Wi Dirt Racin

(Luxemburg, WI)- Benji LaCrosse has mastered the art of winning the Kim Parsons Memorial Races in 2016. He added another IMCA Modified Feature win to his credit after starting 11th.
Feature winners included: Troy Muench (IMCA Stockcars) Chris Budzban (IMCA Sportmods) John Hill (Street Stocks) and Calvin Stueck (4 Cylinders.)
Brandon Long led the opening laps of the IMCA Modified Feature before Greg Gretz showed the way starting on lap three. Gretz pulled away from the field while continuing to lead. A caution on lap 12 brought R.M. Van Pay and Benji LaCrosse to the bumper of the leader. LaCrosse who started 11th was able to have forward bite wherever he put his racer. LaCrosse moved low and made a bid for the lead. Gretz fought him off once but LaCrosse went high and cruised. LaCrosse went high and grabbed the lead with four laps remaining where he fought off a late race caution. LaCrosse picked up his second win of season in a limited schedule at the Speedway. Gretz finished second in front of Van Pay. Shawn Kilgore made late race moves to finish fourth. Jerry Muenster ran a stellar race to fifth.

Paul Diefenthaler and Derek Moede went a few rounds to start the IMCA Stockcar Feature. Moede won the first round and the middle rounds over the field. With Moede out front he took on challengers to the likes of Rod Snellenberger. The only caution on lap 14 provided a setup for the finish. Snellenberger broke on the restart giving Troy Muench a bid for the lead. Muench used the middle of the speedway to catch Moede and make the eventual race winning pass. Muench grabbed the lead with four laps remaining and pulled away for his first win of the season. Moede came home second. Kyle Frederick beat Shawn Havel to the line for third. Dave Bouche rounded out the top five.

The IMCA Sportmods worked their Feature with a green to checker finish that saw four different race leaders. Marcus Moede led the opening lap before giving way to Gabe Zellner. Gabe took control as big brother Jacob came to play and the duo would fight it out for the top spot. Contact between the two would give Jacob the lead. Chris Budzban rocketed from his 11th starting spot and moved swiftly through the field. Budzban caught Zellner on lap 10 and made the winning pass down low on lap 11. Budzban cruised over the second half of the race to pick up his first checkered flag of the season and cut into the point lead. Jacob Zellner finished second. Marcus Moede finished third. Randy Lemieux Jr beat brother Ryan to the line to finish fourth.

Three caution flags in two laps kept the Street Stock division together early. John Hill made a three wide pass for the lead on lap one and would never look back. Hill would lead as Dan VanPay and Scott Boulanger came forward. VanPay ran second until Boulanger got underneath him with four laps remaining. Boulanger reeled in Hill like a fish and pulled even at the white flag. As they weaved through traffic on the final lap, they stayed straight until contact sent them both spinning out of turn four. The duo would be in sync as they spun across the line with Hill beating Boulanger for the win. VanPay finished third ahead of Mike Carter and Jason Kostichka.

Calvin Stueck tracked down Brian Johnson in the 4 Cylinder Feature event late to pick up the win. Stueck would have to do some Dukes of Hazard style driving to pick up the win in front of Johnson. Ryan Georgia and Rylee Perry beat Hollie Welch in the top five.
