Marshfield, WI: - A big thanks to all the fans, drivers
and crews that made it to the show on Father’s Day and to our
sponsors: Nasonville Dairy & Webers Farm Store, and Seubert Inc.
The Hoosier Outlaw Winged Sprints proved to be wickedly fast on
the half-mile. Greg Wheeler from Columbia City, IN was the
quickest with a fast lap of 15.089. That is an average of 119
mph around the speedway. The first of three limited late model
events at the speedway this season saw Kyle Bauknecht of
Reedsville set fast time. Mike Havel was the quickest 4-cylinder
and Kyle Genett topped all the Pure Stock events with a clean
sweep.

David Gough of Mechesney Park, IL led the first two laps of the
Sprint feature. Fast timer Greg Wheeler of Columbia City, IN
took the lead from Gough. Tim Cox of Park City, IL flew to the
front with Wheeler. Cox then began to work on Wheeler for the
lead. With only 12 laps remaining, Cox dove to the inside of
Wheeler to take the lead. With only five laps left, the sole
caution of the race flew for the leader, Cox, who spun in turn
two. Wheeler then resumed as the leader for the restart. Cox
wasted no time getting back to the front and started working on
reclaiming the lead. Cox tried to make the pass to the outside
of Wheeler stick, but Wheeler pulled ahead for the win. Cox
second, Gough third, Richey Jacobs of Fort Wayne, IN fourth and
Jim Payne of Brian, OH fifth.
The first couple of laps of the caution free limited late model
feature were led by Chris LaRocque. Justin Woller then made his
pass to the inside of LaRocque to take the lead. Fast timer Kyle
Bauknecht raced his way from the back to the front and into the
second spot on lap six. LaRocque continued to race. Kyle Calmes
challenged LaRocque for that third spot on lap ten and
succeeded. Woller led the field to the finish, Bauknecht second,
Calmes third, LaRocque fourth and Brent Zastrow fifth.
Nineteen 4-cylinders took the green for the feature. Ricky
Brandl aka “The Kid” led the race for the first ten laps. Erin
Schlough and Adam Krzykowski battled to stay in the top five
against Don Dunow, Kyle Opelt and Jeremiah Strauss. Steve
Stewart was also making his way to the front of the pack moving
up into third on lap seven. Three laps later he took second and
the following lap passed Brandl for the lead. Opelt also caught
up to Brandl and took the second spot. Opelt began to challenge
Stewart for the lead. As the two rounded the final corner,
Stewart had to gather his car back up and did so to take the
win. Opelt second, Krzykowski third, Mike Havel fourth and
Strauss fifth.

Eleven cycles from near and far enjoyed the picture perfect
track conditions tonight. Fresh off the national dirt circuit,
Lee Johnson from Big Falls eeked out a close victory over
Bancrofts’ Craig Nigh in the first 6 lap heat race. Fast
starting Rib Lakes’ Brad Seavers headed the pack off the line in
heat two, but Marshfields’ Cliff Eckes Jr. and Hatleys’ Steve
Kasten came roaring by two laps into the fray, while Lee
Johnsons ‘ brother Troy marched his way to the front on lap
four. Eckes briefly retook the point, but Johnson would not be
denied and received the checkers first.
In the ten lap feature race, once again Brad Seavers won the
drag race into turn one, but Eckes and Kasten came screaming by
entering turn three. Duluths’ Randy Ruffi also advanced past
Seavers on lap two to occupy third. Once out front, the trio of
Kasten/Eckes/Ruffi gapped the rest of the field. Further back in
the pack Rapids’ Ron Bean and Big Falls’ Troy Johnson battled
each other as they split the other riders; ending up fourth and
fifth. As the laps wound down, Eckes made several attempts to
pass Kasten; but could not quite get the job done. Then on the
white flag lap Eckes pushed to hard exiting turn four and almost
fell; Kasten crept that much further ahead, while Ruffi shadowed
Eckes across the finish line for third.
