Anderson Takes MLRA Shootout at I-80 Speedway

By Joey Sparano

(GREENWOOD NEB., 04/20/07) John Anderson would start from the pole and
win the 30 lap MLRA North/South Shootout at I-80 Speedway. Jason
Friesen and Dave Towne would also visit victory lane on a beautiful
Nebraska night.

John Anderson would wheel his #2J Shop Quik sponsored late model to
victory lane after leading the entire 30 lap feature. Terry Phillips
would pass his teammate, Jeremy Payne, in the closing laps to gain
second spot, while Jack Sullivan and Joe Kosiski rounded out the top
five.

The modified "A" feature would start with a horrific accident on lap
three. The #1s of Scott Carlson would get sideways on the front
stretch and the rest of the field would pile in. A ten plus car
accident would take place, with a couple of cars getting upside down.
The #07 of Mike Goldfus would get the worse end of the deal completely
destroying everything on his car. With all the wreckage, all drivers
were able to walk away without serious injury. When racing action got
back underway, it was Jason Friesen who stole the show. Friesen would
take the trophy and the $1000 winners purse.

Dave Towne would take the 15 lap Hobby Stock "A" feature. Towne would
start seventh, and work his way up through the field during the
caution filled event. Andy Gregg would beat Tom Myers for second with
Kevin Van Laningham and Max Harder rounding out the top five.
