Lovegrove Wins at Eagle

Doug Lovegrove held off a late-charge by Mike Boston to win Eagle Raceway's sprint car A feature on Saturday night.

From what I was told, it sounded like an amazing feature complete with a near photo-finish.

Over the last couple seasons I've become good friends with Doug and the crew, and spent many an evening hanging out in their shop in Waverly.

I can imagine how meaningful this win must be for Doug. At times it's been difficult for him to get back behind the wheel. You may remember the nasty crash Doug suffered at I-80 Speedway back in July 2006. Since then, Lovegrove has primarily been a car owner. This year marks the first time since that crash that Doug is once again driving the car full time.

It's been a long road back for Doug, and winning the feature at Eagle is certainly a well-deserved victory.

I'm also very happy for my buddy Aaron Allgood. He puts a lot of effort into working on Lovegrove Racing's Cow Car, and winning the feature is a great reward for him as well. Hopefully there will be more to come!
