Thompson, Hudson, Reicks victorious at Speed Bowl

By Mike Hughes

RED CLOUD, NE (April 21)-It was another beautiful evening for racing action at The
Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, April 21, as 65 race teams checked in
for action.

Superior's Jon Thompson made his way to victory lane in the IMCA Modified
A-feature. After leader Darrick Klima spun on lap 12 after being passed by
Thompson, Thompson then pulled away on the restart. The red flag came out on lap
19 when Justin Basart went up and over the guardrail in turn 1. Basart escaped
unharmed but was finished for the race. This set up a green-white-checkered finish
and Thompson was able to hang on for the win. Lonnie Schriner finished second,
trailed by Joby Hanson, Tim Watts and Dusty Blake. Larry Sutton, Thompson, Brian
Calhoon, and Blake all won heat races, while Carl Hund Jr. led the field to the
checkers in the B-main.

Josh Hudson of Kensington, KS, led from green to checkered in the 20-lap IMCA Stock
Car feature. It took 3 tries to get the opening lap in, and once it was completed,
the rest of the race went caution free. Hudson built up a big lead, but late in
the race Cory Struckhoff and heat one winner Troy Attwood closed ground but had to
settle for second and third. Matt Streit and Brett Behrends rounded out the top
five. Hudson won the other heat race.

Hometown driver Zach Reicks led wire-to-wire in the 15-lap caution free IMCA Hobby
Stock feature. Wade Wagenblast closed in late on the leader but had to settle for
the runner-up spot. Rhett Kingsbury finished third, followed by Jim Buss and Jamie
Reiman. Reicks and Buss were victorious in the two heat races.

Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe of Hastings, NE, took the lead on lap 3 of the Cruiser
feature from heat race winners Joe & Jacob Krone and held on to the winner's
circle. Josh & Vic Jacobitz finished third.

Racing returns to the 3/8-mile oval Friday night, April 28. The green flag flies
at 8:00 p.m.

Eagle Raceway Cancels 2006 Icebreaker Challenge

Nebraska Cup return a possibility

By Jason Orth / Heartland RaceNews.com

Eagle Raceway has canceled the 2006 Icebreaker Challenge and will not reschedule the race. The season opening event, which showcased a $2000 to win 360 sprint car A feature prize was pushed back one week from its original April 8 date so not to conflict with I-80 Speedway’s Spring Sizzler, which also featured the same sprint class. Last Saturday’s race was rained out.

Roger Hadan, promoter of Eagle Raceway cited a tight sponsorship commitment schedule as the main reason for the Icebreaker’s cancellation.

The Icebreaker’s increased purse, meant to draw cars from neighboring states would have had less effect this week as other tracks and series in the region are now starting their regular seasons with drivers chasing point championships.

However, Hadan opened the possibility of returning the Nebraska Cup race to Eagle’s schedule, depending on how the season fares for the first-year track operator. In past years the Cup was a showcase event for Eagle Raceway’s weekly classes and drew cars from across the Midwest.

Ironically, Hadan will not get to see his new venture’s first race. An urgent outside matter has drawn him out of town for this weekend. Filling in for Hadan as Race Director this Saturday will be Craig Kelley, former Sunset Speedway and Nebraska Raceway Park General Manager.

Eagle Raceway starts its season Saturday night, April 22 with Meet and Greet night, featuring 360 Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Hobby Stocks and 4-cylinder Tuners racing for regular pay and points. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for youth 6-13 kids 5 & under Free.

I-80 Speedway ready for opening weekend

From Nebraska Raceway Park

OMAHA, Neb. (April 17, 2006) - If the opening events of the young 2006 racing season are any indication, I-80 Speedway race fans are in for another super season of competition in 2006. Terry Phillips took home the gold in the MLRA/TORA North-South Shootout on April 1 st and Brian Brown grabbed the winner's trophy in the record setting ASCS/NCRA Spring Sizzler on April 8 th . 59 Super Late Models and 69 360 Sprint Cars took part in the two special events.

