Letizia and Mother Nature Win at PDTR
Fans and drivers braved the elements for a few rounds of weather roulette. A few short showers and two delays PDTR finally lost to Mother Nature after our Johnsonville Sausage Late Model Feature. PDTR has decided to increase purse 50% for a different division the next four weeks starting with Late Models next week along with extended features.
Johnsonville Sausage Late Models rolled trackside first with Eric Michaels and Turk Letizia setting the pace. Letizia nestled in behind a very fast Michaels with Kyle Odekirk and Mitch McGrath trailing. Letizia passed Michaels on lap 8 to gain control of the field. Tim Buhler and McGrath swapped positions a few times on an extremely smooth and fast track. Rick Scheffler attempted to close in on Odekirck for second. Brad Mueller and Justin Schmidt battled for sixth position. Mechanical issues sent Craig Scheffner, Jim Schmidt, Ron Stroika and Eric Michaels to the pits early. When the double checkers waived Letizia (Milwaukee) soared past first trailed by Odekirk (Plymouth), Rick Scheffler (Waukesha), Tim Buhler (Glenbeulah) and Mitch McGrath (Waukesha). Letizia set a new track record of 6:05; also choose the trophy that included a crisp $100 bill. Thank you to RC Custom Design for being the evening Trophy Sponsor.
Heat Winners: Rick and Russ Scheffler (both of Waukesha)
Aldag Honald Mechanical Sprint Cars took the green flag until an immediate caution for Kevin Karnitz who flipped into the catch wall between turns 1 and 2. As lineup was complete for the restart, rain started to fall heavier and after a few laps the show was cancelled for the evening.
B-Main Feature Winner: Randy Sippel (Elkhart Lake)
Heat Winners: Donny Goeden, Shane Wenninger (both from Kewaskum), Ken Jay Fiedler and Kyle Marten (both of Sheboygan Falls).
Feldmann Sales and Service Grand National heat winners: James Pagel (St. Cloud), Jeff Lammers (Plymouth) and Barry Maas (Cascade).
Outlaw Compacts heat winner: Chris Maas (Oakfield)
Big thanks to Johnsonville Sausage for coming on as a Late Model sponsor. Without all the drivers, crews, fans, sponsors and employees throughout the year the PDTR program would not be a success.
