Reimer Racing Sweeps the weekend. Solander, Carroll, and Black also find victory lane!!
*We first need to thank all of the brave fans that came to support our favorite sport of Dirt Track Racing!!!
*125 yes that’s correct 125 race cars checked in for the all class opener!!! We appreciate all of the race teams and supporters that came out.
*The JLR Property Management 316 Mods got the night started, and After being challenged multiple times by Kendall Kemp and late by “Tricky” Ricky Bonham, It’s was the 01 of Kason Carroll parking it on the scales in victory lane. We hope to see this division continue to grow and Kason looks to keep up his early season momentum.
*Here I’m going to get out of order like the 316 Mod race trying to lineup after a caution….. and jump into what may have been one of the best races of the entire evening. The Kansas Tow Company USRA B-Mod feature !! From the start it looked like Tyler Kidwell that had won over at the Hummer on Friday was on his way to double down with a strong early lead. In fact he after several restarts was able to fend off challenge after challenge until the white flag lap when the 5 car of Reece Solander drove around the outside of the 54 on entry of turn 3 and crossed the stripe just .144 seconds ahead of Kidwell in amazing fashion. Finishing 3rd was Clint McFadden, 4th to Cory Janesek , and Slade Mohr rounding out the top 5.
*In the Alternative Pest Management USRA Modifieds The Former Family House car piloted by Dan Powers started from the pole while the 3G of Brendon Gemmill was alongside. At the start Gemmill showed his high side presence bolting to an early lead. But with many BiG names like USMTS platinum driver Brandon Givens, the always fast Paden Phillips, former champions like Brian Franz , Ryan McAninch , and Tad Davis with new racers like Wyatt Gaggero and Tanner Black it was anyone’s race!! Gemmill went on to lead 12 laps when Tanner Black snuck by for the top spot. The G3 kept pace and after a couple cautions was lined up single file behind Black for a Green-White-Checkered finish. At the drop of the green it appeared the G3 fanned out but Black refused to give up the high line making Gemmill decide to lift or not to lift, Well not sure who did, or didn’t do what they needed to, but the result was Gemmill in the wall in turns 1-2. So Tanner Black comes home with the victory, Gaggero fought hard all night to be runner up, Tad Davis 3rd, Powers 4th and 5th ended up being Henry Chambers.
*At this point the headline will now make sense !! The next 3 divisions we will spoil the story now: Reimer-Reimer-Reimer Racing’s Bortzfield wins all 3!!! I’m not a historian but I am pretty certain it has been a long time or maybe never when a team swept every division they had entered. Great job!!
*First up was the TM Fencing LLC Super Stocks, and Reimer win number one went to Jerrod Reimer in the Rage premium beef jerky number 75 winning after choosing his spot to overtake the JD Eveland ride. Rounding out the top 5 was 2nd-Jerry Eveland Sr., 3rd-Jason McGehee 4th- JD Eveland and 5th- Tim Ozbun
*The Rage Jerky Mini Stocks had 18 cars start the A-main and it was Drake Jaeger leading the first several laps when Titus Bortzfield passed him for the lead. In turn 2 going for the win Drake made contact causing the 7 car to spin, but track officials placed the Jaeger car to the rear and Titus went on the secure the second win of the night for Reimer Racing. Finishing 2nd was Justin Esparza, and 3rd was Rustin Allen.
*The Allied Energy and Battery Stock Cars consisted of 28 entries and after the action filled B-main won by Alex Krogmeier the A-main made its way into the racing surface. The racing was so good from the drop of the green with Clint Smith jumping out to an early lead. Jayce “Rocket” Reimer kept pace keeping Clint in his sights, Clint stayed glued to the bottom and Reimer kept getting closer and closer until going into turn three on the last lap and drove around him off of turn four for his first victory in the Stock Car and completing the sweep for Reimer Racing! 2nd-Clint Smith, 3rd- Beau Davis, 4th Aaron Esparza, and Kyler Kemp in 5th.
*Until next time- See ya at the races!!
