Doar, Miller, Anderson, Peterson, Tourville & Ebert Claim DTRA 100 Feature Victories

New Richmond, WI - 9/18/2006 - The first of the four nights of the inaugural DTRA 100 got underway Wednesday night as Pure Stocks, Street Stocks, and Midwest Modifieds hit the high banks of Cedar Lake Speedway.  With 41 Pure Stocks, 47 Street Stocks, and a remarkable 84 Midwest Modifieds filling the pit area, there was plenty of great racing to get things underway.

Fans were entertained by 15 wild heat races and 7 b-features.  These races set the fields using passing points for the first ever DTRA 100 features.  

The first feature to hit the track on Wednesday night were the DTRA Pure Stocks with Nate Synmoniak and Skeeter Estey drawing the front row based on their passing point totals.  Synmoniak used the pole position to jump out to a lap 1 lead and was followed by Dan Ebert from row two until a caution flew on lap 1.  On the restart Synmoniak was able to hold off Ebert for a couple of laps until finally on lap 4, Ebert was able to get by and take the lead.  On the following lap Estey was able to move by Synmoniak as well and take over second.  Ebert stretched out his lead as the laps winded down and that was all he needed as he took the checkered to pick up the big feature win at the inaugural DTRA 100.

Next up the DTRA Street Stocks came rolling out onto the speedway for their feature, lead by Charlie Novak and Shane Kisling on the front row.  Once the green flew, Keith Tourville used the inside of the speedway to move by the front row and take the leap on lap 1.  Mark Froehlich and Butch Madsen both followed Tourville on the inside and took over the second and third positions as well until a lap 1 caution in turn 3 flew and bunched up the field.  After a couple more early cautions, Tourville was able to check out on the field, leaving Madsen and Froelich to do battle behind him, with Madsen getting by Froelich on lap 6.  While this was going on, Jason Vandekamp was closing in on the second place battle and it didn’t take him long to move into third ahead of Froelich.  Vandekamp then caught Madsen but was unable to get by him for second as Tourville dominated out front and lead wire-to-wire to take home his first DTRA 100 victory.

Our third and final feature of the evening was the DTRA Midwest Modifieds.  Andy Jones and Greg Thell lead the field to the green from the front row.  With the green flag flying over the field, Thell took off into the lead and was followed by Jones and Brady Peterson from the second row.  Thell went on to lead lap 1, but that was short lived as Jones was able to get by him to lead lap 2.  Soon after, Thell had a breakdown of his machine as he came down the backstretch and brought out the first caution, forcing his night to be over.  On the restart Peterson used his new second starting position to get by Jones to lead lap 3 and was followed by Dallas Gulbarnson who moved into second.  More problems at the front of the field ensued as Jones spun in turn 1 to bring out the caution on lap 5.  After that Peterson and Gulbarnson checked out on the field and made it a two way battle for the top spot the rest of the way home.  Gulbarnson just didn’t have enough to get by Peterson as Peterson came out of turn 4 to take the checkered flag and win his first DTRA 100 in his rookie season.

The finale of the inaugural DTRA season came to a close Saturday night.  The 100 had finally arrived!  After months of planning and expectation fans were delivered a weekend of non-stop action along with huge car counts.  The new format created excitement, multiple races, stories and delivered the same tradition accustomed to late fall events.  

After two complete shows of preliminary qualifiers the field was set for the final night of the DTRA 100.  The first 8 finishers in Thursday and Friday’s Qualifying Features set the first 8 rows in the big dance.  Those drivers not already locked in accumulated passing points in their heat races from the previous nights.  Their accumulated passing points place them into equal B-Features.  Six cars transferred from the B-Features and created the next 3 rows.  Finally the drivers were given one last chance to make the Feature by way of a Last Chance Qualifier.  The top 2 in the LCQ tagged the tail of the lineup.  Truly a unique format giving drivers up to 6 chances to make the final race on Saturday night! 

