Mark Dobmeier – Last
Lap Victory at Huset’s!
Lunstra Motorsports
and Mark Dobmeier PR
June 6, 2013 - Mark
Dobmeier and his Lunstra Motorsports #13 had a great weekend as Mother Nature
allowed them to complete two of their three races on their schedule. A last
corner pass of Terry McCarl at Huset’s Speedway Sunday night capped off the
weekend after charging to a podium finish the night before at the Knoxville
Raceway.
A long, caution-filled feature greeted the 15 drivers signed
in at Huset’s. After setting his first quick time of the season and finishing
third in his heat, Dobmeier patiently kept his cool and collected his 49th
career victory at the famed bullring in Brandon, S.D. The final 11 laps went
caution-free after a rare fuel stop brought the crews out to the cars. Dobmeier
stuck his Sioux Falls Ford Eagle in some moisture on the last lap in turns one
and two to pull even with the 7-Time Huset’s Champ McCarl. They screamed down
the backstretch side-by-side with “Dynamite” sliding into the lead in turn
three to hang on for the popular victory as a car slowed down the frontsretch
as they crossed the checkers. Race officials decided to end the race, giving
the $2,500 check to the Senske & Son team.
“Man, what a finish. This is why we do what we do every week
driving all those miles to race for these great fans,” Dobmeier said after the
win. “Terry got by us there early in the race and the cautions kept coming. We
finally had a green stretch and my car came in there late as we hung with him.
I dove it to the bottom on the last lap and she stuck and we went on to grab
the win. What a great win for this team and I can’t thank my guys enough.”
The team came in with a little momentum after earning
hard-charger honors the night before in Knoxville coming from 15th to finish 3rd.
Another disappointing effort of 18th quick out of the 35 cars signed in resulted
in the poor starting position for the ‘A’. A dominant heat race victory picked
up the spirits for the Big Trucks by Jimco entry leading into the feature.
Dobmeier picked his way up through the field and caught a late race caution to
bunch the field up with a couple to go. Dobs would get around a few more cars
on the high side to land on the podium to end the night.
“We were really good all night outside of qualifying. We
keep struggling to start the night off, but once we get racing with other cars
we are really, really fast,” Dobmeier said. “We dug ourselves a hole and will continue
to work on it so we can start to hit feature inverts and start up front.
Outside of that, the car is working perfectly.
“Overall, it was a great weekend when we did get to race. We
won the heat at Grand Forks before getting rained out, we were hard charger at
Knoxville, and won at Huset’s. We’re hoping to repeat that and get a few more
wins this weekend.”
The regular schedule is being planned for the upcoming
weekend with Friday night at River Cities Speedway in Mark’s hometown of Grand
Forks, N.D., Saturday night at Knoxville, and finishing the weekend again at
Huset’s where he’ll try to grab career win #50 there on Sunday.
