Decatur County Speedway
Oberlin Kansas
April 13th 2008
Round # 1 for Decatur County Speedway, and Round # 2 for the BST IMCA Modified Series…Combined… Threw the Knock Out Punch !!!!
David Murray Jr., Ryan Gaylord, Travis Sherfick, & Todd Pankonin win DCS Features
The Decatur County Speedway Season Opener had all the elements of a great season opener! With over 4 different states and 80 plus cars, DCS had great racing, with very few cautions making for a fast and smooth show. Good car counts and lots of fans in the stands, along with great support from the local media and track sponsors including the Schwan's Food Company.
Todd Pankonin from Binkelman NE took the win in the Hobby’s after some great racing with Kelly Kanopp and Austin Davis. The top 3 drivers traded the lead and or challenged the leader lap after lap.
Jason Rogers and Lloyd Meeske looked like the cars to beat in the Stock feature and like the Hobby’s the Stock put on a great show up front with the very patient Travis Sherfick using the lower groove of the 3 groove track to make the pass late in the feature and go on to the win.
Ryan Gaylord, BST’s driver development driver, in his very first Sport Mod race, driving his Larry Shaw Sport Mod, held of a hard charge by Dusty Palmore, Milo Lippleman and Shane Klochman to win the first ever Sport Mod feature of many more to come at Decatur County Speedway.
As the Big Guns of the Larry Shaw BST Modified Series rolled out in a 4 wide, flags raised salute to America… you could feel the excitement in the air having the premiere drivers in the region in the show. Fort Morgan, CO driver Beau Speicher took the 24 car field to the green, but it was Oberlin KS driver David Murray Jr. who looked like a man on a mission and had something to prove with his 2008 BST IMCA modified debut, as he took the early lead and never looking back. Behind Murray Jr the racing was nothing short of great, 3 to 5 wide action on a perfectly prepared track from the 2nd place driver Mark Zorn to the last feature finisher Brandon Hagen.
BST and Drivers are looking forward to Round #3 on April 26th in Jetmore, Kansas and Round #4 on April 27th in Lexington, Nebraska!!
