Rueschenberg Makes His Way In Nebraska

FAIRBURY, Neb. — Overcoming a late afternoon shower that put Friday’s program behind a couple of hours at Jefferson County Speedway, the F-Town Tooleys Showdown fired off with Corbin Rueschenberg making his return to victory lane.

J.J. Loss and Scout Spraggins finally added their name to the list of winners with the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division.

Rount two of Nebraska Micro Week, Friday’s field consisted of 91 drivers making up 121 entries from 12 states and Australia.

Battling into the lead on the start, Californian turned Okie, J.J. Loss, finally made it to the top with his first win coming in A-Class. Keeping a comfortable pace until traffic with 10 laps to go, the No. 67j found roads blocked. 

Allowing Dominic White to close the gap down from over 1.5-seconds, a red with six laps to go cleared the way for Loss to get the win. White held on for second, while Tyler Kuykendall moved from seventh to third. Frank Flud was fourth from tenth, with Jason Friesen in fifth.

Win No. 2 for the Mesa, Ariz. driver, Corbin Rueschenberg, led start to finish in Stock Non-Wing. Thursday’s winner, Brecken Reese, crossed second with Missouri’s Tyler Kuykendall in third. Garett Benson fourth was followed by Frank Flud in fifth.

Close on numerous occasions, Oklahoma’s Scout Spraggins became the 52nd driver to top Restricted competition with the Lucas Oil National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division. 

Winning by .768 seconds, the runner-up spot went to Jett Nunley, who rolled through from eighth. Slipping to third on lap 23, Jack Thomas followed, with Cale Lagroon and Haidyn Hansen completing the top five.
