(Greenwood, Ne., 5/20/06) – The NASCAR, Dodge Weekly Racing series saw 106
cars and drivers sign in to compete Saturday night. Jason Hobscheidt, Shawn Bulin and
Lynn Carlson picked up their first feature wins of the year.
Hobscheidt started the Crate Late Model feature in the 10th position and watched as
Jon Schwartz grabbed the early lead. Ron Tilley, who started 6th, moved into 2nd on
lap 3 and took the lead from Schwartz on lap 5. Dave Livingston took 2nd on lap 6 followed by Hobscheidt and Jody Krug. Hobscheidt took over the lead on lap 8.
Tilley, Livingston and Krug then locked in a 3 way battle for 2nd with Krug taking
that position on lap 13. Livingston came on strong to take 2nd with 3 laps left.
But Livingston could not overhaul Hobscheidt and had to settle for 2nd. Hobscheidts
first win of the season combined with Billy Leighton finishing 9th, gave Hobscheidt
the points lead after 4 nights of racing. Krug finished 3rd ahead of Dave Doll, Kent
Schimenti and Trevor Millikan.
In the Certified Transmission Pro-am 18 lap feature Terry Cleveland took the early
lead from his pole starting position and held it til lap 12. Shawn Bulin, who started
9th had been steadily moving up in the field and grabbed the lead on that lap. From
that point Bulin pulled away and went on to record his first win of the year. Cleveland
held on to 2nd ahead of Jeff Kupke, Don Mohr and Scotty Hartman.
Ben Romey charge in front from his pole position in the B-Mod 10 lap feature event.
But it would be short lived as Mike Christiansen passed him on the back straight.
Floyd Richards took over the lead on lap 3 with Harry Nixon moving to 3rd.
Christiansen who dropped all the way to 4th made contact with Nixon and spun him
out. On the next yellow flag Christiansen was set back 2 spots. Nixon worked his
way up to challenge Richards at the end. With both drivers running side by side
Richards was able to hold on and record his 2nd win of the season. Jim Fritz finished
3rd ahead of Jim Hendricks Jr. and Lacey Tuttle.
The Smoke Free Nebraska Hornets had a lot of problems on this night; the Pro-Hornets
had a 9 car pileup on the back straight away in the opening lap. Austin Kurtzers car
would end up standing on its nose. When they restarted Rick Havenridge charged to
the early lead. But officials ruled that Havenridge had jumped the start passing one car
before the green flag flew. So after lap 3 a yellow flag flew so official could set back
Havenridge his 3 spots. Perry “The Soul Man” Soule took over the lead on lap 4 and
Went on to record his 2nd feature win of the year.
In the SFN Novice Hornet feature on the opening lap a mixup on the back stretch saw
Amanda Leonardo get sideways and flip 5 times before coming to rest. The Safety Crew
got her stabilized and had to cut the roof off of her car to extract her. She was complaining of some neck pain, so the ambulance took her into the hospital to be
checked over. On the restart Mollee Collins took the early lead only to lose it in turn 1
to Lynn Carlson. Carlson held off a late charge by Nate Christensen to record her first
career win and in turn snapped Christensen win streak at 3. Collins held on for 3rd ahead
of Nathan Brown and Sara Doll.
There was a special Challenge race for teachers and administrators from the Ralston
School district in Hornet cars. The “Teacher Feature” started 8 cars. Mark Fugleberg,
The Ralston High School Tech teacher who helped some of his students build a hornet
car in 2005, won the race over Greg Sheperd, the Ralston High School Principal and
Bob Brown, the president of the Board of Education.

