Goede was the 2021 NASCAR Advance Auto Parts weekly series Midwest division Champion and finishes second in National points, a series in which he was the National Champion in 2019.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to Speed Talk on 1360 radio and Midwest Racing Connection for the recognition and the 2021 MN asphalt driver of the year. Minnesota does have a lot of talent on asphalt, even though we are a small crowd compared to other parts of the country, so I appreciate this award. We had a great season overall, consistency was definitely our strong suit, but I couldn't do it without a fast car, hard work, some luck and of course our sponsors and crew - Jacob Goede</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYqN3Nab6uORUfMrzXQK08lhMTFwwBRYPVHz7IEoATEiAU-HjOa7cWOhhRnRM-GpVrxR8eYk-TxcaVwEiWEFlW9pLvY8EjsY_P2MgMZgakcfsks1ukGuOQ3eZm670RXhPAIgATnof0cLeiKfhAATI86OThVZI-x0ApEJ12nfWoKzOK6H8BHXh2FEyM=s2531" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1497" data-original-width="2531" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgYqN3Nab6uORUfMrzXQK08lhMTFwwBRYPVHz7IEoATEiAU-HjOa7cWOhhRnRM-GpVrxR8eYk-TxcaVwEiWEFlW9pLvY8EjsY_P2MgMZgakcfsks1ukGuOQ3eZm670RXhPAIgATnof0cLeiKfhAATI86OThVZI-x0ApEJ12nfWoKzOK6H8BHXh2FEyM=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Previous winners</p><p>2021- Jacob Goede</p><p>2020- Tim Brockhouse</p><p>2019- Jacob Goede</p><p>2018- Baiden Heskett</p><p>2017- Conrad Jorgenson</p><p>2016- Tim Brockhouse</p><p>2015- Jacob Goede</p><p>2014- Jacob Goede</p><p>2013- Ricky Martin</p><p>2012- Jonathan Eilen</p><p>2011- Chad Walen</p><p>2010- Brent Kane</p><p>2009- Adam Royle</p><p>2004- Dan Fredrickson</p><p><br /></p>Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02097412318953381938noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009121111693368265.post-33959734434268916522021-10-11T14:40:00.011-05:002021-10-18T14:42:09.972-05:00500th Post We just completed our 500th post here on Speed Talk on 1360.

Karam said his team has been snake bit to start the season with lots of bad luck, it looked like that bad luck would continue when he was stuck in a three-wide situation and spun on the first lap, after the incident Karam started laying down some incredible fast laps "I saw the leaders getting bigger and bigger because they were getting closer to me and I kept pushing," said Karam "I saw a couple of them have some issues and I was praying that they would keep running into each other, it's Rally racing and anything could happen and we didn't quit, that's the big thing never give up and don't quit."
Karam was so focused on laptime that he didn't even know that he was the winner "I came across the finish line, got the checkers and I asked my spotter where we finished and he said You Just Won and I was like No Way, I had no idea" said an ecstatic Karam post-race.
Karam was a big fan of the ERX Motor Park race facility, "this is an amazing place," said Karam "one of the most rad tracks I've ever driven in a Rally Car, it's definitely designed for cars like this, I LOVE this track, as of today this is the favorite track I've ever gone to."

