GREENWOOD, NE (July 17, 2015) Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and Lucas Oil Midwest Latemodel Racing Association preliminary heats for Silver Dollar Nationals set an event record, with 60 cars entered for the Nebraska crown jewel event. Jonathan Davenport and Tad Pospisil will start on the front row of Saturday’s main event. There were two (2) rounds of six (6) heat races Friday night, with only LOLMDS point’s leader Jonathan Davenport able to win both his first and second round heats.

In the first heat of round one, Nebraskan, Tad Pospisil started off the night by coming from the 10th starting spot to take the win. The second heat went to Hall-of-Famer Billy Moyer, as he came from the fourth starting spot. Earl Pearson Jr. led all the way in heat three for the victory. Jared Landers charged from the outside of row one to take lead in a battle that lasted all 12 laps. Jason Utter swept heat five, and Jonathan Davenport came home the winner in the sixth and final heat race of round one.

In round two, Chris Brown narrowly grabbed the win of the first heat. It took Davenport a while to get to the front in heat two after starting eighth, but eventually he got the lead and went on for the victory. Scott Bloomquist; the defending Silver Dollar Nationals winner; was uncontested in winning heat three. R.C. Whitwell won handily in heat four. Jimmy Owens won a great battle to take heat five, and Dennis Erb Jr. nabbed the final heat win of the night.
