Bubak Bests United Rebel Sprint Series at DCRP!
Reigning United Rebel Sprint Series champion Jake Bubak captured his third career Dodge City Raceway Park feature win by topping Friday night’s 25-lap main event that headlined First Responder & Driver Appreciation Night at the 3/8-mile southwest Kansas clay oval.
The 20-year-old from Arvada, CO, slipped past early leader Kris Moore on the seventh round and led the rest of the way for his second series win in as many weeks and first of the season in Precise Racing Products DCRP Sprint Car competition as a full house watched on.
While Bubak took Sprint Car honors, other First Responder & Driver Appreciation Night winners included Clay Sellard in IMCA Modifieds, Dwayne Dechant in IMCA Sport Mod action, Randy Dowell in IMCA Stock Cars and Will Bauer in IMCA Hobby Stocks.
With Bubak starting 12th in the 25-lap URSS Sprint Car feature, Moore led from the pole position at the drop of the green flag. With fellow front row starter Jeremy Huish sliding into the infield with race-ending damage on the second lap, the red flag flew after three laps when Jed Werner got upside down after hard contact with an infield tire in turn two.
The flag flew two laps later when Kaden Taylor got upside down in turn two as well. Both drivers were uninjured.
Already up to third by the third round, Bubak scooted past Moore for the point on the sixth lap and led the rest of the way as the final 20 laps ran off in non-stop fashion.
“The car was a little tight to begin with, but my dad (Rich) told me exactly what it was going to do and it was perfect,” Bubak said after posting the victory aboard the Myers Racing Engines-powered No 9x.
Bubak worked through traffic over the final half of the race to keep Koby Walters a half straightaway back with Moore settling for third. Precise Racing Products DCRP Sprint Car points leader Luke Cranston raced from 11th to fourth with Brian Herbert rounding out the top five.
The balance of the top ten included Zac Taylor, Keefe Hemel, Zach Blurton, 19th-starter Taylor Velasquez and Lance Davis.
In IMCA Modified action, Bucklin’s Clay Sellard rallied past Jack Kirchoff on the high side for the point at the midway point of the 20-lapper and checked out for his fourth DCRP score of the year.
With Sellard working forward from the tenth starting position, Kirchoff took the lead from Rick Taylor on the third round then held off Nick Link in the early going. But with Kirchoff and Link working the low side, Sellard took quick advantage by rallying by on the high side.
Into the lead by the midway point, Sellard drove away from the field as Austin Allen worked the high side to his advantage in the closing rounds. Sixth at the lap 15 mark, Allen climbed to second by the 18th lap.
Sellard was checked out by then though, taking the checkered flag comfortably ahead of Allen with Kirchoff, Link and Kale Beavers rounding out the top five.
“Keep it simple, we got back to basics,” Sellard said afterward.
Lamar, Colorado’s Dwayne Dechant extended the streak of consecutive different winners in IMCA Sport Modified action to 11 races dating back to last year’s season finale with his 20-lap triumph.
Dechant led early from his pole starting position, only to surrender the point to Brendon Damon on the fourth circuit.
But Dechant battled back, recapturing the lead at the midway point and slipping away from the field over the ensuing laps. A late caution brought the field back to Dechant, but nobody could mount a serious challenge.
In Dechant’s wake, Brian May slipped into second on the final circuit with Matthew Crowell capturing the show position. Damon settled for fourth with Jason Dove rounding out the top five.
Ulysses’ Randy Dowell made a late move around race-long leader Trevor Schmidt to capture his first IMCA Stock Car win at DCRP.
Schmidt led from the outset after starting on the pole, but soon had Dowell and Brett Copeland nipping at his heels in the non-stop 15-lapper.
Dowell’s persistence paid off, slipping underneath Schmidt exiting turn two on the 14th round and held the point the final lap-and-a-half to post the win. Schmidt crossed the stripe a close second with Copeland, Michael Pepper and Kyle Tillery in the top five.
After finally breaking through for his first IMCA Hobby Stock win at DCRP last Saturday night, Ness City’s Will Bauer made it two in a row by topping Friday night’s 15-lap feature event.
Following a red flag stoppage just one lap in for Reagan Sellard’s wild ride down the backstretch, Bauer battled past early leader Travis McLemore seven laps in and held on the rest of the way to take the win ahead of Tobby Schield and McLemore with Cody Davis slipping by Matt O’Hair in the final corner for fourth.
Next up at Dodge City Raceway Park is the I-70 Flat Track Motorcycle Series on Friday night, August 7.
