Lonnie Wheatley, DENISON, Iowa (July 31, 2009) – Bronson Maeschen snared his first career American Sprint Car Series feature win by topping Friday night's 25-lap Midwest vs. Northern Plains Regional Challenge feature atop the 5/8-mile Crawford County Speedway.

After sliding up to the first starting position after scheduled pole starter Kaley Gharst coasted to a stop with race-ending woes on the pace lap, Maeschen gunned into the lead at the outset and led all the way to claim the victory.

Maeschen was chased to the line by Jack Dover, who took advantage of a late caution that set up a green-white-checkered run to take runner-up honors away from Rager Phillips. Phillips settled for show honors with Chad Meyer in fourth.

Jason Danley, also atop the ASCS Midwest point charts, put the clamps on the ASCS Northern Plains title by rounding out the top five, with 13th-starter Brad Foster, Ryan Anderson, Chad Humston, Dave Glennon and Casey Friedrichsen completing the top ten.

Phillips and Dover topped Friday night's heat races.

It was an unseasonably cool afternoon and evening at "America's Home Track"
Eagle Raceway as regular season points racing continued, sponsored by Jack
Daniels.

The Valentino's IMCA Hobby Stocks were the first A Feature to be run. Chad
Fegley's 77F led the field as they reached the flag stand on the first lap.
The next three cars in line were the 17J of Danny Lane in second, third
place went to Dan Jackson in the 98 with the 71K of Josh Kennell in fourth.
The running order remained the same as RJ Macku lost the engine in his #1R
and came to a halt in turns 3 & 4 with 8 laps remaining, bringing out a red
flag. As the field was being lined up for the restart both Kennell and
Fegley headed to the pits, Fegley having suffered a flat tire during the
hold-up. That put Lane in first, Jackson second, the 22 of Nick Beckman
third and the 2C of Dave Carter fourth. On the restart lap Rob Brown moved
his 42 into fourth and Carter hit the wall, eventually dropping out. The
yellow flag flew again with 5 to go as Mike Hansen's 94 made contact with
the 92 of Don Hall Jr. and spun to the infield in turn 4. Beckman managed to
get past Jackson on the last lap. Lane held on for the win, Jackson finished
third and although Brown got turned sideways coming to the checkers, he
still managed to cross the line in fourth. Brown's racer rode up onto the
wall and both Hall Jr. and the 6R of Roy Armstrong made hard contact with
him as they finished the race. Brown's car had to be towed to the tech area.

"This was only my third night out here this year, and I was so happy to get
the win. My last win here was last July I think" Lane said. "I wasn't sure I
was going to be here, because we broke a whole bunch of stuff on the front
end last week. I really appreciate Thom Marsh and a lot of other people for
helping me rebuild it this week. Also, a big thanks to all of the fans for
coming out every week, supporting us and rooting us on" he finished. Lane's
sponsors include Casey's Auto Body and Detailing, Speedy Steve's High
Performance, Slechta Drywall, werungame.com, Athey's Painting and Huskers
Poker.

The Monster Energy Drink IMCA Modifieds then rolled onto the track. Justin
Wulf's 86 spun into the pit entrance on the first lap, causing a complete
restart. The 11AA of Ed "Doc" Raines went into the pits to have a flat tire
changed. As the field completed a lap Phil Penney's 21 was in the lead,
followed by Jan Korth in the 42K, Dan Nelson's 94 and the Z00 of Lacey
Tuttle. Nelson moved up to second before they came back to the flag stand,
but Justin Jurgens' 22J stopped in turn 2 with a flat right front tire.
Again Nelson advanced into second on the restart and the next lap Jordan
Grabouski vaulted all the way up into third. Nelson grabbed the point on the
net lap as Johnny Saathoff came up to fourth after transferring from the B
Feature. Saathoff moved to third and Grabouski to second the next time
around. George Haney spun his #12X out in turn two shortly after that,
causing the yellow flag to be displayed. Grabouski went very high in turns 3
& 4 on the restart lap, allowing Saathoff to move up a spot to second. Dylan
Smith snared the fourth position in his #95 with 7 laps to go. As the
leaders encountered lapped traffic with 5 left Nelson still held the lead,
Saathoff was second, Grabouski was third with Smith in fourth. Despite
numerous attempts by Saathoff, Grabouski and Smith the top four remained
unchanged to the finish line.

Nelson stated "I've been so close lately. And with the competition at a heck
of a level here every week it's tough. But it finally paid off; you just
have to keep trying". Nelson's sponsors include BMS Mods, Trauernicht
Drywall and Nebraska Machine & Tool.

