During the Eagle Raceway Banquet, Doug was recognized with several awards for his accomplishments during the 2011 race season. Doug’s first award was for finishing in 3rd place for the season’s track points. Next he was awarded for the “Most Improved Driver” in the sprint division. His final award was earning the “Hard Charger” award for passing 54 cars during the race season. Doug was also recognized as one of three drivers with perfect attendance at the track for 2011.
Looking back on the 2011 race season, we had an excellent year. Concentrating on racing in Nebraska, Doug finished the year by competing in 22 A Features. In those races he finished in the TOP 10 – 50%, TOP 5 – 36% and 1 Feature Win! The entire team is looking forward to the 2012 Season that will start in April. We have high expectations and are busy preparing for the first race.

An exciting final night for 2011 at Eagle Raceway. The Nebraska Cup always brings is a wide range of drivers; including many from the ASCS National Tour. With a good draw, Doug was able to move through the heat race into the A Feature. Doug started 12th for the A and drove hard, never looking back! He carefully picked his line and made his move at the right time and after the checkers flew on lap 30, Doug had drove the “Fastest Cow on Dirt” to a 7th place finish.
Doug finished 3rd in his heat to make the A feature. He brought the car home in 7th position and finished 3rd in track points at Eagle Raceway.
Doug started deep in the qualifier race and made progress forward in this short 8 lap race. For the A feature Doug lined up in 18th. It was a long way to the front, but the entire team knew Doug and the car was ready to moo-ve. Doug was able to take advantage of timely cautions moving through the field. As the checkers flew Doug crossed the line in 6th. Join us next week for the season finale at Eagle Raceway.
Doug finished 5th in this event ran on August 20, 2011. It was ran on this night due to the rainout after the heat races on August 6th.
Doug started 5th in his heat and won. He drew 6th starting position for the A Feature and brought the Kemps, Our Family, Octane Trade, Trackside Bar & Grill “Fastest Cow on Dirt” across the finish line with the win!
The evenings races started excellent. Doug lead all the laps in the heat race and was to start on the pole for the A feature. Then came the rain. With the track gone, the rest of the evenings races were cancelled. However, we will run this A Feature on August 20th, before the regular nights events. Come and cheer on Doug as he races that evening.
A great finish for Doug in the A Feature. Doug was running around the middle of the field throughout most of the race, until a caution occurred with about 6 laps remaining. On the restart, Doug moved quickly forward picking off other competitors one by one. Doug made one final charge coming out of turn 4, being shown the checkered flag, and secured a fourth place finish.
The evening started off with a unique twist in the heat race. About two-thirds of the way through the heat, Doug had to make an abrupt stop when a power steering line broke and sprayed fluid all over the cockpit. Doug was fine, but the car was finished for the heat race. Doug still made the A Feature and started in the back of the field. Confident to move forward, Doug took advantage of every opportunity to advance in the feature. Doug drove hard, bringing the car to tenth place as the checkers flew. After the races, Doug enjoyed greeting many younger fans in attendance.
