RED CLOUD, NE (May 11)—Race fans at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE,
were treated to double features Friday night, May 11. The evening
started off with make-up features from the rainout on May 4, followed by
a complete race program.
Red Cloud's Lonnie Schriner took the lead from Larry Sutton on the
second lap of the IMCA Modified make-up feature and led the distance to
the checkers. Schriner was hounded by Johnny 'The Jet' Saathoff most of
the way but was able to hold him off to the finish. Jason Schoenberger
finished third, followed by Dan Nelson and Sutton.
Troy Attwood led the first 5 laps of the IMCA Stock Car make-up feature
before Guide Rock's Matt Streit took over the top spot. The red flag
came out on lap 12 of the 15-lap race when Josh Hudson of Kensington,
KS, got wide out of turn 2, got up against the fence and rolled his car
a couple of times. Hudson escaped unharmed but was finished for the
race. Streit led the field back to green and to the finish line. Cory
Struckhoff finished second, trailed by Jared Remus, Martin Newlin and
Terry Franz.
Hometown driver Jared Lewis led all 12 laps of the IMCA Hobby Stock
make-up feature. Joe McDole kept Lewis in sight the second half of the
race but had to settle for second. Jerry Hudson was third, followed by
Wade Wagenblast and Jim Buss.
Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe of Hastings led from green to checkered in the
Cruiser make-up feature, while the 4-cylinder Young Guns made their
debut with Josh Jacobitz of Nelson picking up the win.
After the heat races were complete, the regular features then took to
the track.
Troy Johnson took the lead at the start of the IMCA Modified feature and
pulled away from the field until he got high in turn 1 on lap 5 and
tangled with the guardrail. That put the 'Red Cloud Rocket' Lonnie
Schriner in the top spot on the restart. Schriner was able to lead the
remaining distance of the caution filled race for his second win of the
night. Jason Schoenberger exchanged the lead with Schriner a couple of
times the last half of the race, but Schoenberger's run came to an end
on lap 15 when he went to the pits while under caution when Johnny
Saathoff got caught up in the guardrail in turn 1. Jordan Grabouski then
challenged Schriner the final few laps but could not make the pass and
had to settle for the runner-up spot. Brian Calhoon, Tim Watts and Dan
Nelson rounded out the top five.
The IMCA Stock Car feature got off to a wild start when Tracy Holloway
of Osborne, KS, got wide out of turn 2 on lap two, tangled with the
fence and flipped his car a couple of times. Holloway was taken to the
local hospital for observation. Wayne Walker of Smith Center, KS, led
the field back to green and held off challenges by Brett Behrends, Josh
Hudson (who made repairs after rolling his car earlier in the evening)
and Lance Borgman to score his first ever feature win. Hudson would
finish second, followed by Behrends, Borgman, and Jason Smidt. Following
the race, Brent Drohman claimed the motor of Josh Hudson, who accepted
the claim.
Red Cloud's Joe McDole led the first 2 laps of the IMCA Hobby Stock
feature before Wade Wagenblast took over the top spot. However McDole
reclaimed the lead on lap 7 and beat Wagenblast to the checkers for the
win. Rocky Zimmerman placed third, followed by Jerry Hudson and Max Harder.
David Theer of Lawrence and Troy Himmelberg of Hastings took top honors
in the Cruiser feature, while Josh Jacobitz doubled up in the 4-cylinder
Young Gun class.
The Mod Lites & Dwarf Cars will join the regular five divisions this
Friday night, May 18. Racing begins at 8:00 p.m.
