Three first time winners at Red Cloud

By Mike Hughes

RED CLOUD, NE (June 29)—Three new faces graced victory lane at The Speed
Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, June 29. Two of those included
the father and son duo of Jerry and Josh Hudson of Kensington, who
pulled off the hat trick for the second time in a week, as both won last
Saturday night at RPM Speedway in Hays, KS.

Jerry took the lead on lap 2 of the IMCA Hobby Stock feature from Pat
Hersh and led to the only caution in the 14-lap race on lap 6 when
Andrew Lovegrove drove off turn 4. Hudson led the field back to green,
followed by Joe McDole, and heat race winners Kyle Bond and Jim Buss.
The top seven were close throughout the race but Hudson held on to win
his first feature of the year at Red Cloud. McDole finished a close
second, trailed by Bond, Buss, and Murray Haugan II.

Jason McCartney led the first half of the 18-lap IMCA Stock Car feature
before Josh Hudson made the pass for a lead he would not relinquish.
Hudson was first at the checkers, his first Speed Bowl win this year,
followed by Jason Smidt, McCartney, Jason Davis and heat two winner Matt
Streit. Jared Remus won the other heat race.

'The Red Cloud Rocket' Lonnie Schriner won his third IMCA Modified
feature at his hometown track. Heat one winner Tim Watts led the first 4
laps before Schriner took the top spot. Schriner led at the halfway mark
of the 20-lap race, while Brandon Blochlinger, Jordan Grabouski and
Watts were hooked up in a heated race for second. But both Watts and
Grabouski went to the pits during the event, ending their night.
Schriner took the win, followed by Blochlinger, Scott Smith, Larry
Sutton and Lonnie Veteto. Heat one winner Troy Johnson was sixth.

Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe won their fifth Cruiser feature of the year at
the 3/8-mile oval. Terry Gradig & Jeremy Teselle were second. David
Theer & Troy Himmelberg won the heat race.

Troy Porter of Harvard won his first 4-cylinder feature race. Joshua
Bodenus was second. Porter also won the heat race.

The regular five divisions return this Friday night, July 6. Racing

Brown is the McCool Man in ASCS Midwest Region

By Lonnie Wheatley

McCOOL JUNCTION, Neb. (June 29, 2007) – After opening the season with five different winners in as many events, the American Sprint Car Series Midwest Region had its first repeat winner of the year on Friday night as Missouri's Brian Brown raced to victory lane in the 25-lap feature at Junction Motor Speedway.

Brown, who won the season opener at I-80 Speedway on April 14, chased down race-long leader Jason Danley in lapped traffic and made a move into the lead on the 24th lap to snare his eighth career ASCS Midwest Region feature win aboard Tim and Gina Doogs' Ostrich-powered No. 21 Maxim.

"Jason (Danley) ran a great race tonight and he doesn't have anything to be ashamed of," Brown commented from victory lane. "He just got caught up with that lapped car and I got by. I'd like to thank Tim and Gina Doogs for giving me a great car tonight, they are like family to me!"

While Brown gridded the feature field fifth, it was polesitter Danley outgunning Jake Peters for the early lead. Danley needed just three laps to open up a straightaway lead over Peters and Toby Chapman, with Brown taking fourth from Chuck Swenson on the sixth lap.

With Danley working lapped traffic, Brown battled past Chapman for third on the eight lap then took second from Peters two laps later. The caution flew soon after, when Chapman made contact with a lapped car at the midway point and came to a stop with a broken shock.

Back under way, Danley once again pulled away, leaving Brown and Peters to battle for second. But as Danley encountered lapped traffic on the 19th circuit, Brown began to close the gap. Brown raced into the lead with a lap-and-a-half to go and cruised to the win.

Danley settled for second, with Peters taking the show position. Ryan Roberts crossed the stripe fourth, with Chuck Swenson rounding out the top five. Skip Jackson was sixth, with Ryan Anderson, Mike Chadd, Jack Dover and Don Droud, Jr., completing the top ten.

After transferring from "B" Main action, Natalie Sather retained a slim 13-point lead in ASCS Midwest Region points by advancing to eleventh in the main event.

Swenson, Rick Ideus and Danley topped heat race action, with Mike Boston winning the "B" Main.

Butler County USMTS dropped, new tracks added

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa (July 28) — The drivers and teams of the O'Reilly Auto
Parts United States Modified Touring Series are on a brief but well-deserved
break as the month of July nears, but officials are busy working behind the
scenes as they get ready for 28 National Events in 52 days that will wrap up
the most exciting O'Reilly USMTS season ever and crown the ninth O'Reilly
USMTS national champion.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, one track closing and in an effort to
balance the number of regional events with quality venues for drivers and
fans, a few changes have been made to the National Events schedule for late
July and early August.

Citing financial reasons, the promoter at the Butler County Motorplex in
Rising City, Neb., has canceled the inaugural event there scheduled for
Monday, July 16. Therefore, the next event for the O'Reilly USMTS will be
Tuesday, July 17, at the Eagle Raceway in Eagle, Neb., for a $2,000-to-win
Western Region showdown. Despite thermostats peaking at a near-record 108
degrees for this event last year, more than 1,500 race fans were on hand to
witness a full field of cars and sizzling on-track action at the historic
1/3-mile high-banked oval. With one of the largest weekly Modified car
counts in the nation, this year's Modified Madness presented by 94.1 FM is
sure to be another classic.

