Inside Line Promotions – RISING CITY, Neb. (Oct. 18, 2016) – Jack Dover wrapped up the 2016 campaign the best way he could.
Dover scored a victory during his season finale last Saturday at Butler County Speedway to give him 14 triumphs this year, which is only one behind his career-best total. It marks the fourth time Dover has earned at least 14 wins in a season.
“It’s pretty awesome,” he said. “I wish I had more wins, but from where we started the year to where we ended I’m real happy. I’m looking forward to next year already.”
The action began with Dover setting quick time during qualifying out of the 22 competitors. He then won a heat race from the pole position to lock himself into the feature redraw.
“They took the top three in each heat,” he said. “We had to redraw and the pill you drew you had to give to someone else. I drew the No. 5 and gave it away. Cody Ledger, who was driving a second car for me, drew the No. 1 and gave it to me.”
Although Dover gained the pole position for the 25-lap main event, he quickly fell into second.
“Seth Brahmer, who started second, took off in the beginning,” he said. “I got him in lapped traffic about halfway through. He went down to the bottom and a lapped car went to the bottom. I railed around the top and that’s how I got around him.”
Dover led approximately 10 laps before he was caught up in traffic.
“With two or three laps to go (Brahmer) got back by me because I was fighting lapped traffic,” he said. “It was the same deal as when I passed him only in different corners. Then going into turn three coming into the white flag I threw a slide job on him.”
Dover regained the lead for the final lap and a half en route to the victory, which was his ninth at the track in the last four seasons.
