(Greenwood, Ne., 07/13/09) While MTV's Nitro Circus took center stage at I-80 on Monday night, racing also went on with Jesse Sobbing, Jake McCloud and Justin Soule winning the IMCA Sports Mod and Sport Compact features.

26 cars took the track in the Sports Mod feature and Jesse Sobbing, who is leading the Northern Region points, came from a 9th place starting position to win another feature in his rookie year in the Sport Mod class. Harlan's Chad Dills started 11th and came home second ahead of Brian Kosiski, Steve Swarthout and Denny Berghahn Jr. Sobbing is now just one point out of first place in track points.

The 1st Sports Compact feature saw Justin Soule pick up the win over Ole Olsen, Brandon Hammons, Brett Smith and Dan Markham.
The 2nd Sports Compact feature had 19 cars starting and 2nd generation driver Jake McCloud pick up the win over Kennin Colestock, Jamie Spanel, John Sedlachek and point leader Pete Fink Jr.