The first lap of the Auto Trans Matic IMCA Sport Compact A Main saw Joey
Danley's #14 roll in turns 3 & 4. His racer was pushed to the pits as the
remaining cars lined up for a complete restart. The second attempt at a
green flag lap was halted when Larry Cronin's #5 spun on the backstretch.
The racers fell into two rows as the restart finally held. The 16T of Tyler
Saathoff held the point at the conclusion of the first lap with Mary Lenz's
17 in second, Maynard Kinnersley's 18 third and Garrett Rech holding fourth
in the 55. Trevor Noonan's #66 lost the right front tire and he came to a
stop at the top of turns 3 & 4, eventually causing a red flag after the
leaders finished the first circuit. Rech moved into third on the second
official lap and then into second the next time around. Jack Prall III moved
into fourth on lap 5 and then with 8 to go into third. Rech took the lead
from Saathoff with 7 laps left as Saathoff began to fall back. The last
caution of the race came with 2 to go as a piece of debris had to be picked
up from turn 3. During the stoppage Saathoff retired to the pits with a flat
right front tire. Prall III, Lenz and the 21T of Brandon Thornton finished
behind Rech who garnered his second win of the season at Eagle Raceway and
fifth overall on the year.

Rech was his usual quiet self when his only comment was "It was a good clean
race". Rech's sponsors include Advanced Auto Glass, Pro Drywall, Davey
Tavern, Chrome Envy and Low Budget Customs.

The finale of the night's racing was the Budweiser 360 Sprint A Feature. A
bad start to the race saw the 9J of Mark Schmidt make contact with Bill
Garrow's 3G in turn 1 of the first lap, sending Garrow hard into the rail in
turn 2. Roger Sluka's X29 could not avoid Garrow and slid into him. Both
cars were taken to the pits. The 21 of Ryan Kitchen was sent back 1 row as
the racers tried again. Doug Lovegrove led the first complete lap in the 44
as Adam Gullion's 96KX, the 23 of Terry Holliman and Kitchen fell in behind
him. Gullion got around Lovegrove on lap 2. The 28 of Ken Klabunde came to a
rest against one of the infield tires on lap 4 after spinning. Holliman got
past Lovegrove on the fourth circuit and the next time around Trevor
Grossenbacher grabbed fourth in his 35AB. Grossenbacher's night came to an
end on lap 7 as he hooked a rut in turn 1 and flipped, coming to a rest on
his wheels in turn 2. Mike Boston's 88 also received damage after contact
with the 99C of Nick Clifford. Both Boston and Clifford headed to the pits
with only Clifford being able to make repairs and return to the track after
the red was turned off. As racing resumed Gullion was leading followed by
Holliman, Lovegrove and Kitchen.Tige Jensen had found something on the
bottom groove of the track in his #71 and was advancing quickly down there,
jumping into third with 13 laps left with the 4J of Josh Riggins following
him into the fourth spot as Lovegrove pulled to the infield. Holliman moved
around Gullion on the next lap. With 3 more laps completed Jensen also
passed Gullion, but the 17 of Gage Dorr stopped in turns 3 & 4. That made
the running order Holliman, Gullion, Jensen and Riggins. On the restart lap
John Klabunde passed Riggins for fourth. With 8 to go Jensen continued
running the bottom of the track and moved under Holliman for the lead. From
there to the checkers it was a battle of 2 different grooves. Jensen hugging
the bottom and Holliman continuing to try and make the cushion work to his
advantage. Jensen maintained his lead for the win with Holliman, Gullion and
Riggins rounding out the top four after Riggins overtook Klabunde at the
end.

Jensen was beaming as he started the interview by saying "I've been waiting
SO long to have you interview me for my first win". Prior to tonight,
Jensen's highest finish was second place, which he managed 4 times since he
started racing in 2002. He continued by stating "I'm so glad that we put
this new car together after totaling our other one when the World of Outlaws
was here two weeks ago. It was a bare frame Monday in fact". When asked
about advancing so well in the bottom groove, Jensen related "We planned on
running the top, and set up for that. But, I tried the bottom and it was so
good I just stayed there. It was a good thing that I ran so well there,
because I lost my brakes after that last red". He concluded the interview by
saying "A big thanks to my car owners; Brian Bailey, and Gary and Adam
Grossenbacher and to Richards Machine for the great horsepower". Tige's
other sponsors include Horizon Bank, Accent Landscapes, Knight Plumbing and
JB Lawn & Sod.

Next week at Eagle Raceway is the annual "Kid's Night", presented by

(Greenwood, Ne., 07/19/09) Spec Late Model Racing invaded I-80 Speedway on
Sunday night and there was a bounty of $500 for the driver who could beat
Kyle Berck. Berck had been a perfect 6 for 6 in races he competed in. Berck
also was offered a $1,000 bonus if he could win from the 20th starting
position. Berck took that challenge.

17 year old Jase Kaser took the lead at the drop of the green for the 25 lap
main event. But 19 year old Justin Zeitner, after starting 7th in the field,
charged to 2nd by lap 5 and we had a battle between the 2 young racers until
lap 12 when Zeitner took command. His cousin Corey followed him in 2nd.
Meanwhile Berck was working his way through the pack. Justin's dad Leon took
over 2nd on lap 16. But by lap 17 Berck was in 3rd. It was a 3 car battle
from there and several yellow flags set up a 2 lap dash to the finish. With
1 lap left Berck passed Leon and set his sights on Justin. While Justin was
working the low side of the track Berck had a slight advantage up high.
Berck tried to get around Zeitner on the last lap, but the young Zeitner
held off the veteran. Leon Zeitner finished 3rd ahead of his nephew Corey
and Dave Livingston. For Justin it was the biggest win of his young career.

