Greenwood, Nebraska (May 30,
2010) - Former
series champion Kelly Boen
has done just about won
everything possible when it
comes to the O’Reilly/NCRA
late model division.
However, one race that had
eluded him was the annual
Alphabet Soup. You can now
cross out that race on his
“to do” list as the
Henderson, Colorado driver
took the victory Sunday
night at I-80 Speedway in
Greenwood, Nebraska. The
race was also a
co-sanctioned affair with
the Lucas Oil MLRA.
John Anderson of Omaha,
Nebraska and Boen started on
the front row with Boen
jumping out to the early
lead. Defending series
champion Kyle Berck of
Marquette, Nebraska jumped
into the runner up position
with both drivers waging
battle for the top spot for
the first half of the race.
Several caution periods
dotted the first twenty laps
of the forty lap feature
event but once pass the
midway portion of the event,
the rest of the distance
went nonstop with Boen
picking up the victory
unchallenged.
It was the third feature
series feature victory of
the season for Boen, the
second in a row aboard his
familiar #07 Roadrunner
Fabrication/Peterson Fluid
Systems sponsored Rocket
Chassis.
Dave Eckrich got past Berck
late to take over the runner
up position with Brad Looney
and Anderson rounding out
the top five.
Heat races for the
forty-eight car field were
won by Chris Simpson, Shawn
Harker, Chad Simpson, Boen
and Anderson while Delbert
Smith and Al Humphrey took
home the two, “B” feature
honors.
The next event for the
O’Reilly/NCRA late model
division will be coming up
this Friday and Saturday
night at Great American
Speedway in Jetmore, Kansas
for the “Sunflower State
Showdown” paying $10,000 to
win and $750 just to start
the Saturday night feature
finale. Then the series will
head to the High Banks of
Belleville for a special
Sunday night appearance.
