Wi Dirt Racin

Shawano,WI,6/11/16—Big trophies courtesy of the Kim Parsons Memorial Trophy Tour were on the line for racers on Charlies County Market and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College night at the races. Travis VanStraten scored his fifth feature win of the year, Nick Anvelink and Lucas Lamberies each won their third feature of the season, while Shawn Frelich and Calvin Stueck secured win number one. Each of them left with some impressive hardware.
In Late Model action, veteran Jeff Curtin snagged the lead on the opening lap and held the top spot for the first seven laps before Doug Blashe ducked underneath Curtin and powered his way to the lead. As Blashe led, Curtin was pressured by Nick Anvelink for second. Anvelink passed Curtin on lap ten and quickly ran down Blashe to make an inside pass for the lead on lap eleven. Anvelink led the rest of the race for the win. Blashe finished in the runner-up spot. Jared Siefert, Tom Naeyaert, and Curtin took third through fifth.

It is often said that a race can’t be won on the first lap, but in this week’s IMCA Modified feature the race was indeed won on the first lap. Multiple cautions involving numerous cars, combined with the time limit that is in place for each race cost 19 laps of feature racing. Shawn Frelich led the singular green flag lap run in the race, therefore he was credited with the win. Joel Seegert, Eddie Muenster, Lance Arneson, and Cole Petit completed the top five.
In contrary to how the modified feature went, the IMCA Stock Car feature had only one yellow flag. Row two starter Scott VanProoyen grabbed the lead on the opening lap, but quickly began to feel the heat from Rod Snellenberger and Travis VanStraten. Laps five through nine saw the three drivers racing in a tight formation with VanProoyen holding the lead each time at the finish line. On lap ten VanStraten went to the high side of the track and got two for the price of one as he passed Snellenberger and VanProoyen both to take the lead. Snellenberger kept VanStraten in sight for the remainder of the race was but never able to mount a serious challenge. VanStraten went on to finish ahead of Snellenberger. A late charging Justin Jacobsen finished third. VanProoyen and Mike Schmidt rounded out the top five.
Pole sitter Karah Taycher led the opening lap of the IMCA Sport Mod feature before Tyler Thiex went to the high groove of the race track to take the lead on lap two. Ryan Besaw passed Taycher to move to second on lap three. As Thiex continued to lead, Lucas Lamberies began to pick his way through traffic. On lap nine Thiex, Besaw, and Lamberies began a three car battle for the lead with each driver running a different line. On lap eleven Besaw’s car fell victim to mechanical woes eliminating him from the race and bringing out a caution. On the ensuing lap of the race Lucas Lamberies and Tyler Thiex exchanged slide jobs for the lead with Thiex able to hold the top spot. Lamberies though made the pass for the lead on lap twelve. Lamberies was able to keep Thiex at bay for the duration of the race. The two were chased across the finish line by Jason Jach, Kyle Raddant, and Wyatt Block.
Travis Welch led lap one of the Mighty Four feature, but Calvin Stueck took the lead on lap two. Stueck, who let a win get away two weeks ago, would not be denied victory this week. Stueck led the final eleven laps for the win. Stueck’s cousin Brad Wedde took second. Josh Slewinski, Grant Kastning, and Lucas Hacker rounded out the top five.
Brian Welch and Beau Schroeder were victorious in Spectator Eliminator action.
Racing will continue next Saturday night with a 6:30 start time. The $1000 to win Hammond Farm and Greenhouse IMCA Stock Car Shootout will highlight the night’s action. More Information can be found online at www.shawanocountyfair.net.
