division this season.
For Alley the win was anything but easy although he started on the front row. Young Rager Phillips chased him the first lap but gave way on the second round to Skip Jackson. A yellow was thrown for a stopped car on the track and on the restart Alley blew through turns one and two on the cushion to pull away from Jackson.
The final nine laps saw Alley keep the Gifford Motorsports sprinter in front as he worked the cushion to perfection. Everyone's eyes were glued to Madsen as he dove to the bottom in each turn in an attempt to overtake Jackson. The two Aussies masterfully maneuvered the big Knoxville half mile with Brian Brown coming into contention late.
In the end Alley claimed the $3,000 to win event, his second career 410 win here. The excited youngster climbed the inside retaining wall and stood pumping his arms toward the sky. In the victory winners circle he said he felt he had "dropped a cylinder,but kept on going". Jackson, Madsen and Brown followed with Lynton Jeffrey taking fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Matt Moro, Jesse Giannetto from dead last, Clint Garner from 18th, Bronson Maeschen and Kaley Gharst. Twenty-nine cars competed in the division."

Eagle Raceway 5-27-2006 Results
By Greg Soukup
Despite a reported 2 ½” of rain Saturday morning, “America’s Home Track” ran it’s full schedule of racing. Sunny skies and a strong southerly wind helped dry out the track. And thanks to the diligent and furious work of the Eagle track prep crew who didn’t even get onto the track until nearly 3 P.M., racing started right on time.
Several thousand fans turned out for Fan Appreciation Night, sponsored by Heidelberg’s Sports Bar. And, although the track turned dry-slick thanks to that same southerly wind, there was no shortage of exciting racing. At times in the “No Fear” Modified A feature, the racing was 3-wide.
The Modified A started off by having the front row starters Matt Richards and Tim Pickens relegated to the second row because of a bad start, but they quickly remained in the hunt for the top two positions. Richards spun out with 18 laps to go and Pickens took over the top spot 1 lap later. Sean Burkland then took over the lead with 15 laps left and held the lead spot until Mike Meyer overtook him with just 4 laps to go.
Meyer, having moved up from his starting position on the inside of the 6th row, managed to hold his position at the front of the pack and brought home the victory. He was followed closely by the B9 of Sean Burkland and the 21 of Phil Penney.
Mike said “It is nice to see that the track isn’t the same every week, and changes throughout the night”. “Since it was slick and taking rubber I knew that I had to be patient and watch the cars in front of me to see where I could run and then improve on what they were doing.” “Of course, I couldn’t do any of this without all of my great sponsors and my pit crew”. “I also want to say thanks to Roger Hadan. He’s doing a great job!”
In the Stereo West Auto Toys Tuners, Adrian Dover backed up her A Feature win by coming home in 1st place again this week. In only 4 weeks of racing, she has managed 3 wins!! Pretty good for any racer, but even more amazing since this is her very first year racing.
Adrian had this to say about her experiences behind the wheel: “We have such a fine group of racers here at Eagle. We get along so well. Without that feeling, we wouldn’t have nearly as much fun. And believe me, I am having fun!!!” She also sent out thanks to her sponsors, 3D Auto Transport and Dover’s Auto Sales. Adrian also said “I want to give special thanks to Corey, Jason, Jack and of course my dad Mark”.
Ron Novak of Blair captured the A Feature in the Stereo West Auto Toys Hobby Stocks. When asked about his win, Ron said “I just hung on and won.” “I had the trailing arm break right off the top of the axle with about 6 laps to go. I said to myself ‘Well, I can’t slow down now”.
Ron, a 3 year veteran now in the Hobby Stock ranks, is what many would call an old-time racer. Not because he isn’t a youngster anymore, but because he has no sponsors and no pit crew. Ron related that “If the roof leaks, I just grab the silicone and it doesn’t leak anymore”.
After having run the last 2 years at Columbus he added Eagle to his regular racing this year; all this out of his own pocket, and with his own labor. Way to go Ron, you are an inspiration to a lot of racers out there!!
Jason Danley, in the 82 made a triumphant return to Eagle Raceway by winning the Budweiser 360 Championship Sprint Feature after having started on the inside of the 6th row. Jason has been racing all over the area, but decided to come back to the track that he likes to call home. “It really does you good to go out and race against the type of competition we had to. It humbles you, and then you come back and find out that maybe you aren’t as bad as you thought. It’s great to back here at Eagle.”
Jason said that even though he didn’t race last week, he did come and watch Mike Boston’s 3rd straight A Feature win. “Mike won because he was the smartest. He knew where to go and went there.” “Mike and I have raced against each other for a long time, and he’s always raced me clean.” “As much as I hated to see Mike’s streak come to an end, I’m glad that I was the one to do it”.
