Inside Line Promotions – RISING CITY, Neb. (June 25, 2013) – Approximately a third of the way through his season and Jack Dover is almost a third of the way to his goal of 20 feature wins.
Dover added two more on Saturday night at Butler County Speedway, where he remains undefeated in three main events this season.
“It was a really good weekend,” he said. “I’m pretty happy with how the year is going.”
The first of the two Nebraska 360 Sprints features on Saturday was to finish the rained out main event on May 18, when Dover was running third after two laps. The feature resumed where it left off and Dover maintained his position for most of the race.
“I ran third the whole time and with about five laps to go the second-place car’s nose wing fell down,” Dover said. “His car popped a wheelie coming out of the corner and I kinda made contact with him. He flipped and there was a red flag. I made some adjustments to the car and was able to fly around the top side of (turns) one and two and get around the leader.”
Dover charged to the lead on the restart and powered to a decisive victory – his fifth of the season.
During the full race program, Dover qualified third quickest and charged from fourth to win his heat race, which locked him in the dash.
“We were able to get up to second on the first lap,” he said. “About halfway through the heat race we got around the leader and pulled away.”
After placing second in the dash, Dover started on the outside of the front row for the 30-lap feature.
“We took the lead right away,” he said. “Somebody said we lapped clear up to seventh. The car was working awesome. The race track was pretty wide. You could run high, run low or throw sliders. I was right up against the fence the whole time.”
The win was his sixth of the season in 15 races this season.
Dover has a busy week scheduled beginning on Wednesday at Jackson Speedway in Jackson, Minn., for the Spring Sprint Car Nationals. He will then race on Friday at U.S. 36 Raceway near Cameron, Mo., with the ASCS Warrior Region before a Nebraska 360 Sprints event at Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, Neb., on Saturday.