Repeat winners at The Speed Bowl
By Mike Hughes
RED CLOUD, NE (May 19)—Some familiar faces found their way to victory lane at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, May 19.
Josh Hudson of Kensington, KS, won his third IMCA Stock Car feature of the season at the 3/8-mile oval. Cory Struckhoff, also of Kensington, led the first 7 laps of the 20-lap race before Hudson was able to make the pass. The lone caution of the race came out on lap 18, bunching up the field for the restart. Hudson was able to hold off his teammate, while Jared Remus finished third, followed by Brett Behrends and Matt Streit. Ron Olson and Geoffrey Jermark won the two heat races.
The IMCA Modified feature saw its share of caution flags in the 20-lap event. The race got off to a rough start when Lonnie Veteto took out a section of guardrail coming out of turn 2 on the opening lap. When the race restarted, Dwight Housh took the lead, only to see the caution on lap 2 for a spinning Joby Hanson. On the ensuing restart, Superior’s Jon Thompson passed Housh to take a lead he would not relinquish enroute to his second win of the year. The caution waved 3 more times in the race, keeping the field close. Hometown driver Lonnie Schriner hounded Thompson late in the race but had to settle for the runner-up spot. Tim Watts, Dusty Blake and Todd Peterson rounded out the top five. Thompson and Hanson were victorious in the two heat races.
Blue Hill’s Jamie Reiman won his first IMCA Hobby Stock feature of the season at Red Cloud in the most exciting race of the night. Chase Carraher led the first three laps of the 15-lap race before Reiman took the top spot. Carraher retook the lead on lap 5 and held on until lap 8 when Reiman took command again. Reiman, Joe McDole, and Carraher ran side-by-side and nose-to-tail the last half of the race, with 5 other drivers within striking distance and swapping positions. Reiman held on for the win, trailed by Jerry Hudson, McDole, Jim Buss and Wade Wagenblast. Heat race winners were Jared Lewis and Carraher.
The Guide Rock duo of Ron & Kent Duffy won their second Cruiser main event of the season. The Duffys led most of the way to the checkers with heat two winners Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe in second. Josh & Vic Jacobitz finished third, followed by heat one winners Joe & Jacob Krone.

Pace Lap Column
This week's edition of "The Pace Lap" may be a little delayed. I'll try to get it for you as soon as I can, perhaps it will be delayed until Monday and I'll do some wrapup of the weekends events. We'll see.
USA Today - Indianapolis 500 is paying price for diluted series
Here's sobering commentary on an issue that affects not only Indy Cars but whose lessons can be applied to any level of racing.
USATODAY.com - Indianapolis 500 is paying price for diluted series:
By Jon Saraceno
May 18, 2006 - Paul Dana has been dead for eight weeks and, not surprisingly, the racing landscape that helped dig his asphalt grave hasn't modified one iota. That not only is tragic, it should be unacceptable for one of the wealthiest families in Indiana and those who mourn the passing of successful open-wheel racing in America.
Saturday is Pole Day for the Indianapolis 500, but the fissure in a bifurcated racing series seems wider than ever. With its talent and fan base diluted and two series choking on the financial fumes of declining sponsorship and television ratings, the race no longer can be considered the 'Greatest Spectacle in Racing.'
That title, trademark or not, belongs to the Daytona 500.
Rather, it has denigrated into a sorry sight, reflecting an ailing industry and the ineffective unification attempts between IndyCar founder Tony George — his grandfather Tony Hulman bought the track after World War II — and Champ Car's Kevin Kalkhoven.
That is why this time of year no longer carries the cachet it once did, when entry lists, grandstands and hotels were full. Names such as Andretti, Foyt and Unser sprinkle a watered-down, shrunken field. Those famous names merely serve to jog our memories, generational remnants of a bygone era when open-wheel racing was king of the road and NASCAR sucked tailpipe, when delivering money wasn't the prerequisite for climbing into the cockpit of an Indy-style car.

Editorial: Jumbotron or Dumbotron?
Does a giant TV at a racetrack have true value or is it just a gimmick?
The old Memorial Stadium “Jumbotron” (I believe it's made by Mitsubishi and Jumbotron is a trademark for another brand) is going to be housed at Eagle Raceway. Some have said in the past its new home would be I-80 Speedway. But is it a necessary expense or just a trophy in a silly contest?
Regarding Eagle's case I guess I'm against it because if you're looking for live video, it's a freakin' short track...LOOK UP! It's right there in front of you. To do replays, you're going to need one or two people handling production, and you have to deal with maintenance and potential vandalism. If you're going to dedicate a person to the TV's operation, get someone to get results out in time for the press and the day of/after the race first, then move up.
I think there's better ways to get the fans pumped up for a lot cheaper. Not knowing what the jumbotron is going for, I'm guessing it's a lot more than a five-place alphanumeric scoreboard – something that would be truly useful. Let the track/sponsor/whoever put the money into THAT.
I'd rather see them spend the money on an updated scoreboard display that can be linked with the transponders and put it in turn three - and get rid of the shopping mall signs...uhhhh..."scoreboard" they have now. Use that for your cute messages and such. Replace it with a full color display if you want. Get the crowd pumped up by getting them involved. Start working the crowd between races with prizes and giveaways. Get them involved in the program - the 2-seat modified is a great example of this. Smoke and mirrors aren't enough anymore. They have to be part of the program through true interaction either by being directly involved or information.
That said, IF the jumbotron could do that for not much money, and you could show previous races, commercials and whatnot - if it's utilized to its fullest potential and brings real value to the program, then I'm all for it and I think it will make a tremendous addition.
But if it costs a ton to the track, and can’t do those things I mentioned above; if it's not contributing to the ENTIRE show, I think the money being spent by whomever would go further in different ways.

IMCA All-Star Invitational voting is now on
From Bill Martin, IMCA Public Relations
3,100-plus ballots already cast to determine starting field
for IMCA All-Star Modified Invitational at Super Nationals
VINTON, Iowa (May 18) Any doubts about converting to electronic only
voting for the IMCA All-Star Modified Invitational field have been forgotten
as the number of ballots cast through the IMCA website topped 3,100 in just
two and a half weeks.
Drivers from six states Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas
and Iowa comprise the current top 10 vote recipients.
Voting through the www.imca.com website began May 1 and will continue
through July, with the starting field of 10 to be announced in early August
for the Friday, Sept. 8 race during the IMCA Speedway Motors Super Nationals
at Boone Speedway.
The total number of ballots cast for the inaugural invitational in 2004
was 2,541. More than 5,800 ballots were counted for last year's race.
"From day one with this event, while we wanted fans to vote for the
drivers they consider the best of the best, we had to be concerned with the
possibility of ballot stuffing," IMCA Vice President of Operations Brett
Root said. "The elec-tronic system is the easiest way for us to ensure that
doesn't happen. It¹s convenient for the fans, it's convenient for us and
it's the system that's least open to ballot stuffing."
"Last year's event was an awesome show," he added, "and I'm sure this
year's will be, too."
All 55 drivers on the ballot have received at least 301 votes as of noon
Wednesday, May 17. Ballots can only be sub-mitted once a day from an
individual email address. Ballots that do not designate votes for 10
different drivers are not counted.
Ballot drivers include the winners of sanctioned specials held since May
of 2005 that paid $1,000 or more, 2005 state and regional champions, and
drivers winning three track championships last season.
The 10 lap All-Star Invitational pays $1,000 to win and a minimum of
$100 to start.

Eagle Raceway 5-13-2006 Results
Eagle Raceway:
By Eagle Raceway Staff
It was another chilly spring evening for “Moms Rule Night” at Eagle Raceway. But the cool temperatures and a brisk northerly wind did nothing to take away from some great racing.
Thankfully, it was a fairly accident-free night at “America’s Home Track”, with only two minor incidents to mar the festivities.
Nathan Lundgren apparently got up into the marbles coming out of turn 2 in the first IMCA Modified B Feature, causing him to bicycle and nearly tip over before making hard contact with the backstretch wall. Nathan evidently got the wind knocked out of him, but was more or less unhurt at last report.
The Tuner, Hobby Stock and IMCA Modified A features all went green, white, checkered with great racing throughout.
The second accident happened on the first lap of the 360 Sprint A Feature, when Larry Pinegar had a nasty flip, also in turn 2. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. Sadly, 4 of the cars involved were unable to continue. Larry Pinegar’s 13f, the 7L of Rob Lipker, Tige Jensen’s 71 and Bruce Divis’ 24W were damaged too badly to be able to make repairs in time to rejoin the field.
Mike Boston quickly moved up from his 7th starting position to repeat last week’s outcome as the winner, followed closely by Bobby Becker. Afterwards Mike said “It’s so hard to get even one win here at Eagle. That’s all I had last year, one win. And to repeat is almost unheard of. I’m just pretty much speechless!”
Maynard Kinnersly managed to beat out last week’s winner, his son Barry Kinnersly. Maynard had this to say about his A Feature win: “It’s about time I outran my son. I’m having a really good time racing here at Eagle, and it’s great fun battling with Barry. Plus, I got this great big check to take home to the wife”.
In the IMCA Modified A Feature, Stacy Wilhelm got out to an early lead but with just 10 laps to go Clint Homan managed to get by on the front stretch. Dave Trauernicht moved quickly toward the front from deep in the field to finish 3rd. After the races Clint said “I want to wish all the mothers, and especially my own mom a Happy Mother’s Day. I also want to be sure my dad knows how much I appreciate all of his help. And I want to say a big thank you to my girlfriend Kylie for her support”.
In the Hobby Stock A Feature, the 1X of Rich Small took the lead from his starting position on the front row and finished ½ a lap ahead of 2nd place Rob Brown’s 42. He also echoed all of the driver’s feeling when he stated “I want to wish my mom a very happy Mother’s Day”. He also went on to say “What a great track tonight. I want to thank my sponsors, Front Runner Fab and Triple-H Farms for being there for me. Although, I always say that if you can’t win from the front row, you won’t be winning many races”.
Be sure to come out next weekend for McDonalds Junior Fan Club Night. There will be a $1000 kids money grab on the front stretch, so bring the youngsters. Of course, there will be a full night of racing with the 360 sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Tuners.

He also echoed all of the driver’s feeling when he stated “I want to wish my mom a very happy Mother’s Day”. He also went on to say “What a great track tonight. I want to thank my sponsors, Front Runner Fab and Triple-H Farms for being there for me. Although, I always say that if you can’t win from the front row, you won’t be winning many races”.
Be sure to come out next weekend for McDonalds Junior Fan Club Night. There will be a $1000 kids money grab on the front stretch, so bring the youngsters. Of course, there will be a full night of racing with the 360 sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Hobby Stocks and Tuners.

"Awesome Al" Zeitner Takes Non-stop NDWRS "A" Main at I-80 Speedway
By Joey Sparano
On a brisk windy evening, an estimated 2800 fans filled I-80 Speedway for Kenny Schrader / Kenny Wallace night.
The 25 lap NASCAR Dodge Division II Latemodel feature saw outside pole sitter Josh Most jump out to an early lead over Al Zeitner and Billy Leighton Jr. On lap three, Zeitner would get around Most and hold the lead until lap 13 when Most would ride the cushion and pass Zeitner for the lead. Zeitner would return the favor one lap later taking the point back. Meanwhile 17th place starter Joe Kosiski would pilot his #53 to the bottom of the track and roar through the 24 car field. Kosiski would pass Most with less than five to go, but Zeitner would hold on to take the win over the late charging Kosiski. Most would have his best finish of his short rookie season by taking third. Ed Kosiski and Scott Koskovich finished off the top five.
NASCAR NEXTEL Cup star Kenny Schrader would start 16th on the field after winning his heat race. Schrader would run his Red Baron Pizza sponsored Rayburn on the bottom of the track to a respectable ninth place finish.
The Home Pride Modifieds would have two early race cautions, but when the race got under way it was week one winner Brian Foote at the front of the field. Foote would hold onto the lead until a lap eight restart when points leader Mike Meyer would sneak around his #43. Meyer and Foote would race side by side for the remaining laps along with newcomer Jay Noteboom from Hinton Iowa. Meyer would hold on for the victory over a close Foote and Noteboom. Fellow newcomer David Trauernicht would take home fourth and Chris Hogan finished fifth.
Just like his counterpart, Cup and BGN driver Kenny Wallace would start in the back of his heat and win with his #36 St. Louis Cardinals modified. But Wallace would not find as much success as Schrader, he would finish 17th in the main event.
The Grand National Division would see front row starters Jody Krug and Joey Bauer Jr. battle side by side or the lead for the first half of the 20 lap race. Lap traffic would come into play as Dave Livingston took the lead from Krug on lap 12. Livingston, who was looking for the weekend sweep at I-80, would have everything under control until two laps to go when his #17 would get loose in turn two. Krug, Dave Doll, and Dave Cook all passed Livingston after his mistake. Krug would hold on for the win over Doll and Cook. Livingston would settle for fourth, and Bauer would take fifth.
The Stereo West AutoToys Hobby Stocks would have seventh place starter Jeremy Swanson take the lead on lap four. Swanson would lead the remaining laps and take the feature win. Justin Leach, Bob Kracher, Jesse Sobbing, and Jeremy Auten rounded out the top five.

