September 1: Season Over

June 20: Knoxville Again
Off to Knoxville for the ASCS National Tour with Midwest Tour having the first point night for the season.  Racing looked promising when a low number pill was drawn assuring a front row starting spot.  Larry Pinegar strapped in and hot lapped the car in his usual Knoxville style, really good.  A few adjustments were made to the car and Larry pushed off for the heat race.  Starting on the outside front row, Larry pushed the accelerator coming out of turn 4 and things didn't start well.  Finally when he crossed the start line a small puff of smoke appeared and he slowed into turn 1.  The push vehicle brought him back to the pits and things were terminal.  The motor was damaged and not repairable and no other motor available this ended another night of racing at the famed Knoxville half-mile.  We'll see what the motor builder says and we'll make it back to the track as soon as possible.

June 14: Racing with the Outlaws
Larry Pinegar couldn't make it to Eagle this evening so the car owner Doug Lovegrove stepped into the car to give it a whirl.  Doug drove outstanding this evening posting a 13th fastest in hot laps and qualifying 23rd for the evening events.  Doug held his line all night in his heat race and the B feature.  Doug almost qualified for the A feature, missing the transfer by two position.

June 13: Back row challenge.
Larry Pinegar was strapped in looking to add another win to his list.  After transferring to the A from the heat race he worked at moving forward through the A feature.  The race was going as expected until another competitor connected with Larry taking out the front end of the 44 car.  Without the needed extended caution flag, repairs were not made to the car in time to continue the race.

June 7: Another good night!
Larry Pinegar drove another great race for Lovegrove racing.  Larry started the night second row outside for the heat race.  When the green flag dropped he was off, driving his way quickly to first and taking the checkers.  With the win Larry made the invert giving him a tenth place start in the feature.  In the feature, Larry picked his way forward and was running fourth with ten to go, when a caution came out.  Lap traffic was put in front of him and he quickly cleared it and the third place car on the restart.  However he ran out of time to catch the front runners, and ended up third at the finish.

May 31: Back to Racing
Mother nature finally said let there be racing, and what a good night for Lovegrove racing.  Larry Pinegar ended up with the pole for the heat race, so when the green flag dropped he was off, running first from green to checkers.  With the win Larry made the invert giving him a third place start in the feature.  By the time the the A Feature ran, the track became a rutted mess, especially in the corners.  Call it Mother nature's revenge.  Larry quickly found second place and started to reel in the leader.  It helped when they found traffic, but a caution came out so he had to try again.    Back in the hunt he continued to looking for a line to take the lead.  Suddenly the 53 car passed by, but Larry kept looking for the next position.  Another late race caution bunched up the field and Larry had to fight off another competitor from the restart.  This  allowed the first and second place cars to open up a gap that Larry couldn't close before the checkers flew. 

May 24: Rainout again
Mother nature continues to plague eastern Nebraska with rain.  Hopefully next week will be dry and racing will continue.  See you then!

May 23: Rainout tonight
From dirtdrivers.com: "Disappointed..Yes. Surprised..No. Rain in the past 10 hours and the forecast for more, have forced JMS Promoter Delmar Friesen to cancel tonights ASCS/GOTRA/OVLRS Open Wheel show. All three groups will return as scheduled on Friday-June 27th. At this time, the race scheduled for tonight will not be re-scheduled. "

May 17: Great Start
The night started with a decent draw for the opening night.  Larry Pinegar started 5th in the heat race and by the midway point in the race, he had worked his way to third when the caution flag flew.  On the restart, Larry didn't waste any time and quickly found his way to the point and crossed the line with the win.  Since it was opening night, we redrew for the feature starting position, we drew six.  There were several restarts for cars with other problems, and Larry avoided them.  On the third restart, Larry drove into turn one and the front left wheel came off the axle due to a parts failure.  Larry hung onto the car and drove it around the track to the front stretch before coming to a stop.  This week we'll double check the car and be ready to race at McCool with the ASCS Midwest Series.  We hope to see you there!

May 11: Rainout....again.
Mother Nature was not cooperative again this weekend.  We'll see if she will bless us with racing next weekend.  Hope we see you next weekend!

May 3: Quick Change in Race Venue
With Eagle having a rainout, the team made a quick decision and went to Knoxville to race.  The night started with a low pill draw.  This put Larry Pinegar with a second row starting position.  However coming down the front stretch taking the green, something went wrong in the engine.  Larry was pushed back to the pit having to retire for the evening.  The motor was left with the builder on Sunday and looks like we will have it back for next weekend.

April 7: Good to worse.
Sunday afternoon brought another really dry track.  We set the car and moved forward in the heat to finish fourth.  After several hours Larry Pinegar entered the car to start the A.  A few buzz laps and coming out of turn four, chaos ensued.  Someone in front of Larry didn't takeoff, other cars took were held up and Larry didn't have anywhere to go.  The car ended upside down on the top wing.  Larry was fine, however the car had some broken parts.  It looks like the car will be re-assembled in time for this weekend to race at I-80.  See you there!

April 5: Good start to the season!
After spending the early afternoon at Autograph Day, we moved to the track.  Saturday night brought a really dry track.  We set the car and after many restarts in the heat, Larry drove the car to a third place finish.  With the transfer locked in, we set the car for Larry Pinegar to start in the 11th position.  There was little change in the track and it continued to challenge everyone.  After several cautions, the race moved quickly.  Larry lost a few positions before the final caution, but raced hard and crossed the line in 8th.  We look to improve this on Sunday.  Remember the races start at 3:00 and we hope to see you there!

April 5: Ready for the weekend, Part 2 - The car's ready and so are we!
