CRESCO, IA. – Curt Luhmann earned a weekend sweep by winning the Sunday night shootout at Cresco Speedway, but he was nearly unseated by Bob Cisewski, who drag raced him down the backstretch on the final lap of the 20-lap feature.
For Luhmann, the win comes as his fourth of the year, but the driver of the No. 8 Luhmann Farms machine explains it was the most fun he’s had this season, saying “There was no way I was going to lose this race on the final lap. I just put the pedal to the floor and never lifted until I made it across the line.” The win also helps his bid for the Liquid Nitro championship, extending his overall lead.

WEST UNION, IA. – Curt Luhmann motored to his third win of the season Friday night at the 3/8-mile Fayette County Speedway, extending his points lead in the championship standings.
Luhmann passed Joe Provinzino for the lead on a lap five restart, where Provinzino says the car shut off in front of the field. Provinzino was forced to retire from the race early, but Luhmann never looked back. He led the last 15 laps, virtually unchallenged.

Continuing a recent hot streak, Eli Hershberger was second in the feature. It was Hershberger ... Continue Reading