Now the speedway, part of Nebraska Raceway Park's family of race tracks, and the only NASCAR sanctioned track in Nebraska, is set to make history by hosting the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series two nights per week in 2006. Only one other NASCAR member track in the US hosts the Dodge Weekly Series more than one time week. Sunday's program competes in Division II of the Dodge Weekly Series while Saturday's program competes in Division III.

Saturday, April 22 nd kicks off the new Saturday night series with Late Models (using spec. crate engines) as the premier division of NASCAR. The always popular Certified Transmission Pro-Ams, celebrating their 23 rd year of competition, and B-Mods join the Late Models as the NASCAR sanctioned classes on Saturday nights. The Tobacco FREE Nebraska Pro and Novice Hornets round out the Saturday night lineup.

The 6 th season of the Sunday NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series at I-80 Speedway starts on Sunday April 23 rd and features the Dodge Super Late Models as the premier division with the Home Pride Pro Modifieds and newly sponsored Stereo West Auto Toys Hobby Stocks also being NASCAR sanctioned. The competitive Grand National Late Models, which include the crate engined cars from Saturday night, round out the night's competition that'll also feature Kenny Edwards, brother of Nextel Cup star Carl Edwards, as a weekly competitor at I-80 Speedway.

“We're looking forward to the opening of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series this coming weekend” said Tom Gutowski, General Manager of Nebraska Raceway Park. “I-80 Speedway has a great tradition of showcasing some of the best racing in the nation and the drivers who compete here on a weekly basis are among the most talented in the Midwest. Adding a second night of NASCAR sanctioning helps us gain more exposure for our great drivers and crews” he added. Read More...

Little Sunset Test & Tune April 21

Little Sunset Speedway - dirtdrivers.com:

From Mike Kelley

"Get ready to come out and play Friday April 21st! Bring out your ride and get ready for the 2006 season and see the newly reconfigured race track. April 28th will be the first race night. However, it will be for fun only. The OFFICIAL points championship season starts Friday May 5th.

The IKF Briggs & Stratton Midwest Speedway Tour will be at Little Sunset on May 12th and 13th.

A lot has been done off-season in an attempt to bring this track to a National event level. Hopefully, all the changes will provide an even better racing experience than last season.

The concrete frontstretch wall was moved back approx. 10 feet from the edge of the track. The exit off of turn two was widened and the dropoff on the backstretch was brought up to track level, with a flat surface approx. 15 feet wide protected by another wall. The staging area is EXTRA LARGE now as karts will now exit off the backstretch and to the right. The scale and tech area have also been moved.
See http://www.neracewaypark.com/LittleSunset/index.htm for schedule, classes, and rules info!!!

Tom Gutowski will be General Manager, I will be race directing, Daryl Weilage will be doing tech, and Dale Hoyle will be helping with track prep. We're looking forward to a GREAT 2006 race season, and the WKA event should be awesome!!

Details: Gates open at 6:00PM with practice starting around 7:30PM. Practice will cycle thru classes until at least 9:30. I will post the racer entry fee ASAP. "

Red Cloud kicks off a new season

By Mike Hughes

RED CLOUD, NE (April 14)—A large crowd was on hand for the opening night of the 2006 race season at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, April 14.

Dave Trauernicht of Beatrice used lapped traffic to his advantage to win the 20-lap IMCA Modified main event. Jason Schoenberger of Russell, KS, took the lead at the drop of the green with Trauernicht in pursuit. Late in the race as the leading duo came upon lapped traffic, Schoenberger had a lapped car pull in front of him and had to slow, allowing Trauernicht to make the winning pass. Schoenberger held on to second, followed by Greg Metz, Lonnie Schriner and Brandon Blochlinger. Heat race winners were Darrick Klima, Trauernicht, Wade Cross and Tim Watts, with Joby Hanson holding off Johnny Saathoff to the checkers in the B-main.

Jason Smidt of Minden took the lead on lap 2 of the IMCA Stock Car feature and led the remaining 18 laps to score the victory. Smidt was challenged all the way but never missed his line and took the win. Matt Streit won the race for the runner-up spot as he edged out Brett Behrends, Troy Attwood and Jason Schoenberger to the line. Cory Struckhoff, Josh Hudson, and Attwood were victorious in the three heat races.

