Racin' Jason Schuler Dominates Wisconsin Challenge Series at Jefferson Speedway
by Larry & Jeanne Starr
June 6, Jefferson WI -- Cambridge native Jason Schuler had a good day, on his
return to Jefferson Speedway, claiming top honors in the First Supply
100, Wisconsin Challenge Series (WCS) race.
Starting 5th in the field, Schuler slipped to 7th on the start and began
patiently working his way forward, as Ken Reiser drove to the early
lead. Reiser led the pack for 10 laps before John Ovadal Jr. claimed the
point.
Ovadal opened a strong lead, for a time, looking like he had a lock on the
race. On lap 47, Ovadal suffered mechanical problems that sent him
spinning into the turn 4 wall, to end his day.
Schuler was running third on the restart and, as they entered the first turn,
the 2nd place car of Jeff Kendall slipped up the track, leaving an opening on
the bottom. Schuler seized the opportunity, streaking past Kendall and
Jeremy Lepak to claim the lead. From there he paced the field for the
remaining 52 laps.
At the stripe it was Schuler for the win, followed by Adam Royale, Mark Eswein,
Jeff Storm and Kendall.
Three of Jefferson Speedways regular divisions were on hand to round out
the racing program.
In Sportsman Division action Craig Henning, of Hellenville, came from a 4th
place start to over take the early leader, Noel Ramge, on lap 12, of the 15
lap feature. At the finish it was Henning followed by Ramge, Tom Reents,
Mark English and Jody Purdy.
In Hobby Stock action Terry Wangsness of Delavan came from 16th to claim top
honors in the 20 lap main event. At the green flag, Nick Newton jumped
to the lead, only to lose the point to Lincoln Keeser, on lap 3. Keeser
was joined by Larry Moen, and the two traded the lead several times, as
Wangsness made his way from the rear. Moving past Moen, on lap 13,
Wangsness closed with Keeser, claiming the point on lap 15. At the
stripe it was Wangsness followed by Keeser, Moen, Jesse Ayers and Dennis
Schmidt.
Troy Yohn of Waterloo came from 17th to claim top honors in the Bandit
divisions 18 lap feature. Avoiding the mayhem between him and the
front, Yohn drove to 4th by lap 8, and claimed the point by lap 12. At
the stripe it was Yohn for the win, followed by Rory Padfield, Bobby Selsing,
Jody Krueger and Nick Klettre.
