Inside Line Promotions – WHEATLAND, Mo. (Sept. 27, 2016) – Jack Dover is happy with his performance throughout the Hockett/McMillin Memorial last weekend at Lucas Oil Speedway.

Dover faced more than 60 other drivers during the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour tripleheader, which began on Thursday with a high pill draw. Dover advanced from seventh to fifth place in a heat race, which relegated him to a B Main.

He maneuvered from fifth to win the consolation race and earn a transfer into the 19th starting position for the 25-lap feature.

“The track was too locked down and then it got really good come feature time,” he said. “We watched the track real close and went from fifth to first in the B Main. We tightened our car up a little more for the feature and moved forward. It was a respectable night.”

Dover rallied to an 11th-place result.

He returned to the 3/8-mile oval on Friday for Round 2, which Dover began by charging from fourth to second place in a heat race before he ended third in a qualifier. That lined him up on the outside of the fifth row for the main event.

“We tried some stuff in the feature and it worked,” he said. “I feel like we were a podium car, but we got behind Tony Bruce Jr. and he was running my line and I couldn’t get around him. It was a good result to get a top five out of 60 cars.”

Dover ended with a fifth-place finish, which was his 23rd top five of the season.

The event concluded on Saturday with Dover powering from sixth to third place in a heat race. Unfortunately, he was run into by another driver in the qualifier. The contact resulted in Dover getting upside down and ending up with a ninth-place result in the race. That relegated him to a B Main, where he advanced from sixth to third place and missed a transfer into the A Main by only one position.

“We were really good, but had that mishap in the qualifier that ruined the night,” he said. “Once we got to third in the B Main we were even with first and second place. We just needed track position.

“I’m happy with the weekend. Any time we can move forward it’s a good night and we did that all three nights.”

Dover looks to wrap up his second straight Carpetland Nebraska 360 Sprints championship this Saturday when he will compete at I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., for the Midwest Fall Brawl V. The event is co-sanctioned with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour.
