Two More Wins and a Near Top Ten for Mark Dobmeier

7/27/09

The home track of River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, ND is where Lunstra/Dobmeier Motorsports began their 3-day race weekend which started out with a bang. Mark, with his high point average, started in the back of the heat race at eighth and came up to second behind the 10TR of Bob Martin.
The second place finish in the heat race lined the Senske & Son Delta Oil #13 on the outside of the fourth row for start of the main event. With 12 laps to go, Mark took advantage of the well prepared race track and passed Chris Shirek for the lead and by the time the checkered flag was thrown, Mark had over a ½ track lead taking his 8th win of the 2009 season.

“Tonight was a lot of fun,” explains the River Cities veteran. “The track was awesome and I was able to keep the car up top except for a few bottom runs while we were moving forward. There were lanes on both the bottom and the top which gave us a lot of room to race; I’m sure the fans loved this one!”

Following the win at River Cities, it was off to Knoxville to prepare themselves for the 49th Annual SuperClean Knoxville Nationals. Dobmeier qualified late in the field with a 16.000 second time and then was able to start the heat race from the front row on the outside of Johnny Herrera.

Dobmeier took the early lead in the heat, but lost the position to Herrera going into the second lap. The two took off from there leaving the field behind them and Dobmeier ended the heat in the number 2 position.

Starting 17th in the main event, Mark charged forward up to ninth until a slice in the right rear tire caused the Senske & Son Delta Oil #13 to slow. Mark was able to salvage an 11th place finish in the feature which keeps Lunstra/Dobmeier Motorsports in the seventh position in the chase to the championship.

“We’re still working on a few things for the nationals,” explains Mark. “I think we are very close and we expect to be very fast this year. It was a little disappointing having the right rear (tire) go down…when we came in pits after the main we checked the air and it was down to 3 pounds so it made the car feel like I was on a sponge.”
Following Knoxville’s 11th place finish, it was off to Huset’s Speedway for Lunstra/Dobmeier Motorsports. Mark set a tenth quick time with an 11.432 to begin the evening on the fast high-banked 3/8ths dirt oval and lined up 4th in the heat.

Dobmeier quickly grabbed the lead at the start of the 10 lap heat and didn’t look back until the drop of the black and white as he took yet another heat race victory at the “Home of the Professionals.”

He began the 25 lap main event from the inside of the fifth row and with only 6 laps down the caution flag threw and bunched up the pack. At the time of restart, Dobmeier went low as the 11x of Greg Bakker went high going into turn one. “Dynamite” Dobmeier grabbed the lead coming out of turn 2 and led the remainder of the event capturing his 3rd win of the season at Huset’s and 9th overall for the 2009 season.

FAST FACTS ON DOBMEIER:
