Egge wins late model special at Red Cloud
By Mike Hughes
RED CLOUD, NE (May 12, 2006) - 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.