Originally slated for the West Liberty Raceway in West Liberty, Iowa,
officials have moved the event on Tuesday, July 31, to the Cresco Speedway
in Cresco, Iowa. NASCAR Nextel Cup Series stars Ken Schrader, Clint Bowyer
and Kenny Wallace will appear at this event, signing autographs for the fans
and strapping into their own Modifieds to take on The Best of the Best on
the Cresco clay. Previously a Central Region points race, this race will now
serve as the final points race in the Yeager Machine Northeast Region and
will award the first set of National drivers a spot in 'The Hunt' for the O'
Reilly USMTS National Championship.

The first week of August will see the other three regional champions crowned
prior to the start of the 'The Hunt' at the Thunderhill Speedway in Mayetta,
Kan., on Thursday, August 9 — a new date which was recently added to this
year's slate, bringing the total number of races in 'The Hunt' to 16.

"We've added this race at Mayetta for a number of reasons, not the least of
which is because it's a great track where we've had exciting finishes in the
past," explained O'Reilly USMTS president Todd Staley. "The Hunt did not
have a traditional Western Region track scheduled, so this gives us at least
one event in each of the four regions. This added event also fits well with
the travel schedule for teams before and after this event."

The final event for the Central Region will take place on Saturday, August
4, at the Pepsi Scotland County Speedway in Memphis, Mo. From there, the
rugged O'Reilly USMTS road warriors travel to the Humboldt Speedway in
Humboldt, Kan., for the final event in the Southern Region. The
recently-added date at Humboldt fills the date formerly reserved for the
Blackbird Bend Speedway in Onawa, Iowa, which closed its doors last week.
The Humboldt event brings the total number of Southern Region races to nine.

From there, drivers head north to the Beatrice Speedway in Beatrice, Neb.,
on Wednesday, August 8, for the final Western Region points race and the
last event before 'The Hunt' for the O'Reilly USMTS National Championship
begins on Thursday. Traveling teams expect a hard fought battle at Beatrice,
which boasts some of the stiffest local competition they'll see this season.

The 2007 season wraps up with 'The Hunt' for the O'Reilly USMTS National
Championship — 16 races in 32 days, culminating with the crowning of the
2007 O'Reilly USMTS national champion at the 9th Annual Featherlite Fall
Jamboree at the Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minn., Sept. 6-8.

Don Droud, Jr. 'runs' home

http://www.yorknewstimes.com/stories/062807/sports_dondroudjr.shtml

Multi-talented pro driver a former York Duke

By Steve Moseley
Managing Editor

YORK -- It won't be sibling rivalry as some had hoped, but tomorrow night
will still be a homecoming for professional race car driver Don Droud, Jr.,
of Lincoln.

Droud will drive a roaring 360 sprint car at Junction Motor Speedway in
Friday night's Moses Motor Company ASCS Midwest Sprints show at Junction
Motor Speedway.

The card includes the Outlaw Vintage Lites and the Good Old Time Racing
Association, both of which feature throwback machines from racing's
yesteryear, but it won't include another Droud, brother Rodney.

Droud, Jr., said he moved to York the summer of his fifth grade year and
through his graduation was a "proud York Duke." Immediately after graduation
he moved to Lincoln where he continued to scratch the racing bug that bit
him as a York High School junior. What has become an illustrious and wildly
varied racing career began in those prep school days when, "I was racing
stock cars at Midwest Speedway in Lincoln. Then I got into the 410 sprint
cars and then started running some midgets and some non-wing sprint cars"
including those sanctioned by USAC. "Lately I've been doing all that plus
running a late model at I-80 (Speedway at Greenwood) on Sunday nights."

How much of his life is taken up with racing?

"Most of it," he answered with a chuckle, then explained he has a drywall
repair business in Lincoln to fill in the non-racing season of his year.

He said the sprinter he'll be driving tomorrow night belongs to Doug
Lovegrove out of Waverly, "a racer who got hurt last year. I'm just filling
in for him until he gets better."

Droud is running the late model for Ed Kosiski, one of the three legendary
Kosiski brothers who race out of Omaha. They are involved as owners of I-80
Speedway, too.

Droud will run, usually at or near the front, in pretty much anything with a
steering wheel above and a gas pedal below. His favorite class of race cars?

"I like the midgets way better than the sprint cars," he acknowledged, "but
the sprint cars pay better." Midgets, he explained, are "a smaller sprint
car without a wing." They are powered by a four-cylinder motor.

Open wheelers in general and sprint cars specifically, he said, are unique
"for their speed and acceleration. The downforce with the wings (on winged
sprints) really plants the cars so they don't have a lot of wheel spin."

Droud said a properly set up sprint car can run wide open around a fast
track like that at JMS without the driver ever havingto lift the accelerator
except in traffic.

"We're probably running 120 or 130 miles and hour down the backstretch" in
360 sprints like the one he'll be driving Friday at McCool. "When the car is
right and on a good track you can run around there wide open for 25 laps."

What kind of car can accomplish such a feat? Fans, friends and those who are
just curious can get an up-close look at the machine and meet Droud Friday
afternoon at Moses Ford south of York. Steve Moses said all are invited to
come give the car a thorough once over and say hello to Droud ... whether to
catch up on old times with a former York resident or to get an autograph.

While his return to York is all business, Droud said it will certainly be
"good to see people I haven't seen in a while. I would really like people to
come over to the pits after the races from the grandstands. I'd like to see
people who knew me or that I knew in high school. It's just really good to
race close to home."

He likes Junction Motor Speedway more than just a little bit, too.

"It's one of the nicest facilities in the country," he said. "I've raced
anywhere from California to Florida and North Dakota as far east as Ohio ...
it's one of the nicest I've been to. It's like a Field of Dreams type
thing," to discover a first-class dirt racing complex among corn fields,
next to a town with a wonderfully rural name like McCool Junction. "It's
awesome, just awesome. And it's kind of cool that it's right there where I
grew up ... in my own back yard.

