Kyle Berck roared off from his front row starting position and held on for the entire fifty lap feature event to claim the Pump and Pantry Late Model Nationals along with the $6,000 winner's check at Mid-Nebraska Raceway. The event was co-sanctioned by the O'Reilly MLRA, WDRL, NCRA, and WDRA.
The green flag dropped and Berck quickly took command of the field, garnering the lead that he would never relinquish. Through two quick caution periods during the first dozen laps, Berck was able to remain in control of the field with Darren Miller establishing himself as a real threat to the top position. The final caution flag of the event waved on lap seventeen and after that the action was nonstop. Try as he might, Miller pressured Berck the entire distance, but wasn't able to pull of the pass as Berck laid claim to his first win of the 2005 racing season. Miller held on for second with Denny Eckrich, Justin Fegers, and Al Humphrey rounding out the top five.
Al Humphrey, John Hampel, Kelly Boen, Justin Fegers, and Brian Birkhofer all took home the wins in their respective heat races while Alan Vaughn and Dean Moore copped the consolation wins.
Berck started on the pole of the feature event by winning the dash over Darren Miller, Justin Fegers, Denny Eckrich, Al Humphrey, Joe Kosiski, Kelly Boen, and John Hampel.
Next up for the O'Reilly MLRA is the Summer Heat Tour on Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30. Friday will see the 2005 Thunder Tour rolling into Outlaw Motor Speedway in Muskogee, OK. Saturday night the action heats up at the Salina Highbanks in Salina, OK.
