Inside Line Promotions – GREENWOOD, Neb. (Oct. 4, 2016) – Jack Dover posted his best Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour result of the season last Saturday at I-80 Speedway during the Midwest Fall Brawl V.
Dover earned a runner-up result during the event, which was co-sanctioned by the Carpetland Nebraska 360 Sprints. By showing up to the race Dover clinched his second straight Nebraska 360 Sprints championship.
“To win the championship and run second, it was a really good weekend,” he said. “Any time you can win a championship it means your stuff was working and you were consistent all year.”
The night began with Dover advancing from sixth to fourth place in his first heat race before he won his second heat race after starting fourth. That ranked him fourth out of 40-plus competitors and earned him a spot in the dash, where he placed third to start the feature on the inside of the second row.
“The track was too good early, but it started widening out for the second heat race,” he said. “In the dash it took a while to get to second and then on the last lap (Jonathan) Cornell got by me.
“We got up to second right away in the feature and were all over (Terry) McCarl. The red came out 11 laps into it. I thought it’d be a good call to switch the gear because I thought my car wasn’t pulling the corners hard enough. In the long run I think I could have used that gear that I pulled out.”
Dover dropped to fourth before a caution with a handful of laps remaining.
“We were fourth with five laps to go,” he said. “We took off and Wayne (Johnson) broke so there was another restart with a lapped car in front of me. We railed around the top in turns one and two and got past the lapped car and second place. We chased down McCarl and I think we would have had him in a lap or two.”
Dover’s second-place finish was his 24th top five of the season.
“There were some good guys there,” he said. “Any time you can run second with the national guys it’s a good night.”
Dover is slated to make his debut at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio, this Saturday with the NRA Sprint Invaders.
“We’re going to be making a dream come true,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to go and nowhere is racing around here so we’re going to make it happen.”
