The Budweiser Fastrak Late Models took to
the track for the Feature with a field of 17 cars. Tom
Naeyaet #9 took the lead quickly. It seemed that Dan
Wanta #27 had something break, sending him for a ride down the
front wall. After some hard racing, Dennis Schultz #39 over
took Jeff Bodendorfer to take second with Jeff bringing home
third place.
The Coors Light Modifieds started with a
full field of 20 cars. Only a few cautions flew compared
to last weeks race. When it was all said and done, Brad
Mcquire #53 pulled off the clean sweep winning his heat race
and the feature. Oshkosh's Brian Drexler #8 fought hard
but just fell hundreds of a second short taking home second in
front on Scott Mullen.
The Total Power Sales Street Stocks
feature ran Green to Checkers with some great door to door
racing. it only took Jerry Winkler #2 a couple of laps
to jump into the lead. Brian Drexler #8 pushed hard trying to
catch Winkler but it was not to be, leaving Brian with a
second. Daniel Knaus #22 seemed to have hit his set up
right for the heavy track. Daniel, brought her home in third,
for one of his best finishes of the season!
The Miller Lite Grand Nationals started
with 18 cars. Brett Wenzel held off the charge of Adan
Pugh #71 to bring home the win. Adam finished second just
ahead of Scott Houpt in the #67. Brian Henrys' night
ended on the infield after a mishap on the front stretch.
Rounding out the night was the Lynn's
Service Center, Dirt Devils. Seventeen of these 4
cylinder wonders hit the track. When it was in the books
it was Tyler Lind in the #97 taking home the iron. Chris
Quaintance # 98 nearly pulled off the clean sweep but had to
settle for 2nd. Dave Wilkins in the purple #222 had his
car back in form after his spectacular roll over last week,
Dave finished third this week instead of finishing on the
hook...

It
was a beautiful night for racing... Country USA was in town,
but they only had a small effect on the Speedzone
attendance. After last weeks show, It was clear to see
it was time for the track promoters and flagman to take back
some control of the racing. Driving was getting out of
hand... with way to much banging, pushing, and driving out of
control! Flagman Mark Winters informed the drivers that
he will no longer use the Black flag in the warning
mode. If he has to bring it out, someone is leaving the
track. This writer don't know if the drivers got the
message or if it was the heavy track, but the driving was
better, Mark only used the Back flag twice. The racing
program was slightly delayed, as extra time was needed for
track packing. After the packing, the street stocks took
to the track. It took some finesse to race in these
early races as the track was still quite greasy. It
seemed as though Ross Loose's car liked the Greasy track as
Ross made his first trip to victory lane this year. It
appeared that Adam Pugh #71's decision to pay a disciplinary
fine to the points fund, instead of taking 2 weeks off, paid
off for Adam. Adam won his heat race. Race after race
the track continued to improve. By Feature time, I felt
we had one of the best tracks of the season, breading fast
racing on dust and some new faces in victory lane. I apologize
to the winners who won after my camera broke, as I was unable
to capture their trip to Victory Lane.