When I approached Mike Boston he said “Not this week.” I then said “That’s probably just so you didn’t have to talk to me again, right?” To which he replied “Exactly!!” When told of what Jason had said about him and ending his streak, Mike said “I’m glad it happened really. Now the spotlight is on him and all the pressure. We just didn’t have a very good car tonight and I’m happy for Jason”.
When asked about the track conditions Jason had this to say: “I like a dry-slick track. It makes it easier on an old man”. “We needed a good night after the way we ran last night at Junction Motor Speedway”.
The A Feature for the Sprints was possibly the most exciting of the evening. Jack Dover moved into 1st place after only 3 laps, and then 6 laps later Ryan Roberts moved into 2nd. The two battled fiercely until with 5 laps left Roberts got beside Dover on the front stretch and made contact. That contact caused Dover’s nose wing to be damaged and he was forced to go to the pits after losing part of it on the track. Roberts was moved back to 4th place for having caused the debris. Danley then quickly took the lead and was followed very closely to the checkered flag by Larry Pinegar II in the 13F and Roberts in the 18.
Don’t miss next week’s action when Parker’s Rib Ranch presents “Student Break Out Night” at Eagle. Besides the regular classes, there will be a special School Bus race added to the program.

Wallace and Hartman Repeat at I-80
By Jim Brennan - Nebraska Raceway Park
(Greenwood, Ne., 5/27/06) – The NASCAR, Dodge Weekly Racing series saw a pair
of repeat winners Saturday night as Mike Wallace and Scotty Hartman turned the
trick in the Crate Late Models and Pro-ams.
Wallace is hoping that his next feature win won’t come as a result of rebuilding the car
after a wreck. Wallace and his crew spent most of the later part of the week replacing
the front stub on the Mike Collins owned car. They just put the finishing touches on
it before leaving for the track. He started by winning his heat race over Todd Morgan.
He started the 20 lap on the pole after the top 15 were inverted. Wallace and racing
legend Ron Tilley battled for the early lead with Tilley taking the early lead on the
back stretch. But lap 2 saw Wallace pass Tilley for the lead and eventual win. Several
restarts bunched up the field, but Wallace stayed in front on each one. Bill Leighton Jr.
was the last one to have a shot at Wallace but he could’nt get it done and Wallace claimed his 2nd win of the year. Wallace told me he does’nt like starting on the front
row because the only place to go is back. At the checkered flag several cars got
together and Jason Hobscheidt got turned around. Ron Tex Jr., Dave Doll and Kent
Schimenti rounded out the top 5. Hobscheidt ended up 16th.
The Certified Transmission Pro-am 18 lap feature saw Jason Cieslik race to an early
lead from his pole position start with Ray Dessell following in 2nd. Nick Steier moved into 3rd on lap 2 and 2nd on lap 5. But Scotty Hartman was hot on his tail. Hartman
passed Steier for 2nd on lap 9. After chasing Cieslik for 6 laps Hartman was able to
take the lead with 2 laps left. Larry Robinson Jr. made a late race charge after
starting 15th, but he could’nt reel in Hartman and had to settle for 2nd. Cieslik finished
3rd ahead of Joe Feyen and Steier. Hartman, who is leading the points, also won his
heat race.
The B-Mod feature saw Mike Christiansen take the early lead. But Harry Nixon was
on the move and looking for his 3rd feature win. Nixon took the lead on lap 4 and
was on his way until lap 11 when he lost fuel pressure and Jim Fritz took the lead.
Fritz then held on and took the checkered flag for his first career feature win. Larry
Robinson Sr took 2nd over Daryl Weilage and Jim Hendricks.
The Trail Performance/Trade Center Automotive 305 Sprint Cars made their 2nd appearance of the season and Matt Stephanson made the long haul from Des Moines
worthwhile as he picked up his 1st win of the year. Only 4 of 6 cars started the
feature but Stephanson charged from the outside front row and led all the way.
Matthew Stelzer finished 2nd ahead of Trish Dover and Michael Oliver. Oliver
Won the heat race with Dover in 2nd.
The Tobacco Free Nebraska Pro-Hornet 12 lap feature saw Austin Kurtzer go from
3rd to 1st on the opening lap and looked like it was a sure thing that he would win.
But Rick Havenridge, who started 11th, had other ideas as he charged his way to 2nd
by lap 4. And on the lat lap out of turn 4 Havenridge ducked underneath Kurtzer to
take his 2nd feature win of the year. And in the process Havenridge and Kurtzer are now tied for the top spot in points. Havenridge has the advantage though with 2 feature
wins to Kurtzer’s 0 feature wins.