The conditions were so hot in fact, that the track maintenance crew sprayed water in the corners to keep them cool three different times during the race night for fear that the 12,000 lb Iron Giants would damage the asphalt surface of the track. Truck drivers as a whole are known for their toughness and willingness to get things done no matter the obstacles. The same can be said for Bandit Big Rig series drivers and their fans who carried on as per normal with no changes to their regular race day schedule including a 90 minute on-track meet and greet where fans took sweat filled selfies with their favorite driver. Fans in the crowd were also soaked by water cannons during breaks in the racing action.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBgsN49g_EJn6qI4ATf2O09b39KnINaM2sm8HhbquRchXGuynaOeZuNeTXSau_zHxQSN3jSdDOrWlxDaLIATe7SUA7k7WtC51BK4d7AOXN0K7hCo1BYeR549jy1uiQSSI_LBNZLcwx0CU/s2048/Banditpitparty.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1814" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBgsN49g_EJn6qI4ATf2O09b39KnINaM2sm8HhbquRchXGuynaOeZuNeTXSau_zHxQSN3jSdDOrWlxDaLIATe7SUA7k7WtC51BK4d7AOXN0K7hCo1BYeR549jy1uiQSSI_LBNZLcwx0CU/s320/Banditpitparty.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTizqbLCJFd8dCqQJePCiOtZbe-wIQ5TGe9SQW8UnhclfES9nmWUgybPmkLGLV8rW1PgOA5TALNGuIC5mm4OcvyxOavJpeMzmeLvZP5WjFK28FwKZkiQ63O-a9jigIwTF8NcRmkAdVFg/s2048/Bandit88action.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1319" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTizqbLCJFd8dCqQJePCiOtZbe-wIQ5TGe9SQW8UnhclfES9nmWUgybPmkLGLV8rW1PgOA5TALNGuIC5mm4OcvyxOavJpeMzmeLvZP5WjFK28FwKZkiQ63O-a9jigIwTF8NcRmkAdVFg/s320/Bandit88action.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>When the main event 30 lap feature began #88 Mike Morgan from Wartrace (TN) was coming off a thrilling victory in the Bandit Shootout one-on-one grudge match competition where he outgunned Salem Speedway winner #99 Brian Bayer, that win gave Morgan the opportunity to start the race outside of row number two. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ote4Y_tf7bw" target="_blank">Video of Bandit Shootout final</a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihs0ZVAOLvW8n16WPQtNmGP-8MY9XUVnlFT9QZvugrYM4ZsgjVX_syWWFgpxYTwDYF0nLJnpKvD9gbWSaC_fI0vTCJGEql8w-wOnL29HEAmfyebTBLoClPLuYr_NduiC4KPstK5p00oyE/s2048/Bandit51.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihs0ZVAOLvW8n16WPQtNmGP-8MY9XUVnlFT9QZvugrYM4ZsgjVX_syWWFgpxYTwDYF0nLJnpKvD9gbWSaC_fI0vTCJGEql8w-wOnL29HEAmfyebTBLoClPLuYr_NduiC4KPstK5p00oyE/s320/Bandit51.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>As it turned out, that was the perfect location to witness some three wide craziness on the 3/8th mile oval at Elko Speedway.

Brockhouse won races at Hawkeye downs (IA), Dells Raceway Park (WI), Jefferson Speedway (WI), Citrus County Speedway (FL), and his hometown track Elko Speedway (MN).</span></p><p><span>2020 was a big year for Brockhouse because he had 8 wins and won his first track Championship at Elko Speedway just edging his veteran rivals Baiden Heskett and Jon Lemke. Brockhouse has usually not raced full-time at any one track, his only previous track Championships were both in 2004 at the I-94 Raceway sister tracks in Sauk Centre and Fergus Falls (MN), shortly thereafter he began operating the Great North Legends dealership which took him to a variety of tracks in the North.</span></p><p>Brockhouse also excelled in the INEX Legends National standings as he and Scotty Scott from Colorado both scored the maximum points possible and shared the National points Championship in the Masters (40+) Asphalt division. Austin Jahr, another MN driver, was the top point scorer in the Nation in the Asphalt Semi-pro division.</p><p>The Brockhouse family had a great season all around, Tim's wife Amanda Brockhouse won the Great North Legends Elko Speedway rookie of the year title in 2020 and their 10 year old son Ayrton Brockhouse won seven races on the way to his first Championship in the Bandolero division at Elko Speedway. This is the first time in the 55 year history of Elko Speedway that a father and son have both won a Championship in the same year. Tim's son Jaycen Brockhouse also has the family racing talent, he won the Legends title at Elko Speedway in 2009.</p><p>When asked about the most memorable moment of the year Brockhouse said when he, his sons Ayden and Ayrton and his wife Amanda drove their cars around the track at Elko Speedway during opening ceremonies displaying the American flag,"it brought tears to my eyes and was a huge honor," said Brockhouse.</p><p>This is the second time Tim Brockhouse has won this award, he was also recognized as the MN asphalt driver of the year in 2016. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Tomy Drissi #8 from Los Angeles (CA) won the Jed Copham tribute Trans Am series race at Brainerd International Raceway. Jed Copham died last year in a swimming accident, he was a former competitor in the Trans Am series and the owner of BIR, his family still owns and runs the racetrack.<br />

Ernie Francis Jr #98 was the fast qualifier and led the first 20 laps. He gained a big lead over the rest of the field while #23 Amy Ruman and #8 Tomy Drissi engaged in a furious battle for the second position. Ruman edged ahead of Drissi at the start and the two competitors, with a history of contact, raced hard and clean nose to tail for over a dozen laps before Drissi emerged as the runner up. Francis then had mechanical problems and dropped from the race handing Drissi the top spot, a position he would not relinquish all the way to the finish. It was his first win of the season and fifth TA National race win.<br />

Tomi Drissi then extended his lead and won by an impressive 46.612 seconds, Ruman is a two-time winner at BIR and held onto second place even though she struggled with fading power steering the second half of the race. Veteran driver #59 Simon Gregg raced solidly to round out the podium finishers.<br />