As for tomorrow's two-hour stop at Moses Ford, Droud said, "Tell everybody
to come on out. We'll have a little York Duke Pride thing going on there."

Local fans were anticipating with relish a matchup between the Droud
brothers, but not this time. Rodney hoped to run tomorrow at McCool, but was
done in by another obligation.
"We usually race together," said Don, adding with a mischievous laugh, "Even
he would have to admit I'm better looking. Faster, too."

He was only poking a little good natured sibling fun at brother Rodney, but
the fact is Don Jr., will take the green flag tomorrow night standing fifth
among the 62 drivers listed in the Midwest Division ASCS 360 point
standings.

Here's pics from the June 23 races at Eagle. I liked the one of Steve Shepard. It was shot at 1/30 of a second, yet the car stayed sharp. That was one of those shots you get once for every ten attempts.

Enjoy.

NCRA Late Model Speedweek Rolls into Junction Motor Speedway

PARK CITY, Kan. (June 21, 2007) – After just two events this season, the O'
Reilly NCRA Late Model Series, presented by ICM/Ethanol, will kick it up a
notch with a five-show Speedweek through the Fourth of July.

Their second stop will be Saturday June 30 at Junction Motor Speedway in
McCool Junction, a track that two-time defending series champion Kelly Boen
has done well at. The Henderson, Colo., driver has won the last five NCRA
events held at JMS over the past two years.

But Boen is still trying to shake off the affects of a scary crash in a
non-NCRA show April 28. He ran a strong second in the series' first event
this season, but another racing incident relegated him to a 21st-place
finish in the second show.

Delbert Smith, the 2001 series champion out of Wichita, Kan., won the
opener. He and Omaha's John Anderson are deadlocked for the top spot in the
standings.

Another former series champion, Kyle Berck, and Boen are close behind in
third and fourth, respectively. Berck, of Marquette, Neb., won the NCRA late
model crown in 2002. He is 30 points behind the leaders and holds a slim
five-point margin over Boen.

Nebraska drivers make up five of the remaining six positions in the top 10.
Corey Zeitner of Bellevue is fifth, Mike Wiarda of Aurora is sixth, Kearney'
s Bo Egge is seventh, Scott Daly of Elkhorn is eighth, and Omaha's Bill
Leighton is 10th. Only 95 points separate the top 12.

More than 30 drivers from the Cornhusker State have run with the series so
far this year. That list also includes 2006 NCRA Late Model Rookie of the
Year Steve Kempt from Shelton and Les Siebert of York.

ASCS Midwest Region Ladies Night at McCool Junction on Friday

Lonnie Wheatley, TULSA, Okla. (June 26, 2007) – It will be a Ladies Night of
sorts when the American Sprint Car Series Midwest Region takes to the
semi-banked, 3/8-mile Junction Motor Speedway dirt oval in McCool Junction,
NE, this Friday night.

After all, it is believed to be the first time in the 16-year history of the
American Sprint Car Series that a lady racer has sat atop the point charts,
as Natalie Sather of Fargo, ND, holds the current ASCS Midwest Region point
lead.

And Sather won't be the only talented lady racer in the field, as
19-year-old Trish Dover of Springfield, NE, makes the jump from the 305-ci
ranks to make her ASCS debut on Friday night.

The Young Lion Award winner with the ASCS National Tour in 2004, Sather
moved atop the ASCS Midwest Region championship points race by advancing
from 19th to sixth in the series most recent event at Rising City on June
15.

The 22-year-old backed it up the next night with a strong fourth-place run
in ASCS National Tour action at Crawford County Speedway in Denison, IA.

Sather enters Friday's card with a 25-point lead over defending ASCS
Northern Plains Region champion Chuck Swenson of Watertown, SD. And
currently 58 points off the lead pace is reigning ASCS Midwest Region
champion Toby Chapman of nearby Lincoln, NE.

The Lincoln duo of Jason Danley and Don Droud, Jr., round out the current
top five entering Friday's card at Junction Motor Speedway.

In four previous ASCS Midwest Region events contested at Junction Motor
Speedway, four different drivers have reached victory lane. Danley reached
victory lane in the first ASCS Midwest Region card at McCool Junction in
2005, with Jake Peters and Brian Brown splitting honors last year. Garry Lee
Maier took the most recent win on May 25.

Past winners Danley and Peters along with defending series champion Chapman
and a host of other contenders will try to play the role of spoiler on
Ladies Night at Junction Motor Speedway, while Sather tries to maintain the
series point lead and Dover makes her debut while competing against younger
brother Jack Dover, who was the series runner-up last year.

Friday's action at Junction Motor Speedway gets under way at 7:00 p.m.

Kosiski Is King Of I-80 Speedway's Race Of Champions

By: Joey Sparano

(GREENWOOD NEB., 06/24/07) With the best drivers in the midwest converging
on I-80 Speedway, 16 year old Andrew Kosiski would prove to have the best
luck on his side on his way to the 2nd Annual I-80 Speedway Race Of
Champions victory. Kenny Edwards, Chris Spieker, Rick Negrete, and Josh Sink
would all visit victory lane in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series weekly
program.

