Berck Takes Win Before Mother Nature Drenches Track

Dawson County Raceway
LEXINGTON, Neb. (July 10) - One of the hottest days of summer so far turned into one of the wettest race nights in memory as the sky unloaded its rain on Dawson County Raceway. Fortunately, most of the night’s events were completed, with everything but three A Features left to run. Those A Features will be run before the rest of regular events on Sunday, July 17. Before the night was over, however, Kyle Berck of Marquette, Jay Steffens of North Platte, Tyler Frye of Belleville, Kansas, and Mike Nichols of Harlan, Iowa were able to obtain the A Feature wins.

The Super Late Model Racing group made their first ever appearance at Dawson County Raceway, and it was the first appearance of a Late Model touring series at the track since 2003. The A Feature was moved up after it was learned storms were approaching so the fans could watch what many of them came for. Travis Dickes of Madison passed fellow heat winner Justin Zeitner of LaVista on lap two and began to open a large lead, lapping cars by the fourth lap. One thing about Late Model A Features, when a driver finally finds a groove that works with his setup, that driver can make up great ground. Kyle Berck started the race in eighth place, but had to take his time to work around the likes of Nebraska Auto Racing Hall of Famer Al Humphrey of Giltner, and Leon Zeitner, also of LaVista. By the sixteenth lap, Berck was able to pass Justin Zeitner for second place and set his sights on Dickes. About the time Berck made his pass for the lead, there were two laps to go, and he pulled away for his third SLMR win of the year. Dickes and Justin Zeitner finished in second and third places. Mike Wiarda of Aurora, another heat winner, came on late and felt another four laps might have gotten him one or two spots better than his fourth place finish. Steve Kempt of Shelton improved four spots to fifth place at the finish.
