LINCOLN —&nbsp;The Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission has unanimously approved transferring a racing license from a racetrack in Hastings to a new facility in Ogallala.

Commissioners voted 7-0 Friday to allow the license transfer for Hastings Exposition and Racing Inc. The company plans to partner with Elite Casino Resorts, which owns the resort in Grand Island, and plans to establish a multi-track quarter horse racing circuit in western Nebraska.&nbsp;

The Hastings company had tried for multiple years to set up a “racino” and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for a location that would have been about 17 to 20 miles from Grand Island’s Fonner Park. It announced&nbsp;<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/western-nebraska-casino-possible-as-plans-announced-for-a-racing-license-in-ogallala/">plans last summer</a>&nbsp;for the license transfer.

State law allows a one-time license move because Hastings was one of the state’s “original” racetrack locations. The&nbsp;<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/nebraska-commission-advances-first-step-for-ogallala-racetrack-approves-first-ever-table-games/">move</a>&nbsp;must be to a Nebraska county where there isn’t already a racetrack; in this case, the license is moving from Adams County to Keith County.

A June market study determined the move would be positive.

Commissioner Shane Greckel said commissioners cleared up final questions during Friday’s meeting, so he was “very happy to move forward on it.”

“I was happy to see that industry grow because quarter horses haven’t seen that yet,” Greckel said Friday evening. “It’s nice to see it.”

Greckel said some of his questions were about process. He wanted to ensure uniformity with other venues in Lincoln, Columbus and Ogallala, saying consistency is the basis of good governance.

He further explained that the planned Lake Mac Casino Resort and Racetrack, which would be on the southwest corner of Interstate 80 and Highway 26, would be a “great opportunity.”

Lake McConaughy is already a “destination event,” for example, with the resort providing year-round entertainment and a new venue for quarter horse racing. Nebraska has more quarter horses than Thoroughbreds, he said.&nbsp;

The transfer would also build on an agricultural need and demand in western Nebraska.

“Let’s face it, Omaha and Lincoln, eastern Nebraska, is very developed,” Greckel said. “We need to work on our neighbors out there to the west and help them out to make sure they have the same types of entertainment and investments as the eastern part does. This is just that next step.”

Commissioners on Friday also unanimously decided WarHorse Casino could open its doors in Omaha beginning Aug. 6.

In other news, four finalists were previously selected for the gaming commission’s next executive director.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A new state law,&nbsp;<a href="https://nebraskalegislature.gov/bills/view_bill.php?DocumentID=54893" target="_blank">Legislative Bill 839</a>, that took effect April 3 gives Gov. Jim Pillen the authority to approve the commission’s pick.

The commission will forward a name to Pillen following its August meeting. The finalists:

<a>JULY 19, 2024 (NORTH PLATTE, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>—&nbsp;&nbsp;Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) have arrested a man following a pursuit in Lincoln County.

Thursday evening at approximately 6:00 p.m., a trooper patrolling on Highway 83 near mile marker 104 attempted a traffic stop on a motorcycle traveling at 122 miles per hour. The driver accelerated and the trooper initiated a pursuit.

During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle reached speeds above 140 miles per hour and fled through a no passing zone. Lincoln County deputies joined the pursuit, but visual was lost after the suspect vehicle turned north onto Highway 97. The trooper terminated the pursuit.

A short time later, another trooper saw a motorcycle matching the suspect’s description on Highway 92, west of Stapleton. The trooper initiated a traffic stop and confirmed it was the same rider who had fled the initial pursuit.

The driver was identified as Noah Fullerton, 21, and was arrested for operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest, no motorcycle license, willful reckless driving, and traffic violations.

North Platte, Neb. - The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office and first responders responded to a one-vehicle, fatal accident Thursday morning outside of North Platte.&nbsp;

According to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office (LCSO), shortly before 10:00 am Thursday, deputies and first responders were dispatched to an accident on West A Street, several miles west of North Platte.&nbsp;

The LCSO states as deputies arrived on the scene, they found a 2000 Monte Carlo that had heavy frontend damage from hitting a tree and two occupants inside the vehicle. The female driver was seriously injured, and the male passenger was deceased. Evidence indicates the accident happened hours earlier.&nbsp;

The vehicle's driver was identified as Addison Malone, 18, from Ogallala. Officials say that Malone may have been confused about what road she was driving on and did not realize that she was on A Street, which is a dead-end street. The driver failed to see the warning signs and hit a large tree, head-on, at a high rate of speed. Malone suffers from serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The deceased passenger was identified as Nathaniel Sandavol, 18 of Ogallala.&nbsp;

The North Platte Rescue had to use extraction equipment to open the vehicle to remove the occupants. Both occupants were wearing seatbelts.&nbsp;LCSO says alcohol was a factor in the accident and criminal charges are pending for Malone. The investigation remains ongoing.

JULY 19, 2024 (NORTH PLATTE, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol have arrested a Texas man following a fatal crash in southwest Nebraska.

Thursday, at approximately 6:55 a.m. CT, the Hitchcock County Sheriff’s Department requested Troopers to assist in responding to a fatal crash that involved two semi-trucks and trailers. The crash occurred at the intersection of Highway 6 and Highway 25.
