BLOOMINGTON, IN (August 11, 2006) – Last night the good folks from F.C.
Tucker joined us for an exciting evening of racing. They probably sold a
house or two while they were at it, because most of them eat, breathe, and sleep
real estate. However, they are competitive people and they enjoyed
watching the exciting action on the red clay. If you're looking to make a
move call the friendly real estate experts at F.C. Tucker.
We had a little light rain early yesterday afternoon, however, by the time the rigs started rolling into the pit area, the sun was out. And, Mike Miles was well on the way to having his signature track prepared for competition. After a couple of weeks where the weather was very warm, the pleasant evening that greeted our fans would have made for a great evening almost without the racing. The trademark Bloomington Speedway competition took the evening into perfect territory. SPRINT CARS - Sixteen year old Hunter Schuerenberg commutes from Sikeston, Mo. to compete in Indiana this season. A couple of weeks ago he won his first feature at Lawrenceburg Speedway. However, when he rolled into the pits last night he did not have a feature win on the red clay to his credit. His best finish so far had come a couple of weeks ago when he brought PHC Hunting Properties sponsored car home to a fifth place finish. Regardless of the improvement that finish represented, no real racer would be satisfied with it. Hunter wasn't either. However, he knew that he was learning a little more each evening and that one night he would be the first to cross the finish line. Last night was that night. Sprint car racing began when Jared Fox started his heat on the pole and proceeded to check out on the field. Although they weren't in the same zip code with Fox, Eric Smith, Jason Holt, and Kenny Carmichael earned the other three tickets to the feature. Jon Sciscoe was coming off of a feature win at Lincoln Park last Saturday. Last night he started the second heat in fifth place and he drove to a win ahead of Schuerenberg, Kenny Biro, and Mitch Cunningham. Ty Deckard and Kevin Briscoe both drove to their heat race wins after starting on the pole. Kenny Carmichael, Jr. started the "B" feature on the outside of the front row and drove to victory. Things got ugly after Carmichael had taken the checkered flag. Lee Stark got tangled up with some other cars and took a nasty ride down the rest of the straightaway and off of the track in turn one. One of Hunter's most important accomplishments of the night was pulling the number one pill in the redraw. This put him on the pole to start the feature. Bobby Stines started on the outside of the front row and he was followed by Ty Deckard, Kevin Briscoe, Jon Sciscoe, Ty Deckard, Jared Fox, Eric Smith, and Dickie Gaines. When the green flag dropped to start the feature, Schuerenberg charged into the lead with Stines on his back bumper. Jared Fox started in eighth place; and, at the end of the second lap he had passed Kevin Briscoe to take third place. On the 13th circuit, Fox got past Stines to take second. We then had to very good sprint car drivers battling to take their first feature win on the red clay. Schuerenberg held on to take his first feature win at Bloomington Speedway. Fox held on to finish second. This second place finish was his best of the season so far; however, he would have to wait for another day to score his first sprint car feature win at Bloomington Speedway. Stines, Briscoe, and Dickie Gaines would round out the top five.
