Anderson Wins Cornhusker Night Two - Assumes Point Lead
GREENWOOD, NE (September 24, 2011) - John Anderson jumped to the lead from
the outside pole to score the win in the final night of the Cornhusker
Classic at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, NE. The Lucas Oil MLRA series regular
also took over the point lead in the process. "We just needed to put the
package together," Anderson said of his late season turnaround. "Me and
Vinny are gelling real good. The boss (Team Owner, Greg Junghans) wasn't
here tonight. We'll be glad to call him and let him know how this went."
Anderson was challenged early by 2nd place running Kelly Boen, until Boen
was held up in lapped traffic. "Our car was real maneuverable," stated
Anderson. "I had a couple different lines I could use if I needed to." Jill
George suffered a flat with four laps to go, which forced a restart. Boen
was on Anderson's bumper on the restart, but the Shop Quik #2 was simply the
evening's dominant car. Anderson pulled away just like early in the race.
The win is Anderson's second in Lucas Oil MLRA competition this season.
Jaosn Rauen made a turn four pass on Kelly Boen to finish second. Boen was
third. Heat race wins went to John Hampel, Travis Dickes, John Anderson, Al
Humphrey and Kelly Boen.
The Lucas Oil MLRA will race next weekend in the Larry Phillips Memorial on
Saturday October 1st. This date is a makeup from the September 17th rainout.
