JACKSON, Minn. — Scott Bogucki and Jody Rosenboom delivered winning performances on Friday evening at Jackson Motorplex, which hosted the Joel Pingeon Trucking 410 Shootout presented by C & B Operations during its first race of the season.
Bogucki was strong throughout the 25-lap Midwest Sprint Touring Series 410 Sprint Cars main event as he powered into the runner-up position on the second lap before using a slide job in turn three to take the lead on lap six.
A close call occurred on lap 10 when Bogucki got into the back of a car he was attempting to lap. The contact knocked Bogucki sideways into turn one, but he was able to save it and maintain the lead. Bogucki then built a nearly five-second advantage before the only caution came out on lap 23. That didn’t matter to Bogucki, who pounded the cushion the final three laps to pull away for his first career victory at the track.
“We just waited for the track to clean off a bit and got the miles per hour going,” he said before describing the close incident. “They slowed up and I should have anticipated it. We’re just lucky we saved it.”
Kaleb Johnson advanced from sixth to earn a second-place result.
“I just got a really good start there and used the bottom until it wasn’t there,” he said. “I didn’t have much for Scott. Congrats to him and his team. I thought I could stay close at the end, but he kinda drove away. I grew up racing here and in front of my family so I’m glad we were able to get a good run.”
Matt Juhl, who led the first five laps, placed third.
“It’s too bad not to capitalize on something like that,” he said. “Running top three is good, but not where we wanted to be. This will be a good start to hopefully better finishes.”
Tanner Holmes scored a fourth-place finish and Christopher Thram used a last-lap pass to garner a fifth-place result.
Rosenboom led the final eight laps of the 20-lap Wyffels Hybrids RaceSaver Sprint Cars presented by Heser Auto & Detailing A Main.
