Utter by Simpson for the Win!
GREENWOOD, NE. (July 1 , 2011) - Jason Utter of Columbus Junction, IA
passed Chris Simpson at the checkers to win the Midwest Tri-Fecta at I80
Speedway. Utter went from ninth to first in his heat race to pick up the
pole for the feature event. Utter would take the green flag from the
pole but fall to second early. Chris Simpson would lead nearly the
entire 30 lap Lucas Cattle Company Feature before getting caught in lap
traffic. When the white flag dropped, Utter took advantage of the
traffic slowing Simpson, catching him in turn four. Utter would cross
the finish line just a nose in front of Simpson.
Heat winners included, Chris Spieker, Al Purkey, John Anderson, Travis
Dickes and race winner Jason Utter. B Feature wins went to Al Humphrey
