JACKSON, Minn. (Sept. 2, 2018) – Jack Dover is $10,000 richer after winning a hard-fought and ultra-competitive Midwest Power Equipment 360 Nationals presented by DeKalb/Asgrow main event on Sunday night at Jackson Motorplex.
Dover accumulated the most preliminary points the previous two nights and he won the dash on Sunday to garner the pole position for the 30-lap feature that wrapped up the event finale that was presented by Billion Buick GMC.
Dover led early with Terry McCarl in tow before the duo mixed it up for the top spot throughout the middle portion of the main event. A pair of late red flags bunched the field up with the final one coming a lap after Thomas Kennedy passed both McCarl and Lee Grosz to move into the runner-up position with only seven laps remaining.
While Dover maintained the top spot, Kennedy stayed within striking distance as the top two drivers were separated by less than two tenths of a second when the white flag was waved. Dover held off the late challenge to garner his second win of the weekend during the marquee DeKalb/Asgrow presents the Midwest Power Series by GRP Motorsports, Midwest Sprint Touring Series and Upper Midwest Sprint Car Series sanctioned show.
Kennedy crossed the finish line second with Grosz third, McCarl fourth and Saturday’s feature winner Gregg Bakker fifth.
Tasker Phillips, Eric Lutz, Josh Baughman and Bakker were the heat race winners. Chris Graf claimed the B Main.
Jeremy Kerzman became the sixth different NSL non-wing sprint cars presented by HitchDoc winner in 10 races this season. Meanwhile, Alex Schriever charged from eighth to second place to garner the track championship. Shane Fick placed third, Eric Winlel fourth and Neal Matuska fifth.
Schriever and Brant O’Banion each won a heat race.
Jackson Motorplex will be dormant for the next couple of weeks before resuming competition Sept. 21-22 when the action features Heartland Steel RaceSaver sprint cars presented by Wyffels Hybrids and NSL non-wing sprint cars presented by HitchDoc.
