OSBORN, Mo. (June 8) – It’s been a few years since he’s been to Osborn but Trevor Grossen­bacher showed he still knows how to get to the front at US 36 Raceway.

Grossenbacher caught up with Tyler Drueke in traffic and made what proved to be the winning pass with four laps to go in Friday’s Budweiser Shootout feature for IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Cars.

“The last time I ran here was five years ago,” said Grossenbacher, who earned $1,000 for the feature victory and another $200 for winning his heat race. “It’s a 2-1/2 hour trip for us but I’m sure we’ll go back. It was a fun night.”

The fifth starting Drueke and fourth starting Grossenbacher ran 1-2 much of the 20-lapper, con­tested by 19 cars representing six states. The caution came out with six laps remaining; Grossen­bacher used the top side to take the lead away two circuits later.

“I thought for sure he’d (Drueke) go to the top for the restart,” Grossenbacher said. “He went to the bottom and that’s when I caught him and passed him.”

Drueke ended in second as Nebraska drivers filled out the top six spots. Joey Danley, Jason Mar­tin, Matt Richards and Stu Snyder were next across the stripe.

Feature results – 1. Trevor Grossenbacher; 2. Tyler Drueke; 3. Joey Danley; 4. Jason Martin; 5. Matt Richards; 6. Stu Snyder; 7. Zach Blurton; 8. Mike Houseman; 9. Jake Kinder; 10. Gene Ack­land; 11. Frank Rogers; 12. Boyd Peterson; 13. Ben Woods; 14. Mike Johnson; 15. Bob Hildreth; 16. Devin Wignall; 17. Dakota Osborne; 18. C.J. Houseman; 19. Chad Jarrett.

Last-lap pass nets Clancy $1,000 IMCA Modified win at US 36

By Jacob Blair OSBORN, Mo. (June 7) – With $1,000 on the line Friday night at US 36 Raceway, the IMCA Modifieds battled for 20 laps before the top check had a recipient. Chad Clancy led only the last lap but took home the big money and earned a berth on the Fast Shafts All-Star ballot with the victory. Cory Wray had to settle for second while Scott Brown came back from an early race incident to finish third. Clay Hale and Jim Masoner Jr. made up the rest of the top five. After several early cautions, Wray and Clancy settled into the top two spots. Both ran the bottom of the track. Clancy could roll the center of the corner better than everyone on the race track but couldn’t get the drive off to move to the inside of the leader. With two laps to go, it looked as though Clancy had conceded and would settle for second. Instead Clancy went to the high side, somewhere he hadn’t been all night.  Clancy didn’t have [Read More]
