Fairchild, WI, May 12, 2012 – After consecutive weeks postponed due to inclement weather, Mother Nature provided the fans, drivers, and crews with a glorious day for what proved to be, great racing action here tonight at Marshfield Motor Speedway.

Super Late Models were on the docket with their season opener, and with the drivers competing fans were surely in for a treat!  Colin Reffner, who has proved to be fast wherever he races, notched fast time with a lap time of 18.010. Brett Piontek and Corey Jankowski led the way to the green flag for the 35-lap feature event.  Jankowski was fast out of the gate leading the first three laps. However, Green Bay’s Piontek was having nothing to do with Jankowski’s lead, on the fourth lap, he out powered Jankowski through corners 1 & 2 and took the lead.  As Piontek stretched his lead to four car lengths over the rest of the field, Don “Thunder” Turner, Jankowski, and Mark Eswein all battled tightly for the runner up position.  By lap eight, Eswein worked his way past Jankowski and now had his sights set on a very fast Piontek car.  Eswein looked inside and out of Piontek for numerous laps, but finally, on lap 18, Eswein drove his #36 super late model hard and deep into corner number three, and earned the top spot.  Another fast car working his way through the field was that of Jim Sauter, Jr.  Sauter, Jr may have had the fastest car in the field.  Sauter, Jr. worked his way to second on lap 30 as he edged by Piontek.  Eswein had a comfortable lead built up, as much as 7 car lengths to be exact.  The question was, could Sauter Jr. run Mark Eswein down in five laps?  As the drivers edged closer to the checkered flag, it was evident that this race was coming down to the last lap.  Sauter, Jr. did a miraculous job with his #51 machine; he ran Eswein down, and as they entered the final turn, stuck his nose inside of Eswein.  However, it was the veteran driver of Eswein crossing the finish line first to win yet another feature win at Marshfield Motor Speedway.  With Sauter Jr. coming home in second, Illinois driver Tanner Whitten, Green Bay’s Piontek, and rookie driver Ryan Hinner rounded out the top five.  Super Late Model heat winners were Erin Schlough, Mark Eswein, and Ben Pettis, with Ryan Hinner winning the Napa of Marshfield Dash 4 Cash.

Kyle Wolosek is starting out the 2012 race season just as he ended 2011, fast!  Wolosek earned fast time honors by tripping the clock at 20.002 in the Super Stock Division.  It was Brian Weinfurter taking the early lead in the 20-lap super stock feature event.  Weinfurter held the lead until Marv Flick took over the point on lap three.  Flick built up a sizable lead over Weinfurter with fast timer Wolosek working his way through the field.  On lap nine, Kyle Wolosek earned the second position with an outside pass of Weinfurter as the two drivers battled down the back stretch.  Wolosek wasn’t finished yet, the very talented Wisconsin Rapids driver moved past Marv Flick for the top spot on lap 11 of the 20 lap feature event.  With five laps remaining, Claire Decker and Natalie Decker moved into the podium spots, running second and third respectively.  On this particular night however, it was all Kyle Wolosek as he took home the first feature of the year in the super stock division at Marshfield Motor Speedway.  Claire Decker and Natalie Decker edged closer to Wolosek at the race finish, but the young ladies who call Eagle River, WI home, settled for second and third respectively.  Brian Weinfurter and Marv Flick rounded out the top five.

The CWMSA 4-Cylinders took to the racing surface once again and it looks to be another exciting year of competitive racing within this division of racing at MMS.  Derk Hauser grabbed fast time with a lap time of 22.678.  In feature action, Rick Brandl grabbed the early lead with Tim Anderson holding the second spot.  One lap later, it was Anderson taking the point leading the next five laps.  Last year’s track champion Steve Hauser then grabbed the lead from Anderson with Jeffrey Behrens hot on his heels.  Behrens tried numerous times to get to the back bumper of the elder Hauser, but Hauser slammed the door on every attempt.  Tonight, it was all Steve Hauser as got the season off right in defending his championship.  With Hauser taking the checkers and Behrens the runner up position, Derk Hauser grabbed third with Rick Brandl and Scott Cielsieski rounding out the top five. Derk Hauser took home the heat win.

The Bandits were once again in action here tonight at Marshfield Motor Speedway.  This division of racing is made up of stock 4-Cylinders and this competitive group of drivers always put on a fantastic show.  Chili, WI driver Dan Nickel tripped the clock fastest in qualifying with a lap time of 24.171.  Coletta Gomes and Justin Delap took the field to the green flag.  Brian Polansky quickly grabbed the early lead.  That lead was short however for Polansky; Corey Stephens worked his way to the front from his eighth starting position and never looked back taking the checkered flag.  Polansky held on to second with Brian Hudson having a great run coming home in the third spot.  Gary Haarklau and Christine Schmude rounded out the top five.  Christine Schmude and Corey Stephens took home heat wins.

The Midwest Mod 4’s were on site for another night of racing action at MMS.  Phil Malouf once again continued his winning ways in this division taking home fast time, heat, and feature races.  Dale Louze, Robert Dalsky, and Lizzie Hamilton finished second, third and fourth respectively in qualifying, heat, and feature action.

Marshfield Motor Speedway will continue racing action on May 26^th with the running of the first leg of the Yellow River Racing Series, a special 60-lap feature event for the Super Late Models.  Visit us online at www.marshfieldspeedway.com or visit us on Facebook or Twitter for all updates.
