Bruns gets first SportMod win at Off Road Speedway

By Randy Pospishil NORFOLK, Neb. (May 30) – The Saturday main event at Off Road Speedway that garnered the most attention featured a one-on-one duel between two Karl Chevrolet Northern SportMod racers looking for a first-time victory. Dylan Pospisil and Troy Bruns battled before a caution during the 10th lap, and subsequent restart, presented Bruns with an option that helped him seize the lead and, ultimately, the win. With Pospisil at the “point” and other cars aligned side-by-side behind him, Bruns had the choice of positioning his car on the inside or the outside, and his choice of the outside keyed his opportunity. “My thinking was that he was so smooth on the bottom, I couldn’t beat him down there; he wasn’t messing up at all,” Bruns said. “The only way I could beat him was taking the top.” Two laps after the restart Bruns accelerated coming out of turn two and passed Pospisil on the outside going into the backstretch. By the time the pair sped by the flag stand Bruns had secured the [Read More]
