Three first time winners at Eagle Raceway

By Jason Orth

Eagle, Neb., (July 29, 2006) – Jay Russell notched his first ever Budweiser Championship Sprint victory at Eagle Raceway in his first full time campaign at the 1/3-mile oval. Jim Musel picked up his first win in the Stereo West Auto Toys Hobby Stocks while Neil Pella also won for the first time in the Tuner division. Chris Alcorn dominated the last half of the 20-lap Sobe NoFear IMCA Modified A feature Saturday night to win his second A feature in a row and his fourth in six races. Coupled with two second place runs in that six-race span, he took over the point lead from six-time Modified champ Mike Meyer.

It was a rough night for some drivers. Dean Chadd flipped hard down the front stretch wall in his sprint heat, taking out the flagstand. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the flagstand was brought back quickly. Harm Rogman crashed hard into turn one on the opening lap of the Tuner A feature, while Adrian Dover’s run for the first Tuner championship at Eagle suffered a setback as she was involved in an opening-lap crash ending her night.

Once racing got underway Neil Pella took the early lead in the 10-lap feature. Justin Busboom gave chase along with Kevin Kuker. Busboom took control of second coming out of turn two on the final lap and tried to take the win, but Pella held off the challenge for the victory.

Jim Musel took the lead early on the opening lap of the Hobby Stock A feature. With six laps remaining Mike Hansen and Don Hall Jr. made it a three-way battle for the lead. On the final lap Hansen tried to dive underneath Musel for the win but it wasn’t enough as he trailed by just a car length at the flag. Hall finished third with Rich Small coming home fourth.

Dusty Anderson and Lucas Robinson battled throughout the early stages of the 20-lap Modified feature, with Robinson taking the lead on lap 12. Meanwhile, Chris Alcorn charged from the eighth row to fourth place by that time and slipped underneath the top three to take the lead with seven laps remaining. From there, Alcorn hugged the bottom groove and left the field behind, winning by a straightaway over Robinson. Doug Deterding came home third ahead of Rik Gropp and Anderson.

Brad Krutz dominated most of the first half of the 25-lap Sprint A feature on a track that now was race-worn and dry. But Jay Russell began to challenge, running the still fast high groove and closed in on Krutz with eleven laps down. He took the lead coming out of turn four and just before Mark Pace spun in turn three to bring out the yellow flag.

Adam Gullion began to challenge for the win with bold moves, and ran down Russell as the field hit lapped traffic with two laps to go. Gullion tried to make the move low in turn one on the final lap, but was held up by the lapped car of Rob Lipker. The loss of momentum allowed Russell enough breathing room to take his first ever win at Eagle. Gullion finished second, with point leader Mike Boston strengthening his advantage with a third place finish.

Bernie Bryan won an old timer’s race against names from Eagle Raceway’s past. Driving the feature-winning tuner of Neil Pella he held off a last-lap dash to the finish from Ed Bowes to win the race. JJ Riggins finished third.

Spieker, Kosiski, and Berck Take Latemodel Wins at I-80

By Joey Sparano

(GREENWOOD NEB., 07/30/06) On a beautiful Nebraska night, a capacity crowd filled Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway for Carl Edwards / Clint Bowyer Night Presented by Jack Daniel's. However, three local names would steal the show as Chris Spieker won the first annual Race of Champions, Ed Kosiski took the checkers in the Dodge Super Latemodels, and Kyle Berck grabbed the Grand National feature win at the 4/10 of a mile dirt oval.

The first annual I-80 Speedway Race of Champions would have Alex Humphrey and Clint Bowyer lead the field to the green flag. Neither would lead the first lap as third place starter Brian Harris jumped to the early lead. Harris would lead the first five circuits until lap six when the #33z of Kyle Berck would motor his way to the point. Lap ten would see the only caution period of the race as Ed Kosiski came to a stop in turn two. After the restart, the event would turn into a two horse race between Berck and the 2004 I-80 Speedway Track Champion Chris Spieker. Spieker and Berck would race side by side for many laps until Spieker's #33 would finally get by to take the lead on lap 18. Berck wouldn't give up so easily as he would get back by Spieker with only four laps to go. Spieker would stay on the top of the track and pass Berck on the next lap, this time for good. Spieker would go on to take the win in the 25 lap event; followed by Berck, Kelly Boen, Jason Hobsheidt, and Joe Kosiski.

