Maas, Schlafke, Hafemann, Goeden and Mueller win at PDTR
on June 8, 2015 at 10:22 amFeldman Sales and Service Grand Nationals were first this evening with Barry Maas and Mark Feiber setting the pace. Don Sorce Jr. and Kevin Lubach made up the next row. Maas seized the lead immediately followed by Sorce until a caution waved for Dave Holm spinning in turns 3 & 4. Kevin Lubach spins Brian Giles into the infield resulting in a black flag for Lubach. Second caution was for Matt Loehr spinning. Maas continues to lead with Sorce trailing and Roger Lee looking in. Giles is slowly making his way back towards the front using the inside groove after spinning earlier. Lee passed Sorce and Brad Lubach was knocking on the door too. Giles just passed a hard charging Mark Fieber for tenth. Loehr brought out his second caution for stalling on the front stretch. Sorce, Jeff Lammers and Matt Yancey ran the cushion in their search of the leaders. Maas continued to lead the field through all these restarts with a very quick pack. Unfortunate luck for Brad Lubach after rubbing the backstretch wall retired to the pits with mechanical issues. Double checkers flew for Maas (Cascade), Sorce (West Allis), Lee (Windlake), Lammers (Plymouth) and Giles (Plymouth). Hard Charger Steven Weber passing 9.
Heat Winners: Barry Maas (Cascade), Mark Fieber (Cascade) and Tim Simon (Fond du Lac)

Schlafke sprung into first on the drop of the green with Cody Pankow tucked in behind. Brody Rivest started fifth and after two laps was only third, since Schlafke had checked out.

Johnny Fahl and Bob Brion make up the front row of the Super Mod feature. Last week winner Butchie Hafemann and Roy Stern make up the second row. When the green flag waved Fahl jumped out to the lead running mid to high on the track, closely contested by Bob Brion. Positions stay consistent till a caution waved for Ronald Fellers car stalled in turn 3 after coming in contact with the back stretch wall. On the restart Hafemann slid right around Fahl and Brion to gain the lead. Could Hafemann win his second feature in two weeks since his last was back in 1981? Dan Kruschke battles Brion for third. When the checkers flew it was Hafemann (Campbellsport) for a second week, followed by Fahl (Brown Deer), Brion (Plymouth), Stern (Hustisford) and Randy Ostermann (Howard Grove).

Aldag Honald Mechanical Sprints pushed off next with Jim Melis and Kurt Davis on the front row. Melis pulled out to lead and Davis almost lost it in turn 2 getting all out of sorts after hitting the cushion. Davis straightens out and gets back into second with Tony Wondra in third. Goeden is quickly maneuvering his way through traffic. Melis is coming up on lapped traffic just as a caution waved for Robbie Pribnow hitting the turn two wall and folding over an axel. Melis runs high on the restart allowing Goeden by on the inside with Kurt Davis in tow. Tim Haddy stayed consistent and now battling Goeden for the lead. Goeden started to lap traffic on lap 20. Final caution waves for Kurt Davis and lapped car of Nich Melis colliding and hitting the turn 3 and 4 wall. They were both unable to finish the evening. The green, white, checkers restart really changed the final few laps with a few drivers having their best finish of the year. Double checkers few for Goeden (Kewaskum), Paul Pokorski (West Bend), Haddy (Waupun), Chris Clayton (Waldo) and Jason Johnson (Campbellsport). Hard Chargers were Chris Clayton and Justin Miller passing 11 each.

Johnsonville Sausage Late Models were the final feature of the evening with Billy Rezitek and Brad Mueller setting the pace. Green flag start was waved off after a few cars got bunched up on the start. Restart was more impressive as Mueller pulled out to an early lead on the high side with Rezitek tucked in behind. Kyle Odekirch found himself surrounded by Schefflers while running fifth. T.J. Dolhun tucked inside Mueller a few times to try and get passed. We had two father/son battles occurring as well; Jim and Justin Schmidt for twelfth, Taylor and Rick Scheffler for fourth. Tim Buhler caught the turn 2 wall with minor damage to spoiler. Mueller was running more and more of the middle line trying to hold off T.J. Dolhun. Mueller caught lapped traffic and passes them on the inside on lap 20. Rezitek attempted to pass Dolhun on the closing laps. Checkers flew for Brad Mueller (Random Lake) on his 100th night of racing at PDTR, T.J. Dolhun (Milwaukee), Billy Rezitek (Big Bend), Taylor and Rick Scheffler (Waukesha).
