Sobczak Victorious At Devils Run Sprint Car Classic:
Date Posted:  June 8th, 2007
Written By:  Mike Orness

With Devils Lake busy with the 15 ^th Annual Devils Run, it was also time for the annual Devils Run Sprint Car Classic at the Devils Lake Speedway. Last year Dave Sobczak won the event and he was back on the track to see if he could best the field of twenty-two other teams also entered. To start off the night, three Hornet heat races were ran with Richard Barnes, Bryan Russell, and Scott Vasichek picking up the wins. Maranda Arends, Paul Tronson, and Jason Landeis were second to those first place finishes.

With area tracks either getting too much rain, Devils Lake Speedway had a few new cars for their second race of the year in the MDRA Pure Stock division. Trent Grager of Sykeston , ND enjoyed his first heat race win at Devils Lake Speedway, besting Travis Aljets and Lance Schill during the first heat race. Lee Dahl handled the second flight of Pure Stocks with Charlie Carr and Ross Bollingberg racing him to the checkered flag.

During the first heat race of Midwest Modifieds sponsored by Service Tire of Devils Lake, Jason strand led the majority of laps until Bryan LePier passed him for the lead and win later in the race. Dale Kraling held off Stoney Kruk for the third spot. Dustin Strand led every lap of the second heat and picked up his second heat race win of the year at Devils Lake Speedway by out running Chris Vargason and Jeff Halverson to wrap up the heat races for the DTRA/MDRA Midwest Modifieds.

The first flight of three NOSA Outlaw Sprint Cars were pushed up onto the track with Lou Kennedy Jr and Kyle Fedyk on the front row. Kennedy grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag and didn’t look back to pick up the first heat race win. Bob Martin finished second after starting fourth and Dave Sobczak was third after starting third. Jason Linnell briefly had third place with a massive slidejob on Martin, but on the next lap Martin stormed back around to claim that second spot. Greg Nikitenko and Scott McDonald led the second flight of sprints to the green flag. Nikitenko grabbed the lead with Nygaard storming up from the sixth spot quickly. With 6 laps to go, Nygaard made his move to around Nikitenko for the lead while McDonald and Chris Shirek raced hard for the third spot. With the checkered flag in the air, Nygaard claimed the win with Nikitenko second and Shirek held onto the third spot. Kevin Lawson and Scott Butz composed the front row of the third NOSA heat race and on the start Butz grabbed the lead. Butz has some trouble in turn four which sent him to the tail on the restart. This gave the lead to Casey Mack who had passed three competitors for the second spot before the yellow. Mack wouldn’t give up the lead and took the checkered flag. Lawson, Monson, and Burke raced for the second spot but it was Burke who claimed that position with Monson third ahead of Lawson.

After a brief intermission for the drivers to redraw and officials to pack in the top of the track, the Bmain for the Hornets would be ran. Nathan Krumwiede and Brenten Wiesz led the field around to take the green flag with Scott Fitzner and Tiffany Sten in the second row. With only one caution flag during the Bmain, Wiesz grabbed the lead and never gave it up to pick up the trophy and Bmain win. Justin McCarthy picked up second after starting fifth with Nathan Krumwiede third. Richard Barnes started on the pole for the Hornet Feature race with Scott Vasichek outside of him to take the green flag. Barnes grabbed the lead to start with and Vasichek and Landeis battled for the second spot. After a couple yellow flags Barnes continued to lead and with three laps to go, stretched his lead out while Landeis and Vasicheck both tried to secure the second spot once the checkered was out. Landeis was scored second with Vasichek third. Jason Landeis grabbed the fourth spot ahead of Bryan Russell.

The MDRA Pure Stocks were up next with their feature race with Trent Grager and Lee Dahl on the front row. On the start it looked like Grager would pull out to the lead but suffered a flat and pitted when the yellow flag waved for Curt Olson who had slowed and stopped in turn two. Grager restarted last as the field was realigned and given the green flag again. Aljets and Lee Dahl scrambled for the lead as Charlie Carr and Lance Schill raced for the next spot. In the closing laps Aljets continued to lead with some pressure from Carr, but Aljets was better through the corners and brought home the win in his first appearance at Devils Lake Speedway. Carr settled for second after racing Lee Dahl pretty much throughout the race. Lance Schill finished fourth ahead of Ross Bollingberg who finished with a top five in his first visit to the track.

Fifteen laps were clicked back up on the counter for the Service Tire Midwest Modified feature race. Stoney Kruk and Patrick Sobolik brought the field around to take the green flag. The first lap was three wide for the lead Both Strands along with Sobolik running the top followed Kruk for lap one. Dustin Strand eventually took the lead on lap two with Jason Strand second as Kruk and LePier battled for the third spot. The first yellow was thrown for Hultstrand in turn two. Officials lined up the field with Dustin Strand out in front. The race went caution free till the checkered as Dustin Strand made it two for two by winning this feature. Late in the race Jason Strand pulled off giving the second place to LePier. Kruk was running fourth most of the race trying to hold off Halverson who was trying to get by him. Kruk was able to hold on to the third spot with Jason Halverson fourth ahead of Ryan Schroeder fifth after starting eleventh.

