........from racing action on Saturday, April 10th........
A few local drivers made the trek west to the Elmwood Park Speedway in Norton, Ks. Concordia's Brandon Blochlinger led the first eight laps of the IMCA Mod feature, but admittedly let the presence of one David Murray, Jr lead him to overdrive his #9 into the first turn on lap nine. Blochlinger's modified made contact with the guardrail in turn two, causing a flat & bringing out the caution. Murray, who changed a motor after his heat race, came from the back of the 13-car feature to add to his IMCA all-time wins total. Joe Cleveland finished second, Rockin' Ronnie Wallace third, Corey Lagroon fourth, & Blochlinger rebounded for fifth. Brett Jackson of Concordia, was also in the field.
In the IMCA Sport Mod main, Deshler's Wade Wagenblast ran second to Brian Conness. Placing third and fourth were Beloit's Kaid Calhoon & Tyler Watts.
Belleville's Michael Lauber brought his hobby stock to Norton, but did not finish crack the top five.
.......@ Minneapolis Raceway, the playday was held with 100 cars taking turns on the re-configured oval. The Johnston Racing Team of Concordia, comprised of Kurt & Jarrod Johnston's modifieds, & the hobby stock of Brandon Belvill, were out to test. Justin Murdock, the operator of the Cloud County Transfer Station, makes his return to the sport in the #24M hobby stock. Other modifieds included Geoff Jermark and Larry Sutton of Beloit. In the sport mod division, locals participating included Tyler Sutton, Eric Ingram, Jason Nelssen, Jake Krone, & Brian Fink from Beloit, plus Matt Miller & Kurt Kalivoda of Concordia, Jim Stolzenburg of Clyde, & Belleville's Tyler Frye. Terry Franz, Scott Condray, & Dustin Newlin, all of Concordia, joined Morganville's Wylie Pumarlo in the stock car ranks.
