Stock champ wins stellar Lincoln race

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Timing is everything and for the frontrunners that claimed the checkered flags, their timing punched their ticket to the winners circle at Lincoln County Raceway in North Platte, Nebraska on Saturday evening. Spotlighted for their drives to victory were: Brandon Clough, Dillon Schultz, Kyle Werkmeister; Brady Weinman and Tom Baumgardner.

Weathering the storm would be an understatement when describing what Kyle Werkmeister of North Platte had to deal with during the IMCA Stock Car Feature. Werkmeister started on the front row and was able to stay up front and hold off all challenges to claim the checkered flags. Former track champion Bob Hoing of Overton had a stellar showing with a runner-up finish.

Hoing did his best to make it close at the finish line, only to fall just short of the win.

Heat race winner and Cash Dash victor Jim Hagan of Lexington had a remarkable night on the oval by finishing third overall in the feature event.