The 25 lap NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series "A" feature event saw Jerry Warner take the early race lead from his outside row two starting spot. Warner would stay out front with Bryant Goldsmith running second when the yellow flew for a spinning Alonzo Grosse. When the race got back under way it was still Warner out front, but Ed Kosiski would jump into second after restarting fifth. Kosiski would then pass Warner on lap 15. Ed Kosiski then drove his #9 Dodge to his first win of the season. Joe Kosiski finished second. Goldsmith and Warner were third and fourth. Kyle Berck would bring home fifth.

Bill Bader Jr. would grab the early lead in the 18 lap Home Pride Modified feature. Lap six would see outside front row starter Bob Zoubek get by Bader for the top spot. The big mover of the night was the #96j of Johnny "The Jet" Saathoff. "Jet" would pull into the second position on lap seven, he would then race Zoubek for the win. Saathoff would get along side of Zoubek's #5s, but he could not make the pass. Zoubek went on to win his first race of the season. Saathoff, Bill Hull, Mike Johnson, and Randy Foote rounded out the top five.

After winning the "B" Feature, Nextel Cup Rookie Clint Bowyer drove to a seventh place finish in his #79 modified.

The Grand National "A" main would see a six car accident on lap one, with Nextel Cup star Carl Edwards getting the worse end of the deal. When racing resumed it was Carl's little brother Kenny taking the lead in his #25. Kenny Edwards would jump to a straightaway lead until lap nine when Rookie Dwane Pospisil would spin. When the yellow flag came out, third position belonged to veteran Kyle Berck. Berck would pass both Edwards and second place runner Dave Cook on the restart, he would then drive on to victory. Points Leader Dave Livingston would finish second, followed by Kenny Edwards, Dave Doll, and Rick Stolley.

Just like in the Modified, Clint Bowyer would win the Grand National "B" feature. He would then race his #07 Jack Daniel's machine to a seventh place in the feature.

Jesse Sobbing would win the Stereo West Auto Toys Hobby Stock feature event after first and second place runners Chuck Madden Jr and Josh True tangled on the last lap. Sobbing picked up the $100 Tom & Tiff's Family Restaurant bonus. Tom Myers, Rick Munson, Jeremy Auten, and Bob Kracher rounded out the top five.

With this being the last week to get into the Chase for the Championship, the following drivers made the top ten in points.

Dodge Super Latemodels: Joe Kosiski, Ed Kosiski, Leon Zeitner, Al Zeitner, Bryant Goldsmith, Scott Koskovich, Billy Leighton Jr., Clint Benson, Jeff Tilley, and Mike Wallace.

Home Pride Modifieds: Brian Foote, Mike Johnson, Jerimiah Sillman, Justin Clark, Scott Carlson, Bill Bader Jr., Mike Meyer, Nick Carlson, J.C. Wyman, and Mike Lineberry.

Grand National: Dave Livingston, Dave Doll, Dave Cook, Harley Moen, Joey Bauer, Brian Scott, Brad Soll, Jody Krug, Ron Tilley, and Todd Hipnar.

FEYEN, NIXON, DOVER TAKE FEATURE WINS AT I-80;
HOBSCHEIDT MAKES IT 2 IN A ROW

Jim Brennan

(Greenwood, Ne., 7/29/06) The NASCAR Dodge Weekly Race at I-80 Speedway
had repeat winners in every class except the Pro-Hornets. Joe Feyen, Harry Nixon,
Trish Dover, Amanda Leonardo and Jason Hobscheidt were the repeat winners,
while Travis Meyer and Corey Askeland were first time feature winners in the Pro-Hornet Class.