It was a two-car race in the IMCA Hobby Stock feature as Jim Buss of Hastings was able to outrun Deshler’s Wade Wagenblast in the 12-lap race. Jamie Reiman won a three-car race for third over Delbert Selvage and Jerry Hudson. Heat race winners included Mike Shriver, Edd Huxoll, and Buss.

Guide Rock’s Ron & Kent Duffy went from third to first in the final 3 laps of the Cruiser feature to claim the win. Heat race winners Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe finished second, followed by Vic & Josh Jacobitz.

A candy toss was held for the kids during intermission.

Editorial: Let's get it started!

Though several tracks have run specials, and a few already got started the weekend of April 22 marks the “start” of the season, as all tracks get their weekly programs rolling.

Like most others, I’m stoked. For any of the issues regarding track ownership changes, class rules issues, purses, admission prices, etc. we’re still blessed with an incredible buffet to satisfy our racing appetites. There are several tracks well within an hour’s drive of Lincoln at least 7 with oval racing alone! Stocks, sprints, hornets, karts…your call! I cannot think of any time in recent memory we’ve been blessed with that kind of opportunity to enjoy our sport.

Most of us race fanatics consider the “new year” to be the opening night of racing, the calendar be damned. So why not list some New Year’s Racing Resolutions for 2006?

Here’s some suggestions:

• As a fan, I’ll recognize that no matter what class of cars we like the most, racing is racing. The more ways there are to enter the sport, the more people get involved and the more our sport grows.
• As a promoter, I will respect the fan as well as the teams. I’ll start shows on time, keep the program moving as well as I can and provide a safe, friendly, entertaining and comfortable place for racers, die-hard race fans, occasional fans, and potential new fans alike.
• Understand that the new media of the internet gives us information readily and in incredible detail. There’s always going to be ruffled feathers, but think before you speak either on the ‘net or on the phone, or in person…how important is it really? Step inside the other guy’s shoes before venting.
• Get out to a race outside my “class comfort zone.” If I’m a sprint fan, go see some of the Late Model specials taking place. If I root for stockers, go see some of the ASCS specials, an Eagle Weekly show or maybe a midget or kart race.
• Remember that for 99% of the people out there this is a HOBBY. These people have day jobs, family and other obligations. Sometimes racing has to take a back seat. I’d venture that most teams get out of racing because they don’t enjoy it any more. There’s no need to make it rougher on them.
  
• Realize that there are going to be some great races, and some we'd rather forget. One week may have a photo finish at the flag, and another could see a follow-the-leader dry slick parade. Keep it all in perspective, sometimes a little variety makes things interesting down the road.
  

But, if there's only one resolution anyone keeps, I hope it's to have fun, be thankful we get to enjoy a sport we love and pray for the safety of all those involved.

Followup: Sprint Team Breakup?

RUMOR: I've heard that one of the newly-created Eagle Raceway sprint teams is breaking up before the start of the season. There's a lot of crazy details behind all of this, I'll get more to you once I get the facts.

Update: I've been told that the Gullion/Jamey Wiese (Del-Rich Auto Sales) sprint partnership may be dissolved. However the Gullion team (with Adam driving, of course) will be racing this week and for the 2006 season as they've secured additional support.

Read Mark Gullion's post above. Good luck to the team.

WRP Announcement - Split with MMSA

Announcement From the Micro Sprint Track Meeting-March 8, 2006

As you may or may not know, in 1988 Roger Kilgore (then the President of the ENMMA) approached me about racing Modified Midgets at CRP. At the time, the track was much smaller and many improvements needed to be made to accommodate the Modified Midgets. We decided that we wanted to build the track to accommodate both Go-Karts and Modified Midgets. So, in 1989, with the help of the ENMMA, construction began. The club helped us more than most of you know with both volunteered time and manual labor.