The TFN Novice Hornet feature saw Steve McConnell take the early lead only to
lose it on lap 2 to Nathan Brown. Brown led the rest of the way to what appeared to
be his first career feature win. But in the tech area he was disqualified for using
spring rubbers on what is supposed to be a virtually a street car. This gave the
win to Taylor Collins with Bryan Hull in 2nd.
Next Saturday, June 3rd, is Nebraska Auto Racing Hall of Fame night at I-80 featuring the
NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series Crate Late Models, Certified Transmission Pro-
Ams, B-Mods and Tobacco Free Nebraska Hornets.. Hot laps are at 6:30 with racing

Peters Pounces on ASCS Midwest Region at McCool Junction
From ASCSBy Lonnie Wheatley
Jason Orth Photo - Click for larger image
McCOOL JUNCTION, Neb. (May 26, 2006) – South Dakota’s Jake Peters took full advantage of a timely red flag to capture victory honors in Friday night’s 25-lap American Sprint Car Series Midwest Region feature at Junction Motor Speedway.
Current series point leader Brian Brown slipped around Peters on the 14th round for the point, only to have the move negated for Michael Woodruff’s turn four tumble. Given a reprieve, Peters led the rest of the way to snare his first ASCS Midwest Region feature win aboard the Weseman-powered Folkens Brothers Trucking/Bubba Farms No. 57x Schnee.
“That first yellow couldn’t have come at a better time for me,” Peters confessed after the victory. “I came up on the lapped car and got in a little too hard and got off the bottom and Brian got by me.”
Peters earned the pole position for the feature by racing from seventh to second in his heat race, then outgunned fellow front row starter Mike Chadd to take the early lead in the feature.
As Peters slipped away from the field, Brown disposed of Chadd for the runner-up slot on the second round. But Peters encountered lapped traffic by the ninth round, allowing Brown to close the gap.
When Peters went to the high side on the 14th circuit, Brown dove to the bottom in turn two to take the lead, only to have the move nullified by Woodruff’s tumble.
Peters took off on the restart, leaving Brown and Chadd in his wake as Rick Ideus took fourth from Jon Corbin. Even a final red flag for Chad Humston’s turn four flip with 21 laps in the books couldn’t deter Peters’ victory drive, as he cruised to the checkered flag over the final four rounds unabated.
Brown settled for second, with Chadd, Ideus and Corbin rounding out the top five. Doug Lovegrove crossed the stripe sixth, with Dusty Zomer, Seth Brahmer, 17th-starter Don Droud, Jr., and J.D. Johnson completing the top ten.
Heat race wins were claimed by Chadd, Corbin, Zomer and Lovegrove, with Droud topping the 12-lap “B” Main.

Special Incentive for Eagle Sprint Driver
Gary Dominguez and Woods Bros. Realty will be announcing a special incentive for an Eagle Sprint Car driver at intermission on Saturday May 27.
We'll have to wait to know the details...Gary was evasive when I asked him to explain the incentive, but he said it wasn't a bounty on Mike Boston, who's won three features straight.

The Pace Lap – Friday May 26, 2006
Welcome to the May 26, 2006 edition of "The Pace Lap" - news, tidbits and commentary. As always, if you have something you'd like to share, no matter how small, please send me an email.
-Saw this posted by "leap-off" on the Dirtdrivers Message Board: "If it was raining beer at the track, someone would b*tch about not getting free mugs to hold it." How true.
-I'm anxious to see how the Jumbotron works out at Eagle this weekend. They'll be getting some kinks out of the machine, but it's a great debut time - fan appreciation night. If it enhances the fan experience, then I'm all for it. Promoter Roger Hadan (that's H-A-D-A-N) says even more additions are in store.
-Matt Richards debuted a sharp-looking new car at Eagle last Saturday, but it didn't get to spend much time on the track as he had mechanical problems. Let's hope we see more of the car this weekend.
-Open Wheel fans should take note of the powerhouse lineup at Junction Motor Speedway this Friday. POWRi midgets, RMMRA midgets and ASCS Midwest sprints are featured in what promises to be one of the best open wheel shows in 2006. The Midgets will run their finale on Saturday along with the JMS weekly classes, minus Late Models.
-A lot of talk has been about Mike Boston's three win streak in the sprints at Eagle. It's certainly impressive as 3 has been the maximum number of wins in a SEASON the past few years, save for Billy Alley's 5 in 2002. The last 4-peat at Eagle I can find is John Gerloff's streak of 4 features in a row in 1995.
