143 cars checked into the pits of Eagle Raceway Saturday night and began prepping to put on a show for the large crowd who showed up for “This is how we Rock” night, presented by Colby Ridge. Sunny skies and lots of racing made for a great show.
The Racesaver IMCA Sprint Feature saw the 18 of Terry Richards flip down the front stretch at the start of the race and come to rest on top of the wall just past the flag stand. Richards walked back to his pit. Shayle Bade’s 03 got sideways in turns 3 & 4 on the restart, getting sideways and collecting the 0 of Chase Weiler. They both ended up in the infield. Bade went to the pits but Weiler was able to continue. When a lap was finally in the books Ryan King’s 13, the 13 of Eric Reichwaldt, Clint Benson’s 100 and the 35 of Trevor Grossenbacher were the top 4. Grossenbacher moved to third on lap 3. Reichwaldt took the lead the next time around as Adam Gullion put the 91 into fourth. Grossenbacher advanced to second on lap 5. Lap 6 saw Reichwaldt loop it in turn 4, collecting King. Both racers went to the pits. That made the top 4 Grossenbacher, Gullion, Shon Pointer in the 20P and Benson. Benson passed Pointer on lap 10. Gene Ackland’s 14G went up an over with 5 to go. He also walked back to his pit. The final top 4 were Grossenbacher, Gullion, Benson and Pointer.
This was Grossenbacher’s 3rd Eagle win this year. “This Speedway Racing Engine and Eagle chassis have really been working great this year. I want to thank Mom and Dad, my fiancé Lydia and my crew for all of their help. And a big thanks to Roger for giving us a track to race on, despite the weather problems” he stated. Grossenbacher’s sponsors include Stop ‘N Shop, Lincoln WinNelson, WC’s South, Husker Diesel and Mark Schmidt Enterprises
I am lucky enough to work at one of the best tracks
anywhere.