The 25 lap I-80 Speedway Race Of Champions feature event saw the #2x of
Andrew Kosiski jump to the early lead from his inside front row starting
position. Kosiski would lead until lap 9 when the #51 of Chad Simpson would
enter the spin cycle in turn four. When the green waved again it was Kosiski
out front, but the #1 of Jason Hobscheidt would be right in his tire tracks.
Hobscheidt would try a run at the lead, but Kosiski would pull away coming
off turn two. Kosiski would maintain the top spot until the final caution
period of the night when the #4k of Josh Krug spun on the front chute. After
the restart it was Hobscheidt that was on a mission. Hobscheidt's #1 would
find a better groove one lane lower than Kosiski, and with six laps to go
pull along side the #2x down the front straightaway. Kosiski would gather
the lead back in turns one and two, and go on to lead the final 5 laps on
his way to victory. Hobscheidt finished second, Kyle Berck third, Al
Humphrey fourth, and Chris Spieker came home fifth.

Missouri driver Kenny Edwards would jump out front from his front row
starting spot and lead the entire 25 lap Dodge Super Late Model "A" feature.
Edwards would be the dominant car early on in the feature, and show his
ability on the short run after surviving a green-white-checker finish. Jay
Stewart would finish 2nd after starting fifth. Mike Wallace would come third
after starting second. John Nicholson and Mike Collins rounded out the top
five.

The 20 lap City Weekly Grand National feature event saw the #92 of Jacob
Brown take the lead from the outside front row. The second year racer Brown
would have the race of his young career until lap 18 when the #56 of Chris
Spieker would use the high side to take the lead coming off turn four. The
2005 NASCAR Division II Champion Spieker would lead the remaining laps on
his way to victory. Brown finished second, Kyle Berck finished third after
starting 20th. Brad Soll and Shawn Harker finished off the top five.

Rick Negrete would use the inside lane of the track to come from the 16th
starting position to win the 18 lap Certified Transmission "A" feature.
Shawn Bulin finished second after being on Negrete's tail for the final few
laps. Marty Steinbach finished third after coming off his win Saturday night
in the Pro Stock division. Ray Dessel finished fourth and Doug Stevenson
came home fifth.

The 15 lap Hobby Stock feature event seen the #10 of Josh Sink drive from
the 9th starting position to win the race. Tom Myers finished second. Joe
Wollenhaupt finished third after starting on the pole. Chad Bassinger
finished fourth. Rick Munson came across the line fifth.

Humphrey Continues Crate Late Model Dominance At I-80 Speedway

By: Joey Sparano

(GREENWOOD NEB., 06/23/07) As the checkered flag flew to end the nights
racing, it was Al Humphrey who would take the victory in the Great Clips
Late Models making it two wins in a row and three on the season. Marty
Steinbach, Scott Carlson, Nick Clifford, Steve McConnell, Ryan Gladwin, and
Darrin Hoegran would also visit victory lane as Great Clips presented the
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.

The 25 lap Great Clips Crate Late Model "A" main event saw the #56 of Ron
Tilley jump to an early lead from his outside front row starting position.
With Tilley out front, it was obvious to see the fastest car in the field
was the #55 of Al Humphrey. Humphrey would make his way into the top three
spots within the first hand full of laps. Humphrey would challenge Tilley
for the lead with the #55 hugging the bottom and Tilley's #56 sticking to
the top. Humphrey would take the top spot around the halfway mark, with
Tilley close behind. Tilley would make a charge at Humphrey with five laps
to go, but Humphrey was able to hold him off on his way to victory. ARCA
driver Josh Krug would finish third in his first start of the year at I-80.
Jeff Tilley came home fourth in his first start as well, while Dave Doll
finished fifth.

Marty Steinbach would come from the 12th starting position to win the 18 lap
Ty's Outdoor Power Equipment Pro Stock feature event. Joe Feyen would
challenge Steinbach in the remaining few laps, but it was Steinbach who had
the preferred groove on his way to victory. Following Feyen was Doug
Stevenson, Shawn Bulin, and Chad Sanders.

Scott Carlson would take the victory in the 15 lap Midas B-Mod feature
event. Carlson would start his #1s in the 10th starting position and work
his way up to fifth in the first five laps. After a lap six restart, Carlson
would make the move of the race driving from fifth to second in one
straightaway. Carlson would then pass Lacey Tuttle for the lead on route to
victory. Mark Mcneal drove his #17h to second, followed by Roger Harpster,
Tuttle, and Larry Robinson Sr.

Nick Clifford would lead the first 10 laps of the 12 lap Midwest Linings 305
Sprint Car "A" feature. Clifford would be passed by the #9t of Mike
Masonbrink with two laps to go, and Masonbrink would take the win. As the
#9t crossed the scales it weighed light, giving the win to Clifford. Dan
Satriano, Steve Hurst and Michael Oliver rounded out the field.

The 12 lap Stereo West Auto Toys Pro Hornet feature event saw the most
exciting finish of the night. Steve McConnell would start outside front row
and take the lead early on in the event. Pete Fink Jr. would start third and
challenge McConnell on the inside. Fink and McConnell would battle side by
side until entering turn three on the final lap. Fink would drive deep into
the corner pushing high into McConnell's line. Steve's #33 M&M car would use
the cross over move to get under Fink's #13. Coming off turn four the two
leaders would split a lap car and all three would make contact. McConnell's
car would turn straight for the wall, but he would gather it up and take the
checkers first. Justin Soule would sneak by Fink at the line for second. Joe
Baker and Cory Askeland rounded out the field.

Ryan Gladwin would take the victory in the Novice Crate Late Model "A"
feature event. Lindsey Yost would put it all out on the line for the win on
the last corner, just to come home second. Amanda Leonardo finished third,
followed by Rob Kosiski and Scott Keffer.