It was a night of new winners at Beatrice Speedway on Saturday May 13, 2006. Hugh Carmichael took his first win since 1998 in dominating fashion on Saturday night at Beatrice Speedway in the IMCA Stock Cars. Carmichael, a recently new father in his Carmichael Trenching, Schmidt Machine and lettered by Extreme Motorsports 22 machine started the A Feature outside the 3rd row and worked his way to the front and took the lead from Mike Sherwood around lap 7 and then pulled away from the field to never be challenged. Carmichael was followed across the line by Josh Carpenter, Eric Rempel, Mike Sherwood and Todd Laflin.
Greg Metz of Washington, Ks took the win by inches over Dan Nelson of Beatrice in the IMCA Modifieds. Nelson who has had his share of bad luck this season took the lead from the start and looked to be in command of the race until Metz made a hard charge the last 3 laps of the feature to take the win at the flag stand by inches with the sparks a flying and the crowd going wild. Nelson, Jordy Nelson, Tom Petracek and Spencer Sutton rounded out the front 5.
Tom Vanover JR of Beatrice put an end to the streak of 3 in row by Benji Legg by holding off Craig Evers to take the win in the Limited Modifieds. Evers, Bill Lux, Benji Legg and Kevin Vanlaningham completed the first 5. Delmar Wells of Hallam took the win in the Factory Stocks by holding off a hard charging Jeff Watts to take the win.

Livingston and Hartman Lead First Time Winners at I-80 Speedway
By Joey Sparano
Dave Livingston, Scotty Hartman, Greg Ryba, and Rob Kubli all saw their first "A" feature wins of the 2006 season, as Kosiski Auto Parts presented the Midwest Auto Recyclers Night at Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway.
The 20 lap NASCAR Dodge Division III Crate Late Models would see Kent Schimenti jump out to an early lead. As the racers roared down the back straight away after completing lap one, top ten runners Tony Leonardo and Randy Archer would make contact coming off of turn two. Archer's car would barrel roll three times until coming to rest on it wheels. Ten cars would be caught up in the incident, but all drivers walked away uninjured. On the restart second place runner Jon Schwartz would have his #18J spin out in turn two collecting the #25 of Brad Perdue. After another caution on lap three, the race would get under way with Scott Carlson taking the lead over Billy Leighton Jr, Jody Krug, and Schimenti. The race would see its final caution four laps later on lap seven when Leighton would loose control of his car on the bottom of turn two. All drivers would take evasive actions and miss the #28 causing no damage to his car. After that it was all Carlson and he would lead the final 13 laps. In post race inspection track officials would find Carlson's #2x one pound to light, causing him to be disqualified. Dave Livingston would take the win. Schimenti finished second. Leighton would recover for third. Dave Doll took home fourth and Jason Hobsheidt would get fifth after being in the lap one accident.
The Certified Transmission Pro Ams would see outside pole sitter Jason Cieslik take the early lead over pole sitter Rick Negrete. On lap five ninth place starter Joe Feyen would pass Negrete for second, and tenth place starter Scotty Hartman would fall in line behind Negrete in fourth. But Hartman's #88 would be the class of the field and he would take the lead on lap 12 of 18. Hartman would continue on to take the win over Cieslik. Feyen would take third. The #36 of Shawn Bulin came home fourth, and Negrete would finish fifth.
The B-Modified class would see its biggest car count of the short season, while the #5 of Harry Nixon took his second feature win. Points leader Floyd Richards would finish second. Jim Fritz, Larry Robinson Sr., and Jim Hendricks Jr. would round out the top five.
The Smoke Free Nebraska Pro Hornets had second year driver Joe Baker wheel his #9x out to an early lead. On lap two Baker would give up the top spot to rookie Brian Willard's #33t. Just as fast as Willard gained the lead, he would loose it to ninth place starter Greg Ryba. Ryba would hold off a late charge by Austin Kurtzer and take the win in the seven lap main event. Williard was third, Cory Hutchinson was fourth, and Rick Havenridge took fifth.
The SFN Novice Hornets would see points leader Nate Christensen stay perfect on the season scoring his third feature victory in as many nights. Bryan Hull, Justin Soule, Eric Fryman, and Nathan Brown was the remaining top five finishers.
Tonight was the first of six selected nights that the 305 Sprint Cars would take the track. In the small field of five, Rob Kubli would take the win, Steve Hurst was second, Matthew Stelzer was third, Trish Dover was fourth, and Michael Oliver rounded off the field. A special thanks goes out to Josh of Trail Performance Powder Coating, James with Trade Center Automotive and Marc and Lori Dover of 3 D Auto Transport, Inc, for adding additional money to the purse for the Sprint Car class.
Tomorrow night is Kenny Schrader and Kenny Wallace Night. Wallace will race his #36 St. Louis Cardinals modified, while Schrader wheels his #99 Red Baron Late Model. Admission is $15.00 for adults, $12.00 for seniors and students, and children 10 and under are FREE. Also NASCAR NEXTEL Cup regular Carl Edwards is expected to be in attendance.

