What won the race: Completing a Malvern Bank East and West Series weekend sweep, polesitter Tad Pospisil of Norfolk, Neb., earned his second dominant flag-to-flag victory in Saturday's 30-lap Bob Haase Memorial at his home track of Off Road Speedway. Pospisil was unchallenged en route to the $5,000 payday as he took the checkers a distant 3.035 seconds ahead of Dylan Sillman for his third victory this season on both Malvern Bank-sponsored sister tours.
Key notes: Pospisil, who led all 25 laps in the previous night's co-sanctioned event at nearby Thayer County Speedway in Deshler, Neb., notched his fifth overall win of the season. ... It's his seventh career special since 2020 at his home track and fifth on a Malvern Bank-sponsored tour, adding to West Series wins there in 2020, '21, '24 and '25. ... Pospisil captured his second Off Road victory this season, adding to May 2's Tri-State Late Model Series triumph. ... Third-starting Dylan Sillman used a daring turn-four slide job to clear Blair Nothdurft for second on a lap-11 restart, but never had anything for Pospisil in the race's final two-thirds. ... Nothdurft, who entered as the points leader on both Malvern Bank tours, reclaimed third from Jake Neal on the final lap, nipping him by 0.164 of a second at the checkers and dropping Neal to fourth. ... The race was slowed by four cautions, the first on the third lap when second-running Jesse Sobbing and Kyle Berck pitted with separate issues; they continued and rallied to finish ninth and 10th, respectively. ... Fifth-running Jason Hahne over-rotated on the ensuing restart, collecting Kale Kosiski and Jadyn Friesen; Hahne retired while Kosiski continued until losing an engine to draw the fourth and final stoppage on lap 11. ... Corey Zeitner spun on lap five just as Mike Collins appeared to lose an engine; Zeitner rebounded to place 12th. ... The 30-lapper lasted 19 minutes with 13 starters completing the distance and 16 running at the finish.
On the move: Bill Leighton Jr. of La Vista, Neb., started 18th and finished eighth.
