Eagle Raceway 6/2/18

By Greg Soukup

If you looked up ‘Perfect Night for Racing’ in the dictionary, you would see a picture of Saturday night at Eagle Raceway!! Temperatures started out in the low 80’s with lots of sun and a northerly breeze, cooling to the high 60’s by A Feature time.

The large crowd that showed up for Double Down Duel presented by Hormel and Miller Lite were treated to lots of racing thanks to the 160 cars that pulled into the pits. Despite 1 ¾” of rain the night before the track prep crew did their magic and by the time the finales rolled out there were 2 racing lines and plenty of action.

The only major incidents both occurred in the IMCA Racesaver Sprint Car B Feature. On the initial start there was a big mess going into turn 1, resulting in the #28 of Tom Belsky rolling over. On the second try another pile-up happened in turns 3 and 4 that had the 3G of Bill Garrow going up and over. Neither driver was seriously injured, but both cars were badly damaged.

In the IMCA Sport Mod A Feature Dana Deeke’s 36, the 18 of Dion Kovar, Cole Wayman in the 18T and Logan Thomsen’s 9T were the top 4 after the first lap. Thomsen moved up to third on lap 2 but gave the position back to Wayman the next time around. Kovar snagged the lead on lap 6. Deeke spun the next time around and Kovar retired. That put Wayman out front with Thomsen, the 27 of Anthony Kobus and Joe Feyen in the 25X the top 4. Kobus passed Thomsen on the restart and took the lead the next lap. Feyen got past Kobus after another circuit but lost the spot back to him the next lap. Also, the 40 of Shawn Harker moved up to fourth the same lap. Scott Bivens’ S56 stopped in turns 1 & 2 the next time around to bring out the yellow flag. 1 lap after the restart Harker advanced to third and took over the second spot the next lap. Lance Borgman cracked the top 4 in the 76 after another lap was in the books. With 4 circuits remaining Adam Vrbka’s 7V stopped on the back stretch as the caution lights were lit again. Borgman took third on the restart. The final change in the top 4 came on the final lap as Harker made a last-ditch effort for the win and passed Kobus coming out of turn 4 for the victory by a margin of just 33/1000’s of a second!!! Harker, Kobus, Borgman and Feyen ended up the top 4.

This was Harker’s 4^th win out of 5 races this season at Eagle Raceway. “OH BOY! THAT WAS CLOSE!! I knew it was close, and I thought I won but you never know when you’re coming to the checkered flag like that. I was being patient; just trying to work my way through there. Some people don’t see it, that it’s an 18-lap race and they want to win it on the first lap. I just tried to be patient. We had a problem with the car last night and thought we got it fixed, but we had another problem that came up tonight. I wasn’t even sure we could make it out for the heat race, but my guys jumped right in on it and got it fixed in time. I really have to thank my wife again; she was a trooper today. We had that problem and I needed parts from Lincoln. We live in Nebraska City and it’s an hour and 10 minutes away. She didn’t hesitate to jump in the car and head out to get what we needed, even though she had plans of her own. I just can’t thank her enough for doing that” he said. Harker’s sponsors include Speedway Motors, Johnny Saathoff with Jet Racing, Cole with Lakeside Landscaping, VP Heartland Fuels, Tex Cattle, Kyle Vanouver, D-Sign Shop and Patriot Crane and Rigging.

The Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stocks were the next Feature. Lap 1 saw Colby Kaspar’s 39C, the 92 of Don Hall Jr., Tyler Jackson in the 13T and Jeff Watts’ 66 out front. Watts passed Jackson for third on lap 4. Hall fell to the infield on lap 7, moving Watts to second, Jackson back to third and putting the 22 of Nick Beckman fourth. Tyler Saathoff’s 16T stopped at the top of turn 2 the next lap after losing a tire. Beckman spun out on the restart moving the 11B of Brett Saathoff to fourth. Roy Armstrong jumped up to third in the 6R with 8 to go as Jackson again fell back to fourth. Armstrong continued his march to the front, taking over second with 5 to go and moving up to the lead the next lap. 2 laps later Jackson took back the third spot and Dillon Richards put the 24R into fourth the next time around. The final top 4 were Armstrong, Watts, Jackson and Richards.

“The track was a little rough tonight, but I know that Roger did everything that he could with the weather conditions that we had; so, hats off to him. I want to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to Racine and thanks to Michelle also. We’ve been struggling a little bit this year. We’ve had good finishes, but just haven’t made it to victory lane. It was nice to get back there tonight. There’s a lot of fast car here at Eagle and a lot of good drivers. There’s great competition every week, no doubt about it. I want to thank my sponsors; Schmidt Machine, Hummer Contracting and NEAPCO. Thanks to my sister Bonnie, my girlfriend Jo and Ron for helping me in the pits”.

