Nicholson, Carlson, Krug, and Myers Pick Up Feature Wins at I-80 Speedway

By Joey Sparano

(GREENWOOD, NEB., 06/18/06) John Nicholson, Scott Carlson, Jody Krug, and Tom Myers all picked up "A" feature wins on Fathers Day at Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway.

The 25 lap Dodge Super Latemodel "A" feature event saw pole sitter Jeff Tilley jump out to an early lead on lap one. Tilley would loose the top spot on lap three when Corey Zeitner would make the move on the outside for the lead. On lap six the race would see its only stoppage when the #8x of Ron Tex Jr. came to a stop in turn three. After that it was all Zeitner who took the double checkered flags. In post race inspection Zeitner's #26JR was found to be illegal. That gave the win to John Nicholson. Bryant Goldsmith was second, followed by Jeff Tilley, Ed Kosiski, and Scott Koskovich. With Ed Kosiski finishing in the fourth position and points leader Joe Kosiski finishing 12th, Ed Kosiski becomes the points leader for the first time in the 2006 season.

The 18 lap Home Pride Modified race had outside front row starter Scott Carlson lead every lap and pick up his first win of the season. Mike Johnson, Mike Lineberry, Brian Foote and Jeff James rounded out the top five.

Just like the Modifieds, outside front row starter Jody Krug jumped to an early lead in the Grand National divisions "A" main. Lap five would be a tough lap as three different yellows would come out. The first was for a single car spin by Kathy Cook. The second was for a major pile up involving Joey Bauer, Joe Feyen, Kortney Kosiski, Scott Krause-Mahan, Trevor Millikan, Dave Hanke, and Ron Tilley. The third yellow was for an accident that sent Gary Leapley and points leader Dave Doll to the rear. When racing resumed it was Krug in the lead with Brian Scott close behind. Krug would keep the lead for the remaining of the race to take his second win of the season. Scott finished second, Brad Soll third, Dave Cook brought home fourth, and Dave Livingston finished fifth.

The Stereo West Auto Toys Hobby Stocks would have Tom Myers take the win in the 15 lap event. Jesse Sobbing, who tried a late race pass for the lead, finished second. Josh True, Chad Bassinger, and Justin Leech rounded out the top five. Tom & Tiff’s Family Restaurant of Glenwood, Iowa stepped up to add $100 to the winner's purse, but since Tom Myers won the race he added this weeks money to next week. So next week the Hobby Stock winner will get an extra $200.
