The 87 landed in victory lane 2 Saturdays ago. Krimes’ bid for back-to-back wins was delayed due to violent thunderstorms, last Saturday. Let’s first rewind to Saturday, April 19th. From the seventh starting position, in his heat, Alan pushed the 87 to the second qualifying spot. The heat race was definitely prophetic of the night’s feature. Krimes took the green flag in ninth position and wasted no time working his way through the field. On lap-6, the 87 dove under the Brian Leppo machine to secure the early lead. From that point “He Gone,” was not just a catch phrase, Krimes checked-out from the field time-and-time again, enduring several cautions and restarts. It was a dominating performance from start to finish, in a seemingly ageless ride.


Now skip back to this past weekend. The afore mentioned ageless 87, powered its way past 4 cars to take the checkered flag in heat #2, leaving the 51 of Fred Rahmer and Cory Haas’s 11C half of a track behind, for second and third respectively. What started out to be another fantastic night for Krimes, ended early, thanks to Mother Nature. With qualifying already completed last Saturday, Lincoln Speedway was pounded by rain, hail, and lightening. The 410 sprinters never made it out onto the track. A tentative date, of May 10th, has been set for the make-up feature to be run, but no line-up has been determined thus far.