The IMCA Modified Feature saw Larry Robinson Jr. take the early lead over
Dustin Andersen. But Central Region point leader Dylan Smith was on the move
and into 2nd on lap 8. On lap 9 he grabbed the lead and went on to win over
Andersen, Robinson, Nick Carlson and Scott Carlson. Smith and Andersen were
heat race winners.

The IMCA Sports Mod feature saw Dustin Thayer take the early lead over Jason
Fusselman. Steve Swarthout took over 2nd on lap 3. But Harlan's Chad Dills
was hard charging from his 11th starting position and took the lead on lap
4. Jesse Sobbing moved up to challenge Dills on lap 8 and the 2 ran side by
side for several laps. But Dills was able to hold off Sobbing for his 2nd
win of the year. Cory Hutchison, Kyle Harpster and Swarthout rounded out the
top 5.

The Sport Compacts only ran about 4 laps of their feature due to many yellow
flags and a time limit. But winning this feature was point leader Pete Fink
Jr. in a borrowed car. Joe Baker finished a close 2nd ahead of Brett Smith,
Jake McCloud and Jamie Spanel.

Next Sunday the MLRA/NCRA Late Models will come calling once again along
with the NASCAR Late Models and Pro-ams. The Late Models and Pro-ams will
run double features.

Hot laps are at 5:30 with racing getting underway at 5:55.

(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.

(Greenwood, Ne. 07/13/09) On Carl Edwards night at the races Billy Leighton
Jr. and Jason Hobscheidt were winners of the dual NASCAR Late Model
features.

In the first feature Marc Peters won the battle for the early lead with
Jacob Brown. But Billy Leighton Jr. was on the move and took over the lead
on lap 7. From there on out it was all Leighton as the battle continued
behind him for 2nd thru 5th. Track point leader Matt Buller won this 3 car
battle for 2nd over Micah Brown, Todd Hipnar and Peters. Heat race winners
were Leighton, Buller and Clint Benson while Brad Soll won the B-Feature.
The top 12 were inverted for the start of the 2nd feature.

The 2nd 25 lap feature saw Kenny Edwards grab the early lead. But he became
involved in a 5 car battle for that lead with Dave Doll, Andrew Kosiski,
Jason Hobscheidt and Tom Svoboda. Doll took the lead on lap 3 and stayed
there til lap 8 when Kosiski grabbed the lead. From there on out it was a 3
car battle for the lead between Kosiski, Hobscheidt and Doll. Hobscheidt
took the lead on lap 12 and held off Kosiski and Doll the rest of the way
for his 1st feature win of the season. Leighton was involved in a accident
with Todd Hipnar early in the race and had to restart at the back of the
field. But he charged through the field and got 4th at the finish ahead of
Edwards.

Carl Edwards did not race on this visit to I-80, but gave rides to some
lucky fans in the 2 seater car. And afterwards signed autographs for the
crowd.

The IMCA Modified feature was a heck of a race. Larry Robinson Jr. took the
early lead from the pole starting position and stayed there til lap 3 when
Stacey Wilhelm passed him. Dylan Smith took the lead on lap 4. Ricky "The
Racer" Stephan moved into 2nd on lap 8 and did his best to chase Smith. Both
drivers were staying close to the guard rail on the track and Stephan could
not get past Smith and had to settle for 2nd. Point leader Johnny Saathoff
went to the pits on a lap 7 yellow with a flat tire and had to restart at
the rear. And then he proceeded to show why he is nicknamed "The Jet" making
his way back to 6th at the finish.

The Crate Late Model feature had Carl Edwards Sr. driving the #96 car of
Tony Leonardo. He started 6th in the 6 car field and could not catch early
leader Steven Saunders. Saunders started 3rd in the field and quickly found
his way to the front. This was a 12 lap feature and with no restarts Edwards
could not reel Saunders in.

The Pro-am feature had Terry Cleveland taking the lead at the drop of the
green flag with Ray Dessel and Greg Cooper following him. Dessel took the
lead on lap 6. But point leader Rick Negrete was making his move up from the
12th starting spot grabbing the lead on lap 10. Jeff Joldersma and Scotty
Hartman kept things close. Joldersma suffered mechanical woes with 1 lap
left and Hartman came home 2nd ahead of Cooper, Dessel and Shawn Bulin.

(Greenwood, Ne., 06/28/2009) A record crowd on Fan Appreciation Night saw
some action packed racing at I-80 Speedway as Jesse Sobbing and Chad Dills
won the IMCA Sports Mod Twin features, Alex Fink and Jake McCloud won the
IMCA Sports Compact Twin features, Tyler Zander won the IMCA Crate Late
Model Feature, Dave Doll won the NASCAR Late Nodel feature  and Rick Negrete
won the Pro-am feature.
   
In Sports Mod feature 1, it took Jesse Sobbing just 2 laps to get to the
front taking the lead when Ed McConnell spun out in turn 2. Rick Rohr had a
strong 2nd place finish but was disqualified for using an illegal rearend.
Kyle Harpster then inherited 2nd place ahead of Jeremy Longmeyer.
In the 2nd Sports Mod feature Denny Berghahn Jr took the early lead only to
lose it on the back chute to Dennis Cook. Chad Dills, making the long trip
from Harlan, Iowa, grabbed the lead on lap 3 and stayed out front as point
leader Robert Tippery fought with Cook for 2nd place. At the finish it was
Tippery in 2nd and Cook in 3rd.
    