The first year racing Modified Midgets, we averaged about 18 cars a night. Even though the car count was minimal that first season, I consider that year to be a great success as so much was accomplished and so many great friendships were made. As the years went by, WRP (formally CRP) has always valued and respected the club’s opinion. The track and the club grew together in both members and car count.

Lately, as I stand back and watch what is going on with the organization, I realize that WRP and the organization no longer share the same ideals. " Read More - Wavelink Raceway Park:

LINCOLN, NE - (April 9, 2006) - The 2006 Fastrack Pictorial, The Topless Issue, is hot off the press, jam-packed with 40 pages of exciting photos featuring the 2005 midget, sprint car, and silver crown season. This year marks the first time a midget has graced the cover of the Fastrack Pictorial, as Badger champ, Scott Hatton, is shown blasting through turn three at Angell Park in Sun Prairie, WI, during action last summer. Hatton joins past Fastrack cover boys, Sammy Swindell, T.J. Giddings, Jerry Russell, Russ Gamester, Joey Saldana, Steve Troxell, Lonnie Jensen and Lloyd Beckman.

As you may have guessed from the title of this year’s pictorial, the action is all topless, with nary a wing in sight. Although the Badger midget boys, with Hatton leading the way, grabbed the front page, USAC sprints are prominent, along with MSCS, KISS, Sprint Bandit TNT and USAC-CRA sprints getting much of the attention. Midget groups beyond the BMARA included are: USAC, Gateway Racing, Inc. and SMRS. Of course, what would a topless issue be without the USAC Silver Crown big cars, as they too are well represented, and as always there is a look back at the good old days, with a special page honoring Kevin Doty and Don Brown.

Some of the premier events covered are: the Chili Bowl, Indiana Sprint Week, Belleville Midget Nationals, Ultimate Challenge, Tony Bettenhausen 100, Hut Hundred, Ted Horn 100, Four Crown Nationals and Oval Nationals. Racing from such topless strongholds as Terre Haute, Sun Prairie, Paragon, Lawrenceburg, IRP, Eldora, Putnamville, Perris, Bloomington and a host of other venues are featured on each page.

The 2006 Fastrack Pictorial is still just $5.00 plus $1.00 for postage and handling. For your copy, write to: Fastrack Publishing, 4268 Knox St., Lincoln, NE 68504; phone: 402-466-6608; e-mail: cats4racin@aol.com.

Lindquist survived several restarts in the race and held Brown back until the 22nd lap. Brown took the lead with a neat slidejob and managed to survive a late challenge by Chuck Swenson."

Nebraska Raceway Park, Eagle square off on Saturday nights

BY TODD HENRICHS / Lincoln Journal Star

Stunt men. Bus races. Garbage trucks jumping cars — wrecked cars, we presume. Since taking control of Eagle Raceway this winter, new promoter Roger Hadan has been busy coming up with ways — ways that you likely have never thought of — to get more fans out to the racetrack this summer.

Eleven miles up Nebraska 63, officials at I-80 Speedway near Greenwood have dubbed 2006 as the “Year of the Fan.” And with both tracks set to race on the same night for the first time in recent memory, the action won’t be centered only on the dirt ovals..."

NASCAR angry about possible ‘Dateline’ story

I found this interesting and insulting. NBC solicited some Muslim men and used them as plants at the Martinsville race, ostensibly to see if the fans would insult the individuals.

According to the AP story (linked below), the NBC crew was “apparently on site in Martinsville, Va., walked around and no one bothered them,” NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Wednesday.

By the way, NASCAR and NBC are in the final year of their television contract.

Hint to NBC: if you want to make people mad, make your plants wear Jeff Gordon t-shirts next time (just kidding)

Autograph Day 2006

Here's a few pics from my first Autograph Day (I've had to work during the previous ones). Kudos to Gary Dominguez and all the crew for their work. One couldn't have asked for a better day. It was a heck of an event. I didn't get a chance to take a lot of pictures - as I spent a lot of time talking to racers and getting sunburned in the process! So, if I didn't get a picture of your car it was nothing personal.

The trophy winners were:
Peoples Choice: Toby Chapman
Best of Show: Jay Jordan (Chad Fegley's 13F was a very close second)
