Johnson Takes Second URSS Win At “Duel in Dodge II”
Dodge City Raceway Park was the site
for the Second Installment of the “Duel in Dodge” and race
fans were not disappointed as 30 305 Sprint Cars pulled
through the gate to do battle with the ‘Kansas Tornado” Jon
Johnson picking up his second URSS victory of the season.
Taylor Valasquez brought the field to
green flag with outside pole-sitter Kirby Hagans quickly
taking the lead on lap one. Sixth starting Brian Herbert and
last weeks winner at the Jetmore Motorplex, made his way to
the 3rd spot with 8th starting Jon
Johnson following in the 4th position. Second
place in points Cody Salem, who was running in the 5th
position pulled in the pits on lap two with ignition
problems for the second weekend in a row. Hagans pulled out
to a healthy lead and looked to have the field covered, but
Johnson had worked his way to the 2nd position by
lap six.
Lap nine saw 4th place
Brian Herbert lose an engine and come to a stop in turn
four. On the restart, Hagans once a gain pulled away with
Johnson, Valasquez and Crook in hot pursuit. Lap 12 saw
Keefe Hemel work his way up to the 5th position
with Brooke Boyd and URSS Points Leader Smokey Fairbank
battling Hemel for the position. Crook finally got around
the 21 of Valasquez and set his sights on Johnson for the 2nd
position. Lap 17 saw the 5th place car of Hemel
slow and pull into the infield.
B-Main #2 winner Justin Schwien
quietly worked his way from his 12th place
starting position to the 6th position by lap 20
and set his sights on Fairbanks. On lap 22, Johnson used a
lapped car as a pick and took the lead away from Hagans and
never looked back as he took the checkers with Hagans,
Crook, Boyd and Fairbank rounding out the Top Five.
The Weld Racing Wheels “Hard Charger of
