NCRA Sprints Roll into Junction Motor Speedway

PARK CITY, Kan. – In addition to picnics and barbeque, Memorial Day weekend
at Junction Motor Speedway means action with the O'Reilly NCRA Sprint Car
Series, presented by ICM/Ethanol, as they make their first-ever appearance
May 25 on the McCool Junction oval.

Two different drivers have taken the NCRA's first two checkers of the
season. Lincoln's Don Droud Jr., driving for Ochs Racing out of Jetmore,
Kan., won the May 12 Steve King Memorial Race at Dodge City (Kan.) Raceway
Park, their last show.

It was Droud's first-ever NCRA victory, allowing him to move in front of
second-place finisher Chuck Swenson and take over the point lead by 10
markers. Swenson won the April 12 season opener at Nebraska Raceway Park,
with Droud in the runner-up spot.

Two-time defending series champion Garry Lee Maier, seeking his fourth title
overall, was ninth in the opener but collided with Lincoln's Mike Chadd on
the second lap of the Dodge City feature to end his evening early.

Rounding out the top 10 in points after two shows are Stu Snyder of Waverly
(3rd), Preston Peebles II (4th), Chadd (5th), Mike Peters (6th), Maier
(7th), Derek Drown (8th), Patrick Bourke (9th) and C.J. Johnson (10th).

Ten other Nebraska drivers have competed in at least one NCRA show this
season. Lincoln is also represented by Jason Danley, Toby Chapman, Mark Pace
and Mark Schmidt. Others from the Cornhusker State are Bobby Becker, Denton;
Mike Boston, Crete; Gage Dorr, Murdock; Jack Dover, Springfield; Ryan
Roberts, Avon; and Roger Sundquist, Holdrege.

This event is also co-sanctioned by the ASCS Midwest Region.