In the Crate Late Model feature Shevi Collins took the early lead only to
lose it on lap 3 to Tyler Zander. Zander went on to record his 1st career
feature win.
   
In Sports Compact feature 1 Mark Lamer took the early lead. Joe Baker took
the lead on lap 2 and Pete Fink Jr. took over on lap 3. In the end it was
another stirring battle between the Fink brothers, but this time Alex
prevailed with Pete in 2nd.
   
In Sports Compact feature 2 Dave Christensen took the early lead and then
swapped it with Ole Olsen. Christensen took the lead back on lap 4 and
stayed there the rest of the way. But in the Tech area he refused a claim on
his car and was disqualified giving the win to 2nd generation driver Jake
McCloud.
    
In the NASCAR Late Model feature Brad Soll grabbed the early lead but lost
it before one lap was complete to Jason Hobscheidt. The battle behind
Hobscheidt intensified as Andrew Kosiski, Dave Cook,, Soll, Kent Schimenti
and Todd Hipnar battled for 2nd place. Restarts played a key role in this
race as Dave Doll worked his way to the front. Doll took the lead on lap 22
of the 25 lap feature. Hobscheidt held on to 2nd ahead of Cook, Kosiski and
Schimenti. For Schimenti it was his best finish of the year.
    
In the Pro-am feature Mark Zordel jumped to the early lead and held it til
lap 6 when Rick Negrete took over. Negrete then rolled to his first win of
the year over Adam Armstrong, Scotty Hartman, Chad Sanders, and the "Racing
Md." Nick Steier. Negrete is the defending point champion and is currently
leading this years point standings.

Take a great crowd, add in a great car count and even greater racing and you have Freedom Fest, sponsored by Jack Daniels at “America’s Home Track” Eagle Raceway Saturday evening as we honored all military, fire & rescue and police personnel.

There was one minor incident in the heat races when Jeremy Noonan got turned coming out of turn 4 and ended up with an easy rollover and then backed into the front stretch wall.

The first lap of the Monster IMCA Modified Feature race was called back when Doug Deterding’s #13 and another car came to a halt in turns 1 & 2, bringing out the caution. As the first official lap was completed Justin Jurgens’ 22J, Bob Ruisinger in the 7, the S56 of Scott Bivens, the 27 of Clint Homan and Lance Borgman’s 76 were the top 5. The second lap saw Clint Homan spin out in turn 2 and Dan Nelson’s 94 get hooked to the 18 of Terry Richards and they came to a halt on the back stretch. Stacey Wilhelm used the restart to jump up to fourth. The next time around Johnny Saathoff’s 96J vaulted all the way up to the 3rd spot right behind Bivens who had moved up to second as Wilhelm also got around Ruisinger. Saathoff moved past Bivens on the next circuit, only to come to a halt in turn four with rear suspension problems. When Saathoff went to the pits it allowed Jordan Grabouski to advance to 4th. Dylan Smith was the next to make a big move as he leapfrogged both Grabouski and Wilhelm to garner third with Grabouski tailing him around Wilhelm to retain fourth. With 10 laps left Jurgens suffered a flat right rear tire and brought out the yellow flag. He hurried into the pits and was able to rejoin the pack at the rear before the green flew again. Grabouski needed two laps before taking second from Bivens as Smith also advanced to grab the lead. Borgman remained in fourth, setting the stage for the hardest fought contest of the race. With Bivens running high and Borgman taking the low line the two fought tooth and nail all the way to the checkers, neither one moving out of his line and swapping the two positions repeatedly. With two to go Ruisinger and Jurgens came to a stop in turn 1, resulting in Jurgens being black-flagged for his second stoppage of the action. The top four spots were unchanged at the finish with Smith winning, Grabouski second, Bivens taking third narrowly and Borgman having to settle for fourth. Smith and Grabouski are now tied for the points lead.

“The track was really different tonight, dry slick in one & two and tacky in three and four. I had to muscle the car in 3 & 4 to let it work in 1 & 2. I missed a few crashes and worked my way to the front, holding off Grabouski for the win” Dylan said. Dylan’s sponsors include Eckley Racing Engines, Jet Racing, Active Life Family Chiropractic. “I want to say thanks to Mike & Lisa Goecke my car owners, Kyle Schamp, and especially Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.

The Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stocks were up next. Keith Dragoo lead lap 1 in his 77D with Josh Kennell’s 71K second, Joe Ryan’s 32 third and the 33 of Eric Hanson rounding out the top four. On the second lap Kennell took the lead, Hanson grabbed second and Roy Armstrong moved to third in his 6R. Lap three saw Nick Beckman’s 22 move up to fourth. The caution was displayed on lap 5 when Murray Haugen’s #8 spun out in turn two. Armstrong took advantage of the racers being bunched up to take over second on the restart lap and then snagged the lead the next time around. He and Kennell swapped positions for quite awhile before Armstrong managed to take a slight lead. There were 6 laps left when Hanson grabbed second and Beckman came up to third the next lap. There were 4 circuits remaining when the B4 of Ben Becher spun in turn 2. The order at that time was Armstrong, Hanson, Beckman and Kennell. Beckman moved up to second with 2 laps left as RJ Macku moved into 4th. After the white flag flew Dragoo spun out in 2 causing a green/white/checkered finish. On the last lap Macku came up to finish third. The finish saw Armstrong with the victory, Beckman in second, Macku in third and Hanson fourth. As the top 4 entered the tech area Derick Noonan claimed Armstrong’s engine. In order to keep the win and the points Armstrong accepted the claim.

