Redetzke Cashes In, VanStraten Keeps On Rolling
Shawano,WI 6/27/15—“Havoc on the Half Mile” sure lived up to its name as all feature were marred by caution flags. Jake Redetzke made his drive from Eau Claire worthwhile in taking home the $2000 winners share in the late model feature. Jason Czarapata took home $1000 in winning the IMCA Modified feature. Travis VanStraten won his 6th straight and 7th overall IMCA Stock Car feature of the season. While Wyatt Block and Matt Brehmer raced to their first wins at Shawano Speedway.
Ron Berna drew the pole position of the late model feature and took the lead on the opening lap. Redetzke had moved from his seventh place starting position to fourth by lap 2. Lap 3 saw Troy Springborn go to the outside to challenge Berna for the lead. Lap 4 had Berna leading Springborn, Jake Redetzke, Tom Naeyaert, Paul Parker, and Nick Anvelink. Exiting turn four on lap 5 Redetzke made it three wide for the lead with Berna and Springborn. Redetzke beat the field into turn number one to take over the top spot and quickly began to put distance between himself and second running Springborn. Yellow flew on lap 19 as lapped traffic got together on the front stretch of the race track in front of Sprinborn. Springborn was collected in the incident eliminating him from the race. Lap 20 saw Anvelink go three wide with Naeyaert and Berna to move into the second position. Redetzke continued to set the pace though as Anvelink tried to stay within striking distance. Redetzke was able to keep Anvelink at bay for the duration of the race and score the victory.
Brian Joski started outside row one of the IMCA Modified feature and put his machine in the lead on lap one. Polesitter Jimmy Bartelt Sr. pulled into second behind Joski. A lap four caution slowed the paced and bunched the field back up. Eddie Muenster raced around Bartelt to move to second on lap five and went to work trying to hunt down Joski. By lap 10 Jason Czarapata had raced to third behind Joski and Muenster. On lap 11 Czarapata used the inside line to pass Joski for the lead. Mechanical woes for Eddie Muenster on lap 12 brought out a caution and forced Muenster to the pits. In the end it was Czarapata claiming his first win of the year at Shawano Speedway. Jerry Wilinski took second in front of Matt Oreskovich and Joski.
Gary Kasperek snagged the lead on the opening lap of the IMCA Stock Car feature and led until lap 3 when Travis VanStraten took to the inside of Kasperek in turn one to take the lead away. VanStraten led the rest of the way fending off the challenges of Mike Schmidt and Shawn Wagner to win his 7th feature through 8 nights of racing this season. Wagner finished second in front of Schmidt.
The IMCA Sport Mod feature was cut short to only four laps due to numerous cautions. Brandon NyGaard led the opening lap before being passed by Wyatt Block on a lap 2 restart. Block went on to win his first of the season at Shawano Speedway. Jordan Bartz finished the race in second, NyGaard took third.
Aaron Milavitz led to opening to laps of the Mighty Four feature before giving way to Matt Brehmer and Brad Wedde. Brehmer and Wedde each took turns leading the feature before Brehmer took the lead for good on lap nine. It was the first win for Brehmer at Shawano Speedway. Wedde took second. Milavitz finished third.