The first feature on the track was the Certified Transmission Pro-am class, where
Feyen started on the pole and led all the way for his 2nd win of the year. But the exciting
part of the race was the battle for positions behind Feyen. Thad Thomson, Scotty Hartman, Rick Negrete and Shawn Bulin all battled for 2nd place. Hartman passed
Thomson on lap 7, but then on lap 10 Hartman lost it coming out of turn 2. Negrete
tapped him just enough to straighten him out so he would’nt spin. Thomson took
advantage and reclaimed second with Bulin closing fast to take third away from
Hartman and Negrete rounded out the top 5

The Tobacco Free Nebraska Pro-Hornets were up next. In the first feature Cory Askeland
Drove his best race of the season to take the win over Darin Hoegren and Joe McConnell.
In the second feature Travis Meyer grabbed the early lead from his outside front row
Start and was never challenged in leading wire to wire. Lindsey Yost drove an outstanding race to take second ahead of Brandon Wergin.

The B-Mod feature saw 14 cars take the green with Jim Fritz having an early battle with Jim Hendricks. Hendricks was in the lead after 1 lap. But Fritz took the lead on lap 3.
Lacey Tuttle moved into 2nd on lap 6, but could’nt catch Fritz. Meanwhile point leader
Harry Nixon was battling back from an early race incident that put him at the back of
the field. Nixon took 2nd from Tuttle on lap 9 and set his sights on Fritz, who is second in points. On the last lap Fritz spunout out of turn two and Nixon took advantage and picked
up his 6th win of the year. Tuttle, in probably her best race of the season, held on to finish
second ahead of Daryl Weilage and Larry Robinson Sr.

In the Trade Center Automotive/Trail Performance Coatings 305 Sprint feature co-point
leader Trish Dover jumped out front early from her outside front row start and sped to
a big lead before a car spinning in turn 2 brought out the yellow flag. But on the restart
Dover stayed out front in winning her third feature in four nights of racing. The other
half of the point leading duo, Matthew Stelzer finished 2nd ahead of Michael Oliver
and Steve Furst.

In the TFN Novice Hornet feature Amanda Leonardo led from wire to wire in picking
Up her second win of the year over point leader Nate Christensen.

The Dodge Crate Late Models started the night with excitement when Dave Livingston got the worst end of a 2 car wreck on the opening lap. He got sideways in turn one and and Kent Schimenti hit him and caused him to flip. Livingston was ok but his car was done for the night.
Veteran driver Ron Tilley jumped to the early lead and led the first 7 laps before a
yellow flag bunched everyone up behind him. It was during this race stoppage when the
third turn lights went out. When they came back on Jason “The Hooterville Hustler”
Hobscheidt made quick work in taking the lead and a close win over Bill Leighton Jr.
For Hobscheidt it was his third win of the year and his second straight. Leighton will
lead the top ten into the Race for the Chase. Kelly Boen drove Kortney Kosiski’s late
model and finished 12th behind Livingston, who borrowed Robbie Kosiski’s car.

NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series action continues next Saturday with the Crate
Late Models, Pro-ams, B-Mods, Pro-Hornets and Novice Hornets. Hot laps are
at 6:30 with the first green flag dropping at 7. It will Coca Cola Night and will

Red Cloud opens Thunder Series

By Mike Hughes

RED CLOUD, NE (July 28)—A large field of cars gathered at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, July 28, for the first of the 4-night ‘Thunder Series’.

Hometown driver Lonnie Schriner led from green to checkered in the 20-lap IMCA Modified main event to claim his second win of the year and the $1,000 winner’s check. Jon Thompson chased Schriner the entire distance, then was nipped at the finish line by Dusty Blake for the runner-up spot. Larry Sutton and Dustin Daniels rounded out the top five. Heat race winners were Thompson, Sutton, Brian Calhoon and Dwight Housh, while Daniels and Jordan Grabouski claimed the 2 B-mains.

