Nevada Speedway season continues

The evening of Aug. 8 started out hot and windy with temperatures in the mid-90s all afternoon. Track officials worked through the heat pouring water on the track during the day in preparation for the night's show.

Street Stock

Jerry Brown set the pace for the first heat of the evening. Brown came out to lead with Chase Domer moving into second. On lap six, Domer spun in turn four and was unable to make up any ground for the remainder of the race.

Brown claimed the win, Wyland in second and Devin Irvin in third, Domer finished fourth and Jerimiah Danner rounded out the field.

Jim Mahana sat on the pole for the second Street Stock heat. The 27m of Danny Mahurin took the first lead position until Kenny Shaw claimed the lead for lap one.

On lap two, Mahurin got high in turn four in soft clay and fell back to third, letting Eddie Fox power into second. Next time around, Shaw got too high in turn four and Fox took advantage to claim the lead position and kept his hold on it to take the checkered flag. Chris Hendren took second, Shaw in third, then Mahurin and Mahana.

For the Street Stock Feature, the 8x of Eddie Fox set the pace as he brought the field of 10 around to the green flag. Fox took up the lead and didn't relinquish it as Jerry Brown and Chase Domer battled each other for second as they ran down Fox.

Dustin Wyland caused excitement as he went up on two wheels and then spun through the air in turn three. Clearing all the cars, he landed on all four tires and, after his wild ride roared back out to complete the race.

As Fox brought the field around on the restart, once again the yellow came out for Hendren, who had been running hard in second, as he spun between turns one and two.

Fox claimed his lead on the restart and won the race. Chase Domer moved up from seventh to take second, Jerry Brown came across third, Kenny Shaw fourth, followed by Wyland, Danny Mahurin, Chris Hendren and Devin Irvin.

Modified

Lucas Dobbs was sitting on the pole for the first heat. The 114 of Brian Dalton brought out the yellow flag on lap five when he had mechanical problems and came to a stop on the back straightaway.

He was pushed to the infield to allow the heat to get back under the green. Craig Wood was neck-and-neck with Lucas Dobbs when the white flag flew, but Wood edged Dobbs out for the win. Dobbs took second, Brian Bolin claimed third, followed by Brian Hall and Dairan Hendrix.

In heat two, Philip Read set the pace. Soon after the green flag got the race under way, the yellow was out for the 18 of Joey Davenport.

After going back to original lineup, Scotty Bough slid up to the front position as Davenport went through the field to finish second. Darrell Jackson takes third, then Darren Danner and Philip Read.

For the final Modified heat, Jackie Dalton set the pace as he brought the field around in anticipation of the green flag. Dalton and Bob Kerbs battled through the laps, but Kerbs took the lead on the first lap and never turned it loose.

Dalton took second, Travis Dobbs in third, followed by Barney Bauerfeind then Greg Pitroski.

Race Brothers Show-Me Late Models

The show brought in 27 late models, including local legends Jack Simmons, Marty Danner and Shannon Phillips. They provided four heats and restarted the evening after intermission with a "B" Feature. The results of that race were not readily available.

You could feel the thunder of the horsepower as the Show-Me Late Models lined up 22 to start the main event of the evening. After driver introductions, the drivers took their positions for a 25-lap feature.

With a minimal amount of cautions, the race finished 16 of the original lineup. As the dust blew away, the track started taking rubber and tightening. The 77 of Roger Wilson dominated the race with the 25B of Wessley Briggs in second, the 15 of Kevin Henson in third, the 21 of Jordan Holloway and the 55 of Ken Essary rounding out the top five.

What a show; good, close racing!

The first heat started with Mark Godsey setting the pace. Karl Lehmann took the first lead, but Shawn Hendren powered by Lehmann to take the lead and claimed the checkered flag.

Scotty Bough was out on lap two to the infield. On lap five, the 64 of Hendren and 71 of Lehmann were side-by-side with one another, but kept it on the straight with Hendren maintaining his lead.
