Denny Eckrich races outside of Travis Dickes before putting in a sixth place showing at I-80 Speedway. Dickes won his heat race but slipped to mid-pack in the feature. (Andrew Towne) MLRA / Cornbelt Clash: Anderson Assumes MLRA Point Lead After "Cornhusker Clash" #2 Trenton Berry GREENWOOD, Neb. - Sept. 24. John Anderson jumped to the lead from the outside pole to score the win in the final night of the "Cornhusker Classic" at I-80 Speedway on Saturday. The Lucas Oil MLRA series regular also took over the point lead in the process.
"We just needed to put the package together," Anderson said of his late season turnaround. "Me and Vinny are gelling real good. The boss (Team Owner, Greg Junghans) wasn't here tonight. We'll be glad to call him and let him know how this went."
Friday night winner Kyle Berck (14) chases #25 Chad Simpson before having to settle for eighth at I-80. Simpson claimed fourth. (Andrew Towne)
Jill George suffered a flat with four laps to go, which forced a caution. Boen was on Anderson's bumper on the restart, but the Shop Quik #2 was simply the evening's dominant car. Anderson pulled away just like early in the race. The win is Anderson's second in Lucas Oil MLRA competition this season.
Jaosn Rauen made a turn four pass on Kelly Boen to finish second. Boen was third.