The 8 lap Stereo West Auto Toys Novice Hornets would see Darrin Hoegren take
the lead on the final lap on his way to victory. Russell Johnson would come
home second, followed by Brett Smith, Alex Fink, and Sarah Preble.

I figured after a month, people had their opinions of the June wingless show. Whereas the greatest number of votes were for having it weekly, the overall enthusiasm seemed a little more tempered with 40% of the votes cast in the negative. The next wingless sprint show at Eagle is July 7.

Here’s the results:

What did you think of the wingless sprinters at Eagle?

Awesome! One Saturday a month? How 'bout every Saturday! - 33% (29 votes)

Fun! Nice change of pace each month, but don't get rid of the winged cars. - 24% (21 votes)

Eh, it was OK...but a winged show it ain't. - 24% (21 votes)

Griffis, Alcorn, Novak and Shepard Take The Checkered at Eagle Raceway

Story by Greg Soukup

The second full day of summer brought warm temperatures and a breeze to Eagle Raceway, America’s Home Track Saturday afternoon. But, as the evening progressed and the sun set the temperatures created a beautiful evening for racing. The action on the track was just as torrid as the afternoon sun had been.

Two minor incidents occurred before the Feature events even got started. Tige Jensen rolled his #71 sprinter between turns 1 and 2 in the first Budweiser Championship 360 Sprint heat race. Shortly after that in the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compact heat race #1, Jessica Tadlock spun in turn two and rolled her racer gently into the infield. Neither driver was hurt badly, but Jensen’s night was over.

In the 360 Sprint B Feature Kevin Danley rolled his #7X, crushing the top wing. He attempted to continue despite having his wing flattened above his racer, only to pull into the infield 2 laps later.

The Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compact A Feature saw Steve Shepard take the lead; with Brian Haller’s B32 and the 26 of Derrick Dreamer in 2nd and 3rd. Dreamer passed Haller with 13 laps remaining and then got around Shepard for the lead 3 laps later. On the same circuit, Maynard Kinnersley also got around Haller in his #18 for the third position. Another 3 laps were in the books when Shepard got back around Dreamer when Dreamer bobbled on the backstretch. With only 2 laps to go, Kinnersley moved into 2nd followed by the #44 of Jack Prall III, as Dreamer fell back to 5th. At the checkers it was Shepard, Kinnersley and Prall III.

Shepard, who has been racing for 16 years, began in the old Friday Night Flyer division. He actually had started out this year in a modified but, according to him “I just couldn’t afford to race it anymore, so I moved into a Sport Compact.” “I want to say thank you to my sponsors. They are EMS Inc., C & D Towing, Big Dan’s Auto Body, Hungry Eye Tattoo and Asa Triplette Hauling & Landscaping. I also want to thank the fans for supporting racing here at Eagle,” he added. He concluded his interview by saying “It was really a good fast track tonight. It great to win the feature, and I hope we can do it again”.

Next up was the Valentino’s Pizza IMCA Hobby Stock Feature. Ron Novak’s #14 broke out in front from his outside row 1 starting position. He was followed by the #9 of Rex Schreiner, the #22 of Nick Beckman and Don Hall Jr. in the #92. With 12 laps left, Hall Jr. and Beckman made contact, allowing the #86 of defending track champion Justin Wulf to take over the 3rd position with Hall Jr. being moved back 4 positions. 8 laps later the #12 of Dan Noonan rolled over in turn four, coming to rest on it’s top inside the berm. Noonan was unhurt. On the restart, the top 4 positions were Novak, Schreiner, Wulf and the M70 of Rick Munson. On the very last lap Wulf took over 2nd place with Munson following him into 3rd. The final results showed Novak taking home the top spot.

“I started outside the front row, and managed to hold them all off for a change” Novak said. “We needed some luck after the way things have gone the last few weeks. You can’t afford to get a flat tire, or break a rocker arm in the engine or anything else out here. The competition here at Eagle is just too fast to let that happen,” he stated. “I’m really happy to take home the winner’s purse tonight. That will let us run a couple of more weeks” he added. Novak is one of many drivers running at America’s Home Track who does it all out of his own pocket. He does all of the work on the car by himself, hauls it to the track, races it and as he put it “Fixes everything the driver breaks too”. “I want to thank my family for letting me race out here; and I want to also say that I became a grandpa again just 2 weeks ago. There’s nothing like grandchildren to make you happy” he finished.

The action was fast and furious in the Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modified main event also. As the pack went into turn #1, cars began sliding around bunching up the field behind them. When the melee was untangled the 5ST of Dan Wayman, Rik Gropp’s #45, the 11X of Steve Devitt and Chad Anderson’s 8c were stopped just before turn #1. After a complete restart Scott Anderson’s #19 led the field; followed by Norm Ziegenbein’s 1Z, Ron Dake in the 33Z and the 75J of Jesse Robinson. On the 3rd lap Ed Raines spun in turns 3 & 4, bringing out the yellow flag. Robinson had taken over 3rd position, but was forced back to 4th place. On the restart Ziegenbein moved around Anderson to take the lead and George Haney pulled around Robinson to garner 4th. Doug Deterding was the “man on the move” however; moving up to 3rd position after having come from the B Feature and starting in the next to last row. That same lap Deterding also got around Dake to advance another spot to 2nd. Also coming forward in a hurry was returning track champion Chris Alcorn. With just 8 laps down he had moved up to 4th position. He wasted no time taking over 3rd on the very next circuit. With 10 laps to go Chad Anderson spun in turns 3 & 4, bunching up the field. The running order at that time was Ziegenbein, Deterding, Alcorn and Scott Anderson. On the restart Alcorn jumped past both Deterding and Ziegenbein to grab the lead, with Deterding following him into 2nd place 2 laps later. After the races Ziegenbein stated that he had lost a cylinder, dropping him back into the pack. Alcorn was timed at anywhere from ½ to a full second faster than the rest of the field during the race. After getting the lead, he sailed to victory.

