Eagle Raceway McDonald's Jr. Fan Club Night

By Greg Soukup

Junior Fan Club Night, sponsored by McDonalds saw a large crowd turn out at Eagle Raceway, America’s Home Track tonight. With intermittent drops of rain keeping the track very tacky all of the heats ran without incident. The Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds, the Budweiser Championship 360 Sprint Cars, the Valentino’s Pizza IMCA Hobby Stocks and the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compacts each finished 3 all of their heats cleanly.

At intermission there was a $1000 Kids Money Grab on the front stretch for those 13 and under. As the children scrambled for cash the rain began to become more and more persistent. After the track was cleared, most of the drivers voluntarily came back onto the track to attempt to save it so that the races could continue. After much effort by the racers the B Features were begun.

In the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compact B Feature Corey Madden jumped into 1st in his #2C with the 00 of Barry Kinnersley, the 18 of Maynard Kinnersley and Jason Tadlock in the 99 behind him. Tadlock passed Maynard Kinnersley with 4 laps to go, and after the leaders had passed the flag stand the 4U of James Snelling made hard contact with the wall coming out of turn #4. On the restart the running order was Lane, Barry Kinnersley, Tadlock and Maynard Kinnersley. With just 2 laps left Chris LaChappelle moved his #31 around Maynard Kinnersley to take over 4th place. At the checkered flag it was Lane, Barry Kinnersley, Tadlock, LaChapelle and Maynard Kinnersley transferring to the A Feature.

Next on the track was the Valentino’s Pizza IMCA Hobby Stock B Feature. Dany Lane took the lead in his #17J followed by the 86 of Justin Wulf, the 38C of Casey Moyer and the 21H of Shane Hiatt close on his rear bumper. On the 3rd lap Hiatt moved around Moyer, and on the following circuit he also passed Wulf for 2nd position. They held their positions to the checkers.

Then the Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds were called for the B Main. Shane Thone took the lead in his #1S with Jan Korth’s #42K in second, the 24X of Darren Hosick, the 3A of Aaron Pella and Ed Raines in the 11AA behind. With 7 laps left Pella moved all the way into the 3rd spot. On the next lap Nic Bonney’s #95B and the #52 of Sean Manning got together, bringing out the yellow flag. Both cars were forced to retire to the pits. Before the green flag could be displayed for the restart of the race the rains came again, eventually leading to the races being called for the night due to the impending threat of even heavier precipitation.

The Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compacts, the Valentino’s Pizza Hobby Stocks and the Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds will run their features next week. Due to next week’s program featuring the Bud Light Wingless Sprints, the Budweiser Championship 360 Sprints will run their features on August 18th.

Next week Z92 and Jack Daniels sponsor “Sizzlin’ August Nights” featuring the Bud Light Wingless 360 Sprints, the Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds, the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compacts and the Valentino’s Pizza IMCA Hobby Stocks.

Next week will also be Mike Cacak Night at Eagle Raceway. 50% of the profits from the racing will be donated to the “Mike Cacak Benefit Fund”. There will also be other events throughout the night of racing to raise additional money for the fund.

Thanks for supporting Eagle Raceway…America’s Home Track!

Roth and Stewart Win DODGE Duals At I-80 Speedway

By Joey Sparano

(GREENWOOD NEB., 07/29/07) As the Nebraska-Iowa Challenger Series came to an end, Travis Roth and Jay Stewart would pick up the twin 25 lap DODGE Super Late Model feature events. Dave Cook, Marty Steinbech, and Jesse Sobbing would also visit victory lane as I-80 Speedway presented the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.

The first 25 lap Dodge Super Late Model feature event would see Bill Leighton Jr. jump ot to an early lead on lap one. Three yellow flags would halt the race on laps 2, 5, and 10; and doing so would bring an exciting finish. 19th place starter Travis Roth would run the bottom side of the speedway and pass Joe Kosiski, Al Humphrey, Clint Benson, and Leighton until taking the lead. Roth would enter and lap traffic and the #00 of Benson would start to reel him in. Benson would get close, but not close enough; Travis Roth would take his first "A" feature victory in his first start of the season at I-80 Speedway. Benson, Kosiski, Humphrey, and Leighton rounded out the top five.

Jason O'Brien and Jay Stewart would battle for the early lead in the second Dodge Super Late Model "A" feature. The race would come to a slow twice on lap six as Todd Bell and Dave Hanke would experience separate accidents. When the race got back underway, it was still O'Brien and Stewart battling for the lead, with Joe Kosiski, John Nicholson, and Leon Zeitner running in the top five. Trouble would strike Zeitner on lap 14 as a mechanical failure brought his car to a slow in turn four. Lap 16 would see another yellow as Bill Leighton Jr. came to a stop on the speedway, and on the restart Stewart would get around O'Brien. Jay Stewart would than go on and win the feature race. Jason Hobscheidt, Joe Kosiski, Al Humphrey, and Al Zeitner completed the top five. O'Brien would fall back and finish 9th.

With two third place finishes, Joe Kosiski wins the Nebraska-Iowa Challenger Series.

