Sunday, June 1st, 2003
Kasson, MN.- It was a pleasant evening at the Dodge County Speedway on Sunday
night, and even though the car count was down a little bit from normal, the
quality of the racing was exciting as usual.
In WISSOTA Street Stock action, Steve Eischens took the lead early from the
pole. Tom McEldowney gave chase, and Dan Gullikson wasted no time in getting
in to position to challenge for the lead. Jim Gullikson and Greg Erickson
contested the fourth spot while Dan Gullikson looked to the inside of Eischens
for the lead. The two leaders made some contact on the backstretch which
resulted in Eischens spinning in to the infield and Dan Gullikson getting sent
to the rear for the restart.
Eischens continued to lead after going green again, followed by Jim Gullikson
and Troy Voth. Cale Berry was making a lot of progress after starting deep in
the field, followed by Jeff Brauer who also started near the tail. But as
Berry took over fourth, Brauer made contact sending Berry around. Berry was
able to continue but Brauer would be charged with the caution. Jim Gullikson
retired with a breakdown late in the race, and Eischens held on to pick up the
win. Voth, Berry, McEldowney, and Vince Corbin rounded out the top five.
The Midwest Modifieds were up next with Tim Siercks and Jesse Frericks sharing
row one. An early race caution would find Siercks going to the back with a
spin in turn three. Kenny Wytaske would be the early leader followed by
Frericks and Albert Wytaske. Dan Fagerlind and Chad Herman made some good
moves and made things interesting in the front. Albert Wytaske got by Frericks
to take over second, but out front, it was the familiar site of Kenny Wytaske
stretching his lead. Nick Kramer had a good run going, battling for position
with Ringenberg. But contact resulted in Kramer going around and Ringenberg
restarting from the tail. Albery Wytaske tried to reel in Kenny Wytaske but
had no luck in doing so. Kenny Wytaske held on for yet another win at the
Dodge County Speedway, followed by Albert Wytaske, Jesse Frericks, Chad
Herman, and Greg Pfieffer.
Up next were the WISSOTA Super Stocks. Brandon Jensen and Bill Clemens shared
row one but after some trouble getting going, the field was made to start
single file. Jensen had the bottom groove and the lead with Clemens all over
his rear bumper. Nick Herrick and Mark Teske had a great battle going for
third, swapping the position a few times throughout the race. Clemens
continued to keep the pressure on Jensen, getting a nose under him more than a
few times. Dustin Nelson looked very fast and was able to pass where other
cars could not. Nelson took over fourth from Teske and then set his sights on
Herrick. Clemens kept the heat turned up on Jensen and in the closing laps,
was able to get under him to take the lead. Nelson also picked off a couple
more spots to finish a very solid second, with Jensen hanging on to third,
also a very solid run. Herrick and Teske rounded out the top five.
The final event of the evening were the USRA Modifieds. Ron Schreiner grabbed
the lead over Todd Klees and Mike Sorenson. Klees put some heavy pressure on
Schreiner and could pull even exiting turn two but Schreiner kept the door
shut. Jay Ihrke and Darwyn Karau battled for fifth. Jordan Steier was spun
around in turns three and four bringing out the caution. Bob Timm was
penalized and sent to the rear for the incident. On the restart, it was
Schreiner, Klees, Sorenson, Paul Hamernick, and Jay Ihrke rounding out the top
five. Klees again put pressure on Schreiner trying to get under him for the
lead. But Schreiner was solid and held off the challenges from Klees. Brad
Waits and Tim Donlinger were making their way to the front as the laps wound
down, with Waits moving up to fourth and Donlinger taking over fifth.
Schreiner held on for the win with Klees finishing a solid second, and
Sorenson third.
Another great night of racing at the Dodge County Speedway with more to come