Alcorn, having started from the inside of the 6th row said “All of the top 4 had great cars; I just got through traffic better than they did once we hit the lapped cars. Doug was really coming tonight, going all-out to move up that quickly is something I try to avoid. Whenever I try that, I end up in a wreck. I prefer to just hang out for a while, figure out where the line is and basically just ‘go where they ain’t”. “I kind of wish the track had widened out a little more than it did; I think there would have been even more side-by-side racing. But, we all have to run the same track; it’s the same for everyone” he added. Chris’ sponsors include Doctor John’s, Heavy Company, Midwest Unlimited, Spanel Engines, The Alley Bar, ATH Motorsports, Onyx Digital Group, Independent Equipment and L&L Motorsports.

The finale for the evening was again the Budweiser Championship 360 sprints. Jay Jordan piloted his #19J into the lead at the drop of the green flag. Behind him were the 8B of Bobby Becker and the 24B of Frank Galusha. Galusha’s engine was smoking from the beginning of the race and finally expired with just 3 laps down. That moved Ken Klabunde’s #28 into 3rd. Just 2 laps later Becker got around Jordan to take over 1st, with Jeff Griffis following him into 2nd place from 4th. Another 4 laps were completed when Griffis passed Becker for the point. They held those positions and began to pull away from the rest of the field until with 6 laps to go, Gage Dorr’s #17 struck the guardrail hard between turns 1 & 2. Without stopping he continued on, only to make contact with the guardrail in turn 3 causing his sprinter to roll over. The resulting red flag bunched the field again with 7 laps left after going back to the last completed circuit. On the restart Griffis again motored to a significant lead, followed by Becker who had suffered a collapsed nose-wing somewhere during the contest. The finish of the race saw Griffis in 1st, Becker in 2nd, Jordan in 3rd and Klabunde in 4th.

Jeff Griffis has been racing since 1992, having taken 3 years off “in the middle somewhere” before returning full-time to the seat of the #3. “It’s been a rough couple of years out here, but now we’ve got a good program and a great car under us. Maybe we can keep improving from there,” Griffis stated. “First of all, I want to thank all of the fans who’ve supported us all of these years. Next, I need to thank my sponsors for giving me this great car” he added. Jeff’s sponsors are Mad Hatter Mufflers, Pearce Financial, Jay B. Garage & Towing, Fred’s Auto Body, C Met Excavating, MJ’s Pizza and Brews, GMS Wings, Barley’s and ‘The 500 Club’. “I can’t thank all of them enough” he finished.

Remember that next Saturday is Eagle’s Independence Day Celebration as the Army National Guard presents “Freedom Fest” Military Appreciation Night. All military, police, fire and rescue personnel in uniform will receive free admission with an appropriate photo ID. Racing will feature the Budweiser Championship 360 Sprints, Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds, Valentino’s Pizza IMCA Hobby Stocks and the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA Sport Compacts. A gigantic fireworks spectacular immediately following racing will top off the evening.

Blackbird Bend Speedway to close

Golden Racing Promotions, Inc is extremely upset to announce the Tribal
Council of Omaha has terminated our lease with Blackbird Bend Speedway.

As of Wed., June 20, 2007 we will no longer be affiliated with Blackbird
Bend Speedway or CasinOmaha. There are no future plans for the track at
this time that we are aware of. Reasoning for the termination of the
lease is not clear to us. We abided by all rules and regulations of the
lease.

Each week the tribal council would come up with something for us to
abide by, which we did. They are a hard council to please.

We have tried at great extent to satisfy these situations that they
brought forward and in attempting to contact the right people, they were
advised not to talk to us. It makes it hard to correct a situation when
you can't talk to the person you need to talk to.

We have been promoting area race tracks for 11 years. This was not a job
it was a hobby enjoyed by our entire family and staff. Most of our staff
has been with us from the beginning when we opened Interstate Speedway
in 1996. To all of you we say Thank You for being dedicated valued
friends. It is because of you that this is so hard to deal with.

Many of the drivers have raced with us for just as many years. Through
the years we have met and become friends with a variety of
personalities. To all of the drivers, the crews, family members and fans
we thank you for making our journey with us. We have many memories to
take with us. To first time winners, repeat winners, young kids driving
their cars for the first time, laughs with everyone and even being
yelled at for a call that was made. Bottom line, we enjoyed all of it.

Greg & Tina Golden, we are hanging up our promoting gloves and going
fishing. Maybe this was in the cards for us as today is our 11th
anniversary. We are trading one journey for another...RELAXING!!
Vacations that don't have to be arranged between Monday and Thursday.
Going camping on the weekends.

Thank You to everyone we have met throughout this journey.

Local drivers know what Edwards went through in quest for glory

BY CURT McKEEVER / Lincoln Journal Star
Friday, Jun 22, 2007 - 12:31:34 am CDT
Adam Gullion knows the feelings that rushed through Carl Edwards last
Sunday after the NASCAR Nextel Cup superstar ended a 52-race drought by
winning the Citizens Bank 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

Although they race on a much smaller scale, for Gullion and most of the
sprint car drivers who compete at Eagle Raceway, the challenge to win a
feature race is just as difficult as what Edwards faces each weekend.

