Inside Line Promotions – EAGLE, Neb. (April 19, 2017) – Jack Dover recorded a top-10 finish during his 305ci winged sprint car season debut last Saturday at Eagle Raceway, where he drove for Chris Roseland during the Ice Breaker Challenge with the IMCA Sprint Series of Nebraska.
“We moved forward and made progress so that’s always a good night,” Dover said. “The track was really slick in the heat race. Everything was around the bottom. When someone would slide up too far I’d get by them. We got up to fourth and that put us in the feature.”
Dover advanced from seventh to fourth place in a heat race, which earned enough points to lock him into the 15th starting position in the main event.
“We were up to 10th in the first five laps,” he said. “We got three more positions throughout the remainder of the race. We were fairly good at the beginning and at the end it started to slow down and we didn’t pass a lot. Pretty much everyone was running the top and were the same speed.”
Dover maneuvered to a seventh-place result, which marked his second top 10 in three races this season.
“I want to thank Chris and his team for the opportunity and I look forward to racing with them again soon,” he said. “We won a lot of races together last year and I look for us to do the same throughout 2017.”
Dover will return to his 360ci winged sprint car this Saturday at Park Jefferson International Speedway in Jefferson, S.D., with the Carpet Land Nebraska 360 Sprints. He has won all four races – three last year and one in 2015 – with the series at that track.
“The track is in between a 3/8 mile and a half mile,” he said. “It’s kind of fast. The track is always in great shape and races all over. You can go anywhere.”
Dover has a victory at Park Jefferson International Speedway during three straight years. In fact, he has won five of seven races there during that span.
