Thompson notches fifth win at Red Cloud
By Mike Hughes

RED CLOUD, NE (June 23, 2006) -Superior’s Jon Thompson and the team of Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe of Hastings picked up the fifth win of the season in their respective divisions at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, June 23.

Lonnie Veteto of Belleville, KS, led the first 2 laps of the IMCA Modified feature before the tenth starting Thompson dove into the lead. Two laps later, Red Cloud’s Lonnie Schriner moved to second and the chase was on. The top two cars pulled away from the rest of the field, even with 3 caution flags during the 20-lap race. Schriner stayed close but could not make a pass and had to settle for second. Jordan Grabouski finished third, followed by Brandon Blochlinger and Joby Hanson. Heat race winners were Thompson, Blochlinger, and Brian Calhoon.

The Cruiser feature had a couple of cautions, the last one coming on lap 9 of the 10-lap race. Ron & Kent Duffy of Guide Rock led the field back to green with 2 laps to go and were able to hold off heat two winners Sidlo & Kothe to the checkered flag. However, the Duffy’s did not pass post-race tech and Sidlo & Kothe were awarded the win, their fifth of the season at the 3/8-mile oval. Pat & Joe Hersh were second, followed by Jeremy Teselle & Dalton Remus. Josh & Vic Jacobitz won the other heat race.

Jason McCartney of Smith Center, KS, and Geoff Jermark of Beloit, KS, swapped the lead four times in the first four laps of the 18-lap IMCA Stock Car feature before Jermark took the lead on lap five and drove away from the field to score his first ever feature win in the caution free race. Josh Hudson finished a distant second, while McCartney won the battle for third over Cory Struckhoff and Troy Attwood. Jermark and Jared Remus were victorious in the two heat races.

Franklin’s Chase Carraher led all 14 laps of the IMCA Hobby Stock feature to earn his second win of the season. The lone caution in the race came on lap 7, but Carraher was able to pull away on the restart and was first to the checkers. Heat two winner Joe McDole placed second, trailed by Jared Lewis, heat one winner Jamie Reiman, and Mike Shriver.

Racing returns to The Speed Bowl Friday evening, June 30, as the regular four divisions return to action. The first green flag flies at 8:00 p.m.
