FAIRBURY, Neb. — Topping the timesheets, heats, and the A features in Non-Wing and A-Class, Jett Hays was unstoppable Friday night with the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series at Jefferson County Speedway.
Battling through traffic in both feature events, Hays had his hands full with Keegan Osantowski, the challenger in non-wing, followed by Elijah Gile throwing bombs on a late-race restart in A-Class. Osantowski held on for second in Non-Wing, with Ryder McCutcheon third. Jesse Pate and Jason Friesen made up the top five.
In A-Class, the runner-up spot was held by Gile, followed by Brant Woods in third. Jadyn Friesen and Gaige Weldon completed the top five.
While Hays added to his win totals, Restricted found a first-time winner with Hank Soares.
Racing to the top of the track and never letting out of the throttle in pursuit of the lead, Soares made a hair-raising pass for the lead on lap 17 on Kyle Hooper. Winning by 1.955-seconds, Hooper held off Ollie Geiger for second. Chase McDougal crossed fourth, with Cale Lagroon fifth.
The opening night of the F-Town Tooleys Showdown at Jefferson County Speedway brought 113 entries, including the Mod Lites and Sportsman divisions.Â