Dave Cook would come from the 5th starting position to win the 20 lap City Weekly Grand National Feature event. Dave Livingston and Dave Doll came home second and third. Todd Hipnar and Dwane Pospisil would round out the top five.

The 18 lap Certified Transmission Pro Am feature would see the #t72 of Thad Thomson jump to the lead in the opening laps. As the race moved on, Marty Steinbech and Shawn Bulin would move through way to the front entering the top and runner up positions. Lap 15 would see the final yellow of the race as the #55 of Ray Dessel spun in turn four. When the race got back underway it was still Steinbech who went on to take the feature win. Bulin finished second. Terry Cleveland would start last and finish third. Thomson was fourth and Tim Podraza was fifth.

An exciting three car battle for the lead highlighted the last lap of the 15 lap Hobby Stock feature. Jesse Sobbing, Tom Myers, and Josh True would race three wide on the final lap, and when it all came to an end it was Sobbing taking the checkers first. Josh True would edge Myers out by inches on a photo finish for second. Jimmy Nichols and Rick Munson rounded out the top five.

Speed Bowl: Murray, Hudson, Shriver win Thunder Series opener

By Mike Hughes
RED CLOUD, NE (July 27)-The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, hosted the first
night of
the 3-night 'Thunder Series' Friday evening, July 27.
In the IMCA Modified A-feature, David Murray Jr. of Oberlin led
all 20 laps to cash
in the $1,000 winner's check. A late race caution on lap 14 when Robby
Haines
slowed let the field catch up as Lonnie Schriner, Corey Lagroon, Jason
Schoenberger
and Brandon Blochlinger lined up behind Murray on the restart. Schriner
tried to
make the winning move with 2 laps to go, but Murray moved up and took
Schriner's
line away and held on for the win. Lagroon finished third, followed by
Schoenberger and Mark Zorn. Heat race winners were Tim Watts, Murray, Jordan
Grabouski, and Lagroon. Lance Borgman topped the B-feature.
Josh 'The Hammer' Hudson of Kensington, KS, led all 20 laps of the
IMCA Stock Car
feature for his third win of the year at the 3/8-mile oval. Hudson was
chased all
the way to the checkers by point leader Brett Behrends. Cory Struckhoff
finished
third, followed by Doug Adamy and Jason McCartney. Behrends and Wayne
Walker were
victorious in the two heat races.
The IMCA Hobby Stock feature turned into a rollover contest as 3
drivers rolled
their cars in separate incidents. No one was injured. The caution flag
also flew
numerous times but it did not keep Mike Shriver of Hastings from leading
all 16
laps to score his 4th win of the season. The top six cars were close
throughout
the race but Shriver was up to the task. Jim Buss finished second, with
Jared
Lewis, Joe McDole and B.J. Dauer rounding out the top five. Heat race
winners
included McDole, Lewis and Buss.
Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe of Hastings took the lead on lap 4 of the
10-lap Cruiser
feature from Brandon Naasz & Colton Claussen to drive on for their 7th win
of the
season at Red Cloud. Naasz & Claussen finished second, followed by Drew
Barry &
Ethan Vogler. Heat race winners Joe & Jim Carter finished fourth.
Heat race winner Matthew Ford of Juniata made his way to the
winner's circle in the
4-cylinder 'Young Gun' main event. Ford took the lead from Alex Loveless
on lap 4
of the 8-lap main for the win. Loveless finished second, followed by
Monte Benson.

The second and third night of the Thunder Series takes place at
Elmwood Park
Speedway in Norton, KS, Saturday and Sunday, July 28-29.

Drag strip proponent pulls his plans

By JEAN ORTIZ / Lincoln Journal Star Thursday, Jul 26, 2007 - 07:06:34 pm CDT

Motor sports entrepreneur Greg Sanford announced Thursday he will drop his plans to build a drag strip in northern Lancaster County.

In a statement issued through his attorney, Mark Hunzeker, Sanford laid blame on changes the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners approved recently.

The board approved an amendment to the county’s zoning code to allow for motor sports projects in certain areas of the county if they meet several conditions. Noise, hours of operation and proximity to specific land uses are among the restrictions. The recent adoption makes the successful operation of a motor sports facility in Lancaster County impossible, the statement reads.

“We’re just done with the game playing with Lancaster County,” Sanford said when reached by phone.

Followup: Injury prompts changes to Edwards' schedule

BY TODD HENRICHS / Lincoln Journal Star
Monday, Jul 23, 2007 - 01:54:11 pm CDT
Carl Edwards will race, as scheduled, in NASCAR Busch Series and Nextel Cup
Series events this weekend in Indianapolis.

But Edwards, who was injured Sunday during a promotional appearance at I-80
Speedway near Greenwood, has canceled all other events in what was to be a
busy week for the Columbia, Mo., driver.

Roush Fenway spokesperson LeAnne Howell said Monday that Edwards would not
be taking part in test sessions that were planned for Milwaukee on Monday
and Bristol on Tuesday.