-BUT: Trevor Grossenbacher has won all 4 Multi-Class A features this season at Wavelink Raceway Park...
-Other tales of dominance: Benji Legg of Beatrice has taken 4 out of 5 B-Mod races at Beatrice, while Johnny Saathoff has taken 3 of 5 IMCA Modified races at U.S. 30 Speedway.
-A couple of weeks ago, I asked for story ideas from readers. I received several good ideas. Don't fret, sometimes feature stories take some time to develop and time to be fit in to papers, but I'm starting work on a story now and hopefully it will be featured soon. I'll keep you posted.
-I don't want to be accused of playing "favorites" and whitewashing the issue of the week. It's dominated the message boards and a lot of conversations this week, but a claim dispute in the Tuner division at Eagle Raceway turned into a physical altercation between driver Mike Kennedy and promoter Roger Hadan. I've heard Roger's account, and read Mike's account (posting as "9502cougar") on Dirtdrivers.com. It led to several law enforcement officers hanging out on the premises for nearly an hour. Regardless of what happened, it all looks bad.
As an aside, would a lawyer think it's a good idea for someone involved in a pending criminal case to be posting on a public forum?
- I'm not a fan of claim rules of any kind. Look at how the IMCA motor claim has turned into a grudge weapon. I thought the Tuners/Hornets/etc. were supposed to be about having fun? Add points and a season championship trophy and look what happens. Here's my idea - in your low-buck entry class, don't run for points. You draw for starting spots and run for a trophy each night. Want to keep the same guy from winning? Tell them to start dead last or sit them out for a week after the third win. I don't think that leads to nothing but smiles and beer after every race but I think it would help everyone keep things in perspective.
-Jason Hobscheidt leads the Dodge Weekly Series points in the Saturday Late Model Division with a slim 10 point lead over Dave Livingston. Scotty Hartman holds a 12 point advantage over last week's winner Shawn Bulin in the Pro-Ams while Floyd Richards and Ole Olson leads the way in the B-Mods and Pro Hornet divisions respectively. Nate Christensen has a strong 18 points lead in the Novice Hornets and the 305 Sprint Cars have Rob Kubli in the lead after one points night in the books. The 305 Sprint Cars will be making their second appearance of the season this weekend.
-Fans heading to JMS will hear long time RMMRA Midget Series announce Mitch Miller behind the mic. Mitch has been announcing RMMRA races for the past 40 years. Midget fans love tradition and this will be a great opportunity to hear a racing legend.
-While not SE Nebraska news, this affects dirt track racing as a whole: For those who haven't seen it, there's a major shakeup in DIRT Motorsports leadership. DIRT Motorsports founder Paul Kruger has resigned, with former NASCAR Weekly Series director Tom Deery taking the reins. The largest group of dirt track sanctioning bodies, including the World of Outlaws Sprint and Late Model Series, the DIRT Modified series as well as UMP and MARS series have announced that all debts, save for that owed on three tracks (Lernerville, Volusia, and Canandaigua) have been paid. The long-term debt issue was one of the sticking points regarding the exit of longtime WoO competitors such as Steve Kinser and Danny Lasoski and the formation of the NST.
-Saw this posted by "leap-off" on the Dirtdrivers Message Board: "If it was raining beer at the track, someone would b*tch about not getting free mugs to hold it." How true.
-I'm anxious to see how the Jumbotron works out at Eagle this weekend. They'll be getting some kinks out of the machine, but it's a great debut time - fan appreciation night. If it enhances the fan experience, then I'm all for it. Promoter Roger Hadan (that's H-A-D-A-N) says even more additions are in store.
-Matt Richards debuted a sharp-looking new car at Eagle last Saturday, but it didn't get to spend much time on the track as he had mechanical problems. Let's hope we see more of the car this weekend.
-Open Wheel fans should take note of the powerhouse lineup at Junction Motor Speedway this Friday. POWRi midgets, RMMRA midgets and ASCS Midwest sprints are featured in what promises to be one of the best open wheel shows in 2006. The Midgets will run their finale on Saturday along with the JMS weekly classes, minus Late Models.
-A lot of talk has been about Mike Boston's three win streak in the sprints at Eagle. It's certainly impressive as 3 has been the maximum number of wins in a SEASON the past few years, save for Billy Alley's 5 in 2002. The last 4-peat at Eagle I can find is John Gerloff's streak of 4 features in a row in 1995.
-BUT: Trevor Grossenbacher has won all 4 Multi-Class A features this season at Wavelink Raceway Park...
