When we dropped the green flag on the feature, Dobmeier took to the cushion for the early lead. Sage Fruit Hepfner Racing Products Rookie of the Year Contender Brenham Crouch remained in striking distance along with the 8 of Croaker.

Dobmeier would first catch up to the tail of the field on lap 6, this allowed the rest of the group to catch up to the Buffalo Wild Wings 13. Crouch would become the race leader after a successful slider in turns three and four on lap nine. The 11M of Brendan Mullen would also make his appearance in the top 5 mix and eventually a contender for a podium.

We would throw the caution for the Sheboygan Falls, WI native of Travis Arenz who would slow to a stop in turns three and four. News from the work area suggests that mechanical gremlins struck and forced the team to retire for the night.

Cracking the whip, Crouch would kick start the field to the green, Dobmeier, Mullen, and Croaker. Austin Pierce and Tim Estenson were knocking on the door of the 8 of Croaker as we received the halfway home signal from the flagstand with Crouch leading the way.

Tim Estenson would make the passes for third as we ticked one more away. Caution would arise for the 26R of Preston Ruh who made contact with the turn four wall.

With seventeen in, race leader Brenham Crouch would roll to a stop on the front stretch. The crowd was in shambles to see that the leader had a shredded right rear tire. This would move Dobmeier to the lead, Estenson to second, and Mullen to third. The group would tick the laps down to 5 to go. Red flag would fly for the 71M of Englehart in turn two. Englehart would be able to walk away. Drama would also arise for the 14T team as he ran out of fuel and retired into the infield.

Dynamite would count us down for 5 laps and would take round one for NOSA at I-94 EMR Speedway. Second would go to Mullen in the 11M, and third went to the 8 of Croaker.

The Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprints and Buffalo Wild Wings NOSA Sprints are back in action for a double header at River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, ND for the King of the Wings. You can watch the action all season long for the IRA Sprint Cars on FloRacing.
