Josh Holt | DriverWebsites.com | 07/13/2011 | - Traditionally, the Lunstra/Dobmeier Motorsports team starts their race weekend at their home track of River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Changing paths just a bit, the team elected to race with the Outlaws once again at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin, this past Friday.

Going into the event, the team was very confident after their strong run with the Best of the Best, just a couple weeks ago in Princeton, Minnesota. “Our team has been strong against these guys and Cedar Lake (Speedway) is an awesome racetrack,” adds the driver of the Senske and Son Right Choice Electric #13. “I wasn’t feeling well at all, but I figured we’d better take the opportunity.”

In the later part of last week, Mark came down with a bad sinus infection that certainly put Mark behind the eight ball.

Mark Dobmeier started the night out by qualifying 17th with an 11.487 and then finished 6th from the third row in the second heat race. Lining up on the outside of the eighth row at 16th for the start of the 35 lap World of Outlaw Main Event, “Dynamite” Dobmeier charged up to 10th ahead of four Outlaw regulars to cap off the night.

“It was a little bit of a struggle,” says Mark, “but we had a great run to make it up to the top ten. We love racing with these guys and I know we have it in us to win one of these deals.”
Following Cedar Lake was “HCI Wells Fargo 410 Twin Features” night at the legendary ½ mile of Knoxville Raceway on Saturday. Dobmeier set an 11th quick time late in the lineup and then finished where he started at 3rd in the second heat race.

Mark lined up on the inside of the fifth row next to the 7K of Robby Wolfgang for the start of the first of two main events and charged forward up inside the top five to fourth.

For the second of the twin features, Mark started 14th and raced up eighth to cap off the night.

By the time Mark was finished with the second main, he was dog-tired and really struggling trying to make it through the rest of the race due to not feeling up to par. “It was definitely tough!” exclaims Mark. “By this time I basically wanted the weekend to be done with, but we had the big 5 grand to win at Huset’s Speedway the next night, so I tried to get some sleep and prepare myself for that race.”

Mark was in his worst shape of the weekend going into the anticipated $5,000 to win weekly night at Huset’s Speedway, but he “bucked” down and set a fourth quick time just 3 hundredths of QT driver Lynton Jeffrey.

Shane Stewart (57) got the lead from Donovan Peterson (3) at the start of the second heat in which Dobmeier started fifth and finished fifth in the Senske and Son Right Choice Electric #13.

Huset’s Speedway prepared an awesome racetrack for the big $5,000 to win Main Event; it was a track that had lines on the bottom and the top and it made for an awesome display of talented drivers throughout the 25 laps.

“I was very happy with the surface,” says Mark, “I just was barely making it under my helmet throughout the race. I was sick. I’ve never been that sick before! We still managed a fifth by the time the checkered flag flew, so all in all I can’t complain too much.”

Mark, at the age of thirty, finally went to the doctor for the first time that he can remember this past Monday, (other than broken bones, ect.) and received some meds and is starting to feel much better. Expect to see “Dynamite” Dobmeier at the front this coming weekend as the Lunstra/Dobmeier Motorsports team will begin their traditional three-day weekend this Friday starting with River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, ND, followed by Knoxville Raceway on Saturday, and then Huset’s Speedway on Sunday.
