Season champions crowned at Red Cloud
By Mike Hughes
RED CLOUD, NE (Sept. 17, 2006) - The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, wrapped up the
2006 racing season on Sunday evening, September 17. Make-up features for the
IMCA Stock Cars and IMCA Modifieds were ran from a previous rainout, followed by
a complete race program.
In the make-up IMCA Stock Car feature, Lance Borgman of Beatrice won a drag race
with Jason McCartney of Smith Center, KS, out of turn 4 on the final lap to pick
up the win. McCartney led the whole race but lost out at the wire and had to
settle for second. Chad Wulf was third, followed by Josh Hudson and Matt Streit.
Beatrice’s Jordan Grabouski took the lead from Brian Calhoon on lap 14 of the
18-lap make-up IMCA Modified feature to earn his second win of the season at Red
Cloud. Calhoon held on for second, followed by Lonnie Schriner, Clint Homan and
Joby Hanson.
Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe of Hastings led all 8 laps of the Cruiser feature to
pick up their 9th win of the year and the track championship. Ron & Kent Duffy
finished second in the feature race, followed by Joe & Jacob Krone.
Jim Buss of Hastings took the lead at the halfway mark of the 12-lap IMCA Hobby
Stock feature from early leader Rocky Zimmerman of Ayr and appeared to be
heading off for his 8th win of the season. But Buss broke on lap 9, giving the
lead back to Zimmerman who went on to record his second feature win. Joe McDole,
Jerry Hudson, Mike Shriver and Jamie Reiman rounded out the top five. Buss had a
sizeable point lead though and won the points title. Heat race winners were
McDole and Zimmerman.
Eric Rempel of Palmyra took the lead from Chad Wulf on lap 2 of the 14-lap IMCA
Stock Car feature and drove away to the checkers. Heat one winner Cory
Struckhoff finished second, followed by second heat winner Jason McCartney, Matt
Streit and Ron Olson. Josh Hudson of Kensington was crowned the points champion,
securing the title in the make-up feature earlier in the night.
All eyes were on Red Cloud’s Lonnie Schriner and Tim Watts of Beloit, KS, in the
IMCA Modified feature as only four points separated the two at the start of the
race. Schriner grabbed the lead from Lonnie Veteto on lap 4 of the 20-lap race
and was not to be denied as he drove away for his 4th win of the season and the
track championship. Veteto held on to the runner-up spot, followed by Dusty
Blake, Jason Schoenberger and Clint Homan. Blake, Schriner and Watts won the
three heat races.
Mechanics and Powder Puff races completed the final race program.
Track officials would like to thank all the track sponsors, track personnel,
racers and fans for their support during the 2006 season.