DTRA Super Stocks were the first of the three final features of the event.  Ryan Aho and Ashley Anderson took their respective front row starting spots and led the field to the green.  Anderson quickly assumed the lead with Larry Boumeester in second and Aho in third.  The field began battling for position throughout as the track was lightening fast top to bottom.  Aho and fourth place runner Mike Weber were putting considerable pressure on Boumeester for the second spot.  At the halfway point it was still Anderson pacing the field with Aho and Boumeester side-by-side at the stripe ahead of Weber and Ron Jones in fifth.  Positions sixth through tenth included JB Stortz, Dale Gangl, Kelly Anderson, Greg Nippoldt and Dan Carlson.  Anderson was lapping slower machines left and right as the field battled for the second spot.  Aho and Boumeester were waging a small war out there as the pair traded the spot a dozen times with Weber and Jones waiting in the wings for an opportunity.  At the checkers it was Anderson by a nice margin with Boumeester winning the battle for second ahead of Aho, Weber and Jones in fifth.  Congratulations to Ashley and his team on a great season and DTRA 100 feature victory!

The DTRA Modifieds rolled out next for their finale of the weekend with Darrell Nelson and Jason Miller hitting the gas out front.  Miller took the lead early on with Nelson falling into second spot.  Behind them Ron Jones, Brad Waits and Al Uotinen were the top five.  A problem erupted for Nelson on lap five as he pulled his machine off the speedway giving up the second position.  A very quick field was a benefit to Miller as he hadn’t encountered a single lapped machine when he took the halfway sticks.  Behind Miller, Jones and Waits were putting on a great show for the crowd as they traded paint over several laps before Waits drove past on the high side on lap 17.   By this time Brent Larson had found the fast way around the speedway as he moved into fourth spot ahead of Uotinen and Jim Chyba who were dueling for the fifth spot.  In the process Larson got tangled with Chyba and Uotinen sending the three spinning in turn two on lap 24 of 30.  Larson was tagged with the caution and sent to the rear.  On the restart, Miller led Waits and Jones to the green for the six lap dash to the checkers.  Jones dove low and pulled even temporarily with Miller until Miller powered back around.  Waits moved past into second at the two-to-go sticks, now with Ron Schreiner pulling even with Jones in a battle for the third spot.  At the checkers it was Miller leading Jones, Waits, Schreiner, and Chyba rounding out the top five.  Congratulations to Jason and his team on a great season and DTRA 100 win his second ever at Cedar Lake Speedway!

DTRA Super Late models stormed out for the final event of the weekend with Pat Doar and Steve Laursen out front.  Doar took command early on with Laursen settling into second followed by Darrell Nelson, Terry Casey and Justin Richie in the fifth spot.  An early caution flew for Jim Carlson spinning down the backstretch on lap six.  On the restart Doar resumed command with Laursen taking second and a pile of cars battling for the third spot.  As the dust settled it was Richie emerging in the third spot with Nelson in fourth and Joel Cryderman in fifth.  A second caution flew for debris on the racetrack on lap 12 with Doar still strong out front.  On the restart Doar held strong but had a three-wide battle for second close behind.  Cryderman, Richie, and Laursen all battled hard for the spot with Cryderman and Richie eventually walking away and tracking down Doar.  By the halfway mark Richie had pulled even with Doar for the lead and those two battled it out over a series of laps before Richie took the position on lap 24.  A great battle ensued between Richie, Doar and Cryderman for the lead as the trio evaded lapped traffic as well.  Behind the three were Brent Larson, Nelson and Steve Laursen battling for the fourth spot.  The track was perfect, allowing the competitors to battle from top to bottom.

On lap 35, still the three way battles for both first spot and fourth spot raged on.  Doar running his typical high line pulling even with Richie at the line with three to go!  Doar moved yet a touch higher and found just enough traction to drive past Richie on lap 38.  Richie fought back all the way to the finish line but not quite enough as Doar claimed the victory and capped an amazing race and even better weekend.  Richie came home second followed by Cryderman, Larson and Nelson.  Congratulations again to Pat and his team on their track championship, DTRA National Championship and now DTRA 100 feature win.  Wow.
