Inside Line Promotions - EAGLE, Neb. (May 21, 2013) - For Nebraskan Jack Dover, the Hinchman Racewear Eagle Nationals are much more than another race a half hour from where he grew up.
The TBJ Promotions event, which is set for Saturday, June 1, at Eagle Raceway with the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour Presented by MAVTV American Real, is a marquee race at one of the premier tracks in the country.
"It's one of my favorite races and is at one of my favorite tracks," Dover said. "It's always an exciting show with a ton of slide jobs and passing. The competition is always tough so if you can run well at the Eagle Nationals, you've done well."
Dover has finished in the top 10 in every one of the Hinchman Racewear Eagle Nationals events in the past three nights except one, when he crashed in the closing laps while racing for the lead. He won the 2011 event, which was taped for a television broadcast.
Brady Bacon swept the two-race show last season, but Johnny Herrera - the most recent Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour winner - has put on a charge for the victory the past two years.
Herrera, who is the current Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour points leader, finished second to Dover in 2011 and maneuvered from 15th to garner the runner-up position in last season's finale.
Tony Bruce Jr., who has placed in the top seven in three of his five Hinchman Racewear Eagle Nationals races, will pull double duty as a racer and the promoter.
"It's one of those places where as a driver you can't wait to get there," he said. "You'll have an opportunity to go out there, race, pass cars and do what you dream about as a race car driver."
In 2010, Jason Johnson won a thrilling finale with Danny Wood claiming the preliminary night.
