FRANK KREYER & JEFF WEINFURTER SCORE YRRS FEATURE WINS!  BRIAN BACK VISITS VICTORY LANE!

Fairchild, WI; September 12, 2010 – Fans were treated to some of the best weather all year and doubling with some of the best racing all year, here today, at Marshfield Motor Speedway.

 

Neil Knoblock clocked in the fastest of 32 Super Late Models, all vying for the Fall Shootout Champion coupling with the Yellow River Racing Season Championship.  With Mark Kraus holding a slight advantage over track champion Jason Weinkauf, and Eugene Gregorich looming in third place, it was sure to be an exciting day of twin 50-lap feature events.

 

On the pole of the first Yellow River Racing Series 50-lap feature event was Kris Kelly.  Kelly already notched two other feature wins over the Fall Shootout weekend, was certainly looking to add a third.  Kelly led the first 47 of the first 50 laps with fending off challenges from Mark Kraus, Chad Selk, Neil Knoblock, and Wisconsin Rapids, WI ace, Mark Eswein.  With Selk falling off the pace with mechanical issues, it left the door wide open for Frank Kreyer to take his shot at Kris Kelly.  With three laps remaining, Kreyer stuck his nose to the inside of Kelly entering turn one.  As the two drivers powered down the backstretch, Kreyer was able to out horse Kelly and gain the top spot.  Once the pass was complete, Kreyer was able to cruise to the Yellow River Racing Series feature win.  With Kris Kelly and Mark Eswein finishing second and third, fast timer Neil Knoblock and Florida driver Dalton Zehr rounded out the top five.

With Mark Kraus trailing Jason Weinkauf for the Yellow River Racing Series Championship by 1 point, and Eugene Gregorich within striking distance, anything could happen in the second 50-lap feature event.  Added to the YRRS Championship, anyone of a dozen drivers were still in contention for the overall Fall Shootout Championship!

 

With the inversion after the first 50-lap feature event, many of the top contenders started the second feature in the mid-pack.  Chris Brooks led the first handful of laps and then was overtaken by Michigan ace driver, Tom Linquist. Linquist would also lead 5 laps before being overtaken by Adam White.  White, who was driving for Mike Butz in the familiar number 8, would lead the next 20-laps getting some heavy pressure from Linquist and Jeff Weinfurter. Other drivers working their way through the field from deep in the pack was Ben Pettis, Skylar Holzhausen, and Rookie of the Year ace, Ronnie Rihn. Another driver having a very impressive run was that of Ohio native Matt Tifft. Tifft, racing for Iron Eagle Racing, worked his way to a top 5 spot by lap-30. On lap-30, Jeff Weinfurter worked his way to the inside of Adam White and earned the top spot.  With Weinfurter enjoying a comfortable lead, maybe the best racing was Ben Pettis working his way through the field.  Pettis, from his 17th starting position, worked his way past Frank Nitzke, and set his sights on second place driver Adam White.  One of the best moves of the day was Ben Pettis on Adam White.  Entering turn three, Pettis faked to pass outside, and shot to the inside of White.  By the time the two drivers entered turn one, Pettis had a two-car length lead.  With only 3-laps remaining and Jeff Weinfurter enjoying a six-car length lead, it appeared Pettis, in the Redline Speedsports #7-11 would have to settle for second.  Pettis, in three laps, cut Weinfurter’s lead in half, but there wasn’t enough time for the former Marshfield Motor Speedway track champion.  Weinfurter, crossed the line first winning one of his biggest feature wins in several years.  With Ben Pettis settling for second, Berlin, WI driver Frank Nitzke came home in a very respectable third place. Adam White, Tom Linquist, and last year’s Fall Shootout Champion Skylar Holzhausen, rounded out the top six.

Twenty D&D Amusement Games Super Stocks took to the ½ mile paved oval of Marshfield Motor Speedway for their Fall Shootout feature event. 

Nick Clements took the lead away from Don Tieman and continued to lead the first nine of 23 laps. On lap 10, Ryan Hinner took over the helm and continued to lead until lap 14.  That was when Brian Back decided it was his turn at the front of the pack.  Back edged by Hinner and started to build a sizable lead.  Randall Wilhorn, who earlier in the day turned the quickest time in qualifying, had to work his way from the back as he got involved in an earlier caution.  Wilhorn did some masterful driving working his way to the third spot with three laps remaining.  With Brian Back enjoying a comfortable lead, Ryan Hinner was having his been run of the year racing in the second position.  Unfortunately, a non-super stock car made contact with Hinner, causing a right front flat.  This allowed Ernie Schlough and Randall Wilhorn the opportunity to work their way to the second and third postion.  Once Patrick Barrett threw the checkered flag, it was all Brian Back.  Schlough and Wilhorn finished second and third respectively, with Hinner doing a masterful job hanging on to the fourth spot.  Keith Bohmsach, driving the #16 car, rounded out the top five.

After a season away from the track, the Pure Stocks were back in action for their Fall Shootout feature.  Kyle Genett grabbed the early lead away from Randy Polansky and built a sizable lead.  Genett, who is fast wherever he races, was going to be hard to beat.  Ben Capek, Caleb Marzofka, and Jake Capek made several attempts to run Genett down, but to no avail.  Genett cruised to the feature win with Ben Capek capturing second place and Caleb Marzofka racing his way to the third position.  Dean Ashbacker and Jake Capek rounded out the top five.

The always exciting 4-Cylinders lined up for their 25-lap feature event and Rick Brandl blasted to the early lead.  Brandl’s lead was short lived however as Phil Malouf powered his #32 machine to the front, on lap three.  Malouf, a Northern Wisconsin driver, is extremely fast wherever he travels to race. The young talent built a large lead before Adam Eckes and Ernie Schlough raced their way out of the pack of 17 cars.  As it was though, it was all Phil Malouf winning his first feature of the year at Marshfield Motor Speedway.  Adam Eckes, Ernie Schlough, Steve Hauser, and Dale Louze finished second through fifth respectively.

Sportsman drivers visited Marshfield Motor Speedway on Fall Shootout weekend and provided much excitement.  Mark Challet grabbed the early lead but Nick Clements quickly overtook the top spot.  By lap 9, Wayne Mackesy pushed his familiar #93 to the second spot. With Nick Clements building a nice lead, it was too little, too late for Mackesy as he made a nice attempt cutting into the lead that Clements built.  Clements scored a nice win for his team with Mackesy a close second.  Mark Challet, Kyle Genett, and Caleb Marzofka rounded out the top five.
