The weather shortened the amount of spring dirt racing to just one weekend, but it was an action packed two day event at Elko Speedway. A near capacity crowd was thrilled by the awesome speed of the World of Outlaws sprint cars on Friday night.
32 Sprint cars raced and Sam
Hafertepe set a fast time in qualifying at 12.507. #83 Tim Kaeding worked
his way from his 13th starting position to win the $10,000 main event,
passing Kerry Madsen right up by the wall for the victory. "Live or die
on the high side, that is my motto," said Kaeding. The race was
shortened because of a brief rain shower that forced officials to end
the race at lap 34 of a scheduled 40. Local Minnesota driver #7 Craig
Dollansky finished 3rd after leading many laps.