Guide Rock’s Matt Streit finally found his way to victory lane in the IMCA Stock Car division. Streit took the lead at the drop of the green in the 20-lap feature and was able to hang on through 3 caution periods to claim his first win at the 3/8-mile oval this season. Eric Rempel won the race for second over Lance Borgman, Brett Behrends and Josh Hudson. Borgman, Cory Struckhoff and Jared Remus won the three heat races.

‘The Bussman’ Jim Buss continued his winning ways in the IMCA Hobby Stock class with his seventh feature win of the year. Wade Wagenblast led the first 9 laps in the 15-lap feature before the Hastings driver took command. However, after a caution flag on lap 12 for Jamie Reiman, Buss was docked one position on the restart for jumping the start on the previous green. But after the green came back out, Buss drove around Wagenblast to take a lead he would not relinquish. Mike Shriver finished in second, followed by Jerry Hudson, Delbert Selvage, and heat one winner Wagenblast. Rocky Zimmerman and Buss were victorious in the other two heat races.

Point leaders Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe of Hastings started outside pole of the Cruiser feature, jumped to the lead on the opening lap and drove away for their sixth win of the year. Ron & Kent Duffy made a late charge but settled for second, followed by Pat & Joe Hersh. Joe & Jacob Krone won the other heat race.

Racing returns to The Speed Bowl Friday night, August 4, with the regular four divisions in competition. Race time is 8:00 p.m.

Sympathies to the Ilg Family

Message Board - dirtdrivers.com: "Please keep the family of Duane Ilg in your thoughts and prayers this week. Duane drove the 11G ProAm at NRP and Eagle. Duane started his racing career in the Enduro class. He was a 'old school' type of racer who built his own cars, motors, trailers, etc. Duane passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. He was 54 years old. Services are tentatively scheduled for Wednesday."

Nygaard wins ASCS race at Eagle



EAGLE – North Dakota driver Wade Nygaard topped the field of American Sprint Car Series regional drivers on Saturday night at Eagle Raceway. It was his second win in as many nights after winning the previous night in Denison, Iowa.

The victory wasn't easy for the Fargo driver as his opportunity for the win didn't come until the final two circuits, in what was the first visit to Eagle Raceway for the ASCS series.

ASCS Northern Plains region point leader Chuck Swenson of Watertown, S.D., took the early lead of the 25-lap A feature from the pole position. Eagle Raceway regulars Adam Gullion and Ryan Roberts mounted challenges for the lead, but Swenson prevailed.

Eagle Raceway point leader Mike Boston moved into fourth place after starting in the seventh row and briefly made it a four-way fight for the lead. Nygaard stole second place from Roberts after a lap-14 restart. The yellow flew again as Tige Jensen spun in turn two with eight laps remaining. It took several laps for Nygaard to run down Swenson after the restart, but with six laps left he began to peek inside to challenge for the lead.

Swenson defended the bottom groove until the second to last lap when he took the high line to lap Jeff Lowery. Nygaard took the opening and grabbed the inside line before Swenson could make it past the lapped car and held on for the win. Swenson was second as Roberts and Boston followed. Gregg Bakker qualified from the B feature, started 16th and finished in fifth place.

Chris Alcorn won for the third time this year in the IMCA modified division, after passing Sean Burklund with three laps remaining. Rich Small won his fourth Hobby Stock A feature of the year after a race-long battle with R.J. Macku, while Barry Kinnersley won the Tuner division A feature for the second time this season.

ASCS 360's added to 410 Non-Wing show at I-80

Message Board - dirtdrivers.com: "ASCS MIDWEST REGION ADDED to HUSKERLAND NON-WING 410 SPRINT CAR NATIONALS EVENT

Greenwood, NE (July 20, 2005) – An explosive night of sprint car action is on tap when the 410 O’Reilly Sprint Bandits Tour N’ Topless Sprint Cars and the ASCS Midwest Region 360 Sprint Cars invade the 4/10ths mile oval at I-80 Speedway at Nebraska Raceway Park Tuesday night, August 15th. This is the first time ever that the two groups will appear together on the same night and offers sprint car fans a double dose of wingless and winged sprint car racing.