"I've been in a race car since I was 12 and Eagle's probably one of the
toughest tracks I've ever even watched a race on," said Gullion, a
21-year-old from Beatrice. "The first time I won an 'A' feature there, that'
s probably the first time I've won and cried about it, because it's that big
a deal.

Eagle 6-17: Meinholdt, Alcorn, Hiatt and Frank Rock the 1/3 Mile High Bank Bull Ring

From Eagle Raceway

Another great crowd filed through the gates at Eagle Raceway, America's
home track tonight for "Dads Rock Night" sponsored by Legend's Bar and
Grill. Over 110 cars battled on a night almost perfect for racing. A
slight southerly breeze cooled the fans before the sun set, bringing a
typical spring evening.

The "Quad Squad" was on hand to entertain the fans with their feats of
jumping from ramp to ramp and acrobatics. Also, the "Dirt Track Hotties"
made their first appearance at Eagle this year, signing autographs,
taking pictures with the dads in attendance and getting some folks
involved in a water balloon relay on the front stretch during intermission.

Radio station KRKR topped off the night's special events when, after the
races finished, they gave away a $29,000 combination of a brand new
Seadoo and a Yamaha Roadstar motorcycle.

Even with all the extras for the dads, the racing took center stage as
usual, with a total of 21 heats, B Features and A Features.

Only 2 incidents marred the evening. The first occurred in the Budweiser
Championship 360 Sprint B Feature. Don Droud Jr. came into contact with
the 21 of Ryan Kitchen entering turn 1. Kitchen then flipped, coming to
a rest on the tires between turns 1 and 2. Kitchen was towed to the
pits, and Droud Jr. also retired. Droud Jr. was filling in for Doug
Lovegrove in the #44. Doug hasn't quite recovered from injuries suffered
at I-80 Speedway, and Droud graciously accepted an offer to pilot the
sprinter until Lovegrove is well enough to take back his seat.

The other significant mishap happened as the Stereo West Auto Toys IMCA
Sport Compacts came around for the green flag. Back in the pack, Maynard
Kinnersley made contact with another car. This resulted in his #18
nearly rolling over the wall in turn three. After several moments,
Kinnersley crawled from his racer, shaken but relatively unharmed.

When the race began again, the 00 of Barry Kinnersley took the lead,
with the #24 of Mike Rice in second, the 33 of Jeremy Noonan in third
and Justin Busboom's #62 in fourth. Kinnersley and Rice battled
fiercely, sometimes side-by-side, back and forth for quite some time.
With only 7 laps down, the 18R of Ron Frank had moved into third and
just 2 laps later, he claimed the lead; followed by Kinnersley and Rice.
The front four went unchanged until with 3 laps left, Dan Rhiley moved
all the way up to the third spot. On the very last circuit, Rhiley moved
into second position as Kinnersley spun past the flag stand. At the
checkered flag, it was Frank, Rhiley, Rice and Busboom.

Tonight was Ron Frank's third race ever in a car. Also, he runs the
entire operation on his own and out of his own pocket. In addition, he
is the driver, crew chief, mud scraper and hauls the car to the track
each racing night. When asked to tell about his sponsors, Frank said,
"Me, but I sure would welcome anyone who would like to help out." "The
track was really awesome tonight," he added. "I hope we can manage to
put this Honda into the winner's circle again really soon. I want to
thank my wife Cinda, for allowing me to race here at Eagle. It's been a
great time so far" he finished.

Next on the agenda was the Valentino's Pizza IMCA Hobby Stocks. At the
outset, the #10 of Brad Schreiner was in front with Shane Hiatt's 21H
and the #121 of Robert Tippery close behind. By lap #4 Justin Wulf had
brought his #86 up to third spot, having passed Tippery. It took only 3
more laps for Hiatt to take over the point. The drivers raced furiously
around the track, trying to find an opening to better their position;
but the running order up front remained unchanged until with just 4 laps
left, Wulf got around Schreiner for 2nd. In the end, Hiatt took home the
victory, followed by Wulf and Schreiner.
Shane Hiatt is in only his second year of racing, having spent the
majority of last year at US-30 Speedway and Butler County Motorplex;
however, he also ran at Eagle whenever his schedule allowed. This year
Shane has missed only 1 night on the high-banks of Eagle, and that was
the very first night of racing on the year.

"It was a great win tonight. After having gotten black-flagged near the
beginning of last week's A, I'm glad that we could come back tonight and
prove ourselves. We won last night at Butler County, then turned around
and won both our heat and the A Feature here" Hiatt stated. Shane's
sponsors include Benes Service, Hildy Construction, Seward Electronics,
Scrib's House Moving, Spark Electric, Kneaded Pampering, Klub Lisa,
Sonora Carriage Company, DC Auto Center, Slick Graphix, Just One More
Bar & Grill, Hlavac Farms and Bill's Machine. "I want to thank everyone
who helps me every week. Shawn, Nathan, Kevin, TJ, H-Rod, Ryan, Harms,
Jamie, Paula, Jerry and Jono. And a special thanks to my mother and
father" he added.

The Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modified A Feature began with the #1Z of
Norm Ziegenbein Jr. in front, followed by the 52 of Sean Manning in
second and the 5ST of Dan Wayman in third place. Doug Deterding was on
the move though, coming quickly up to second. Also advancing rapidly was
reigning track champion Chris Alcorn, who had come all the way from his
6th row inside starting position to 3rd. With 12 laps remaining,
Deterding moved into first position with Alcorn following him into
second place. Deterding managed to hold Alcorn off until after 3
straight restarts Chris put his #3 under Doug and took over first.
Despite numerous attempts by Deterding to overtake Alcorn using the high
line, Alcorn held on for the win. Deterding was a close second with the
#95 of Dylan Smith in third.

