By: Kevin Ramsell
Sunday, September 24, 2006 (Loves Park, IL) – Lincoln Keeser captured the
rain delayed O’Reilly Auto Parts 41-lap feature for the the Hobby Stox
division.
Keeser started ninth on the field and worked the inside line to the
front.
Tom Flippo was the early leader in the feature event that was ran on Sunday
morning at the 41st Annual Chicago International Trucks National Short Track
Championships.
Keeser got on the inside of Flippo on lap 6 and took over the top
spot.
Keeser’s held off two challenges for the win. The first came from Chet
Paffel who stayed on Keeser’s bumper in the first half of the race.
Paffel’s chances for the win fell on side when Dan Carlson spun in turns one
and two. Keeser was able to get past Carlson but Paffel was collected in
the wreck.
Keeser then had to hold off Johnny Robinson. But with 6-laps to go,
Robinson blew his motor and was out of the race.
Keeser cruised to his first NSTC championship win. Jim Tate Jr. would
come home second with Jason Brewster finishing third. Flippo would
finish fourth with Alex Papini rounding out the top five.
