Saturday, July 22, 2006 (Loves Park, IL) – Ricky Bilderback took home his

Bilderback would move to third by the 3rd lap. On lap 8, Bohn would
continue to lead with Bilderback and Bob Kahler running side by side for
second. On lap 10, Bohn would get loose coming out of turn two.
This allowed Bilderback to rocket to the lead.
Bilderback would pull away from Kahler for the win. Nelms would bounce
back to a third place finish. Jeremy Miller and fast qualifier Jerry
Gille would round out the top five.
Sparkman made another visit to victory lane in the Budweiser American Short

would lead the first 11 laps of the event. Nick Cina moved from his
fifth starting spot to take over the lead on lap 12. On lap 18, Cina
would get loose coming out of turn two. Sparkman moved to low side where
he got hit by Cina. This allowed Cina to get straightened out but
Sparkman would take over the lead.
On the last lap, Steger would get together with David Cooter in turn
four. The field easily got past the two as they came to the checkered
flag. At the stripe it was Sparkman with the win. Matt Berger
would come home second with Aaron Rude in third. Cina and Justin Scott
rounded out the top five.
Marocco made it back to back feature wins in the Coca-Cola RoadRunner
division.

later, Logan would pull away from Hawkins.
Marocco moved his way to the front from his 12th starting spot. With
five laps to go, Marocco would get by Hawkins for second. With three
laps to go, Marocco would get on the inside of Logan and challenge for the
lead. At the line, he would take over the top spot. At the finish,
it was Marocco with his second feature in a row with Logan in second.
Dan Carlson would come home third. Hawkins and Beau Lawson would round
out the top five.
Ihrke started at the rear of the field to come through and win the Classic
Modified feature.
Jim Maher had the early lead in the 20-lap feature event. On lap 3, Ken
Osborne got on the inside of Maher to take over the lead. Ihrke flew
through the field and with five laps to go, tried to go by Osborne on the
inside. But Osborne would shut the door so Ihrke went to the outside and
easily passed Osborne for the lead with four laps to go. Ihrke would it
the line first with Osborne second.

of the kids won over the Bobcat.
