Carlson and Schween Headline Cornhusker Natls. - Hobscheidt and Zeitner LM Winners

By Joey Sparano

(GREENWOOD NEB., 10/08/06) Scott Carlson, Justin Schween, Nate Christensen,
and Austin Kurtzer would all pick up feature wins as the first annual
Cornhusker Nationals came to a close at Nebraska Raceway Park. Jason
Hobscheidt and Al Zeitner would also visit victory lane during the make up
portion of the Cornhusker Classic as All State Insurance presented the
races.

The 20 lap B-Mod "A" main event would see Scott Carlson take the checkered
flags in his first start of the season. Carlson would take the lead a few
laps into the race and never look back as he would stretch his lead to 15
car lengths at one point. The race for second was closer as Daryl Weilage,
Kyle Harpster, Floyd Richards, Larry Robinson Sr., and Lacey Tuttle battled
for the position. Tuttle would loose hope for a good finish as she would go
into the spin cycle making the pass for second. Richards night would end
when he cut down a left rear tire. As Carlson took the checkers, he would be
followed by Weilage, Harpster, Robinson, and Mike Christiansen.

The 20 lap 305 Sprint car "A" feature had pole sitter Ray Seaman jump to an
early lead. Seaman would hold the top spot until the halfway point when the
#76J of Justin Schween made the pass. The lap ten pass would end up being
the final pass for the lead as Schween held on for the win. Seaman would
finish second. The 96.1 of Michael Oliver would finish third after spinning
out on the first lap. Mike Brown would take his #2Y to a fourth place
finishing spot after showing up late, just minutes before his heat race.
Fifth would go to Smokey Fairbank. Season points winner Trish Dover would
finish 8th after experiencing an engine problem during the night.

Nate Christensen would take the victory in the Single Cam Hornet "A" feature
event. The remaining top five finishers would be Joe Baker, Darrin Hoegren,
Thomas Liechti, and Bryan Hull.

The Dual Cam Hornet "A" main would see the #57 of Austin Kurtzer drive to
victory lane. Kurtzer would take a close victory over Kevin Stanzel, Lindsey
Yost, Joe McConnell, and Steve England.

The 25 lap Grand National "A" main event would see the #99 of Al Humphrey
jump to an early lead. Humphrey would maintain the lead during the early
stages of the race, but as the leaders caught up to lap traffic it was Jason
Hobsheidt who would get around Humphrey. Hobsheidt would pull away and go on
to win the caution free event. Humphrey finished second. Points Champion
Dave Doll finished third. NASCAR Busch Grand National and ARCA Re/Max Series
driver Josh Krug came home fourth. Billy Leighton Jr. finished fifth.

Al Zeitner would lead every lap of the IMCA/CNCTA Latemodel "A" main event.
Al Humphrey would once again bring his #99 home to a second place finish.
Eddie Moore would come home third. Sunday night Super Latemodel regulars
Barry Sorensen and Scott Koskovich rounded out the top five.

Complete results will be on the NRP website later this week.
