Page 384 Lincoln Daily News 2025 Logan County Fair Jul/Aug 2025 After several minutes of clearing the track, it was on to the second round. This round was for hobo cars from 1980 or later. There were only four drivers this time, with their numbers being 34, 22, 11G, and 19. The crowd once again counted them down, and they were off . The drivers in this round were not so keen on only using the beck sides of their vehicles, with some electing to smash head on. This round went rather quickly, with 19 getting out fi rst, followed by 11G. This left 34 and 22, with 34, driven by Joshua Sutton, pulling out the win. Things were moving along quickly, but the next round proved to be the lengthiest one yet. This round was for minivans and SUVs, and there were ten drivers total. The car names were 05K, Iron Man, Crazy Train, 9B, 3JR, 93, 02, 25T, 447, and D8J. The drivers were counted down and then got to smashing. A red fl ag was called pretty early on, and all the divers came to a halt. This was followed by a second red fl ag. As the second red fl ag was being addressed, there was a large boom, followed by a car on the right side of the track smoking. Firefi ghters also came and checked out a car on the left side of the track. It was determined that 05K had to be removed from the track before the derby could continue. Car after car continued to stall out and die, and then there were only two. 3JR and D8J were the last two cars left. There was some back and forth, but in the end D8J, driven by Daniel Crowder, was victorious. Continued --