Jeff Schroyer’s 007 held the lead after the first lap of the Runner Freight IJCA Modified A Main with Nate Thompson’s 3T, the 81 of Mike Densberger and Jaxon Saathoff’s 96 rounding out the top 4. Lap 2 saw Dan Nelson put the 94 into fourth. Densberger passed Lineberry for second on lap 3 and grabbed the lead the next time around. Nelson was also on the move moving the third on lap 4 and advancing to second the next lap. Rik Gropp cracked the top 4 with 12 to go in the V45 and moved up to third the next circuit. Johnny Saathoff passed Gropp with 8 to go to put the 96J into fourth. Dustin Andersen looped the 8A in turns 3 & 4 with 5 to go. Jordan Grabouski, who had to transfer through the B Feature took over fourth in his #30 with 4 to go and vaulted into second after 2 more laps. The final change in the top 4 came on the last lap as Gropp again moved up to fourth. The final top 4 were Densberger, Grabouski, Nelson and Gropp.

This was Densberger’s first Eagle Raceway in quite a while and came from the 5^th starting spot. Densberger related “It’s been a long time; almost 3 years now. I knew there was a lot of fast cars behind me, so I wanted to get to the front and keep them behind me. It was a little rough tonight, but after how much rain we got last night you couldn’t ask for a better track. We set the car up for it and she was a rocket tonight”. Densberger’s sponsors include Johnny Saathoff with Jet Racing, Skytop Towers, Miller Farms, Dynamic Drivelines, Gana Trucking and Excavating, Neeman Refuse, Randy Ward and Jackie and the Niederhaus family.

Fred Johnson was first back to the flag stand in the ATV Motorsports IMCA Sport Compact A Main in the #69 followed by the 25 of Josh Johnson. Lap 2 saw Shawn Hein put the 5H into second with the 13J of Josh Young in third and Josh Johnson holding onto fourth. Zach Bohlmeyer passed Johnson on lap 5, making the 24Z fourth, but lost the spot back to Josh Johnson the next time around. Fred Johnson went extremely high with 8 to go moving Hein to first and Young to second. Bohlmeyer jumped to third with 5 to go and Steffen Oaks moved to fourth in the 17. Young snagged the top spot with 3 to go. Hein slowed on the final lap, making the top 4 young, Bohlmeyer, Jeff Creek in the 18X and Oaks. Bohlmeyer was disqualified in tech after the race, moving Creek and Bohlmeyer up and allowing Josh Johnson to take home the fourth spot.

This was Young’s first victory at Eagle Raceway in this his third year in the sport compacts and came from the second row outside on the starting grid. “That was my cousin Shawn and I battling there at the beginning. We always race each other tough; its always good competition. It was fun and a good race. Tonight wasn’t my type of track; I like a muddy track. But, we still got it done. Unfortunately, I ended up blowing my motor on the first corner of the cool-down lap. I want to thank my girlfriend Morgan, my mom and step-dad, Anthony and Ty” he stated. Young’s sponsors include Brown’s Masonry and Tree Spraying, Husker Rehab and Fester’s Bait and Tackle.

The IMCA Racesaver Sprint Cars then rolled onto the track for their finale. Paul Hendrickson’s 19J, the 0 of Chase Weiler, Gene Ackland in the 14G and Neil Nickolite in the 12N led the pack at the end of the first circuit. Ackland got sideways in turn 1 and ended up hopping the Armco guardrail in the air before coming to a halt on the grass inside the fence on all 4 wheels. A complete restart was then called for. The first official lap saw Weiler out front, the 7 of Toby Chapman second, Ryan King’s 93 third and Nickolite fourth. Chapman moved to the lead on lap 2 with King remaining in third and Hendrickson falling to fourth. Joey Danley got past Hendrickson the next, moved up to third after another circuit and grabbed second the next time around. Danley moved to the lead on lap 5 as Stu Snyder put the #5 into fourth. Snyder advanced to third the next lap. Despite heavy traffic Danley held off the field to the checkers. The final top 4 were Danley Chapman, Snyder and Tyler Drueke who took the #12 into fourth with four laps left.

Danley’s victory was his first this season, after suffering  several failures to begin the year. He said “Finally! It’s been a rough start for sure. I lost one motor already and had some other rough luck, but we finally put one together tonight. I initially started 11^th, but that wreck at the beginning helped us out a little bit. We just kind of set sail from there and drove it right to the front. That was some heavy traffic though. I thought I was going to lose the lead in traffic, but evidently I built up enough of a lead and that’s probably the only reason I held on there. I was struggling at the end. When I got out there in clean air that’s what won us the race because once I caught the lapped traffic I couldn’t figure out how to get around them”. Danley’s sponsors include Heiserman Flooring, Nissen Hardwood Floors, Automotive Services, Russell Shoulders Racing Engines, CleanRite Sweeping and Empire Fencing.
