Jim Brennan

(Greenwood, Ne., 6/24/06) What a night of NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series racing
action that included a 15 minute wait for a rain shower. The fans who stuck it
out saw 5 first time winners for 2006 in Joe Feyen, Kevin Bruck, Trish Dover, Corey
Hutchison, Todd Morgan and Justin (Soulman Jr) Soule.

The Pro-am 18 lap feature got off to a bank up start as Chad Sanders took the early
lead. But on lap 2 Mike Powell got upside down between turns 3 and 4 bringing
out the red flag. The rescue crew was very carefull getting him out of the car as
he was complaining of back pains. He was taken to the hospital to be checked out.
On the restart Sanders hung on to the lead, but Joe Feyen was on the move taking
2nd on lap 6 and overtaking Sanders on lap 9. Marty Steinbech made a late race
charge but had to settle for 2nd at the checkered flag. Sanders had his best finish of
the year in 3rd ahead of Tim Podraza and Nick Steier.

The B-Mod feature saw Floyd Richards take command at the drop of the
green flag and appeared to be the car to beat on this night. Bruck, making his
first appearance of the year at I-80, started 8th and found himself in 2nd by lap 3.
From there to the finish Richards did everything he could to hold off Bruck.
But Bruck got past him with one lap left and went on to record the win. Richards
Hung on to 2nd ahead of point leader Harry Nixon..

19 year old Trish Dover spent most of her day in a ballroom dancing competiton.
But when the green flag dropped in the 305 Sprint Car Feature, she did’nt dance
with the fellas, she ran off and hid from them. After starting on the outside front
row Dover shot out front and stayed there the entire 12 laps for her first career
feature win. After a rainout down the road Trish’s whole family was there to help
her celebrate.

The Crate Late Model 20 lap A-Feature saw Todd Morgan take the early lead
from Dave Livingston. On lap 13 Jason Hobscheidt put a slide job on Morgan
coming out of turn 4 and took the lead. The next time around officials threw the
yellow flag to set Hobscheidt back for aggressive driving. Morgan held on from
that point for his 1st win of the year. Hobscheidt finished 2nd ahead of Brad Soll,
Jody Krug and Brad Perdue. Point leader Billy Leighton Jr. finished 8th.

The Tobacco Free Nebraska Pro-Hornets had over 30 cars on hand so they
were split up into 2 A-Feature events. The first feature saw Darin Hoegren
lead lead until lap 6 when Corey Hutchison passed him and went on to record
his 1st career feature win.
The second feature saw Mike Boehmer and Rick Havenridge battle for the
early lead with Havenridge inching past Boehmer as the first lap ended.
Havenridge went on from there to record his 4th win of the year. Perry “The
Soulman” Soule came on to challenge in the closing laps but had to settle for
2nd.
In the TFN Novice Hornet feature Sara Doll took the early lead from the pole starting
Position, Nate Christensen took the lead on lap 4. But after a lap 6 restart Justin
“The Soulman Jr” Soule took the lead and went on to record his first win of the year.

NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series action continues next Saturday with the Crate