Edwards has also cancelled a promotional appearance at a track in Pevely,
Mo., scheduled for Wednesday and has elected not to race in the USAC Silver
Crown Series race in Indianapolis on Thursday.

Roush Fenway officials plan to release more information on Edwards' injury
later Monday, Howell said. It's believed that the injury is a dislocated
thumb.

Edwards, who is currently fifth in the Nextel Cup standings and leads the
NASCAR Busch Series points, was involved in a multi-car accident early in
Sunday's super late model division A feature.

Edwards started 16th and had moved up five spots before the caution flag
waved on lap 4. On the restart, a car appeared to slow ahead of Edwards'
machine. Another car got into the backstretch wall, and Edwards was unable
to avoid it, setting off the incident that also involved Carl's brother,
Kenny.

As many as 11 of the 28 starters suffered damage in the crash. None of the
other drivers appeared to be injured.

Carl Edwards walked from his battered car on the backstretch to the infield
where he lay in his car's hauler, and was treated by track paramedics. He
emerged after several minutes with ice covering his hand.

He walked to the ambulance and later to another ambulance which transported
him to Alegent Health Lakeside Hospital, presumably to have X-rays.

Edwards walked into the emergency room still wearing his racing suit late
Sunday evening. He was treated and released early Monday morning, hospital
officials said.

Nextel Cup star treated for injuries after I-80 crash

BY TODD HENRICHS / Lincoln Journal Star
Monday, Jul 23, 2007 - 12:30:13 am CDT
GREENWOOD — What began as a fun night for the Edwards family at the local
dirt track turned frightening Sunday when NASCAR Nextel Cup star Carl
Edwards was involved in a multi-car accident during the A feature at I-80
Speedway.

Edwards, who raced at I-80 as part of a promotional visit, was taken by
ambulance to a west Omaha hospital, where he walked into the emergency room,
still wearing his racing suit late Sunday evening.

There was no immediate word on the nature of his injuries, but indications
were he suffered no broken bones in the incident.

Edwards started 16th in Sunday's Super Late Model feature event and had
moved up five spots before the caution flag waved. On the restart, a car
appeared to slow ahead of Edwards' machine. Another car got into the
backstretch wall, and Edwards was unable to avoid it, setting off the
incident that also involved Carl's brother Kenny.

As many as 11 of the 28 starters suffered damage in the crash. None of the
other drivers appeared to be injured.

Carl Edwards walked from his car on the backstretch to the infield where he
lay in his car's hauler, and was treated by track paramedics. He emerged
after several minutes with ice covering his left hand. Edwards walked to the
ambulance and later to another ambulance, which transported him to Alegent
Health Lakeside Hospital, presumably to have X-rays on his wrist and hand.

Edwards, who is currently fifth in the Nextel Cup standings and leads the
NASCAR Busch Series points, is next scheduled to race this weekend at
Indianapolis. He is scheduled to take part in a test today at Milwaukee.

Sunday's race, which coincided with an off-weekend for the Nextel Cup
circuit, featured his brother Kenny and father Carl Sr.

Hobscheidt Leads Wire To Wire To Take Crate Late Model Victory At I-80 Speedway

By: Joey Sparano

(GREENWOOD NEB., 07/21/07) Jason Hobscheidt would lead every lap of the
Great Clips Crate Late Model feature in route to his third feature
victory of the 2007 season. Terry Cleveland, Jared Hoefelman, Nick
Clifford, Dave Christensen, Steve Saunders, and Darrin Hoegren would
also make the trip to the winners circle as USG presented the NASCAR
Whelen All-American Series at I-80 Speedway.

The 25 lap Great Clips Crate Late Model "A" feature would see the #1 of
Jason Hobscheidt jump to an early lead on lap one. The only yellow of
the race would fly a few laps into the event as the #2d of Todd Morgan
made contact with the outside wall on the back chute. When the green
waved once more it was Hobscheidt still out front, but the #97d of Dave
Doll would make his way into the runner up position. Fifth place starter
Andrew Kosiski would make his way up to the third position and pass Doll
for second as the halfway mark approached. Hobscheidt would then make
his way through lap traffic on route to victory. Kosiski finished
second. Kenny Edwards would pass Dave Doll on the final lap for third.
Ron Tex Jr. came home fifth.

The 18 lap Ty's Outdoor Power Equipment "A" feature event would see
veteran drivers Shawn Bulin and Terry Cleveland battle for the victory
in the final laps. Cleveland would race the lower groove of the track as
Bulin used the higher groove. The final five laps would see close action
between the two racers, but as the checkered flag flew, it was Cleveland
taking the win. Bulin finished second, Thad Thomson would work from the
8th row to get third. Scotty Hartman and Andy Miller rounded out the top
five.

After three yellows in the first two laps, Jared Hoefelman would drive
from the sixth row to win the 15 lap Midas B-Mod feature event. Scott
Carlson would also come from the sixth row to finish second. Rising Star
Candidates Hank Dewild and Lacey Tuttle would finish third and fourth
respectively. Larry Robinson Sr. finished fifth.