“We’re pleased to be able to put this together for our fans and the drivers” said Promoter and General Manager Tom Gutowski. “Last year’s Sprint Bandit race really had the fans excited and adding the ASCS Midwest Region 360 sprints will make a great event even better. We’ve already heard that some drivers are planning to run in both classes” he added.

Also running that night will be the Trail Performance / Trade Center Automotive 305 winged sprint cars and the Tobacco FREE Nebraska Pro Hornets in a non-point event for their class plus trailer races.

“Our 305 sprint car class is just getting off the ground but has already helped young rising stars like Jack Dover step up to the 360 sprints and be successful” Gutowski said. “The Pro Hornets 4 cylinder cars have really blossomed into an exciting class to watch and the racing has been close” Gutowski added.

The pit gates will open at 4:30pm and the grandstand gate opens at 5:30pm. Hot laps are set to begin at 6:45pm with racing at 7:30pm. Adult grandstand admission is $20.00, students age 11 thru 17 and seniors age 62 and over will be $15.00 and kids 10 and under will be admitted FREE. Pit passes will be $25.00.

Shryock Gets USMTS Win #20 at Eagle

EAGLE, Neb. -- Despite thermostats peaking at a near-record 108 degrees Wednesday in Eagle, Neb., race fans opted to fight fire with fire as a large crowd was on hand to witness a full field of cars and sizzling on-track action as the O’Reilly Auto Parts United States Modified Touring Series visited the Eagle Raceway for Modified Madness presented by O’Reilly Auto Parts. From the drop of the green flag to start the first heat race to the waving of the checkered flag at the end of the night, a talented mix of touring regulars and local drivers made for a thrilling show on the high-banked 1/3-mile oval.

The start of the 40-lap Holley "A" Main saw a pair of Cornhusker State racers on the front row. Polesitter Clint Homan of Bellevue jumped out front to lead the first lap before outside front row starter Jason Friesen of Sutton powered around the high side of the track to lead lap 2. One lap later, Jason Hughes of Colcord, Okla., used the low side of the racetrack to become the third different leader in the first three laps.

The first of three cautions came out on the third lap as O’Reilly USMTS mainstays Jon Tesch of Watertown, S.D., and Tommy Myer of Blooming Prairie, Minn., made contact and resulted in Tesch spinning out in turn 1. Because of the contact, Myer was forced to join Tesch at the rear of the 25-car field for the impending restart.

Hughes continued to pace the next nine laps as drivers throughout the field jockeyed for position behind him, running two- and three-wide around the multi-groove racing surface. Behind Hughes, 13th-starting Kelly Shryock of Fertile, Iowa, and 14th-starting Brad McEwan of Storm Lake, Iowa, diced their way through the field to move into the second and third spots. McEwan, who won the second Real Racing Wheels "B" Main to advance to the main event, disposed of Shryock on lap 11, then scooted underneath Hughes in turn 2 to lead the 13th lap.

The caution flag waved again on lap 17 for debris on the track from the No. 1F Modified of Friesen, whose top-five run came to an end as he was instructed to tag the rear of the field for causing the yellow flag. Meanwhile, both Myer and Tesch had recovered from their earlier mishap and had moved back into the top 10.

On the restart, Shryock used the middle of the corners as he powered around McEwan to lead lap 18. With the seven-time defending O’Reilly USMTS national champ on the point, McEwan continued to show Shryock the nose of his car as Hughes, Ryan Ruter and Zack VanderBeek followed in close pursuit.

The leaders entered lapped traffic on lap 25 but a spin by a lapped car on lap 29 brought out the third caution of the race. In the melee surrounding the spin, Hughes also spun and his shot at victory ended. With 11 laps to go, the green flag was displayed again with Shryock continuing to keep McEwan at bay. VanderBeek, who had the UNIJIG Worst Redraw and started eighth, found the high side to liking and moved around McEwan to take over the second spot.