-Other tales of dominance: Benji Legg of Beatrice has taken 4 out of 5 B-Mod races at Beatrice, while Johnny Saathoff has taken 3 of 5 IMCA Modified races at U.S. 30 Speedway.
-A couple of weeks ago, I asked for story ideas from readers. I received several good ideas. Don't fret, sometimes feature stories take some time to develop and time to be fit in to papers, but I'm starting work on a story now and hopefully it will be featured soon. I'll keep you posted.

Open for Business: Customers stick to Harris Decals
The Lincoln Journal-Star featured Lincoln-based Harris Decals, a provider of graphics for many drivers in the area in its weekly local business feature this week.
By RODD CAYTON/Lincoln Journal Star
One fact of automobile racing is that the faster you move, the more likely you are to win.
Race car owners and drivers expect their suppliers, such as Harris Decals Inc. of Lincoln, to keep the pace.
“Customers don’t always know exactly what they want,” company president and owner Nate Harris said, but they want a vendor who can help them flesh out a vague idea. “They want fast and friendly service.”
Harris said he started the business as way of maintaining a presence in motor sports, of which he has been a lifelong fan.
“I never expected it to grow this big,” he said, referring to the 800-plus competition vehicles his company bedecks each year.
The company does business nationally and internationally, designing and making decals for new cars, and putting together replacement sets in a hurry, such as might be needed by a driver who loses a door during a race.
The decals range from numbers to sponsor logos to aesthetic add-ons." Click for full article:

Eagle Debuts Jumbotron This Week
Let the Jumbotron rumors be put to rest. I'm still trying to figure out how one is "evasive" in their own press release ;-)
From Eagle Raceway
From Eagle Raceway
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Eagle Raceway, America’s Home Track, announces the arrival of “EagleVision”
Eagle, NE -- May 24, 2006 -- Today Roger Hadan of Full Throttle Entertainment announced that “EagleVision”, a two story tall by nearly three stories wide Sony Jumbotron, will make its debut at the speedway this weekend.
The actual dimension of the massive video display is 20 feet tall by twenty six feet wide with nearly 450 square feet of advertising space completely surrounding the view screen. Fans attending this weekend’s races will experience first hand a whole new dimension to what is already the premiere dirt short-track racing program in the area. With the installation of the Jumbotron, Eagle Raceway becomes just the second dirt oval in the entire nation known to have a large scale video wall device.
“This is truly a quantum leap forward in fan entertainment and a whole new opportunity for our sponsors and advertisers”, Hadan said. When specifically asked what content would appear on the Jumbotron, Hadan turned evasive. “We have numerous, numerous things planned for EagleVision throughout the course of our racing season. We have uses for the Jumbotron whichwill appeal to all facets of our fan base, sponsors, race teams, and anyone who may be new to our racing program. I don’t want to spoil any of the surprises we have planned for later down the road, so all I can really say is that there will be new forms of entertainment added throughout the course of the season. In fact, we have so many upgrades and enhancements planned for Eagle Raceway that we may very well run out of race season before we get them all implemented.”
EagleVision makes its maiden voyage this Saturday during Heidelbergs Sports Bar Fan Appreciation Night. The front gates open at 5:30 pm with racing action set to begin at 7:00 pm.
Admission for all ages is only $5 with children 5 & under free. Eagle Raceway is located 12 miles east of Lincoln, NE (2 miles east of Eagle, NE) on U.S. Hwy. 34 ('O' Street) or 11 miles south of Interstate 80, exit 420, at the intersection of Nebraska Hwy 63 and U.S. Hwy 34. We’ll see you at Eagle Raceway, America’s Home Track!

Eagle Raceway Memorial Day Enduro Canceled
FYI: in the past, Eagle Raceway has agreed not to run on Memorial Day out of a gentlemen's agreement with the Eagle Cemetery.
Eagle Raceway: "Eagle Raceway has cancelled the Memorial Day Enduro Bash. This decision is made out of respect for the Eagle Cemetery which is located east of the race track.
Full Throttle Entertainment was unaware of the agreements of the previous owners. The Memorial Day Enduro will be added to the Labor Day Enduro Bash. This will make the Labor Day Enduro worth $2000 to win with a compact car or $3000 to win with a mini-van. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause and have a Happy Memorial Day.

I-80: Zeitner Edges Out Kosiski With Last Lap Pass
By Joey Sparano
Leon Zeitner became the first repeat winner in the Dodge Super Latemodel class at I-80 Speedway. Meanwhile Justin Clark, Trevor Millikan, and Jesse Sobbing all picked up their first wins as USG presented the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series.
