Jake Bubak Proves Dominance at Dodge City Raceway Park for Sprint Car Nationals Opener Night with United Rebel Sprint Series

DODGE CITY, Kansas (August 20, 2020) – The Lucas Oil POWRi United Rebel Sprint Series presented by Mel Hambelton Ford Racing took on night one of the Lubbock Wrecker Service Sprint Car Nationals at Dodge City Raceway Park on Thursday night. Jake Bubak, a regular and three time champion with the United Rebel Sprint Series, picked up right where he left off at Dodge City Raceway Park after sweeping all three nights of last year’s Sprint Car Nationals. After winning his heat race, Bubak went on to lead all 25 laps of the feature event and claim the victory on night one of the Fourth Annual Sprint Car Nationals.

While Bubak led all 25 laps, it was Texas-native John Carney II up to challenge Bubak for the lead. Carney made a few attempts at a slide-job on Bubak throughout the race, but Bubak was dominant around the top and remained in position.

United Rebel Sprint Series driver, Jeremy Huish, would finish third in Thursday night’s feature event when a post-race inspection was failed by Lorne Wofford, who originally crossed the line in third. Lincoln, Nebraska’s Jason Martin finished fourth from a 15th place starting position, and United Rebel Sprint Series driver Taylor Velasquez rounded out the top-five after transferring from the B-Feature and also earing the Keizer Wheels Hard Charger award.

Several regulars with the United Rebel Sprint Series finished in the top-ten on the first night of preliminary action, as Zach Blurton finished sixth, Monty Ferriera seventh, Jordan Knight eighth, Luke Cranston ninth, and Steven Richardson tenth.

Heading into the second night of preliminary action for the Fourth Annual Sprint Car Nationals, Bubak leads the field in points by 5.5 points over John Carney II. Jeremy Huish, Jason Martin, Taylor Velasquez, and Zach Blurton round-out the top six in points. The top six in combined points from both Thursday and Friday preliminary nights will be locked into Saturday’s Hambelton Racing Dash for Cash.