VanderBeek hounded Shryock over the next 10 laps, pulling alongside several times in the turns and going bumper to bumper in the straights, but was unable to find a way around the veteran. Shryock took the checkers ahead of VanderBeek with a car-length to spare and picked up his 20th victory of the season. The win was worth $2,000 and increased his season-long winnings to more than $50,000.

McEwan, who was reeling the leaders in over the last few laps, settled for third while Forest City, Iowa's Ruter quietly secured a fourth-place paycheck. Myer rebounded to take fifth place while Omaha's Jake Neal recorded a career-best sixth.

Eagle Raceway regular Chris Alcorn of Lincoln fared the best of the home turf defenders and finished seventh. Current track points leader Mike Meyer of Greenwood used a provisional to garner the 25th and final starting spot, but passed 10 cars en route to a 15th-place finish.

Up next, Huset's Speedway in Brandon, S.D., plays host to the O’Reilly USMTS speed merchants for the first time ever on Thursday for the season's final event in the tough Western Region. The action wraps up on Friday with the 5th Annual Gopher Summer Challenge at the Murray County Speedway in Slayton, Minn., and the final points race in the Reich Concrete/Yeager Machine Northeast Region.

ASCS Midwest & N. Plains Region this weekend

Message Board - dirtdrivers.com: "ASCS Midwest & Northern Plains Regions Square Off with Weekend Double

By Lonnie Wheatley

TULSA, Okla. (July 17, 2006) – The American Sprint Car Series Northern Plains and Midwest Regions are set for another pair of clashes in Iowa and Nebraska this Friday and Saturday night.

Friday night, the pair of Regions clash for the second time atop the semi-banked, ½-mile Crawford County Speedway dirt oval in Denison, IA. Then on Saturday night, it's the ASCS debut at the high-banked, 1/3-mile Eagle Raceway clay oval in Eagle, NE, just east of Lincoln.

The Midwest and Northern Plains Regions have clashed four times thus far in 2006, with Brian Brown topping events at Crawford County Speedway on June 16 and I-80 Speedway on April 8. Jason Johnson topped the June 15 challenge at Park Jefferson, with Jake Peters victorious in the most recent grudge match at I-80 Speedway on July 3.

South Dakota's Chuck Swenson has established a strong point lead in the Northern Plains championship points race, while 19-year-old Giltner, NE, racer Chad Humston has climbed atop a heated ASCS Midwest Region championship battle.

Humston currently holds a slim seven-point lead over 16-year-old hotshoe Jack Dover of Springfield, NE, with Sioux Falls, SD, ace Jake Peters just nine more points back in third. Lincoln's Toby Chapman is just 19 points out of the lead in fourth, with Lincoln's Jason Danley rounding out the current top five."

Kosiski Stays Undefeated In July at I-80 Speedway

By Joey Sparano


(GREENWOOD NEB., 07/15/06) Joe Kosiski stays perfect in the month of July by winning his fourth feature in as many tries Sunday. Scott Carlson, Harley Moen, and Tom Myers also were victorious on Kids Race Car Ride Night at the I-80 Speedway.

The 25 lap NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series Super Latemodel "A" feature saw Rookie Jerry Warner take the early lead on lap one. Warner would loose the lead just as fast on lap two as the "Mad Dog" Scott Koskovich made a power move going into turn one. Koskovich would be the dominate force until lap ten when he would slow and pull into the pits with overheating problems. Warner would retake the top spot. Lap 11 would see the only yellow of the race as Keith Mander Jr. went into the spin cycle. On the restart it was Warner with Jeff Tilley and Joe Kosiski on his bumper. The three ran nose to tail until lap 17 when Kosiski snuck by Tilley for second. On lap 18 Warner would slide high in turn four, that gave Kosiski the slightest opening and he took advantage of it. Kosiski would go on to lead the final six laps to win his seventh feature of the season. Warner and Tilley were second and third. Jason Hobsheidt and Leon Zeitner rounded off the top five.