Humaid Al Masaood #21 pressured Gregg most of the race and finished fourth, #19 Kerry Hitt fifth followed by #98 Ernie Francis Jr and #20 Chris Dyson who was out on lap 8 with mechanical problems. It was a small field of TA cars during this time when the Covid-19 scare has dominated the sports landscape worldwide. The fans enjoyed free admission and were urged to watch the race at Brainerd International Raceway from their cars in drive-in style as all Grandstands were closed.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">By Jason D Searcy </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jacob Goede from Carver (MN) has been named the 2019 Minnesota Asphalt driver of the year by Speed Talk on 1360 Radio. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Goede had a record breaking year and was recently recognized nationally as the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Division I Champion at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte (NC). “The banquet was a good time, NASCAR does a good job honoring the Champions and it was really special to have my car (on display) at the Hall of Fame,” said Goede. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The 3G race team was awarded a beautiful Championship Trophy to Erica Goede as car owner and another trophy for Jacob as the driver, he also received a custom painted helmet as the Mobil 1 National driver of the year. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The 2019 statistics for Jacob Goede speak for themselves. In 37 NASCAR sanctioned starts he finished in the top 10 in every race, not one DNF. In 30 of those races he finished in the Top 5 and he won a total of 10 races across his hometrack at Elko (MN) Speedway but also Lacrosse (WI) Fairgrounds Speedway and Madison (WI) International Speedway. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Due to the inversion rules up here Jacob didn’t just start up front in these races, he had to fight his way to the front. Maybe the most incredible stat is that Jacob gained 218 positions from where he started the race to where he finished in those 37 events, so he averaged passing nearly 6 cars per feature race while competing against some of the strongest fields of cars in the Nation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jacob also excelled at all the big Marquee Races of 2019, he won the prestigious Dwain Behrens memorial event and the Thunderstruck93 Big 8 series race at Elko Speedway and also the Big 8 series race during Oktoberfest in Lacrosse. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the third time Jacob Goede has won the Minnesota Asphalt Driver of the year award, he also won back to back in 2014 and 2015. </span><br />

Ernie Francis Jr #198 from Southwest Ranches (FL) won the GT1 division at the 2019 SCCA runoffs at Virginia International Raceway.<br />
<br />
Tony Ave #4 was the fast qualifier with a time of 1.43.857 edging Ernie Francis Jr who timed in with a 1.44.06, the next fastest car was three seconds slower.<br />
<br />
The John Baucom #86 car was smoking from the beginning of the race, he was black flagged immediately but continued to drop a large amount of fluid all around the 3.1 mile race track causing a very slippery condition for the rest of the competitors.<br />
<br />
Ave and Francis swapped the lead back and forth the first lap and Francis officially led lap one, Ave then led on lap two and three. The third fastest qualifier was the 114 car driven by Ron Malec, he was in a bad wreck and the full course caution was finally called on lap 3.<br />

<br />
It was a long clean up process to get the track back in a race able condition, Tony Ave led the two caution laps after the cleanup leaving only four green flag laps to finish the race which had a time limit of 40 minutes.<br />

<br />
Ave slipped off the course after the restart and Ernie Francis Jr bolted to the lead the final three laps of the shortened race. It was the first SCCA Runoffs win for Francis Jr. "This is the most pressure I have ever felt," said Francis Jr "I've always wanted to be a Runoffs Champion."<br />
<br />
Tony Ave finished second 1.838 seconds behind Francis Jr, David Pintaric #57 from Canfield (OH) driving with a broken hand, was third, he was over 24 seconds behind the winner. Todd Peterson #42 from Bolder (CO) was fourth and #30 J Richard Grant from Germantown (TN) was fifth of the 13 cars participating.<br />

