Nelms Grabs Second Feature Win At Rockford
By: Kevin Ramsell
Saturday, August 19, 2006 (Loves Park, IL) – Josh Nelms, Rick Nielsen, Larry
Dickinson II, and Scott McGinnis took home feature wins on Snap-On Tools night
at the Rockford Speedway.
Nelms celebrated his second wedding anniversary by collecting his second
feature win in the NASCAR Late Model division.
It was a wild start to the 30-lap feature event as it took three attempts to
get the feature underway. On the first attempt, Nick Beinlich made hard
contact with the turn one wall and rode the top of the wall until it came to a
stop in turn two. On the second attempt, Nick Shutkas hit the turn four
wall head on as he came up to speed to take the green flag.
The third attempt almost didn’t go when Brett McCoy got loose in turns one
and two after taking the green flag. This allowed Nelms to move from his
third starting position to the lead on the back stretch.
Jeremy Miller moved from his sixth starting spot to take over second from
McCoy on lap 3. Miller spent the rest of the event trying to find a way
to get past Nelms, but wasn’t able to get by as Nelms was the first at the
checkers.
Jerry Gille held off Ricky Bilderback for third while McCoy came home fifth.
Nielsen collected his third feature win in the Grand National division.
Nielsen grabbed the lead on the start of the 15-lap feature event. He
was challenged in the early going by Dennis Basler.
Current point leader, Brock Behnke was working his way to the front.
With two laps to go, Behnke was challenging Basler for second when the two
touched coming off of turn 4 causing Behnke’s right front tire to go down
and bring out a caution. Behnke was able to return.
It was a two-lap shootout between Nielsen and Basler. On the final lap,
Nielsen held off Basler while Doug Bennett would lose his right front tire
coming off of turn two. At the finish it was Nielsen with the win over
Basler. Darrell Garman would come home third with Chad Smith and Brandon
Eash rounding out the top five.
Dickinson took the checkered flag in the Coca-Cola RoadRunner feature.
Dickinson grabbed the lead the start of the 20-lap feature over Jerome
Edge. Dickinson had an easy drive while the rest of the field put on
some great side-by-side battles behind him. The fans witnessed a lot of
three wide racing throughout the event.
On the last lap, Pat Smith and Robert Roush were battling for second when the
two touched coming off of turn four. Both got loose and were able to
finish. At the line it was Dickinson with the win. Roush would
come through for second with Jarrod Sutherland taking third. Smith and
John Logan Jr. would round out the top five.
McGinnis held two great challengers to win the Allison Legacy feaure.
The 18-year-old pilot started on the pole and grabbed the lead at the start of
the 15-lap feature. McGinnis held off a challenge from Jake Gille and
Michael Bilderback for the final seven laps. At the line, it was
McGinnis with the win while Gille held off Bilderback for second. Brock
Russell was fourth with Dave Cooter rounding out the top five.