The last race of the night was the feature for the high flying 410 Outlaw Sprints with twenty-two starting the feature. Dave Sobczak and Austin Monson led the field around for the green with Nikitenko and Burke in the second row. On the start, Sobczak looked to grab the lead, but the yellow flag would fly for Burke and Nygaard who slid off the top of turns one and two, but kept going. The field would be restarted with Nygaard and Burke at the tail. The green was given again, but within seconds after the green was given the red flag would be displayed for Ryan Wilson and Nick Shirek who tangled and rolled off turn one with Shirek getting the worse end of the ordeal. Wilson had put his car back together after contact with the wall during hotlaps and didn’t have much luck for the feature either. Both drivers were ok and checked out by the paramedics. On the start again, the field would take the green flag with Sobczak grabbing the lead but not without some challenge from Monson. Chris Shirek slowed with twenty-one laps to go which brought out the yellow flag. The field was lined up once again and went green for about five laps when the next caution came out when Sitzmann and Mikkelson got together. While the green was given again, the best race was for second when Kennedy and Monson swapped positions lap after lap, but it was Monson who was able to secure the spot. Sobczak was racing into lap traffic while Martin, Kennedy, and Linnell raced hard for the third spot. Mack, Nikitenko, and Butz were the next in line racing for position. The last caution came out late in the race for Roemeling, which would set up a shootout for the final laps. Sobczak was in control and when the green was displayed had no trouble holding on to the first spot. Monson, Martin, and Kennedy made the race interesting for the fans, while Mack looked to get past Linnell. Linnell was just a bit better down the straights to hold on to the fifth finishing spot when Sobczak took the checkered flag. Monson held off challenges by Martin and Kennedy who finished respectively after Monson.

Devils Lake Speedway will be running again this Saturday showing appreciation for the sponsors of the speedway and all of the drivers. All regular classes will run with race action starting at seven o’clock. There will be two more races through the year when the NOSA Outlaw sprints will be back in action here.

Dobmeier Wins Fourth Consecutive As Erickson Wins First DTRA Win Of 2007:
Date Posted:  June 10th, 2007
Written By:  Mike Orness

With a rain soaked week prior to the race on Friday, there was plenty of moisture in the track and surrounding areas, but the River Cities Speedway crew was out making sure they could get the race in. The weather Friday night was comfortable, with sun and a little wind. The track was rough, but given the circumstances, the drivers knew that, and dealt with it. On a race night sponsored by Lyons Auto Supply and Butler Machinery the 3,000 plus fans were able to see Mark Dobmeier win his fourth consecutive race at River Cities Speedway, Doyle Erickson make a last corner pass to pick up his first DTRA win for 2006, Bryan LePier and Steffen Snare win their second consecutive race.

The Unicel Street Stock heats were the first even on the program with Aaron Olson passing Greg Neumann to win the first heat. Jim Geringer held off Dave Wittner to pick up his third heat race win. Steffen Snare won his second heat race of the year by rocketing past Hulst and Mutcher on the second lap with Henry Peters second.

The Dempsey Truck Service Midwest Modifieds had three heat races scheduled with Broden and Freeman on the front row of the first heat race. Broden and Freeman raced for the lead, but Freeman as able to get out front first and lead every lap to the checkered flag. LePier was able to sneak past Broden to finish second. Hultstrand and SanGrait led the second fight of Midwest Mods to the green flag. They both raced side by side for the first lap, but SanGrait was able to grab the lead but not for long as Halverson and Dydahl were challenging him in the closing laps. Dyrdahl who started dead last, completed the pass for the lead when it counted and picked up his first heat race win at River Cities. Halverson also passed SanGrait for the second spot. Heat race number three started with Dustin Strand using the outside pole and high side of the track to his advantage. He led every lap to win his fourth heat race of the year at River Cities. Sobolik held on to the second spot with Dan Ness and Jesse Olson putting on a show for the fans at the finish line with Ness scored as the third place finisher and Olson as fourth.

Nineteen DTRA Late Models were split up into three heats. The first Atek Parts heat race was won by Doyle Erickson who had started outside front row. Pederson passed Cody Skytland early in the race for the second spot. Brady Dyrdahl started on the pole for the second heat race and rocketed out to the lead on the start. By this time the track was getting rough and the rest of the drivers basically held on to their spots and finished accordingly. Sangrait was second with Corcoran third. Heat three was about the same although Brad Seng was able to grab the lead with
Anderson racing hard to grab the lead, but wasn’t successful. Mike Balcaen Also tried his best but did advance two spots to finish third.