Nick Clifford would come back from an early spin to win the 12 lap
Midwest Linings 305 Sprint Car feature. Clifford would make a last lap
pass on Trish Dover coming off of turn two to take the win. Dover, Matt
Stelzer, Dan Satriano, and Steve Hurst rounded out the five car field.

The 12 lap Stereo West Auto Toys Pro Hornet main event would see the
#74c of Dave Christensen take the feature win from his outside front row
starting position. Austin Kurtzer would finish second with Justin Soule
finishing third. Pete Fink Jr. and Steve Mcconnell rounded out the top five.

Steve Saunders would pass Amanda Leonardo to win the 8 lap Novice Crate
"A" feature event. Rob Kosiski would finish second, Leonardo third,
Scott Keffer and Lindsey Yost were fourth and fifth. Ryan Gladwin would
be running third on the final lap when he spun out in turns three and four.

The 8 lap Stereo West Auto Toys Novice Hornet feature event would see
the #19 of Darrin Hoegren take the feature win. Kennin Colestock, Scott
Rasmussen, Russell Johnson, and Bobby Weak rounded out the top five.

Boston, Alcorn, Jackson and Sells take the win at Eagle Raceway July 21st

Story by Greg Soukup

Hall of Fame Night at Eagle Raceway, presented by Heidelberg's Sports
Bar saw a large crowd, and plenty of action on the high-banked 1/3 mile
track. There was 3 and 4-wide racing in all the heats.

The American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) sprints invaded the track for the
first time in quite awhile; bringing 8 of their best and a couple of
Eagle alumni to do battle with the local 360 drivers. The local drivers
stood up well to the test; winning all 3 heat races, the ASCS Fast Dash
and the A Feature.

After all of the heats were run in the 4 classes, the ASCS Fast Dash was
first up in the main events. In the Dash which would determine the
starting line-up for the A Feature Mike Boston jumped to the early lead
in his #51, followed by a pair of ASCS regulars with the 4J of Lee Grosz
in 2nd and the 5X of Dave Glennon close behind in the third spot. That
was the finishing order.

Next on the track was the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compact B
Feature. Leading the early going was the #18 of Maynard Kinnersley with
the 18R of Ron Frank in 2nd, the 24 of Mike Rice in 3rd and Jason
Tadlock's #99 in 4th. The running order stayed the same until 3 laps to
go, despite fierce competition farther back in the running order. At
that time Neil Pella drove his 3N around Tadlock to move Tadlock to 5th.
On the very last lap Pella went very high, allowing both Tadlock and the
#31 of Chris LaChappelle to pass him.

The ASCS sprint B Feature was led by the #5 of Eric Lutz, with Toby
Chapman's 84 in 2nd, Jay Jordan's #19J in 3rd and the 21 of ASCS driver
Brent Vonk in 4th. They stayed there until with just 5 laps to go Vonk
hit the wall hard in turn 1 collecting the 3R of Cory Rawstern. Just
prior to the red flag flying, Lutz blew his engine going down the
backstretch. That changed the running order with Chapman in the lead
followed by Jordan, the 24B of Frank Galusha and the 96KX of Adam
Gullion. Galusha and Gullion waged a ferocious battle to the checkers
with Galusha holding on to 3rd, barely finishing ahead of the 96KX.

In the Stereo West Auto Toys A Main event Jeremy Noonan moved out front
in his #33, with the 28 of Richard Meyers and the 21 of Jake Sells right
behind. On the 3rd circuit Jack Prall IV hit the turn 1 wall very hard
in his #45, then slid back across the track right in front of Amanda
Rhiley's 51. Rhiley then struck Prall IV, forcing both cars to retire
for the evening. On the restart Sells moved around Meyers, as did Kyle
Schamp in the #2K. On lap 5 Jack Prall III in his #44 racer moved up
into the #4 spot. With just 8 laps left Sells moved around Noonan for
the lead, with Schamp following him into second position on the very
next lap. Prall III moved around Schamp for a short time before getting
out of shape and falling back. With just 6 laps remaining Dan Rhiley's
steering wheel came loose, causing him to run head-on into the wall
coming out of turn 4. That made the running order Sells, Schamp, Noonan
and Prall III. On the restart Schamp got around Sells to grab the point,
but Noonan slipped coming out of turn 4 and Rhiley made contact spinning
him out. Noonan was forced to go to the pits and Rhiley was moved to the
rear of the field for rough driving. On the restart Sells retook his
place at the front of the field and held on for the victory with Schamp
in 2nd, the #62 of Justin Busboom in 3rd and the 18R of Ron Frank in 4th.

Jake Sells is in his first year ever racing, and tonight gave him both
his very first heat race win and first ever A Feature victory. "I want
to thank my family and crew for all their help" Sells said. "My 10 week
old daughter Molly is in the hospital, and I really almost didn't come
out; but my wife said it was okay and I'm glad I did. I want to dedicate
this win to Molly," he added. "I need to thank my 2 other children
Nicolas and Sydney for rooting for me all year" he finished. Sells'
sponsors are Kinnersley Grading and General Siding.

