The Budweiser Fastrak Late Models
ran a great races. As the checkers flew... Jim Zdroik #6 took
the checkers, with your new Track champion Tom Naeyaert #9
taking second. AJ Miller #55 hung on for third. When the
cars got to the scales and post race inspection, the #6 was
DQ'ed for a tire infraction, an appeal of the ruling has been
made to Fastrak so the official results and driver payout is
on hold until Fastrak makes an official ruling.
The Coors Light Modifieds started with a
full field of 20 cars. The race started with a huge 10
or car pile up in turn 4. Most were able to continue,
and the race went all the way to checkers after the mishap.
Charlie Ewald #7 walked away with the win. Your 2007 points
Champion Mike Mullen #70 trailed behind Charlie for
second, with Joey Jaeger hot on his heels for Third.
The Total Power Sales Street Stocks
feature again provided some great racing. Brian Drexler and
Jerry kope battled for the win, as Jerry Winkler just worked
at staying out of trouble to seal his track championship. When
the checkers dropped, it was Drexler edging out kope for the
win. Tim Reichenberger drove a hard race coming home in third
to close out his points chase.
The Miller Lite Grand Nationals
had a close points race going for the championship. Tim
Doelhing #5 took the feature win, however it still left him 9
points away from your New Track Champion Jeff Richards
#10 Nick Schumacher #47 grabbed second, just ahead of
Daniel Schumacher won took third.
The Lynn's
Service Center Dirt Devils finished up with your New Track

Credit Union Driver & Member Appreciation Night unfolded
History in the Zone. Charlie Ewald # 7 of Omro took on the
night like a rocket on rails, as others clinched track
championships. Charlie walked away with his heat race...
fans were so happy to see Charlie in Victory Lane for the first
time in Speedzone History. The last time Charlie won a race was
in 1977 at the old Leo's Speedway in Oshkosh. At 62 years
young, there has been a lot of chatter coming from the Ewald
camp of Charlie retiring from racing. as Charlie left
Victory Lane, I told him to listen to me good... and come back
and see me after the Feature. He smiled, and said, wouldn't that
be something? Then came the feature. After the 10 or 11
car pile up was cleared, the green flag waved, and Charlie was
off to the races like a rabbit being chased by a pack of
Grayhounds. As the laps clicked off, fans started to realize no
one had anything for Charlie, as he opened the gap, lap after
lap. As the White flag flew, I looked into the stands to see
nearly every fan on their feet cheering Charlie home for the
win! In Victory Lane for the second time in one night was
emotional for many, as Charlie climbed to the roof of his car
and did an Irish gig. Fans who missed this night, really
missed out on something memorable!