“I’ve had bad luck the last two weeks here, not even finishing the A, and I figured that I had turned my luck around until I got claimed. When I headed here tonight I just wanted to finish the race, but I got a couple of breaks and got to the front” Armstrong stated. He concluded the interview by saying “I want to thank the Tuttle bunch for helping me out every week and the Borgman crew too. I was here alone tonight, but my friends here at the track really helped me out”. Armstrong’s only sponsors are his sister Bonnie and her friend Diane.

As the Auto Trans Matic IMCA Sport Compacts turned their first lap the right front tire came off of a racecar, forcing a complete restart. The 32J of Jeff Davis was the first to lead a lap with the 3s of Ricky Harris in second and Garrett Rech’s 55 in third. Rech grabbed the point on lap two. As the pack came around into the first turn on lap three Jack Prall III’s 45 was the meat in the middle of the sandwich as he had Joey Danley’s 14 outside of him and Harris was underneath him. All three cars came to a halt after Prall was forced up onto two wheels and Harris hit the wall hard. That made the running order Rech, Davis and Adam Vrbka’s 7V in third. With 11 laps left Vrbka moved past Davis and the next time around Elliot Halvorsen grabbed fourth. One more lap was in the books when Vrbka’s steering went out on him as he collected Rech. Vrbka’s racer hit the wall very hard and he left behind the tow truck with Rech joining him in the pits. Davis was in first, Halvorsen second, Mary Lenz’s 17 third and the 95C of Bob Cigelman in fourth. John Sedlacek snagged the fourth position with 7 left and Halvorsen took the lead on the next lap. At the finish it was Halvorsen, Davis, Lenz and Sedlachek.

“I want to thank my dad for helping me out every weekend, Ronnie Schwartman for getting me a new car and all of my family and friends for coming out every weekend. Also, thanks to my Grandma and Grandpa for helping build Eagle Raceway so we can have fun here, and Roger for keeping it open and doing a super job with it” Elliot related. Elliot’s sponsors are JBH Ag and the Corner Cafe.

Trevor Grossenbacher’s 35AB was the first Budweiser 360 Sprint Car back to the flag in the final A Feature followed by John Klabunde’s 77, the 8B of Bobby Becker and the 44 of Doug Lovegrove. Becker got around Klabunde on lap two and grabbed second. On lap 6 Mike Boston used the high side of the track in the #88 sprinter to pass Lovegrove. On lap 7 Adam Gullion spun the 96KX to the inside of turn 2 and the yellow flag flew. 2 laps later Boston moved up to third and then to second the next time around with Brad Krutz’s 91 following him into third. Grossenbacher and Boston were both flying around the top in turns 1 & 2 while Krutz used the bottom of the track to eventually get around Boston. Both the 35AB and the 88 were running so close to the wall in the first 2 corners that they bounced off of it several times and both were sucked into it coming around turn 2 but suffered only minor damage. Krutz used Boston’s misstep to grab second with 5 laps left, but Boston managed to nip him at the flag stand as the checkered flag flew. The top 4 at the finish were Grossenbacher, Boston, Krutz and Becker.

“This was my first 360 sprint car win, and I’m dedicating it to my friend Anthony Buis who passed away last October; his initials are the AB in my car number” Trevor said. “I knew Boston was behind me, and I knew I couldn’t let what happened last week happen again. I hit the wall in two several times, and the one time I hit it really hard and got sucked into it and ran against it until the backstretch it actually tore out a piece of the wheel lock on my right rear. I really wasn’t sure the car was going to hold together, and couldn’t believe that my right rear tire didn’t end up going flat” he continued. He finished the interview by stating “I want to thank my family and all of those others who supported me. Without them, racing here and winning just wouldn’t be possible”. Trevor’s sponsors include Stop ‘N Shop, GMS Wings, J & M Technologies and Agee Automotive.

After all of the Features were completed, the fans and racers were treated to one of the finest fireworks displays seen at Eagle in many years.

By Greg Soukup

June 14th, 2009

Saturday night was “Fan with a can” night at “America’s Home Track” Eagle Raceway, and the track was lightning quick thanks to the diligence of Eagle’s track prep crew following yesterday’s rains. As a testament to that Trevor Grossenbacher broke the track record set just 1 week before by Tige JensEn. Grossenbacher turned a lap on the 1/3-mile high banks in 11.815 seconds in the first Budweiser 360 sprint heat.

Mike Simpson was unable to back up his win the previous evening at Beatrice as his night ended when his #63 IMCA Sport Compact rolled in turn 2 during his B Feature.