Next on the lineup was the Valentino's Pizza IMCA Hobby Stock Feature.
Dan Jackson took the lead in his #98, followed by the #93 of Thorn Marsh
and Don Hall Jr. in the 92. On just the 2nd lap Nick Beckman in the 22
shot around Hall Jr. and Marsh for 2nd and Casey Moyer advanced his 38C
to 3rd on the very next lap. The next time around Beckman grabbed the
lead from Jackson only to be re-passed by both Jackson and Moyer the
next lap. Following Moyer into the 4th spot on the following lap was
Rick Bradley's #28B. With 8 laps left Beckman got around Bradley and
moved under Moyer for 2nd. Shortly after Beckman got severely out of
shape and dove into and out of the infield. That made the running order
Jackson, Moyer, J.R. Macku in the 1R and Bradley. As the pack came down
to take the white flag Moyer got sideways coming out of turn #4 and was
struck and spun by Macku. Macku was moved back 4 spots for the contact.
At the checkers it was Jackson, Bradley, the 3K of Jerry Keaton and Rick
Munson in the M70.

Dan said that this was his 5th year of racing full-time, but his first
feature win. "I want to thank my wife and kids. After a heck of a year,
including almost totaling the car the very first night we got it back
together and finally made it hook up" he stated. "I also want to thank
the fans, because without them we couldn't do this," he added. Dan
finished the interview by saying "The track was really good for us
tonight, with the top side really grabbing ahold in the feature". Dan's
sponsors include 92 Motorsports, Richard's Machine, Andersen Overhead
Doors, Arbonne International, Bob Payne Lawn Service & Landscaping,
Extreme Motorsports Race Signs and Allied Tire & Oil Supply.

Between the feature events some of the "older" drivers returned to the
track in IMCA Sport Compacts for a 5-lap feature race of their own. Ed
Bowes managed to hold off Bernie Bryan and Regan Kitchen to take home
his first win in a few years. All 5 drivers who participated were
familiar names to all of those who attended Eagle Raceway and Midwest
Speedway "back in the day".

The Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds then came out for their main
event. Jerry Trejo held on from the pole for the lead in his 4t, with
the 12X of George Haney in 2nd and Dan Wayman's 5ST in third. By the 2nd
lap defending track champion and current points leader Chris Alcorn had
advanced all the way to 4th. On the same lap Haney and Wayman both
passed Trejo for 1st and 2nd positions. After the leaders passed the
flag stand Nic Bonney struck the turn 4 wall hard, brining out the
caution flag. After the restart Alcorn moved into 3rd place around Trejo
on the backstretch and then into 2nd on the following lap around Wayman.
From there to the finish Alcorn battled fiercely with Haney. Doug
Deterding got around to move into the 4th spot with 8 laps left. Alcorn
tried every trick in the book, and finally succeeded in passing Haney
with just 3 laps remaining. At the finish it was Alcorn, Haney, Wayman
and Deterding.

Chris began his interview by saying "The track was great tonight; the
top, middle and bottom…you could race anywhere. I've been telling
everyone that if Roger and his crew keep improving the racing surface
the way that they have been the other cars will start coming back. It's
fine to have it tacky once in awhile, but a slick track slows everybody
down and makes a better race for the fans. I probably slit my own throat
by saying that, because it makes it hard to move up from the back.
Luckily racing 2 or 3 times a week like I do keeps you sharp". "George
Haney is a great driver and racer. I didn't think there was any way I
could get past him, and if things hadn't happened exactly the way that
they did I probably wouldn't have won" he finished.

Last came the Main Event of the evening, the ASCS A Feature. Mike
Boston's early lead in the #51 was short-lived as Lee Grosz spun in
turns 1 & 2, coming to a rest facing the field as they maneuvered safely
around him. That moved the #17 of Gage Dorr to the outside of row #1 and
the 5X of Dave Glennon inside of row #2. On the restart Boston's lead
was again negated when Glennon lost power and slowed to a stop. The
resulting back-up of cars caused the 19J of Jay Jordan and another car
to get together. Despite numerous trips to the pits and back to the
track Glennon's engine woes forced him to retire eventually. After yet
another restart Boston took the lead again with the #23 of Terry
Holliman in 2nd, the 71 of Tige Jensen in 3rd and the 35 of Trevor
Grossenbacher in 4th place. On the 2nd circuit Lee Grosz moved around
Grossenbacher for 4th and then around Jensen for 3rd on the 3rd lap. He
then got around Holliman for 2nd as Holliman began to drop back through
the field. Boston began moving away from the field to nearly a ½ track
lead, but just as he was beginning to have to work his way through
lapped traffic a caution flew when Ken Klabunde flipped his #28 sprinter
after hard contact with the turn 1 wall. At that time the order was
Boston, Jeff Lowery in the #45, Jensen and the 76 of Jay Russell. On the
15th lap Russell got around Jensen for 3rd and with 7 laps remaining
Chuck Swenson moved into the 4th spot around Jensen. With just 4 laps
left Grosz dropped back to the 5th position. At the checkers it was
Boston, Jeff Lowery, Russell and Swenson being the top ASCS regular in
fourth.