Scott Carlson would take the lead on lap four from Bill Bader Jr. and go on to win the 18 lap Home Pride Modified feature. Points leader Brian Foote was second followed by Justin Clark, Bader Jr., and Jerimiah Sillman.

The 20 lap Grand National Latemodel "A" main seen Dave Cook hold the lead through two early race yellows from his pole position. On the lap two restart Cook would loose the top spot to Ron Tilley, but on lap five Cook would go by Tilley's #56t on the high side of the track. The car that was on the move was the #J1 of Harley Moen. After starting outside front row, Moen fell back through the field. Moen found home on the bottom and started charging through the field. Lap eight he was in third, lap nine second, and on lap 13 Moen finally took the lead. Dave Cook would stay in the gas and pass Moen back on lap 16, but Moen would come back on lap 17 and take the lead for good. The Minnesota native would take his first win of the season. Jason Hobsheidt took second after starting 18th. Cook, Dave Livingston, and Dave Doll were the remaining top five.

Tom Myers would jump to a ten car length lead on lap one of the Stereo West Auto Toys Hobby Stock "A" feature. Myers would stay out front until lap 14 when the yellow flew for Kenny Toliver-Humpal. Myers would have Jeremy Auten and Jesse Sobbing on his back bumper, but he was able to hold on for the win. Auten and Sobbing remained second and third, while Justin Leach and Josh True were fourth and fifth. Since Tom Myers won his own Tom and Tiff's Family Restaurant Bonus, next weeks winner will get an extra $200.

Leighton Jr. Wins Latemodel Feature at I-80

By Joey Sparano


(GREENWOOD NEB., 07/15/06) NASCAR Division IV frontrunner Billy Leighton Jr. would drive from the ninth starting position to win the Crate Latemodel "A" feature event. Scotty Hartman, Floyd Richards, Michael Oliver, Cory Hutchinson, and Amanda Leonardo would all visit the I-80 Speedway Winners Circle on Iowa Night presented by the Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil.

The 20 lap NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series Crate Latemodel main event would see inside row two starter Shawn Harker jump to an early lead on lap one. Harker would keep his #40 out front for the first half of the race, but it was easy to see that the fastest car on the track belonged to Billy Leighton Jr. Leighton, who started fifth row, worked his way up to the runner up spot by lap six; he then set sail for Harker. "Billy The Kid" would stick to the bottom and pass Harker twelve laps into the event. After that it was all Leighton who took the checkers in the caution free feature. Harker would finish second, followed by Dave Livingston, Ron Tex Jr., and Jody Krug.

Jeremy Longmeyer would jump out front in the 18 lap Certified Transmission Pro Am main event. Longmeyer would lead lap one, but his good luck would run out after that. After getting passed for the lead on lap two by Marty Steinbech, Longmeyer would loose the handle on his #56 in turn one. Last weeks winner Shawn Bulin would make contact with Longmeyer, causing damage to both cars. When racing resumed it was still Steinbech in the lead, with Larry Robinson Jr. on his tail. Robinson would get by Steinbach on lap five and go on to take the double checkered flags. In post race inspection it was found that the #48 was illegal, so Larry Jr. was disqualified. That would give the win to points leader Scotty Hartman. Steinbech would hold on for second. Rick Negrete would come home third. Joe Feyen and Jeff Bonney would round out the top five.

The B-Mods would have outside front row starter Floyd Richards lead 11 out of 12 laps to bring home his third victory of the season. Daryl Weilage, Larry Robinson Sr., Jim Fritz, and Lacey Tuttle would finish second through fifth respectively. Points leader Harry Nixion was not in attendance, so Jim Fritz becomes the new points leader.

Michael Oliver would win the 305 Sprint "A" feature event. Trish Dover, Matthew Stelzer, and Steve Hurst rounded out the top four.

Cory Hutchinson would grab the lead on lap three of the Tobacco Free Nebraska Pro Hornet "A" feature. Hutchinson would lead the rest of the way and take his third feature win of the season.

