JACKSON, Minn. (Aug. 24, 2018) – Shane Fick won one of the tightest battles in Jackson Motorplex history on Friday during Greenmill of Fairmont Night presented by Holiday Inn.
Fick, who finished 11th in the race, was crowned the Heartland Steel RaceSaver sprint cars presented by Wyffels Hybrids champion by only one point over defending track champion Kaleb Johnson and Elliot Amdahl during the final points-paying race of the season. Jacob Hughes was only five points out of the lead and Brandon Bosma ended seven points behind Fick.
However, it was Colin Smith who claimed the feature victory for the first time this season at the 4/10-mile oval. Brady Forbrook charged from 12 th to a runner-up result with Amdahl third, Johnny Sullivan fourth and Brant O’Banion fifth.
Amdahl, Clayton Christensen and O’Banion were the heat race winners.
Jordan Martens became the sixth different 360ci winged sprint car feature winner in six races this season at Jackson Motorplex as he held off 12 th-starting Lee Grosz for the Midwest Sprint Touring Series triumph. Gregg Bakker placed third with Derrik Lusk and Jody Rosenboom rounding out the top five, respectively.
Lusk, Martens and Bakker each won a heat race.
Clinton Bruns powered from eighth to garner his second NSL non-wing sprint cars presented by HitchDoc feature win of the season. Points leader Alex Schriever finished second with Brandon Halverson third, Jimmy Kouba fourth and Jeremy Kerzman fifth.
Bruns and Halverson were victorious during the heat races.