"This was a good run for us. It made up a little for last week when we
got taken out of the race when our front end collapsed while trying to
get to our trailer to make repairs. I just hope we can keep going good
like this" Boston said. "I'm really not worried about losing the points
lead. We're here to win races, and the points will take care of
themselves" he added. Mike's sponsors include Lincoln Drywall Service,
Eckley Racing Engines, Vision Sports, Trade Center Automotive, Bob Payne
Lawn Service & Landscaping, Crete Auto Service and One Eyed Dog Saloon.

Next week be sure to attend McDonalds Junior Fan Club Night.

Kid's Night at Eagle Raceway Aug. 18 - "Kamp out" afterwards

On August 18, The Bryan Race team along with Eagle Raceway will host Kid's Night in conjunction with the final "Fan Appreciation Night" for 2007.

As part of Kid's Night, children are invited to bring their tents, sleeping bags, and lawn chairs, for a "Kamp Out" in the infield after the evening's races. As part of the Kamp Out, a movie will be shown on the Eagle Vision screen.

In addition to the Kamp Out, several kids' bikes will be given away throughout the race program. The cost of each bike is $40 and donations are being accepted.

New Poll

The new poll asks a simple question: Do you spend more money at the race track for beer/concessions/souvenirs when you have discounted admission?

Some say that if fans spend less money at the front gate, they spend it on other things while at the track. Others say they keep the money in their pocket.

What do you think?

Eagle Raceway 7/17 - Big wins from Shryock and Hiatt

Shryock and Hiatt Win Mod Madness at Eagle Raceway

Story by Greg Soukup

Although the temperatures in the afternoon approached 100 degrees, it still was cooler than the last time that the United States Modified Touring Series was at Eagle Raceway, America’s Home Track. Also, despite the heat and winds the track was still tacky at the end of the evening.

By the time the sun was setting, and the Feature races began the temperatures were almost mild.

The USMTS Modified B Feature saw the #33z of Zack Vanderbeek take the early lead, followed by Tommy Weder Jr. in the 02, the 12 of Johnny Bone Jr. That was the finishing order as the top 3 held their positions.

In the Valentino’s Pizza Hobby Stock A Feature Kyle Vanover jumped into first, followed by the #32 of Trevor Kropp and the 14 of Ron Novak. Unfortunately, the yellow flag flew, resulting in a complete restart. The caution flag flew again on the restart when a piece of debris was noted in turn 2. Again, a complete restart was called. When the green flag flew Vanover again took the lead with Kropp, Novak and the 21H of Shane Hiatt. On the third lap Hiatt and the 01 of Kent Husted both passed Novak to take over 3rd and 4th. However, on the following lap the 01 was forced to the pits with engine troubles. On the restart the running order was Vanover, Kropp, Hiatt and the 3K of Jerry Keaton. With 6 laps left the yellow flag was displayed once more, forcing yet another restart. On the restart Hiatt moved around Kropp to grab the 2nd spot. As the flagman signaled 2 laps to go Vanover retired with engine problems. This moved Hiatt to the lead, and he held the top spot at the completion of the race. At the checkered flag it was Hiatt, Kropp, Keaton and the 11X of Rich Small.

Shane had started on the inside of the 3rd row, and moved quickly to the front. “The track maybe wasn’t the best in the heats, but by the time the A Feature came around it was really fast and tacky, just the way I like it. In fact, I’d say that was the best track we’ve had all year” Shane said. “With 3 laps to go I really didn’t think I could get into the lead, and then when it happened I was more worried about all of the fast cars coming up behind me” he added. “I’m really glad we won, because we’ve had a really tough couple of weeks. Without my crew we wouldn’t even be here tonight. We worked all day Sunday and all day Monday just to make it here tonight. I want to thank Mom and Dad, Shawn, Nathan, Kloke, Harms, Scott Bivens and Bill’s Machine. Also my cousin Adam, his wife and son for being here every week” he finished.

Shane’s sponsors include Scribb’s House Moving, Spark Electric, Hildy Construction, Kneaded Pampering, KlubLisa, Sonora Carriage Company, Slick Graphix, Don’s Bar, Woolsey Electric, Seward Electronics, Benes Service, Hlavac Farms and Just One More Bar & Grill.


The final race of the evening was the USMTS A Main event. Current points leader Kelly Shryock pulled the #1 frisbee, putting him on the pole. After the traditional 4-wide salute to the fans, with each driver flying an American flag it was time to decide a winner.