"I honestly didn't think we had the car to win tonight. I moved up and
down the track until I found a line that the car wanted to run good in.
I sure didn't think we could ever get past Doug. I just missed that hole
one time, got inside of him and passed. I sure figured Doug would get
back around me on the outside, but he couldn't quite do it," Alcorn stated.

The final A Main of the night featured the Budweiser Championship 360
Sprints. Young Trevor Grossenbacher took advantage of his pole position
to grab the early lead, with the #2X of past champion Rod Droud and the
8B of Bobby Becker in pursuit. On the third lap of the race, defending
sprint champion Mike Boston bounced through turns 1 & 2, finally coming
to a rest with a broken front axle. 2 laps later, Becker moved up to
second when the 2X was forced to the pits with a flat right front tire;
This put Ken Klabunde's #28 into the third spot. 9 laps later Becker got
around Grossenbacher for the lead. On the next lap Brad Krutz moved into
third in his #91. Another 5 laps were in the books when Krutz bumped
Grossenbacher from behind, spinning him in turn 2. Krutz was then sent
to the rear of the field, behind Grossenbacher. It was Becker, Klabunde
and Tadd Holliman's #23R in that order. On the restart, Chad Meinholtz
got around Holliman to take over the third spot between turns 1 & 2.
Meinholtz moved into 2nd position briefly on the following lap, before a
yellow light forced another restart. When the green flag flew again,
Meinholtz again moved up into second place behind Becker. They held
those places until with just 3 laps left Mark Pace hit the wall between
turns 1 and 2, bringing another stoppage. Ken Klabunde also went to the
pits with a flat right front tire. The running order then was Becker,
Meinholtz, Adam Gullion in the 96KX car and Holliman's 23R. Becker
managed to hold Meinholtz off during numerous restarts, but on the last
restart Meinholtz set Becker up perfectly and moved into the lead. He
held Becker off for the win.

"We haven't been here for 2 years, but this is the Eagle Raceway that I
remember. There were 2 good grooves; a really fast groove around the
bottom, and IF you have the guts, it was even faster on the top"
Meinholtz stated. "This is only the second race for me this year. We ran
fourth last week at US36, and decided to come up here this week. I
really had planned on taking the whole year off, but my crew chief Dave
kept pushing me to get out again; and I admit that the itch was getting
pretty strong. This was a really great win tonight, especially starting
on the outside of the 6th row" he added. "I want to thank my sponsors;
Reser's Fine Foods, Mike Mead Family Dentistry and Carstar North of
Topeka. And I need to give a special thanks to Eckley Racing Engines for
helping us figure out the fuel system on this 11 year-old ASCS motor" he
finished. Chad promised that he would return to Eagle Raceway again this
year, but wasn't sure of when it would be.

Don't forget that next week at Eagle Raceway is "Fan with a Can" night,
where 2 cans of food donated will be rewarded with $2 off of adult
admissions. All proceeds will be given to the Lincoln and Omaha area
Food Banks.

Boston Rises to ASCS Midwest Region Victory Lane

Lonnie Wheatley, RISING CITY, Neb. (June 15, 2007) – Mike Boston
collected his first career American Sprint Car Series feature win by
emerging victorious in Friday night's wild 25-lap ASCS Midwest Region
feature at the Butler County Motorplex.

Boston battled past Chuck Swenson to become the race's third different
leader just past the midway point then held off Jake Peters much of the
way to earn the victory aboard the Vision Sports No. 51 Maxim entry.

With Boston gridding the feature field outside the second row, it was
20-year-old Chad Humston and Brian Brown leading the way to the green
flag. Humston beat Brown into the first pair of corners but the red flag
flew a half lap later when Brown went for a wild ride in turn three,
collecting, Don Droud, Jr., Kory Rawstern and Mark Schmidt in the
process. There were no injuries, but all four drivers were done for the
night.

Swenson moved to Humston's outside shoulder on the restart and the pair
battled back and forth on the opening round before Humston charged off
turn tour to lead the opening circuit. Humston and Swenson continued to
battle for the point until the red flag flew after three laps for Lee
Grosz' turn three tumble. Grosz was uninjured.

After Gregg Bakker's flat tire brought out a caution two laps later,
Swenson finally edged ahead of Humston to take command on the sixth lap,
with Boston and Peters making their way past Humston as well in short order.

Boston soon went to work on Swenson for the lead, ultimately making what
proved to be the race-winning move on the 12th lap. In a bid to
recapture the lead, Swenson bicycled and then flipped in the third turn
two laps later, collecting defending series champion Toby Chapman in the
process. Swenson and Chapman, who had charged to fifth after starting
15th, were both done.

Back under way, Peters kept the pressure on Boston, making several
challenges along the way. But Boston's slim slim two car-length lead
suddenly expanded when Peters' powerplant expired on the 24th lap,
forcing the Burch No. 1m machine to the infield.

Boston raced to the checkered flag with a ten car-length advantage over
Dusty Zomer, who climbed from eighth to snare runner-up honors in Gary
Swanson's No. 24a. Humston settled for the show position, with Chad
Meyer and Gene Ackland rounding out the top five.

Natalie Sather charged from 19th to finish sixth, with Ryan Anderson,
Tige Jensen, 20th-starter Mark Pace and Seth Brahmer completing the top ten.

Boston, Humston and Ackland topped heat race action, with Grosz making a
last-corner pass of Schmidt to win the "B" Main.
