Bilderback Grabs Eighth Feature Win At Rockford
By: Kevin Ramsell
Saturday, August 05, 2006 (Loves Park, IL) – Ricky Bilderback, George
Sparkman, Matt Lundberg, and Terrance Robinson collected feature wins at the
Rockford Speedway. An awesome crowd was on hand to see the NASCAR Dodge
Weekly Series along with the Finnegan’s RV World Famous Figure 8 Trailer
Race.
Bilderback collects his eighth feature win in the NASCAR Late Model division.
Brett McCoy was the early leader in the 30-lap main event. McCoy held
off an early battle from Josh Nelms for the top spot. While the
two battled for the top spot, Bilderback easily worked his way through the
field from his ninth starting position to take over the second spot from Nelms
on lap 9. Three laps later, Bilderback would get past McCoy for the
lead.
The caution flew on lap 18 when Tom Gille spun in turn one. Bilderback
continued to lead. With ten laps to go, Nelms and McCoy were battling for
second when Jeremy Miller snuck by them on the inside coming out of turn two.
Miller was never able to catch Bilderback and the current point leader cruised
to another feature win. Miller took home second with Nelms holding off
John Reynolds Jr. for third. McCoy rounded out the top five.
Lundberg took home his first feature win of the year in the Grand National
division.
Dennis Basler took the early lead in the 25-lap feature event. Basler
would hold on to the top spot until Lundberg moved from his sixth starting
spot to challenge for the lead on lap 9. A lap later, Lundberg would
become the new leader.
The caution flew on lap 22 when Brandon Eash spun in turns three and
four. Lundberg continued to lead at the re-start while current point
leader, Brock Behnke and Fred Nason battled for second.
At the finish it was Lundberg with the win. Nason would hold off Behnke
for second. Doug Bennett got by Basler for fourth at the finish.
Sparkman collects his fourth Budweiser American Short Tracker feature win.
Jeff Turnure grabbed the early lead in the 25-lap feature event. Turnure
held off Tim Melvin for the top spot on two attempts, but Melvin got by him on
lap 7 for the lead.
Sparkman started tenth and took over the second spot by lap 12. It took
Sparkman seven laps to chase down Melvin and take over the lead.
Sparkman would pull away to the win.
Justin Scott got past Melvin with two laps to go to take home the second
spot. Nick Cina Jr. and Matt Berger rounded out the top five.
Robinson held off Gene Marocco to take home the Coca-Cola RoadRunner feature.
Robinson grabbed the lead at the start of the 20-lap feature event.
Robinson almost ran the entire race without being contested for the
lead. But, Marocco came through the field from his ninth starting
position to take over second with three laps to go.
On the last lap, Marocco went on the inside of Robinson in the last lap going
down the backstretch. The two went side by side all the way to the
checkered flag. At the line, it was Robinson by a bumper over Marocco
for the win.
Brett “City” Deutsch won the Finnegan’s RV Figure 8 Trailer Race.