The first A Feature saw the Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stocks competing. Eric Hanson was at the point in his #33 at the end of the first lap followed by the 23 of Mark McKinney, Josh Kennell’s 71K and RJ Macku’s 1R. The first of 4 yellow flags flew on lap 2 when the 6B of Travis Burger stopped on the entrance road to the pits. Kennell was sent to the rear of the field for having spun McKinney to the infield that lap. Hanson was still in first with Macku in second, Joe Ryan’s 32 in third and the 94 of Mike Hansen in fourth. On lap 6 Dan Jackson’s 98 slowed to stop in turn 1 and the yellow flag was displayed, but not before Kevin Anderson moved up to the fourth spot in his #22K. Anderson overtook Ryan on the restart. There was another yellow as a car stopped sideways in turn 2 on lap 9. With 6 laps left Jesse Vanlaningham came up to fourth in his #72. The next lap the 12 of Dan Noonan brought out the last yellow of the race when his #12 stopped on the entrance road to the pits. Despite heated battles for the top four positions, they remained unchanged to the finish. Hanson managed to hold the lead to the checkers with Macku, Anderson and Vanlaningham close behind. Hanson had to be taken to the tech area as he lost a tire on the cool-down lap.

Hanson could not be located for an interview.

The Monster IMCA Modifieds were next on the track. Dustin Anderson’s 8A was first back to the flag stand with the S56 of Scott Bivens, Lance Borgman’s 76 and Dan Nelson in the 94 in hot pursuit. Lap 3 saw Bivens snare the lead and Nelson move up to third. The next circuit Borgman overtook Nelson, only to relinquish the spot back to Nelson on lap 6. Bob Zoubek also passed Borgman that lap to grab fourth. Dylan Smith shot past both Borgman and Zoubek on lap 7, making the running order Bivens, Anderson, Smith and Nelson. The race’s first caution happened on lap 9 as the 07 of Tony Orender spun in turns 1 & 2. Smith used the restart to grab second and then went past Bivens for the lead the next time around. Zoubek moved up to third on the next lap and Jordan Grabouski advanced to fourth the lap after. Doug Deterding’s 13 lost a wheel & tire on the front stretch with 6 to go and the yellow flag was out again. Zoubek and Grabouski both moved up a spot on the restart. Nelson got back to fourth with 5 laps left. The yellow came out again with 3 to go as the 16B of Randy Brown, Mike Boston in the 30B and Justin Wulf’s 86 spun coming out of turn #4. Grabouski moved around Zoubek on the restart lap and the top 4 remained unchanged to the checkers.

“I just missed all the spins and wrecks and moved up to the front slowly. I managed to hold on for the win even though my right upper A-arm broke with just a few laps left. Thanks for this win go to Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad, my car owners Mike & Lisa Goecke, Damian & Joni and all of my sponsors” Dylan said. Dylan concluded the interview by relating “Roger and the crew gave us another good, fast, racy track tonight”. Dylan’s sponsors include Jet Racing, Active Life Family Chiropractic, Marquardt Plumbing, Cappy’s Hot Spot Bar and Grill, KRE Enterprises and Eckley Racing Engines.

The Auto Trans Matic IMCA Sport Compacts took to the track next. John Irvine’s 97 held the lead on the first lap, Jeff Davis’ 32 was in second and Brandon Thornton’s 21T and the 18K of Barry Kinnersley rounded out the top 4. Thornton, Kinnersley and Matt Moyer’s 29 all passed Davis on lap 2, moving up to 2nd through 4th. Bob Cigelman’s 95C stopped in turn 2 on the 3rd lap for the first caution. Elliot Halvorsen’s 22 spun in turn 2 with 12 laps left. After the laps reverted it took Thornton just 2 laps to snare the point as Jeremy Noonan flew up to fourth in the 33. 2 laps later Garrett Rech’s #55 hit the turn 1 wall and the yellow came out again. Noonan passed Kinnersley for third with 10 to go and Kinnersley fell from the top 4 two laps later when Joey Danley advanced his #14 to fourth. With 5 to go Noonan got around Irvine for second and Danley also passed Irvine 2 laps later. At the finish it was Thornton, Noonan, Danley and Irvine. Noonan was disqualified after the IMCA techs found that he did not have 4 matching wheels during the post-race inspection. The DQ moved Kinnersley up to fourth.

“I need to thank my wife and kids first of all. My son can’t think of much besides that big check. It’s nice to get things together after flipping early in the year and then missing the feature the last 2 weeks” Brandon related. “Also, I want to thank Roger and the crew for giving us a great track to race on tonight” he continued. When asked about sponsors Brandon stated “I don’t have any, but in case there’s anyone out there looking to sponsor a car we’d be thrilled to have them”.