The 25 lap Super Latemodel "A" main event would see inside row two starter Jerry Warner jump out to an early lead on lap one. Warner would hold the lead for 14 laps over Leon Zeitner until a host of yellows from laps 14 to 16. One yellow included a pile up in turn three that involved Russ Hadan, Scott Koskovich, Jason Hobsheidt, and Robbie Andersen. On the restart after the lap 16 yellow, Zeitner, 16th place starter Joe Kosiski, and 2005 NASCAR Division II Champion Chris Spieker would all sneak by Warner. For the remaining of the race Zeitner, Kosiski, and Spieker would run three wide with Zeitner maintaining the point. On lap 24 points leader Kosiski would make the pass for the lead on the front shoot, Zeitner would retake the lead in turns one and two, but Kosiski pulled the cross over move down the back straightaway. Kosiski and Zeitner would race side by side in turns three and four. The drag race down the front saw Zeitner edge out Kosiski by a nose. Spieker would take third, Warner fourth, and Ed Kosiski fifth.
The Home Pride Modifieds had outside front row starter Johnnie Wyman grab the early lead over Scott Carlson and Rodney Stopak. Wyman would hold the lead for the first eight circuits. His night would end on the eighth lap when his #44 would loose a drive shaft entering turn three. Taking command of the race then was the #74 of Justin Clark who had charged from the tenth starting spot. Clark would hold the lead for the remaining ten laps to take the win. J.C. Wyman, Scott Carlson, Jerimiah Silman, and Nick Carlson rounded out the top five.
The Grand National Latemodels saw second place starter Trevor Millikan take the early lead. The race would see green flag racing until lap 11 when Tony Leonardo rolled his #96 in turn one. The wreck also involved the #2x of Andrew Kosiski, the #5 of Mike Svagera, and the #6 of Jacob Hoffman. All drivers would walk away uninjured. When racing resumed, Millikan would hold the lead over a fast charging Dave Livingston. Livingston would get along side Millikan's #22m, but he was unable to make the pass. Millikan would go on to take the win. Livingston was second. Harley Moen was third. "Shop Ron" Tilley brought home fourth, and Dave Doll took fifth.
The Stereo West AutoToys Hobby Stocks saw Jesse Sobbing take the "A" feature victory after early race leader Tom Myers lost a wheel. Jeremy Swanson was second. Justin Leach was third. Jeremy Auten and Josh True rounded off the top five.

Eagle Raceway 5-20-2006 Results
By Greg SoukupA cloudy, drizzly morning at Eagle Raceway gave way to a sunny, warm afternoon. Eventually, that gave way to a wonderful, cool evening of racing at “America’s Home Track”.
All told, the crowd saw 11 heats, 2 B Features and 4 A Features on the high-banked 1/3 mile. Thankfully, there were no major accidents during the show.
The A Feature for the Stereo West Auto Toys Tuners was won by the 01 car of Adrian Dover.
Taking the checkered flag first in the IMCA No Fear Modifieds was Stacey Wilhelm in the 3W.
The victor of the Stereo West Auto Toys Hobby Stocks was #42, Rob Brown. After the races, I spoke with Rob and asked him if he had anything he would like to pass along to the fans. Rob replied: “It’s always great to win a feature, especially at a track like Eagle. I do want to say that I won tonight as a birthday present for my girlfriend Jean.”“It’s easy to be fast when you have a good pit crew like mine, and great sponsors like I have.”“I want to thank Brown Glass Company, L G S of Lincoln, Dean and Don Johnson, Spyder Race Cars and a big thanks to Jim & Todd”.
The Budweiser Championship 360 Sprint feature was thrilling to say the least, although there were several cautions in the early going. Don Droud Jr. broke from his outside pole position to lead the first 17 laps, despite a furious challenge from young Ryan Roberts, he gave Droud all that he could handle. After having gotten over the cushion in turns 3 & 4 on the 12th lap, Ryan came very close to tipping over; but recovered to again catch Droud and attempt to overtake him. Unfortunately, after what can only be described as a banzai move in turns 1 & 2 on the 17th lap, Roberts spun out and had to retire in 18th position. Eventual sprint winner Mike Boston had a lot of praise for Ryan, but did say that “he just needs to learn patience. In fact, Ryan was “the”subject of many conversations in the pits afterwards.
Boston moved into first place on lap 18. 2 laps later, Gene Acklund flipped in the 3rd turn. Mike had to hold off the 19J of Jay Jordan and Larry Pinegar II who finished 3rd after moving up from 15th starting position. Also making a huge rush to the front was Jeff Griffis who advanced from his 20th starting spot to finish 7th.
