By: Kevin Ramsell
Tuesday, July 04, 2006 (Loves Park, IL) – Brock Behnke celebrated his Fourth
of July with a win in the Grand National division at the Rockford
Speedway. BJ Sparkman, Jason Van Hise, Kyle LaPier and Tyler Blume also
captured featured wins on Gilley’s Heating and Air Conditioning Night.
Behnke picked up his first feature win of the season in the Grand National
division.
Darrell Garman grabbed the early lead in the 25-lap feature event.
Behnke started sixth and patiently made his way to the front. On lap 10,
Behnke got to the inside of Garman and took over the top spot.
Fred Nason would get by Garman for second with seven laps to go. But,
Behnke had a healthy lead to hold on to the win. Nason would come home
second with Garman third.
BJ Sparkman survived a wild Budweiser American Short Tracker
Feature.
Kelly Evink took the early lead in the feature event. The race was
slowed multiple times for cautions. The worse happening on lap 14 when
Jonathan Carsey spun in turns one and two. It caused a seven car pile up
which included BJ Sparkman.
With 8 laps to go, Evink was trying to hold off Matt Berger coming off of turn
four. The two touched causing Evink to spin. At that point, NASCAR
officials called the race due to the time limit. BJ Sparkman inherited
the lead due to the top two being involved and was declared the winner.
David Cooter came home second with Jack Atchison in third. Aaron Rude
and Tim Steger rounded out the top five.
Jason Van Hise took home the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere in the Coca-Cola
RoadRunner division.
Chris Gantz took the early lead in the 20-lap feature event that was run in
the dark. Gantz held on to the lead until Van Hise got past him on lap
7. Van Hise would have an easy dark ride to the checkered flag.
Dan Sander would come home second with Ricky Weimerskirk in third. Gene
Marocco and Gantz rounded out the top five.
Kyle LaPier took the checkered flag in the 20-lap Legend feature. The
best battle was between Ryan Miles and Ross Kenseth for second. Kenseth
look every way to get by Miles but at the checkered it was Miles getting the
position over Kenseth.
Tyler Blume held off Alex Arelano to win the 12-lap Bandolero feature.
Coming off of turn four on the final lap, Arelano made a move to the inside
that got the fans off their feet. At the line, Blume won it by half a
car length.

Display and Armed Forces Night. The Hornets, Winged Women on Wheels,