The A Main for the Budweiser 360 Sprints finished out the evening’s festivities. The racing was brought to a quick halt shortly after the green when the red flag flew after Bobby Becker’s 8B got together with the 3 of Jeff Griffis coming to the flag stand, resulting in Griffis flipping along the front stretch wall. Becker’s car was able to be pushed to his pit, but Griffis’ racer was damaged too severely to continue. Gage Dorr in the 17, Trevor Grossenbacher’s 35, Ken Klabunde’s 28 and the 14G of Gene Acklund held the top 4 spots. The action was again halted on the restarted lap 2 when Jay Jordan spun the 19J to the infield in turn 2. Grossenbacher began his charge when he passed Dorr on the restart and set sail, moving to nearly a straightaway lead. Lap 6 saw Dan Wayman’s #5 get high going into turn 1 and hit the wall hard, resulting in a rollover. Grossenbacher came around as Wayman’s sprinter came to a stop on it’s wheels, but was unable to stop before hitting Wayman. The new track record holder’s sprinter was damaged too severely to be repaired and he was through for the evening. That put Dorr back in the lead with Klabunde second, Acklund third and the 23R of Tadd Holliman in fourth. Jack Dover had come up from his 6th row starting position to grab fourth from Holliman with 12 to go. Dover advanced to third the next lap and then to 2nd the next time around. It took Dover only 2 more laps to grab the lead from Dorr, a lead which he would not relinquish to the end of the race. The final finish was Dover, Klabunde, the 88 of Mike Boston who had to come through the B and Dorr.

“Knoxville had a lot of rain yesterday, so we made Eagle our back-up plan in case they rained out and they did. My beautiful mother’s birthday is tomorrow, and all she wanted for a present was to see me win tonight. I guess I didn’t have much choice but to give her what she wanted” Jack said. He concluded by stating “I owe this win to my crew, Alex Johnson and Greg McCormick. And I need to thank my mom and dad again, for making all of this possible”. Jack’s sponsors include Trail Performance, Thorpe’s Body Shop, Home Pride, ATV Motorsports, Eckley Racing Engines and Eagle Chassis.

A Father’s Day Tribute will be held next Saturday night at Eagle with a present to the first 300 fathers through the front gate. There will also be spectator drags at intermission. Pits open at 4:00 with the front gate swinging open at 5:30 and racing at 7:00. The Auto Trans Matic IMCA Sport Compacts, Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stocks and Budweiser 360 sprints will be racing.

Lonnie Wheatley, McCOOL JUNCTION, Neb. (May 22, 2009) – Shane Stewart took full advantage of one last tune-up for this weekend's $10,000-to-win Steve King Memorial in Kansas by racing to victory lane in Friday night's 25-lap American Sprint Car Series Midwest Region feature at Junction Motor Speedway.

The current Lucas Oil ASCS Sprint Car Dirt Series presented by K&N Filters points leader raced past Ryan Roberts on the sixth round and led the rest of the way aboard Paul Silva's Wesmar-powered ProBilt Construction/Palmer Properties No. 57 A.R.T.

"I have to give it to Paul (Silva), he made the right call on the setup," Stewart commented in victory lane. "We figured it might get harder to pass later in the race so we had to get out front as quick as possible."

And, after gridding the field outside the second row, it didn't take the Oklahoma native long.

When pole starter Brian Brown bobbled at the drop of the green flag, outside front row starter Ryan Roberts gunned into the lead with Stewart battling into second soon after and setting his sights on the leader, who had fled to a six car-length lead.

Stewart closed in on Roberts by the fifth round and charged by for the lead exiting turn two on the sixth lap. After entering lapped traffic two rounds later, Stewart slipped away to nearly a straightaway advantage as Roberts, Brown and Don Droud, Jr., diced for position in his wake.

Jonathan Cornell soon joined the fray for runner-up honors, only to pop a right rear tire with 15 laps in the books after climbing to fourth. Four laps later, Brown surrendered a podium position after suffering a similar malady.

Roberts kept Stewart within striking distance on the final restarts, including a green-white-checkered dash to the strip after Jason Danley looped it in turn two, but was unable to mount a serious bid for the win.

Stewart flashed under the checkered flag with a four car-length advantage over Roberts, with Gregg Bakker taking the show position. Droud, Jr., crossed the stripe fourth, with Jack Dover rounding out the top five.

Lee Grosz was sixth, with Mike Chadd, Patrick Bourke, Eric Lutz and Johnn Cressman completing the top ten.

Droud, Roberts and Chad Humston topped heat race action for the 26-car field, with Cressman winning the "B" Main.

Lonnie Wheatley, GREENWOOD, Neb. (May 21, 2009) – Chad Humston of Giltner, NE, kicked off the Memorial Day weekend of racing festivities for the American Sprint Car Series by racing from six rows deep to top Thursday night's 25-lap ASCS Midwest Region main event at Nebraska Raceway Park's I-80 Speedway.

Charging from eleventh, the 22-year-old raced into the lead on the 12th round aboard the Mark Burch Motorsports Engler Tool & Machine No. 1m Wolfweld and never looked back en route to his first career ASCS triumph.

While Humston began his drive from mid-pack, it was pole starter Ryan Anderson gunning into the lead at the drop of the green flag. The Charter Oak, IA, shoe paced the field for the initial handful of circuits before Brian Brown slid into the lead on a lap six restart.

Brown soon had company for the point when Don Droud, Jr., battled past Anderson for second and then slid by Brown for the lead to complete the eleventh lap. But it was short-lived, as Humston hooked up on the topside of the 4/10-mile oval on the lap six restart and blitzed from ninth all the way into the lead by the 12th round.