Egge wins late model special at Red Cloud
By Mike Hughes
RED CLOUD, NE (May 12)—After two consecutive rainouts at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, racing action returned Friday evening, May 12, with a special appearance by the late models.
Bo Egge of Kearney took the lead from Milford’s Eddie Moore on lap 8 of the 20-lap Late Model feature and led the remaining distance to the checkers. Heat one winner Billy Murphy stayed within striking distance of Egge but never did mount a serious challenge. Rusty Miller finished third, followed by Vince Wagoner and Mike Hetrek. Egge won the other heat race.
Jordan Grabouski of Beatrice led wire-to-wire in the caution plagued 20-lap IMCA Modified feature. Jon Thompson of Superior challenged Grabouski several times and even took the lead on lap 7, only to have the caution come out, giving the lead back to Grabouski. Thompson and Lonnie Schriner hounded Grabouski throughout the race, but the two made contact coming out of turn 2 on lap 17, resulting in a caution after Schriner suffered a flat and came to a stop. Schriner had to go to the back of the line on the restart because of having to pit, and race officials also put Thompson to the back for the contact. Grabouski led the remaining distance for the win, followed by Todd Peterson, Tim Watts, Brandon Blochlinger and Dusty Blake. Heat race winners were Grabouski, Craig Corman, Thompson and Blake.
Guide Rock’s Chad Wulf had a big lead in the 20-lap IMCA Stock Car feature, but had to go to the pits on lap 8, giving the lead to Jason McCartney. Josh Hudson of Kensington, KS, Matt Streit and Brett Behrends battled for the runner-up spot until Hudson got by McCartney on lap 17 and held on to score his second win of the season at the 3/8-mile oval. Behrends, Streit, McCartney and Lance Borgman rounded out the top five. Cory Struckhoff and Geoffrey Jermark won the two heat races.
Rocky Zimmerman of Ayr led 14 of the 15 laps in the IMCA Hobby Stock feature, but was passed by Jim Buss of Hastings in the final turn on the final lap. Buss beat Zimmerman to the checkers by less than half a car-length for his second win at Red Cloud this season. Hometown drivers Jared Lewis, Joe McDole and Delbert Selvage completed the top five. Following the race, Buss had his motor claimed by Zach Reicks. McDole and Chase Carraher were victorious in the two heat races.
The Hastings duo of Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe had a clean sweep in the Cruiser division as they won the heat race, then held off Joe & Jacob Krone to win the main event. Josh & Vic Jacobitz finished third.
Racing action returns to The Speed Bowl Friday evening, May 19. Race time is 8:00 p.m.

Thompson and Lonnie Schriner hounded Grabouski throughout the race, but the two made contact coming out of turn 2 on lap 17, resulting in a caution after Schriner suffered a flat and came to a stop. Schriner had to go to the back of the line on the restart because of having to pit, and race officials also put Thompson to the back for the contact. Grabouski led the remaining distance for the win, followed by Todd Peterson, Tim Watts, Brandon Blochlinger and Dusty Blake. Heat race winners were Grabouski, Craig Corman, Thompson and Blake.
Guide Rock’s Chad Wulf had a big lead in the 20-lap IMCA Stock Car feature, but had to go to the pits on lap 8, giving the lead to Jason McCartney. Josh Hudson of Kensington, KS, Matt Streit and Brett Behrends battled for the runner-up spot until Hudson got by McCartney on lap 17 and held on to score his second win of the season at the 3/8-mile oval. Behrends, Streit, McCartney and Lance Borgman rounded out the top five. Cory Struckhoff and Geoffrey Jermark won the two heat races.
Rocky Zimmerman of Ayr led 14 of the 15 laps in the IMCA Hobby Stock feature, but was passed by Jim Buss of Hastings in the final turn on the final lap. Buss beat Zimmerman to the checkers by less than half a car-length for his second win at Red Cloud this season. Hometown drivers Jared Lewis, Joe McDole and Delbert Selvage completed the top five. Following the race, Buss had his motor claimed by Zach Reicks. McDole and Chase Carraher were victorious in the two heat races.
The Hastings duo of Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe had a clean sweep in the Cruiser division as they won the heat race, then held off Joe & Jacob Krone to win the main event. Josh & Vic Jacobitz finished third.
Racing action returns to The Speed Bowl Friday evening, May 19. Race time is 8:00 p.m.