When I spoke to Mike after the races, I accused him of lying to me. Mike had to be reminded that when he came into the pits that afternoon I had told him that I had asked Darrel Boston if the team was going to let someone else win that night, to which he replied “Heck No!!!”. So, I asked Mike the same question, and he told me “of course, it’s boring if the same guy wins every week”.
Mike then told me: “Honestly, I’d rather be lucky than good. Sometimes, like tonight, things just fall your way. As I said last week, it’s unbelievable to win 1 feature here at Eagle, let alone 3 in a row.”

Eagle Sprint Cars Ready to Go
It was nice to see the sprint cars staged and ready to roll right after the Modified feature Saturday night. In Roger Hadan's effort to get the show done by 10:30, they need every minute they can get.
I know Roger had some "incentive" but I would like to suggest this week's $100 fan reaction bonus should go to the sprint car point fund.
Good job guys!

I-80 May 20: Hobscheidt, Bulin And Carlson Get First Feature Wins In 2006
By Jim Brennan
(Greenwood, Ne., 5/20/06) – The NASCAR, Dodge Weekly Racing series saw 106
cars and drivers sign in to compete Saturday night. Jason Hobscheidt, Shawn Bulin and
Lynn Carlson picked up their first feature wins of the year.
Hobscheidt started the Crate Late Model feature in the 10th position and watched as
Jon Schwartz grabbed the early lead. Ron Tilley, who started 6th, moved into 2nd on
lap 3 and took the lead from Schwartz on lap 5. Dave Livingston took 2nd on lap 6 followed by Hobscheidt and Jody Krug. Hobscheidt took over the lead on lap 8.
Tilley, Livingston and Krug then locked in a 3 way battle for 2nd with Krug taking
that position on lap 13. Livingston came on strong to take 2nd with 3 laps left.
But Livingston could not overhaul Hobscheidt and had to settle for 2nd. Hobscheidts
first win of the season combined with Billy Leighton finishing 9th, gave Hobscheidt
the points lead after 4 nights of racing. Krug finished 3rd ahead of Dave Doll, Kent
Schimenti and Trevor Millikan.
In the Certified Transmission Pro-am 18 lap feature Terry Cleveland took the early
lead from his pole starting position and held it til lap 12. Shawn Bulin, who started
9th had been steadily moving up in the field and grabbed the lead on that lap. From
that point Bulin pulled away and went on to record his first win of the year. Cleveland
held on to 2nd ahead of Jeff Kupke, Don Mohr and Scotty Hartman.
Ben Romey charge in front from his pole position in the B-Mod 10 lap feature event.
But it would be short lived as Mike Christiansen passed him on the back straight.
Floyd Richards took over the lead on lap 3 with Harry Nixon moving to 3rd.
Christiansen who dropped all the way to 4th made contact with Nixon and spun him
out. On the next yellow flag Christiansen was set back 2 spots. Nixon worked his
way up to challenge Richards at the end. With both drivers running side by side
Richards was able to hold on and record his 2nd win of the season. Jim Fritz finished
3rd ahead of Jim Hendricks Jr. and Lacey Tuttle.
The Smoke Free Nebraska Hornets had a lot of problems on this night; the Pro-Hornets
had a 9 car pileup on the back straight away in the opening lap. Austin Kurtzers car
would end up standing on its nose. When they restarted Rick Havenridge charged to
the early lead. But officials ruled that Havenridge had jumped the start passing one car
before the green flag flew. So after lap 3 a yellow flag flew so official could set back
Havenridge his 3 spots. Perry “The Soul Man” Soule took over the lead on lap 4 and
Went on to record his 2nd feature win of the year.
In the SFN Novice Hornet feature on the opening lap a mixup on the back stretch saw
Amanda Leonardo get sideways and flip 5 times before coming to rest. The Safety Crew
got her stabilized and had to cut the roof off of her car to extract her. She was complaining of some neck pain, so the ambulance took her into the hospital to be
checked over. On the restart Mollee Collins took the early lead only to lose it in turn 1
to Lynn Carlson. Carlson held off a late charge by Nate Christensen to record her first
career win and in turn snapped Christensen win streak at 3. Collins held on for 3rd ahead
of Nathan Brown and Sara Doll.
There was a special Challenge race for teachers and administrators from the Ralston
School district in Hornet cars. The “Teacher Feature” started 8 cars. Mark Fugleberg,
The Ralston High School Tech teacher who helped some of his students build a hornet
car in 2005, won the race over Greg Sheperd, the Ralston High School Principal and
Bob Brown, the president of the Board of Education.

Repeat winners at The Speed Bowl
By Mike Hughes
RED CLOUD, NE (May 19)—Some familiar faces found their way to victory lane at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, May 19.
