Jett Hays Sweeps Stock Divisions While Hank Soares Tops Restricted At Jefferson County

Bryan Hulbert – FAIRBURY, Neb. (August 18, 2023) Topping time, heats, and the A-Features in Non-Wing and A-Class, Jett Hays was unstoppable Friday night with the Dirt2Media National Open Wheel 600 Series presented by Hi-Plains Building Division at Jefferson County Speedway.

Battling through traffic in both feature events, Hays had his hands full with Keegan Osantowski, the challenger in non-wing, followed by Elijah Gile throwing bombs on a late-race restart in A-Class. Osantowski held on for second in Non-Wing, with Ryder McCutcheon third. Jesse Pate and Jason Friesen made up the top five. In A-Class, the runner-up spot was held by Gile, followed by Brant Woods in third. Jadyn Friesen and Gaige Weldon completed the top five.

While Hays added to his win totals, Restricted found a first-time winner with Hank Soares. Racing to the top of the track and never letting out of the throttle in pursuit of the lead, Soares made a hair-raising pass for the lead on Lap 17 on Kyle Hooper. Winning by 1.955-seconds, Hooper held off Ollie Geiger for second. Chase McDougal crossed fourth, with Cale Lagroon fifth.

The opening night of the F-Town Tooleys Showdown at Jefferson County Speedway brought 113 entries, including the Mod Lites and Sportsman divisions. Racing continues at the Nebraska oval on Saturday, August 19.

Gates open at 6:00 P.M., with racing at 7:00 P.M. (CDT). Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for youth (5-15), and free for kids four and under. Pits are $30 per class entered.
