LAST LAP PASS LANDS BICKETT BARSTAD WIN

May 11th, 2012

LAST LAP PASS LANDS BICKETT BARSTAD WIN

by Steve Zwemke

HARTFORD, S.D. — Hard charging Ryan Bickett of Ramona, South Dakota, passed Kaley Gharst on the 25th lap of the 2nd Annual Barstad Memorial 360 Sprint Car race on Saturday night to earn a $1500 paycheck. Bickett had been gaining on Gharst in the third and fourth turns over the last several laps, but it was a slide job in turn two that sealed the win for Bickett. Gharst led the most laps (14) after inheriting the lead from Chuck Swenson who spun in turn four earlier in the feature. Brock Dump led the first six laps. Bickett started 12th and passed 11 cars to earn the Hard Charger award which earned him a free front wing from fellow driver Kevin Flowers, one of the race’s sponsors.

A huge crowd and a field of 42 Sprint Cars turned out to honor former racer and car owner Loren Barstad who had worked with drivers like Robby Wolfgang, Casey Heser, Clint Garner, Brooke Tatnell, Dusty Wasmund and many others.

Gary Brown Jr., found the dry slick race track to his liking as he came from 10th to win the Express Copy and Printing Late Model Street Stock feature. It was the second win in as many races for Brown, who led the last five laps after passing defending track champion Jesse Akkerman. Scott Borkowski and Dan Jensen also led early in the race.

A good battle between Mark DeBoer and Tim Dann highlighted the night’s USRA B-Modified feature. Dann had fallen to third late in the race when Mitch Van Engen took his turn at trying to overtake DeBoer. Dann stormed back for the win after a caution flag caused a restart with three laps to go.

It wasn’t the prettiest of nights in the Hobby Stock division. Caution flags far outnumbered laps by the time the race went green-white-checker. But the green-white-checker finished turned into an exciting shootout with Dustin Gulbrandson getting a good run off turn four on the final lap to pass Zach Olivier for the win. The two raced side-by-side for most of the last two laps.

Kelsey Hennings took advantage of some her competitors’ bad luck and raced to the win in the Fast Auto Wash Super Chargers division. Elmer Rolfes passed five cars to finish second.

I-90 Speedway Succumbs To Weather

I-90 Speedway Succumbs To Weather

by Steve Zwemke

HARTFORD, SD — Nearly an inch of rain and below average temperatures forced I-90 Speedway officials to cancel the second night of the 2012 racing season Saturday. Unlike last week when the track’s prep crew was able to take advantage of strong winds, sufficient drying did not happen into the early afternoon.

Paramount Racing Series action will continue next Saturday with hot laps at 6:30 p.m.

The season’s first special at I-90 Speedway is scheduled for Saturday, May 12, when Automotive Services, Inc., presents the Second Annual Loren Barstad Memorial Race. The 360 Sprint Car feature, with additional support from JP Custom Graphics, Hard Core Speed Shop, Precision Drywall, Eckley Racing Engines, Heser Auto & Detailing, CRC Seamless, Select Motors, J & L Auto and I-90 Speedway, will now pay $1500 to win. Sioux Falls, South Dakota, driver Mitch Runge won the innaugural event last May.

Jacobsma and Schlumbohm Win Wild I-90 Speedway Openers

April 23rd, 2012

Jacobsma and Schlumbohm Win Wild I-90 Speedway Openers

HARTFORD, SD — Justin Jacobsma appeared to have lost the lead and the win in Saturday night’s Hard Core Speed Shop 360 Sprint Car feature at I-90 Speedway with just two laps remaining before he eventually came out on top in a race-long battle with Jordan Martens. Martens, who lost the lead to Jacobsma at the half-way mark, exchanged passes with Jacobsma on the 19th lap of the 20-lap A-Main. The two also dueled with Brock Dump in an exciting finale even though the track had become rough during the evening’s features. All three drivers led at least four laps with Jacobsma leading 12 including the last 11. The win was the first at I-90 Speedway for the Hull, Iowa, driver.

Just as exciting was the season’s first USRA B-Modified feature which saw Devon Schlumbohm pass defending track champion Tracy Johnson on the final lap to earn his first career I-90 Speedway win. Johnson had led for 10-laps before Schlumbohm clicked off a perfect final lap. “Any time you can race beside Tracy it’s a blast,” said Schlumbohm whose car once belonged to 2010 track champion Cody Ahrendt. Johnson gained the lead from Mark DeBoer on the fifth lap when the former late model driver bowed to mechanical problems. The fifth lap restart was highlighted by several lead changes. Johnson passed Schlumbohm who passed Brock Hess who passed Jared Nytroe. Nytroe had been running second to DeBoer at the time of DeBoer’s caution.

Ater a one-year absence from I-90 Speedway, veteran racer Gary Brown, Jr., took advantage of his front row starting position and led all 15-laps of the Express Copy and Printing Late Model Street Stock A-Main. Craig Hanisch had moved from ninth to second when the race was stopped for debris on the frontstretch. He was unable to catch the leader when the race went green.

Tim Waltner began his Hobby Stock season in fine fashion as he lead all but one lap of the feature. Waltner gunned it past Jeremy Van Ede on the second lap en route to his 22nd career win at his home track. Waltner came from the third row.

For the second straight year, Laura Ebbesen won the opening night feature in the Fast Auto Wash Super Charger division. Joe Blake led the first six laps of the 10-lapper before Ebbesen took over.

Though making it cold and uncomfortable for the large number of fans that turned out on opening night, strong wind gusts helped dry the track which had been wet and muddy all week.
