Jason Martin Wins IMCA Racesaver Feature
On a racetrack that was arguably the best racing surface in the past 5 years at Park Jefferson, 110 cars swelled the pit area on a hot summer night the action was even hotter on the Union County oval. The Memorial Clash is quickly becoming a fan favorite at Park Jefferson as it features top open wheel pilots in sprint cars and open wheel modifieds vying for terrific purses. When it was all said and done, familiar names of Noteboom and Dover collected the winners checks and the prestige of winning the Park Jefferson Memorial Clash. The track was pleased to host members of the 185th Air Force Refueling wing as guests of the track this Memorial Day. The track also used this night to debut the new O'Reilly Auto Parts Scoreboard as the newest addition to the ever improving Park Jefferson.
In the Nebraska 360 vs MSTS event which paid $2,000 to winner, it was regional hot shoes Jack Dover and Greg Bakker who started alongside each other on the front row. Bakker jumped out to an early lead in the State Bank of Fairmont blue number eleven and led the first 10 circuits. Dover, who is the leading 360 sprint car driver at Park Jefferson, was able to power his way around Bakker utilizing his preferred top groove. Despite a handful of cautions, Dover powered away to a 5 second lead to take the checkers over Greg Bakker, Lee Grosz and 25 Nebraska 360 & MSTS Sprint Cars.
In the IMCA RACESaver Sprints, it was Jason Martin making it a perfect 3 for 3 on the year at PJ. Martin was able to utilize hit hard hitting motor to win over Colin Smith of Sheldon and Elliot Amdahl. Two disqualifications for illegal motor components saw a shakeup in the final running order as it was not decided until well after racing completed.