The first heat race of Eide Motors NOSA Sprints was up next with Nygaard starting outside pole and lapping almost everyone except Fredrickson who finished second. Jason Linnell was the fastest and bested the rest of the filed during the second heat race after starting outside front row. Dave Sobczak advanced three spots to trail Linnell across the finish line. Casey Mack and Lou Kennedy brought the third heat race of drivers around to take the green flag. Kennedy grabbed the lead first but caught a couple rough spots in the track which allowed Dobmeier to get past him about halfway through the race. After a brief caution, Dobmeier was able to lead the rest of the way to the checkered flag for his third heat race win at River Cities.

There was a brief intermission for the Nestle/Hugos candy toss for the kids and also for the track crew to try and scrap down some rough areas of the track. Drivers were also redrawing for their starting spots to set up the nights feature races.

The fifteen lap Unicel MDRA/DTRA Street Stocks were the first feature race on the track after intermission with Swedin and Austreng on the front row. At the drop of the green flag, it looked as if Leake got a jump on the rest of the field but officials let it go. Aaron Olson quickly made his way to the front with Snare in tow. The first caution came out for Neumann with 10 laps to go. The race went caution free after that with some cars just pulling off with mechanical problems or tire issues. Olson continued to lead, but Snare was able to get under him out of turn four and complete the pass with about eight laps remaining. Snare increased his lead and took the checkered flag for his second straight win. Olson, Wittner and Geringer finished respectively in those positions without much challenge from any of them.

The twenty one DTRA/MDRA Midwest Modifieds ran their feature next sponsored by Dempsey Truck Service. Schroeder and Broden led the rest to the start with the caution flag waving before a lap was complete when Sobolik had nowhere to go as cars got bottled up and Sobolik tried to avoid the melee. On the next start, Broden grabbed the lead with LePier, Schroeder, and Halverson racing for the second spot. Dan Ness and Dyrdahl were also in the mix all racing for a top five spot. With fourteen laps to go, LePier completed the pass for the lead in turns two and three. Dyrdahl’s left front suffered some with the wheel sitting off kilter, but kept racing hard for the third spot. With only seven laps remaining the caution flag flew again for Olson and Dyrdahl was assisted to the pits. LePier continued to lead as now Strand had made his way up from the seventh starting spot to challenge for the third spot after that last restart. Another lap later, Strand drove around Broden to secure the second spot. Broden seemed to be falling back as SanGrait and Schreoder also passed him. The last caution came out for Sparby who got sideways coming out of turn four. LePier continued to lead after the restart and held off a couple challenges by Strand for his second straight win at River Cities. Schroeder had his best finish of the year so far by holding off SanGrait for the third spot.

The Atek Parts DTRA Late Models started nineteen Late Models for their feature with Dyrdahl and Pederson on the front row. On the start some bad luck struck Dyrdahl as he slowed to bring out the first caution after one lap was complete and had to exit pitside. Pederson had grabbed the lead with Anderson second and Erickson third as the green flag dropped for the restart. Anderson started sixth and was giving his all to challenge Pederson for the lead throughout the race. With sixteen laps remaining, the second caution flag flew and officials realigned the field. Another caution flew one lap later with only ten late models remaining. Under green flag racing Pederson and Anderson were entering lap traffic. Anderson almost completed the pass but got caught up with a lap car and basically ripped off the right side tin of the car. With only six laps left, Pederson led the field with Erickson and Balcaen racing hard to get past him. In the closing laps Pederson suffered some suspension damage but continued to lead. On the last corner of the last lap, Erickson saw an opening and was able to use the high groove and pass Pederson coming to the checkered flag. Pederson held on to second in front of Balcaen with Cody Skytland and Amundson fifth.

The final event of the night was the NOSA Outlaw Sprints for their twenty-five lap feature sponsored by Eide Motors. Scott Butz and Lou Kennedy were the front row starters with Martin and Fredrickson in the second row. Lou Kennedy rocketed to the lead on the start with Martin chasing him. Dobmeier who had started eighth was up to third in a matter of two laps. In the next couple of laps while the leaders entered lap traffic, Linnnell Sobczak and Mack were all racing for a top five finish. Dobmeier found his way past Martin for the second spot as Kennedy continued to lead. Just before the first caution of this feature, Dobmeier had secured the lead over Kennedy. Graham and Fredrickson got together coming out of turn four to bring that caution over the field. On the restart, Dobmeier started the racing with ten laps remaining. At this time of the feature, Chris Shirek, Sobczak, Mack and Nygaard where racing for a top five spot while they all completed one lap, the caution came out one last time. The field was basically the same with Dobmeier in control. Soon after the green dropped and racing continued, Kennedy had pulled of the track under green. The race went caution free for the last nine laps as Dobmeier earned his fourth straight victory at River Cities with Martin a strong second. Linnell finished third just ahead of Chris Shirek who had started the race in the twenty second spot. Dave Sobczak rounded out the top five ahead of Mack.
