Marshfield Super Late Win!
By Mae Schultz |
June 12, 2005; Marshfield, WI: - Sunday night was Mid-States Hydraulics, Equip. Inc. and
Meyer’s Mfg night at the races. The 75
car driven by Chris Weinkauf had the fast time in the Super Late Model division, but the
Late Model race was won Mark Eswein. Cale Laessig had the quick time and won the feature
in the Super Stocks. In the One-Man Cruiser division, Cody Meyer had the fast time and Tim
Dickman pulled out the win.
In the Super Late Model Feature, Tim Hintz and Darek Gress
fought early for the lead, with Gress prevailing. Then, with 24 laps to go, Eugene
Gregorich came three wide from the outside to take the lead. In the next lap, Gress’s
car had mechanical trouble and was forced to pit. Mark Eswein battled with Gregorich,
trying both the low and high grooves. Eventually, with 7 laps to go, Eswein took the
inside of Gregorich in turns three and four to steal the lead. Gregorich fought off Chris
Weinkauf to hold second, forcing Weinkauf to accept a third place finish. Point leader Ben
Pettis raced in the top five throughout the race and finished fourth, with John Frazier
finishing fifth.
The excitement in the Super Stock Feature was mainly in the race for
second. With 11 laps to go, Cale Laessig, who
started tenth, took the lead and kept it until the finish. After the second
caution of the night, Travis Zvolena and Andy Simonis battled for second, but with 7 laps
to go, Simonis won the battle and kept second place until the checkered flag. After
spinning in lap four and restarting at the rear, Randy Emmerich made a tremendous recovery
to finish third. Zvolena ended up in fourth and Brian Weinfurter finished fifth.

the green flag to the white flag on his SK Service sponsored Yamaha; but his sponsor Steve
Kasten pulled off an inside pass off turn four to steal the victory from his rider. Brad Seavers took the holeshot on his Winch LP Gas
, Rossier Engineering, SK Service , Pro Plates sponsored Honda and disappeared into the
sunset with past winner Mark Zeidler in tow. Brad
held off Mark for the win. All fifteen riders
lined up in three rows for the start of the ten lap final.
Once again Brad Seavers pulled the holeshot into the first turn, but Mark
Zeidler simply blasted by Seavers on the high line going into turn three to secure the top
spot. Third place was a dogfight between TJ
Zeidler, Steve Kasten and local rider Cliff Eckes Jr.
On lap four Steve Kasten fought his way up into second place, but Mark
Zeidler stretched out his lead on his Mom, Dad, TJ and Becky SK Service sponsored Honda,
gapping the rest of the pack for an impressive victory.