Shryock took advantage of his pole position to take the lead in his #3. He was followed closely by the 1F of Jason Friesen, the 14J of Jake Neal and the 7K of Jason Krohn. On lap #3 Tommy Wedner Jr. suffered a flat tire and spun in turn 4. On the lap following the restart the 18S of Jason Bohmont suffered severe front-end damage and was forced to retire to the pits. The running order after the green flag flew again was Shryock, Friesen, Krohn and the #25 of Scott Green. Al Hejna moved his #7 into 4th place with only 6 laps down. 2 laps later Neal again took over 4th from Green. A yellow flag flew on the 11th lap when the 3A of Chris Alcorn and the #95 of Dylan Smith tangled in turn 1. At the green flag it was Shryock, Friesen, Krohn and Green; however just 2 laps later Friesen stopped in turn 2 with an expired motor. Again Shryock held off Hejna, Krohn and Green. 5 laps later Alcorn moved around Green to take the 4th spot. Another 5 laps went by when Alcorn was spun in turns 1 & 2 by Green. The race then went the distance with Shryock winning, Krohn in 2nd, Hejna and Wedner.

Kelly is the defending and 8-time Champion of the USMTS, as well as the current points leader. “We got lucky with the track position tonight, drawing the pole position. We had a really good car and held everyone off” Kelly stated. “The track was a little rough in spots, but when you win you really can’t complain” he added. “It’s too bad more fans didn’t brave the heat, because they missed some really great racing tonight” he finished.

Kelly’s sponsors include Extreme Powder Coating, Aero Race Wheels, American Racer, Afco Racing shocks, Skyrocket Chassis, JR Motorsports, D.K. Arndt PC, Rent-A-Dent, Shryock Painting and Champion Race Oil.

Lancaster County Board approves regulations for motor sports

By the Lincoln Journal Star
Tuesday, Jul 17, 2007 - 02:33:16 pm CDT
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved changes that
would permit motor sports facilities in the county, while setting specific
regulations to address concerns like noise and location.

The board voted 4-1 to adopt the amendment to the county's zoning code,
though the vote came after several attempts to find some compromise among
the options before them.

Commissioner Deb Schorr voted against the measure.

Schorr jumped out front with her concerns about sound restrictions being
possibly too restrictive after the board closed out testimony and began to
consider possible action. She said she believed strongly there is somewhere
in the county that can accommodate motor sports events.

"If our sound restrictions are going to be the reason it can't be built,
then I can't support it," she said of the changes.

The regulations will allow race tracks, drag strips or any other motor
sports facility by special permit in the AG zoning district of the county
and limit the hours of a site's operation between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. The
regulations also will prohibit the development of a motor sports project
within a half mile of cemeteries, hospitals, churches, residential areas,
acreage areas, schools, parks and open space.

The regulations include a provision that the County Board can amend any of
the conditions or impose additional conditions in the interest of public
health, safety, morals and general welfare.

The board is scheduled to hear a proposal for a quarter-mile drag strip at
its July 31 meeting. The changes adopted by the board Tuesday will apply to
that project.

Eagle Raceway 7-14-07 Results

By Greg Soukup

With the dog days of summer fast approaching, it was a very warm windy afternoon as Eagle Raceway, America’s Home Track kicked off “Crash Bash” sponsored by Z92.

As happened last week, there were only minor incidents in the heat races, as 3 heats were fought in each of the classes on one of the best tracks of the year.

When the sun set, it was time for the feature events of the evening.

In the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compact B Feature Jeremy Noonan grabbed the lead in his #33. The #62 of Justin Busboom, the #63 of Mike Simpson, the #31 of Chris LaChapelle and the 13J of Jared Deterding followed him. Despite several heated battles, that was the order at the finish line.

Next up was the Valentino’s Pizza IMCA Hobby Stocks A Feature. Tonight’s feature had extra meaning, thanks to a very generous $250 donation by NAPA Auto Stores, which was added to the winner’s purse.

Starting on the front row, Brad Schreiner jumped out in front in the #10. He was hotly pursued the #9 of Rex Schreiner, the #21 of Derick Noonan and the 10K of Lee Kracht. Brad’s lead was short-lived however, as Rex passed him for the lead and Noonan also passed him to take over 2nd. A couple of laps later Kracht moved past Noonan for the 2nd spot. Kracht wasn’t finished however, and took over the lead with just 6 laps down. Behind him, the running order was Rex Schreiner, Brad Schreiner and the 28B of Rick Bradley. The running order remained basically the same until with just 2 laps left Rex Schreiner suffered a flat tire and dropped backwards rapidly. At the checkered flag it was Kracht, Brad Schreiner Rick Bradley and the 3K of Jerry Keaton.
“I want to thank the fans for coming out every week and supporting Eagle Raceway. I want to give a special thanks to my wife for letting me do this, and put in all the hours working on the car. Also, my pit crew deserves a lot of credit; Lee and Brad are a great help” Kracht stated. “I need to thank my Mom and Dad, and also Preston Janzing; they’re the closest thing I have to sponsors, and they are the ones who make it possible to do this. A really big thanks to Jerry Keaton for letting me use his shop and tools; and for all the work he does on the car with me. Last of all, thanks to Jack Golder for all of his advice; he’s the greatest” Kracht added. “The track was really fast tonight. I just moved to the high line because everyone seemed to be running on the bottom. I guess I found it first and it worked for me. The high line took us to victory lane tonight” he finished.

The Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds then took to the track for their A Main event. Pat Donovan moved to the point in his 4D, followed by the 42K of Jan Korth, the 1Z of Norm Ziegenbein and the #3 of Defending track champion and current points leader Chris Alcorn who had advanced from his inside 6th row starting position. It took Alcorn only 3 laps to move around Ziegenbein, but a yellow flag put him back into 4th. On the restart Ziegenbein and Alcorn both moved up, with Ziegenbein in 2nd and Alcorn in third. The 12X of George Haney also advanced, taking over the 4th spot. With 5 laps down Donovan began dropping back through the pack quickly. This allowed Alcorn to take over the lead, followed by Korth, Ziegenbein and Haney. On the very next lap Doug Deterding moved his #13 into the 4th spot. Three more laps were in the books when Deterding got around Ziegenbein for 3rd, and the very next circuit saw him move around Korth for 2nd. As the laps began to wind down, Deterding set his sights on Alcorn; closing in on every lap. With 6 laps left Haney moved up to the 4th spot with Aaron Pella taking over 5th. Just as Deterding began to move around Alcorn in lapped traffic a yellow flag came out. On the restart Alcorn found the extra boost he needed to take home the victory. Deterding finished a close second, but couldn’t quite catch Alcorn in the waning laps.

“The track was pretty good tonight, I just wish it would have widened out a little more. We did have very few cautions tonight, because it seemed that everyone picked a line and stuck to it” Alcorn said. “When that last caution came out, and I saw Doug up beside me I figured I’d better step it up. I didn’t want to lead so many laps and then give it away right at the end” he added. “I need to thank all of my sponsors for giving me this great car” he finished. Chris’ sponsors include Dr. John’s, Heavy Equipment, Midwest Unlimited, The Alley Bar and Spanel Engines. Alcorn finished by saying “I hope Mike Cacak is doing better. I send all the best wishes to him, and I hope we can see him out here again yet this year. It’s just not the same without him”.

The final A Feature of the evening was the Budweiser Championship 360 Sprint cars. When the green flag flew there was a melee on the front stretch, bottling up numerous cars. Defending track champion and current points leader Mike Boston’s #51 suffered front-end damage, sending him to the pits. Unfortunately, his front end collapsed as he was heading to his trailer. He was unable to continue. On the restart there again was a fracas on the front stretch as the cars came to the flag stand at the end of the first lap. This time the 45 of Jeff Lowery and the #32 of Chris Roseland went to the pits. Roseland was able to make repairs and return to the track, but Lowery’s evening was over. On this restart Tadd Holliman jumped out to the lead, and by the time 5 laps were over he had a straightaway lead on 2nd place Gage Dorr in the #17. Behind Dorr it was the 2X of past track champion Rodney Droud and Tige Jensen in the #71. With 6 laps down Droud moved around Dorr into 2nd position, and 3 laps later Jensen also got around Dorr to garner 3rd. With 11 laps left Dorr spun in turn 1; this moved the14G of Gene Ackland into the 4th position. On the second lap after the restart Jensen lost part of the right side exhaust from his engine and was forced to go to the pits. This moved Ackland into 3rd with Jeff Griffis in the #3 in 4th. There were several more restarts, including one when John Klabunde rolled his #77 between turns 1 and 2 with 7 laps left. Each restart saw Holliman hold and even lengthen his lead, only to have it negated by a caution. With just 2 laps left Ackland was forced into the infield, but returned to the track. This moved Griffis up to the #4 spot. Although Droud made several attempts to catch Holliman, Tadd took the checkers in first.

Tadd Holliman is in his 10th year of driving sprints, all of them at Eagle Raceway; but this is only his 2nd A Feature win. His last victory was in 2002. Although he normally drives sprint cars, he also runs a midget every year at the Chili Bowl in Tulsa Oklahoma during the winter. “I want to thank Eldon Rhoten for putting these cars together for my father and I. It was especially great winning tonight because it meant I finished in front of my dad” Holliman said with a big grin. “The track was great tonight. I never lifted the whole way around the track. I need to thank my sponsors, Holliman Auto Supply, Pepsi and NAPA for allowing me to race out here” he added. “It’s really great to win at Eagle, because every week we have at least 20 really good cars and they’re all capable of winning any night,” he stated. “I need to thank my pit crew; Darren, Eldon, Dan and Bud. I also want to thank my wife for putting up with me and my racing habit,” he said. “The last thing I want to say is that this win is dedicated to Mike Cacak. We’re all thinking of you Mike, and hoping that you keep improving” he finished.

Next up at Eagle Raceway is a Tuesday night special event, “Modified Madness” featuring the USMTS Modifieds and the Valentino’s Pizza IMCA Hobby Stocks. Adult admission is $15, youths (6-13) are only $5 and 5 and under are free.

Then, next Saturday evening, July 21st is Heidelberg’s Sports Bar present “Hall of Fame Night”. On the track will be the ASCS Sprint Series, accompanied by the Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds, Valentino’s Pizza IMCA Hobby Stocks and the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compacts.