It was a bit disappointing that the race was so short but it was pleasure covering the Trans Am type cars at the 2019 SCCA runoffs in Virginia.<br />
<br />
Us here in Minnesota can look forward to 2020 when the Trans Am series returns to Brainerd International Raceway July 10-12th after a two year layoff. This event will honor the memory of the late BIR owner Jed Copham and also feature a $35,000 purse boost to ensure a great field of Trans Am series cars.<br />
<br />
Here is a story we wrote about the modern day history of Trans Am at BIR<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Due to the cancellation, because of rain, of the Gander Outdoors Truck series event on Saturday, it was instead raced on Fathers day at Iowa Speedway. Ross Chastain #44 crossed the finish line first at the M&Ms 200 and went through all the victory lane celebration but was later Disqualified in post-race inspection for being too low in the front giving second place finisher #24 Brett Moffitt the win. This is the first time a win has been taken away in modern NASCAR history, the winner Moffitt never led a lap in the race.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You might remember Camden Murphy (22) from Itasca (IL), he started his career by racing locally in Karts and Legends Cars before stepping up to the UARA Late Models and the Midwest Truck series. He won the Midwest Truck feature at the famed Thunderstruck93 event at Elko Speedway (MN) in 2013, it was his first ever Truck win. “I always loved ELKO, I remember that day being all about survival, we were having some bad luck and then everything just turned our way, it’s a day I will never forget,” said Murphy “especially being in that unique victory lane.” He edged out Jacob Van Wazer, Natalie Decker and Jerry Wood on that day.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Murphy had numerous wins in the Midwest Truck series and narrowly lost the title to Derek Kraus in 2015. Since then Murphy has been searching for the right opportunity and financial support to make a living in motorsports. Murphy has had 21 total NASCAR starts driving for small underfunded teams like: Rick Ware Racing, Copp Motorsports, JJC Racing and Beaver Motorsports in the NASCAR Truck series and 1 start in the NASCAR Xfinity series, he has never scored a Top 10 finish. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“With the struggles of finding funding I looked for as many different avenues in Motorsports that I could, knowing that driving is all I wanted to do,” said Murphy “I found myself with the opportunity to go to Monster Jam University.” Murphy made the most of that opportunity working directly with 11-time World Finals Champion Tom Meents, he impressed the right people and got a job driving a 12,000 lb Monster Truck. Now funding is not an issue, he has equal equipment to the best drivers in Monster Jam and he has excelled.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Murphy has quickly become one of the hottest new stars on the premier Stadium Tour of Monster Jam. After driving a new truck named Pirate’s Curse last year, he is currently behind the wheel of Bakugan Dragonoid, a wild looking truck designed from the Japanese animated cartoon and video game.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Every Monster Jam event now is divided into three competitions (Racing, Two-Wheel Skills and Freestyle) with the fourteen trucks taking part in each competition, fourteen points for first on down to 1 point for last. The points are tallied at the end of the night to determine the Overall Champion.</span></div>
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis (MN) hosted Monster Jam on Feb 16th and Cameron Murphy won the Racing competition beating John Gordon in Bad Company in the finals and earlier defeating monster truck royalty Ryan Anderson (son of pioneer Dennis Anderson) in Son-uva Digger, it was the fourth racing win for Murphy. He then thrilled the 30,000+ in attendance with an incredible show of driving skill balancing his monster truck nose down with a stoppie on its front wheels and walking it across half the stadium, he scored a 9.4 besting rising star Morgan Kane who was driving Grave Digger, it was the second two-wheel skills win of the season for Murphy. He then performed a backflip and finished 6th on his freestyle behind his mentor Tom Meents driving Max-D. With his two wins Murphy scored enough points to take his second overall event Championship with Ryan Anderson finishing runner up. Camden Murphy was the star of the show on this night.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even with all of his success in Monster Jam, Murphy has not forgotten about his NASCAR dream. “As of right now, I am fortunate enough to have many opportunities on all 3 levels (of NASCAR). However I am limited due to lack of funding, as many drivers can relate” said Murphy. “All I can say is that you will find me in a seat almost every weekend, be it racing or start-and-parking, you’ll find me somewhere.” Murphy hopes to make his 2019 NASCAR season debut either in California or Texas.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is no doubt that he has now proven that in equal equipment, Camden Murphy can win behind the wheel of a Monster Truck and has become one of the best drivers in the series. Hopefully someday that local racer will be given the very same opportunity in NASCAR. Somebody please tell that Japanese company that NASCAR fans like Dragons too.</span></div>

The hometown for Heskett is Alvarado (TX) but has lived in Minnesota the last two years. Heskett had an incredible year of racing in the Great North Legends division at Elko Speedway. He won his first Championship by a whopping 288 points, won 11 feature events, scored an incredible 163 passing points, (never finishing worse than his starting position) and he had a TOP 5 finish in all 24 feature events he raced in at ELKO. “Racing in Minnesota has helped me become a better driver,” said Heskett “there is a bunch of talent up here and ELKO is the best track to race at in the nation, it’s racy and you can go side by side.”</span></span></div>

We were also honored to talk to Carson Gramm from WISSOTA and legendary dirt track announcer Ron Krog multiple times this year, plus Doug Selle, Skip Pollack and Adam Brachle too. It was fun to see Dean Reller make his TV debut as the pit reporter on the Speed Sport coverage of the WISSOTA 100 (the Kottschade boys were excited) and Jason got his 10 seconds of fame on the MavTV coverage of the ELKO ARCA race.<br />