Josh Hudson of Kensington, KS, won his third IMCA Stock Car feature of the season at the 3/8-mile oval. Cory Struckhoff, also of Kensington, led the first 7 laps of the 20-lap race before Hudson was able to make the pass. The lone caution of the race came out on lap 18, bunching up the field for the restart. Hudson was able to hold off his teammate, while Jared Remus finished third, followed by Brett Behrends and Matt Streit. Ron Olson and Geoffrey Jermark won the two heat races.
The IMCA Modified feature saw its share of caution flags in the 20-lap event. The race got off to a rough start when Lonnie Veteto took out a section of guardrail coming out of turn 2 on the opening lap. When the race restarted, Dwight Housh took the lead, only to see the caution on lap 2 for a spinning Joby Hanson. On the ensuing restart, Superior’s Jon Thompson passed Housh to take a lead he would not relinquish enroute to his second win of the year. The caution waved 3 more times in the race, keeping the field close. Hometown driver Lonnie Schriner hounded Thompson late in the race but had to settle for the runner-up spot. Tim Watts, Dusty Blake and Todd Peterson rounded out the top five. Thompson and Hanson were victorious in the two heat races.
Blue Hill’s Jamie Reiman won his first IMCA Hobby Stock feature of the season at Red Cloud in the most exciting race of the night. Chase Carraher led the first three laps of the 15-lap race before Reiman took the top spot. Carraher retook the lead on lap 5 and held on until lap 8 when Reiman took command again. Reiman, Joe McDole, and Carraher ran side-by-side and nose-to-tail the last half of the race, with 5 other drivers within striking distance and swapping positions. Reiman held on for the win, trailed by Jerry Hudson, McDole, Jim Buss and Wade Wagenblast. Heat race winners were Jared Lewis and Carraher.
The Guide Rock duo of Ron & Kent Duffy won their second Cruiser main event of the season. The Duffys led most of the way to the checkers with heat two winners Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe in second. Josh & Vic Jacobitz finished third, followed by heat one winners Joe & Jacob Krone.
Racing action returns to The Speed Bowl Friday evening, May 26. It will be ‘Bud Night’ with lots of giveaways and a special appearance by the #8 Budweiser race car. Race time is 8:00 p.m.

RED CLOUD, NE (May 19)—Some familiar faces found their way to victory lane at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, May 19.
Josh Hudson of Kensington, KS, won his third IMCA Stock Car feature of the season at the 3/8-mile oval. Cory Struckhoff, also of Kensington, led the first 7 laps of the 20-lap race before Hudson was able to make the pass. The lone caution of the race came out on lap 18, bunching up the field for the restart. Hudson was able to hold off his teammate, while Jared Remus finished third, followed by Brett Behrends and Matt Streit. Ron Olson and Geoffrey Jermark won the two heat races.
The IMCA Modified feature saw its share of caution flags in the 20-lap event. The race got off to a rough start when Lonnie Veteto took out a section of guardrail coming out of turn 2 on the opening lap. When the race restarted, Dwight Housh took the lead, only to see the caution on lap 2 for a spinning Joby Hanson. On the ensuing restart, Superior’s Jon Thompson passed Housh to take a lead he would not relinquish enroute to his second win of the year. The caution waved 3 more times in the race, keeping the field close. Hometown driver Lonnie Schriner hounded Thompson late in the race but had to settle for the runner-up spot. Tim Watts, Dusty Blake and Todd Peterson rounded out the top five. Thompson and Hanson were victorious in the two heat races.
Blue Hill’s Jamie Reiman won his first IMCA Hobby Stock feature of the season at Red Cloud in the most exciting race of the night. Chase Carraher led the first three laps of the 15-lap race before Reiman took the top spot. Carraher retook the lead on lap 5 and held on until lap 8 when Reiman took command again. Reiman, Joe McDole, and Carraher ran side-by-side and nose-to-tail the last half of the race, with 5 other drivers within striking distance and swapping positions. Reiman held on for the win, trailed by Jerry Hudson, McDole, Jim Buss and Wade Wagenblast. Heat race winners were Jared Lewis and Carraher.
The Guide Rock duo of Ron & Kent Duffy won their second Cruiser main event of the season. The Duffys led most of the way to the checkers with heat two winners Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe in second. Josh & Vic Jacobitz finished third, followed by heat one winners Joe & Jacob Krone.
Racing action returns to The Speed Bowl Friday evening, May 26. It will be ‘Bud Night’ with lots of giveaways and a special appearance by the #8 Budweiser race car. Race time is 8:00 p.m.