Humston waded through a pair of cautions over the final seven laps, fending off sliders on the restarts and then checking out to secure the win over the final five lap charge to the stripe.

Behind him, Droud and Brown slid back and forth for position in virtually every corner with Droud getting the nod for runner-up honors at the stripe. Brown settled for the show position, with two-time ASCS Northern Plains champion Lee Grosz and Missouri's Jonathan Cornell rounding out the top five.

Tenth-row starters Stuart Snyder and Mike Chadd raced to sixth and seventh, respectively, with Johnn Cressman, Bobby Becker and Jason Danley completing the top ten.

After advancing from "B" Main competition, current Lucas Oil ASCS National points leader Shane Stewart had charged from 18th to fourth when he looped it in turn four on the 21st lap after slight contact with Brian Brown. Stewart's night was done when he was clipped by Cornell, who then wrestled his way to the checkered flag minus a nose wing over the final five laps.

Droud, Tige Jensen, Cornell and Danley topped heat race action for the 33-car field, with Austin McCarl winning the 12-lap "B" Main.

The 21-year-old Sedalia, MO, shoe advanced from the third row to take the lead away from early leader Wade Nygaard en route to victory lane aboard Kiowa Line Builders No. 28 entry.

Cornell took the checkered flag in front of Nygaard, who paced the opening ten rounds, with two-time ASCS Northern Plains champion Lee Grosz, 13th-starter Lou Kennedy, Jr., and Billy Alley rounding out the top five.

McCOOL JUNCTION, Neb. (March 6) – So far so good for Tommy Myer.

Up against a stout field of 55 entries for the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour season opener Friday night at the Junction Motor Speedway, Myer came in as one of the hottest drivers in the country.

Last weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway dirt track, Myer turned his first laps in a brand new all-black GRT Modified for car owners Chris and Linda Noel. He christened his new ride by winning his heat from the 14th starting spot, then finished second and fourth, respectively, in the weekend's two main events.

Any mention of “beginner's luck” or “fluke” was thrown out the window Friday night as Myer delivered a good old-fashioned butt-whooping on a talent-laden main event in the 6th Annual Nebraska Spring Thaw.

Dustin Boney may have been the only driver on the 26-car starting grid that had anything for Myer. After starting fourth, Boney drove around polesitter Corey Dripps to lead the first of 30 laps on the high-banked 3/8-mile clay oval.

Boney led the first 17 laps and was increasing the gap between himself and Jason Friesen before suddenly dropping out of the race with a broken fan belt.

Friesen led the next three laps before Myer, who started 18th, took the lead on lap 21. Once in front, Myer maneuvered his way through lapped traffic and led the final nine laps going away.

Myer is second on the USMTS all-time wins list behind Kelly Shryock, but Friday's $2,000 victory was his first since Aug. 31, 2007.

After just 15 starts in a winless season last year, Myer is “back in black” in 2009 with hopes of contending for the USMTS Casey's General Stores National Championship.

“We plan to run the entire series this year,” said the 43-year-old from Blooming Prairie, Minn. “So far, so good. Hopefully we can keep it up for a while longer and be in good position when the Hunt starts.”

Continuing where he left off in December with a win at the Texas Winter Nationals at Houston Raceway Park, Zack VanderBeek also turned in a crowd-pleasing performance as he raced from 16th at the start to a runner-up finish, getting by Friesen with one lap to go in the main event.

Scott Green took fourth, and Shryock came from 11th to finish fifth. Dripps, Jon Tesch, Ken Schrader, David Holder and Don Eischens rounded out the top-10 finishers.

Myer was the PBM Performance Products Hard Charger of the race, passing 17 cars in 30 laps.

The Ruter Farms Long Tow Award went to Jake Bitker of Halstad, Minn., who traveled 569.3 miles (one way) to McCool Junction, Neb.

With the first race in he books, Myer leads the Great Plains Region points over VanderBeek (118 to 109), followed by Friesen (94), Tesch (91), Shryock (90), Green (89), Schrader (82), Dripps (81), Dereck Ramirez (71) and Rich Lewerke (70).

In the DandyLand Farms Rookie of the Year points, Eischens leads Lewerke by two markers (25 to 23), followed by Andrew Gordon (21) and a five-way tie for fourth between Mike Albertsen, Arne Anderson, Dan DeMey, Jesse Dennis and Anthony Mann with 10 points each.

Thanks to Myer's victory, Sput’s Racing Engines is back atop the COMP Cams Engine Builder of the Year standings while GRT Race Cars claims the initial top spot in the USMTS Chassis Builders Championship.

Due to extreme cold and wind, plus the threat of rain and snow during the day, officials from the Junction Motor Speedway and the USMTS have canceled the show for Saturday, March 7. With more of the same forecasted for Sunday, there will be no rain date.

The USMTS Casey's General Stores National Tour now heads to the Caney Valley Speedway in Caney, Kan., for the first time ever on Friday, March 13, then to the Humboldt Speedway in Humboldt, Kan., on Saturday, March 14, for the 4th Annual Havoc at The Hummer. The pair of $2,000-to-win shows will kick off the points battle in the Bear Tire Mo-Kan Region.
