May 27, 2006;
Marshfield, WI: - Hot and muggy weather greeted the many
fans for Buck Night. Tim Hintz scored his first super late model
fast time. Matt Pyburn made it three fast times in a row with
his super stock. Wayne Dietz was quickest timer in the 1-Man
cruisers.
Elliott Weiler led the 20 car field of super late
models through the first three circuits. Jason Weinkauf passed
Weiler for the lead successfully on lap four. Chris Weinkauf
then began challenging Weiler for the second spot. A few laps
later he was successful and then began the chase for the lead.
As Chris Weinkauf began try and reel in his brother Jason, the
field behind raced hard to advance their spots. Weiler continued
to hold onto the third spot with Eugene Gregorich Jr, Jeff
Weinfurter and M.G. Gajewski all trying to pick up a spot.
Gregorich battled with Weiler working for that third spot and
got it on lap 12. Weinfurter then began trying to take the
fourth spot from Weiler, but Gajewski made the move on
Weinfurter to grab the fifth spot. Meanwhile Jason Weinkauf
continued to lead the field ahead of his brother to the
checkers. Jason Weinkauf took the win, Chris Weinkauf second,
Gregorich third, Weiler fourth and Gajewski fifth.
The caution flew before a lap was even completed in the super
stock feature for the spun car of Scott Simons. Larry Schultz
led the first lap once it was back underway. Matt Raykowski took
the lead for the next five laps. Lap five the caution was out
again for the spun car of Bruce Stanley. Several more cautions
would plague the super stock feature race, but Cale Laessig, the
new leader, would take them through each one as he held out for
the win. Raykowski, Randy Meyer, Chad Scholl and Schultz would
all swap back and forth within the top five. Wes Coon and Matt
Pyburn raced to the front and were in the top five for the last
half of the race. The yellow came out with only three to go,
when a smoke problem with Coon’s car became worse. Coon retired
his machine to the pits. Pyburn then slide up into the third
spot with Weinfurter and Randy Emmerich moving up in the top
five. Emmerich then had troubles and also pitted. Laessig led
the field for the win, Scholl second, Pyburn third, Weinfurter
fourth and Travis Zvolena fifth.

A dozen daring cyclists fought it out on the blacktop tonight;
and after practice it looked like the blacktop was winning; with
Hatley’s Steve Kasten falling by himself in turn two as his
front tire washed out. His leathers and helmet did their job and
he recovered his speed with a close 3rd place finish in the
first heat behind Mark Zeidler and Brad Seavers. The second heat
was a four-man shoot out between Randy Ruffi of Duluth, Troy
Johnson of Big Falls, TJ Zeidler of Ringle and Marshfield’s
Cliff Eckes Jr. Eckes gapped the field at the end setting up a
very interesting ten lap feature race.
With the top three from each heat on the front row, six
engines revved madly waiting for the twitch of the starters
green flag. Off the line they sped, into turn one a spray of
sparks off their steel shoes and tires smoking off into the
backstretch. The Zeidler brothers, Mark and TJ shared the lead
for the first lap before the younger Mark hurtled his 450 Honda
into the lead, setting a pace no one else could match. But luck
was not on his side as his rear sprocket came off, dashing his
chances for a clear cut victory; and bringing out the red flag.
The remaining riders lined up single file for a restart; and
all slammed into the first corner, charging out onto the
straightaway in groups two and three wide. TJ Zeidler held onto
the lead for the first lap but on lap two the practice crash not
slowing down Steve Kasten, he burst into the lead. Marshfield’s
Cliff Eckes Jr. followed his wheel tracks past Zeidler for
second, but although he could match Kasten’s pace he could not
pass him, and Steve Kasten put his name in the record book as
the first cycle feature winner at Marshfield Super Speedway for
2006.
