Weisnicht Wins In Wire To Wire Fashion
Shawano,WI 5/16/15—Nick Anvelink, Travis VanStraten, and Tracy Wassenberg each made return trips to victory lane. While Mark Weisnicht and Calvin Stueck raced to their first wins of the season.
The opening 5 laps of the late model feature were led by Tim Rothe before a caution flag flew after Jeremy Kazynski got into the wall hard in turns three and four. On the restart of the race Nick Anvelink, who had started in eighth position, took the lead from Rothe. Paul Parker passed Rothe to take second on lap 8. Anvelink continued to pace the field as Troy Springborn raced past Parker for second on lap 15. Anvelink remained in the lead and cruised to his second win of the year over Springborn and Parker.
Mark Weisnicht went wire to wire on the way to winning a caution free IMCA Modified feature. Weisnicht started outside row number one and quickly pulled away from the rest of the field. Tony Wedelstadt gave chase for much of the race but could not catch Weisnicht. Wedelstadt finished the race in second. Matt Oreskovich passed Jerry Wilinski on the final lap to finish in third. It was the first win of the year for Weisnicht.
The IMCA Stock Car feature saw Luke Uttecht lead lap one of the race before Gary Kasperek got inside of the leader to take the top spot on lap 2. Kasperek worked out front while Travis VanStraten began to work his way through the field from his ninth place starting position. On lap 7 with Kasperek still in the lead VanStraten passed Mike Schmidt to take second. The following lap VanStraten put the move on Kasperek for the lead. VanStraten would lead the rest of the race for his third win of the season. Steven Stewart put on a late race charge to take second spot. Harley Simon finished a strong third.
In her second visit to the track Brianna Ambroziak started outside row one of the IMCA Sport Mod feature and took the lead at the drop of the green flag. By lap 3 Tracy Wassenberg raced into second and began to pressure Ambroziak. Lap 6 with Ambroziak still fending off the charges of Wassenberg, Lucas Lamberies passed Jordan Barkholtz to take third in the race. Wassenberg got to the inside of Ambroziak on lap 7 to grab the lead. A caution flew after the conclusion of lap 8 bunching the field up for a lap 9 restart. On lap 9 Lucas Lamberies raced door to door with Wassenberg and held the lead at the flag stand. The following lap Wassenberg took to the highside of Lamberies and grabbed the lead back. Wassenberg led the rest of the way for his second win of the year. Lamberies finished in second. Brock Saunders came home in third.
Calvin Stueck led the entirety of the Mighty Four feature to score his first win of the year. Stueck had to hold off his cousin and last weeks winner Brad Wedde for the win. Josh Slewinski finished third in the race.
