Svoboda/Jackson Speedway Touring Series
The Jackson Speedway Touring Series held its first race outside of the Jackson Speedway, this past Friday evening at the Clay County Fair Raceway in Spencer IA. The event was the support division for the WDRL Late Models Firecracker 50. Picking up the evening’s 25-lap main event was Scott Winters, Butterfield MN.
Three caution flags slowed Scott Winter on route for victory lane. At the drop of the green flag it was Scott Winters getting the early lead from his inside row one starting spot. Clint Garner, Sioux Falls SD, moved into the second spot with Casey Heser, Jackson MN, the third spot. On lap five the caution flag came out when Jake Leighty, Worthington MN, spun his car in turn four. The restart saw Garner try to move by Winters in turns one and two but Winters was able to keep Garner behind. Five more laps would get in the books when Russell Wiese, Lake Park IA, spun in turns one and two. Once again on the restart it was Winters holding off Garner. As the race went on Winters and Garner would start to pull away from the field, but once again on lap thirteen the caution came out when Jason Eckard, Okoboji IA, came to a stop off the back straightaway. With the final restart of the race Garner would make one final attempt at getting by leader Scott Winters but couldn’t. As the final laps went caution free, Winters and Garner would build up a huge lead over third place running Casey Heser. As the laps wound down, Garner could not close up on Winters and challenge for the lead. When the checkered flag flew it was Scott Winters taking the win. Clint Garner took second followed by Casey Heser, Bill Boles, Harris IA, and Gordy Vogelaar, Worthington MN. The heat races went to Jason Eckard and Casey Heser.
The next Jackson Speedway touring series event will be August 15th and 16th, as part of the 31st Annual Kemna-Asa Auto Plaza Jackson Nationals. Saturday night’s Nationals A Feature will pay $5,000 to the winner.
