Brotherly love
Monday, October 10, 2016
McCook brothers Larry (No. 66) and Wilbur (No. 86) Steinbeck stalk each other after eliminating three other cars in the final race of Sam Jaeger's annual clean-up demolition derby Saturday night on the fairgrounds in McCook. Larry's was the only full-weld car; the others were limited welds or no welds. In a show of "brotherly love," sportsmanship and an "I dare ya to try that again!" challenge, Wil pulled Larry off the berm when Larry got high-centered. After putting on a bone-crunching, hit-and-get-hit show for the late-nighters in the grandstand, Larry put the final hit on Wil, and it was all over but the shouting. Wil said with a grin, "I could've had him if I hadn't pulled him off" the berm.
