Good Start at McCool, But Bad Luck Later

Al Hejna Racing took the black no. "7" to the Junction Motor Speedway (McCool Junction, NE). Friday, March 21st was the first of two nights there with the Untied States Modified Touring Series.

Friday night, Hejna started deep in the grid for heat race number 1, and raced his way to a second place finish. That earned him enough passing points to make the Top 8 - and in the redraw for the the 30-lap A-Main later that night.

Hejna started the main event on the inside of row two. Trouble forced an early retirement for Hejna and was scored 21st on the official final rundown.

Hard Work Brings Top 10 at Thunderhill

On Sunday, March 16, 2008, Al Hejna Racing hit the Thunderhill Speedway (Mayetta, KS) for another night of racing with the stars of the United States Modified Touring Series.

Hejna started deep in the field for his heat race. He moved forward, but didn't earn enough USMTS Passing Points to make the A-Main. Forced to run a B-Main, Hejna missed a transfer to the main event by one spot.

Hejna was forced to take a provisional start, but he made the most of it. After starting "shotgun" on the grid (24th), Hejna worked through the field and finished 10th.

Season Opener At McCool Postponed

The O'Reilly USMTS National Tour season opener scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, March 7-8, at the Junction Motor Speedway in McCool Junction, NE, has been postponed.

According to track promoter Delmar Friesen, the sub-freezing temperatures this week will greatly hamper track preparation. Rather than subject fans and drivers to arctic cold and a possible rough racing surface, the event has been postponed.

The event will now be held on Friday and Saturday, March 21-22. In the event of a cancellation on Friday, we will not race on Sunday due to the Easter Holiday.

Friday's event will pay $2,000 to win while the victor in Saturday’s main event will pocket $3,000. More than 70 entries are once again expected for the annual event at the 3/8-mile high-banked clay oval.
