Danley, Ware, Homan, Sluka & Bruce win at Bab Fast Fever!
By Greg Soukup
Another great night of racing at Eagle Raceway Saturday night as Demon Decals and Budweiser presented Bad Fast Fever. A great crowd, plenty of cars in the pits and a beautiful summer night meant that it was going to be a fantastic show that finished in just over 3 hours.
There were no serious incidents in the preliminary events.
Roger Sluka brought the 5S back to the flag stand first in the Coors Light IMCA Sportmod A with Rich Flock’s 88F, the 31R of James Hines and Bobby Draper in the 62 rounding out the top 4 on lap 1. Lap 3 saw Braydon Latture put the 14 into second with Mike Scheinost taking third in the 51 and Draper holding onto fourth. Derek Hall passed Draper on lap 9 to put the 44D into fourth. Scheinost got past Latture for second 2 laps later but Latture got the spot back after another 2 circuits with Shawn Harker jumping the 40 up to third. Harker got past Latture after 2 more rounds as Arie Schouten moved his 99RE into fourth. Harker dropped out with just 3 to go making the final top 4 Sluka, Schouten, Latture and the 11B of Brian Baker.
Lap 1 of the Valentino’s IMCA Hobby Stock main event saw 13T of Tyler Jackson in the lead, Neill Pella’s 3N second, Brett Saathoff’s 11B and the 22 of Nick Beckman fourth. Saathoff advanced to second on lap 5 as Jeff Ware put the 53 into fourth. Pella dropped back the next time around moving Beckman back to fourth. Ware moved up to second on lap 8. Brint Lemke’s 26L made hard contact with the tire guarding the back pit entrance with8 to go and had to be towed to the pits, slowing the action. It took Ware just 1 circuit after the restart to move to the lead as Mike Hansen put the #94 into the fourth position. Saathoff spun in turns 1 & 2 the next time around but kept going. That allowed Beckman to get up to third with the 46 of Ryan Gilland grabbing fourth. Beckman advanced to second with 2 to go making the final top 4 Ware, Beckman, Jackson and Gilland.
The Nebraska Lottery IMCA Modified feature’s first circuit saw Nate Thompson’s 3T, the 3A of Aaron Pella, Bob Zoubek’s 5S and the 27 of Clint Homan out front. Homan jumped up to second the next lap and Jaxon Saathoff took over fourth in the 96 with Thompson falling to third. Bob Ruisinger looped the 7 in turn 3 the next time around for a caution. Homan passed Pella for the lead the next time around. Saathoff moved up to third after another lap was in the books. Justin Wulf hit the implement tire guarding the inside of turn 1 the next circuit and spun out to bring out another yellow flag. Jordan Grabouski used the restart to put the 30 into fourth and moved to third the next time around as Saathoff slowed. At that time the top 4 were Homan, Pella, Grabouski and the 24T of Terry Hurt. Grabouski moved up to second 2 laps later. With 8 to go Chad Andersen vaulted up to third in the 8C. Anthony Roth cracked the top 4 with 5 to go in his 60IV. The final top 4 were Homan, Grabouski, Andersen and Roth.
Dan Markham’s 6 was out front of the ATV Motorsports IMCA Sport Compact man event followed closely by the 52D of Devin Bruce, Ray Harrington in the 70 and Drake Bohlmeyer’s 24. Bruce passed Markham on lap 3. Lap 6 saw Bohlmeyer move up to second with Dillon Richards putting the #19 into third. The final change in the top 4 came with 5 circuits remaining when Brian Cronin’s 35 advanced to fourth. The top 4 were Bruce, Bohlmeyer, Richards and Cronin.
Last out on the high banks were the final laps for the Duros Dent Works Racesaver IMCA Sprint Cars. Brandon Horton led the first circuit in the 1B with Doug Lovegrove’s 55, the 20 of Tim Hilfiker and Mike Boston’s 51 hot on his push bar. Gene Ackland’s 14G and the 30 of Jordan Grabouski looped it in turn 4 on lap 3, slowing the action. Boston moved up to third on lap 5. Another 3 laps were official when Horton fell to second the Joey Danley putting the 14 into third as Boston held onto fourth. Danley advanced to second on lap 12 with Trevor Grossenbacher putting his 95 into fourth the next time around. 1 more lap saw Lovegrove drop to the infield putting Boston in second , Grossenbacher third and Jason Danley’ 4X in fourth. Hilfiker and the 91 of Adam Gullion spun to a stop in turns 1 & 2 with 9 to go for another caution. Grossenbacher took advantage of the restart to advance to second. The next lap saw Josh Riggins put the 14J into fourth but lost the spot to Tyler Drueke’s 12 after another lap. Riggins went for a wild ride the following lap, flipping all the way into the pits through the entrance road and the red lights came on in the corners. He walked away from the incident. Stu Snyder took over the fourth spot with 2 to go in the #5 making the final top 4 Joey Danley, Grossenbacher, Boston and Snyder.