The Tobacco Free Nebraska Novice Hornets would have Andrew Cuva lead the first six laps. Cuva would give up the point going for the white flag as Amanda Leonardo drove by in her #96. Leonardo would then come around and take the checkers, her first win of the season.

Boston Wins Fifth Eagle Sprint Feature

By Jason Orth

Eagle, Neb., (July 15, 2006) – Mike Boston of Crete, NE won for the fifth time in the Budweiser Championship Sprint division, the first five-time winner in the class since Billy Alley did it in 2002. Rich Small notched win number three in the Stereo West Auto Toys Hobby Stocks. Tracy Harr took advantage of some yellow flags to grab his first victory in the Sobe No Fear IMCA Modifieds, and Dan Rhiley came out on top of the Stereo West Auto Toys Tuner A feature after Barry Kinnersley was penalized after taking the checkered flag.

Neil Pella took the early lead in the tuner main event. With five laps to go, Kinnersley made the move on a sideways Pella coming out of turn four to take the lead. However, point leader Adrian Dover charged forward and passed Kinnersley with two laps remaining. As the two raced alongside each other through turns one and two, Kinnersley hit the back of Dover’s car, sending her sideways and Kinnersley past. Though he took the checkered flag, officials penalized him heavily for the incident back to fifth. The win went to second place Dan Rhiley, with Doug Lyons the runner up, Dover third and Pella fourth.

All 24 entrants in the Hobby Stock field started the 15-lap A feature. A five car pileup on the front stretch ensued as the field came around for lap two, and the red flag flew. After a brief tense moment as safety crews looked at Ron Allen, the race restarted with a three-wide battle for the lead. Jerry Keaton, Jim Musel and Rich Small raced side by side until three of the top four tangled in turn four, with Small coming out of the melee in front. RJ Macku and point leader Justin Wulf pressured Small throughout most of the race, but in the closing laps, Small pulled away for the win. Macku, Wulf, Rob Brown, and Brian Cudly followed.

Tracy Harr passed leader Jesse Robinson in turn one with seven laps down to take the lead in the IMCA Modified A feature. Chris Alcorn, looking for win number three moved quickly from the tenth starting position to challenge Harr for the lead with nine laps to go. As the field entered lapped traffic, Alcorn took the lead twice, but yellow flags flew before he crossed the line each time, which gave the lead back to Harr. After Robert Brinkman spun with four laps to go, it was a shootout for the finish between, Harr, Alcorn and Mike Meyer. Harr kept the bottom groove locked down. Alcorn tried to make a move on the outside, but couldn’t get the momentum up. Coming out of turn four on the final lap, Meyer tried to take both of them on the outside, but he couldn’t do the deed. Harr took the win, Alcorn and Meyer followed. Doug Deterding was fourth, while Rik Gropp finished fifth.

An unprecedented 25 cars lined up for the Sprint A feature. Jay Jordan took the lead, while Rob Lipker and Toby Chapman gave chase. Josh Riggins got together with Bill Garrow and Riggins rolled in turn four, forcing the red flag. Jordan held point on the restart, but Mike Boston was closing in rapidly after starting twelfth. With eleven laps down, Boston passed Gullion on the backstretch for third place. The yellow flew again as Ryan Roberts looped the car in turn two. Boston took second from Chapman as they went into turn one on the restart, then passed Jordan for the lead going into turn three. The yellow flew one more time as Jack Dover came to a stop in turn four after spinning.

Boston led on the restart, but Adam Gullion made the pass on Chapman for second with three laps remaining and closed in on Boston. On the final lap, Gullion got into the marbles in turn one, and Boston pulled away. Gullion held on for second, with Chapman third, Stu Snyder fourth and Gene Ackland fifth.

Next Saturday is the ASCS Midwest vs N. Plains region race at Eagle Raceway. The Sprints will not be running for track points, as this is an ASCS sanctioned show. The Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Tuners will run a regular program.
