JACKSON, Minn. (June 15, 2018) – Jack Dover, Nate Eakin and Clinton Bruns each captured their first feature triumph of the season at Jackson Motorplex on Friday evening.
Dover and Ryan Bickett renewed their battle from two weeks ago when the duo traded the lead a handful of times before Bickett won by only a couple of car lengths during the first 360ci winged sprint car show of the season.
Friday’s Midwest Sprint Car Series race wasn’t much different as Bickett led a majority of the A Main before Dover claimed the top spot on Lap 19. Bickett was within striking distance for the remainder of the 30-lap race, but Dover held the point to garner the win. Lee Grosz advanced from seventh to third place with Scott Winters placing fourth and Eric Lutz fifth.
Chris Graf, Bill Boles and Winters each won a heat race. Tommy Barber was victorious during the B Main.
Eakin became the fifth different winner in five Heartland Steel RaceSaver sprint cars presented by Wyffels Hybrids main events this season. Elliot Amdahl powered to a runner-up result with Bill Johnson finishing third and Brandon Bosma fourth. Kaleb Johnson maneuvered from ninth to a fifth-place result to take over the lead in the championship standings by one point over Amdahl and Jacob Hughes.
Bill Johnson, Kaleb Johnson and Jeremy Schultz were the heat race winners.
Bruns picked up the NSL non-wing sprint cars presented by HitchDoc victory after starting the race on the pole. Neal Matuska was second with Scott Brandt, points leader Alex Schriever and 11th-starting Jake Kouba rounding out the top five, respectively.
