Danny Lasoski wins the Nebraska Cup

by: Bryan Hulbert

EAGLE, Neb. (September 8, 2013) Slide jobs was the word of the night at Eagle Raceway with the Speedway Motors Midwest Region on Sunday night with Danny Lasoski utilizing a green, white, checkered restart to get the pass on Jason Johnson for the $5,000 Nebraska Cup championship check.

The field chased Jack Dover at the start with Danny Lasoski jumping to the runner up spot to begin the night’s 30 lap feature.

Finding slower traffic by Lap 8, Lasoski was quickly joined by Jason Johnson and Tony Bruce, Jr. as the trio chased down Dover.

Going three wide for the lead on Lap 10 with the back markers, Dover held off the charging Lasoski with the caution waving on Lap 11.

At speed, Lasoski and Dover proceeded to exchange slide jobs for the next two laps with Dover swapping the lead four times with the No. 1m before finally getting some breathing room. In the mix, Jason Johnson picked off the second spot on the fourteenth circuit.

Working from fifteenth, Brian Brown tracked down Lasoski on Lap 18 as Dover began working heavy traffic; allowing Johnson to close the gap with Lasoski and Brown going at each other for third.

Working the bottom groove, Jason Johnson threw slide jobs on the No. 53 starting on Lap 21. Over and over, the pair traded the lead with Johnson finally taking the point with six laps to run. Trying to mount a charge, Jack Dover’s night ended on Lap 25 with mechanical problems sidelining the Home Pride No. 53.

Caution coming to the final lap reset the field to a two lap dash.

Underway, Lasoski dove the Burch Motorsports No. 1m to the inside line entering turn one, taking the lead down the back straight-a-way for his third victory in as many nights. Brian Brown grabbed the runner up spot on the final lap with Jason Johnson ending up third. Tony Bruce, Jr. and C.J. Johnson from fourteenth completed the top five.

The Speedway Motors Midwest Region return to competition for the 2013 Season Finale at the I-80 Speedway with the second annual Fall Brawl on Friday, September 20 and Saturday, September 21.