The Pace Lap - Friday May 12, 2006
Great stuff going on this weekend in what should be a series of beautiful nights, weather wise. I apologize if TPL is Eagle-centric this week.
- Lots of specials going on for Moms this week in celebration of Mother's Day. Eagle Raceway is offering free admission to mothers with their children on Saturday night, Wavelink Raceway Park has FREE admission for ladies on Sunday, while Junction Motor Speedway is putting all moms in the drawing for the "best seat in the house" weekly promotion.
- As mentioned previously, Dave Trauernicht is likely going to take on the IMCA Modified gang at Eagle Raceway this weekend, after a confrontation at Beatrice Speedway on May 6 that resulted in him being barred from the track for one week. When Dave's been at Eagle, there always seems to be a race around him. Last year he won perhaps the closest modified race EVER at Eagle Raceway a bumper ahead of Mike Meyer. From the stands, many thought Meyer won, but the transponders in use showed Trauernicht slipped past just 12 thousandths of a second ahead.
- Speaking of transponders, Eagle is going to put them back into use Saturday night to provide some relief for the scorers and to help get race results updated quickly - something that has been a little troublesome for the new crew. The office promises some new features and more updates now that the track is back online with hi-speed Internet.
- Also, Eagle Raceway has added live FM to the announcers so you can listen with your radios on 92.1 FM at the racetrack. That will be great news to people who like to hear the announcers during the races, something that can't be done reliably to the whole track even with Eagle's powerful sound system.
- Like NASCAR? I don't, but I hear it's big with a lot of folks... (hee, hee) But either way it's worth it when you get a chance to see NASCAR Nextel Cup drivers take on the top guns atI-80 on Sunday night as Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace battle against the Super Late Model drivers. It's always fun to see the drivers get back to their roots. The duo will also make an appearance at Little Sunset Speedway during the IKF event this weekend.
- Lincoln's Matt Richards knocked off his first win of the season at I-80 in the Modified division, while fellow Lincolnite Dave Cook topped the Grand National field that night for the first time this year as well.
- The I-80 Crate Late Models are now eligible to run with the Limited Late Model division at Butler County Motorplex. The 'crates can also run with the LLM's at I-80 on Sundays where they're given a weight limit break.
- Is this the year for the Dennis Parker-owned #3 sprint car piloted by Jeff Griffis? After two weeks, with a third-place finish on the opening night and a second-place last Saturday, he now sits atop the Eagle Raceway point standings. There's a lot of season to go but this is a good start for the Council Bluffs, IA duo.
- It was a rough night for Roger Sluka who took a hard ride down the Eagle backstretch after contact with Terry Holliman at the start of the A feature. The car was totaled, but Sluka plans on returning this season. Also, Don Droud Jr took a hard ride (click for photo) in the heat race, with Brad Koehn rolling his modified in the A feature.
- HEADS UP! 'khumpal' reports on DirtDrivers that he had a rear-end stolen from his driveway. It seems that the parts theives are out now that race car parts and trailers full of parts and tools are being left out. Last year, Matt Richards had his trailer stolen only to have someone come across it parked behind a rural house north of Lincoln. Lock your stuff up folks. The meth epidemic is making crooks steal anything someone will give even a few bucks for.

Owning up
In contrast to the usual complaining, finger pointing and Monday-morning quarterbacking on message boards, here's a breath of fresh air even though it came out of a bad situation. Harley Moen was DQ'ed Sunday night in the GN Late Model A feature at I-80 (see post below).
While one could debate how much difference 10 lbs would have made in an otherwise fine run, rules are rules - they were properly enforced and Harley admitted his mistake and issued an apology to all those involved. It can be rough seeing "DQ" posted by your name (and I agree with tracks doing it), but it's also nice to see a driver owning up to their mistake. You've set a good example, Harley.

