5 Flags Speedway-Snowflake 100

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Yeah it’s asphalt late models, but no one talks about them on here. I’m very sad that they penalized a good, clean, non ahole racer like Stephen Nasse. Sucks is Pollard still lost the win as did that Thorn.

Jake Johnson got the win.

Little dirt related because Bubba has been getting his feet wet in at least crates.

I can get down with some asphalt late model racing. It’s truly a shame that running each other like trash is widely accepted in that world.

All want to be dale sr.

NASCAR started “bump and run” by condoning it and not penalizing drivers. Congratulations NASCAR, your two faced, head in the sand, position has evolved to short track asphalt racing, to the detriment of the sport.

For sure. And that Nasse I guess has fans. Grade A ahole. Interviews, driving, you name it. Daddy’s money.

Expect more of the same today

It's a shame the race can never be settled on the track. It seems the officials are always the deciding factor on who actually wins.

Same thing happened last year between Nasse and Pollard.
There was a big stink about it after words.
Nasse had gotten into Pollard and if I remember correctly they determined Nasse spun Bubba on purpose.
The one thing I've always under stood about the Snowball Derby at Five Flags is they like good clean racing and and they don't like when drivers race fellow driver dirty.
If your good enough you should be able to pass a another driver with out getting into him or her.
Guess will all see how the SnowBall Derby goes today.

I know two of the guys in the race today race one we have raced with his father back in the 80's and early 90's in dirt late Models Paul Shafer in the green and white #20th car. Paul was the 1985 Brownstown track champion. When he topped dirt racing he when and stated racing Monster Trucks with Monster Patrol and bought Big Foot, Bear Foot and a few other name trucks. Now he helps his son.

Boris Jurkovic in the black #53 out of Joliet, IL and Paul Shafer Jr. in the #7 out of Portage, IN.

Paul has 2 track championships at Illiana Motor Speedway in 2015 and Grundy County Speedway in 2020 & 2x Tony Bettenhausen Memorial race winner in 2019 and 2020.

Boris has raced all over the last couple of years and has a couple of track championships to his credit.
He has been in a Rowdy Manufacturing car the last about 3-4 years and Kyle Busch tried to help Boris buy Illiana Motor Speedway in Schererville , Indiana about 6/7 years back when the track was up for sale.
he had given Boris $100,000 and Boris was gonna buy Illiana for a $100K more then what the Owner Mike Mikuly (R.I.P. 2020) was asking for it.
Mike sold the track to the Town about 4 years back and pissed off a lot of drivers and fans.
Sadly Mike passed away this years after a battle with cancer.

I have never attended an asphalt late model race. One of my sons like racing - but not dirt racing. A close friend of mine is the same, he likes IndyCar, sports car and road racing. I wouldn't mind going to a asphalt late model show. I think I have a few tracks to choose from, but I want to go to one that is worth attending. Cedar Rapids, IA, Rockford, IL, Madison, WI are all less than two hours away. I think WI has a few other tracks, but I just don't know enough about asphalt late models. Any recommendations?

Don't bother with Hawkeye Downs in Cedar Rapids. They get maybe six late models on a weekly night.

Jefferson speedway in Wisconsin is good. 1/2 is tight and flat bottom preferred groove and 3/4 is more banked and sweeping so top is preferred. They can run side by side for many laps in a row. That’s hard to find in asphalt.
