Plenty of competition at Off Road Speedway

By Randy Pospishil sports@norfolkdailynews.com NORFOLK, Neb. (Aug. 20) – Competitive races and close finishes were the themes at Off Road Speedway Saturday night. That was the case in three of the four divisions … the exception being Kyle Prauner’s run-away-and-hide ninth win in the Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod feature … with the race of the night coming in the IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stocks where Brent Jochum edged Tiffany Bittner at the finish line for his second win of the season. Although Jochum had a front row outside starting position, which allowed him to stay close to leader Cameron Wilkinson, who led 13 of the race’s 15 laps, Bittner had to make her way to the front from seven rows back but did so by the mid-point of the race. It was Bittner, in fact, who took the lead from Wilkinson by moving underneath on the inside of turns three and four entering the final lap, but moments later, coming out of turn two and down the backstretch, Jochum passed on the outside, setting up the [Read More]
