Schriner makes it 7 at Red Cloud
By Mike Hughes

RED CLOUD, NE (August 10)—Hometown driver Lonnie Schriner won his 7^th IMCA Modified feature at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, August 10.

            In the feature, Tim Watts jumped to the lead at the drop of the green, followed by Larry Sutton and Dusty Blake.  Blake took over the top spot on lap 7, but as the field came to the crossed flags of the 20-lap race, Schriner threaded the needle to take the lead.  ‘The Red Cloud Rocket’ led the remaining distance for the win, followed by Watts, Blake, Mark Zorn and Brandon Blochlinger.  Schriner and Blake won the two heat races.

            The IMCA Stock Car feature had the crowd on the edge of their seat with lots of 3 and 4-wide racing.  Matt Streit of Guide Rock led all 18 laps but was hounded the entire distance by Cory Struckhoff and Josh Hudson, who finished a close second and third.  Track point leader Brett Behrends was fourth, followed by heat two winner Jared Remus.  Jason McCartney won the other heat race.

Mike Shriver led the opening laps of the IMCA Hobby Stock main event.  Shriver led the field to the halfway mark, but one lap later, tangled with Jerry Hudson in turn one, ending the night for both drivers.  Jim Buss of Blue Hill inherited the lead on the restart and led the remaining 6 laps for his fifth Speed Bowl win this season.  Joe McDole finished second, trailed by Kyle Bond, Jared Lewis and Delbert Selvage.  Rocky Zimmerman and Shriver won the two heat races.

            Joe & Jim Carter of Russell, KS, made the long haul worthwhile as they won the Cruiser heat race, then came back with a victory in the main event.  Terry Gradig & Jeremy Teselle were second, followed by Drew Barry & Ethan Vogler.

            Andy Sole of Nelson won his 7^th 4-cylinder feature as he was able to hold off Matthew Ford all 6 laps for the win.  Joshua Bodenus finished third.  Sole also won the heat race.

            F & F Construction of Red Cloud was the evening’s race sponsor and added some prize money for all five divisions.

            Racing returns to The Speed Bowl on Friday evening, August 17, at 8:00 p.m. when the Mod Lites & Dwarf Cars join the regular five divisions.