Message Board - dirtdrivers.com: "I feel compelled to post
this before any of the experts wake up this morning. I personally had an error in judgement last night and had anticipated the race track being heavier than it ended up being (didn't pick up enough mud). I came up 10 lbs light at the scales, and have no one to blame but myself. Trust me, after coming from 16th to 4th, I will beat myself up more about this until next weekend than anyone on here can. I want to personally apologize to everyone on our team, and to our sponsors O'Keefe Elevator (first night on the car), CenPeCo Lubricants, and Malvern Trust and Savings. Nothing was intentional and everything else checked legal on the car after the race. Thanks.
Harley Moen "

SPUNAUGLE TAKES HOME WIN WITH LAST LAP PASS AT BEATRICE SPEEDWAY
By Scott Wisdom
Great Crowd, Great Car Count and Awesome racing headlined the Ron Eaton Memorial Races at Beatrice Speedway with Tony Spunaugle of Blue Rapids, Ks taking advantage of a last lap bobble by Travis Runcie in the IMCA Hobby Stock A Feature to take the lead and hold on to pick up his first win of the 2006 race season. Spunaugle ran second to Runcie the whole feature until a bobble by Runcie in the middle of turn 1 and 2 gave Spunaugle the opportunity to get under him and make the pass and then go on to take the checkered flag, Jesse Vanlaningham, Kyle Vanover, Ryan Roschewski and Josh Houseman rounded out the top 5.

The Pace Lap – Friday May 5, 2006
The Pace Lap – Friday May 5, 2006
What else can you say? It rained. This pace lap will be short.
· Props to Thayer County and their new promoters, Greg “Radar” Bell and Lonnie Bell. They were the only ones in the HRN area to get a race in this past weekend.
· Speaking of Thayer County, they now have an unofficial site, courtesy of Justin Sly. Go to http://members.tripod.com/3speed_sly/ to keep up on Thayer County. Thanks, Justin. And not to take away from the site, but I think it would be a good idea to get a permanent home in cyberspace. You can have umpteen companies host a website with your its URL for under $100 a year. I pay $7.95/month to host HRN. That would be a good sponsorship opportunity for someone…
· Wayne Dake has informed us that his weekly racing TV program Speed Secrets will be available for DOWNLOAD! Now you can watch anytime you want. Go to www.speedsecrets.info for more details
· The 305 Sprint Cars will have an exhibition race Sunday night April 7. All 305's that are registered at the track will be allowed a small practice session during Sunday's intermission. All 305's will race together for 8 laps; they estimate this to add an additional 15 minutes to the intermission.
· Speaking of rain, when I worked at Eagle Raceway I did a little figuring on how many April races got rained out. It was 58%. Shouldn’t surprise anyone, like they say “April showers bring May flowers.” May is here. Give me my flowers and racing (not in that order).
· I say in celebration of Cinco de Mayo, tracks that race on Friday should serve Corona (though I prefer Dos Equis). I think I’ll just have a Bud and a burrito. The house will smell like a fiesta that night…ewww.
· Eagle Raceway and I-80 are both offering admission specials. Eagle is offering the same deal they had last week before the rainout: $2 off admission for adults, and kids 13 & under are free. Drivers who raced on April 22 will also get free pit admission. I-80 is offering anyone who goes to the races Sunday May 7 $3 off admission to next week’s show featuring NASCAR drivers Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace. Quite the gesture to give discounted admission for people that would likely be at the track anyway.
I may add a few things as the day progresses. If not, I’ll see you at the races!

Slow week
It's been a slow week, and I've been a little occupied in some other
pressing issues, but I'll update with some new stuff before week's end.

Sad News
Brad Wright reported this on Dirtdrivers about Travis West. Travis worked on the Wright Racing #27 Sprint car and for Butler County Speedway. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
Please keep our former crew member and good friend Travis West in your thoughts and prayers, as well his boys and family. This weekend Travis had a serious car accident and is in critical condition in intensive care. He's been involved in racing for many years. His dad, Ernie West used to race late models & flyers in the mid 90's, Travis used to pit for us and also worked at Butler County Speedway.
God bless,
Wright Racing #27
