EAGLE, Neb. (Aug. 3, 2024) – Score a career-first Friesen Performance IMCA Northern SportMod feature win at Eagle Raceway for Lauren Cook.
The third-year hotshoe out of Lincoln led the distance of the Saturday show, and while competition for third through fifth places behind her was hot and heavy, Cook was in control green to checkers.
“It does help starting on the front row. The track was really slick in (turns) three and four and really good in one and two,” she said. “I could get the car to turn and hit some good moisture but I was a little slow in three and four because it was so slick. I felt like I was going really slow like somebody should have been passing me, but they didn’t”.
McLain Reed, Josh Pfeifer, Cole Wayman and Adam Vrbka completed the top five on the Stumpy’s Custom Creations and A1 Iron-presented Conquer the High Banks program.
Chad Andersen topped the Friesen Performance IMCA Modifieds and Jason Danley took the IMCA RaceSaver Sprint Car checkers from 12th starting. Adam Wasserman’s IMCA Sunoco Hobby Stock checkers were his first this season at Eagle.
And Dan Jackson’s IMCA Sunoco Stock Car checkers marked his first win at Eagle since he didn’t remember for sure when.
“I think I have to go back to the late 90’s here at Eagle Raceway in the limited late model class on Friday nights when they had them. I haven’t won anywhere in a Stock Car since 2014,” he said. “I wrecked my Cadillac race car at the Lucas Oil Late Model show a couple of weeks ago. We had just gotten this car when I traded a turnkey Super Late Model for it. This car is amazing – these DeVilbiss cars almost drive themselves. All you have to do is be willing to drive them.”
