Champions Crowned At Jefferson Speedway
by Larry & Jeanne Starr
September 11, Jefferson WI -- Janesville's Dan Chesmore capped his 2004 Late
Model Championship, with a victory in the "Havill-Spoerl 75,"
feature. Starting 15th Chesmore headed toward the front as Chris Quam
charged to the early lead. Quam held off all challengers for 68, of the
75, laps. Chesmore claimed the 2nd spot on lap 58 closing with Quam.
Quam fought hard to stay at the front but slipped, just enough, on lap 68 for
Chesmore to claim the top spot, followed by Kyle Jarlsberg, for 2nd. At
the checkered flag it was Chesmore for the win, followed by Jarlsberg, Quam,
Ken Olson and Jason Thoma.
Chris Nelson of Cottage Grove claimed top honors in the International
division's, 30 lap, Championship feature. Stating 11th, Nelson headed
toward the front as Jordan Hill grabbed the early lead. Hill's turn at
the point lasted a single lap, as he was relieved by Tim Seitz. With
Seitz in the lead, Tory Adams moved up to challenge, on the 18th
circuit. The battle ended, on lap 27, when Adams' car erupted in a cloud
of steam. While the caution was out, Seitz car was found to be leaking
fluid, and was sent from the track, leaving Nelson in the top spot for the
restart. At the stripe it was Nelson for the win, followed by Brent
Nottestad, Steve Allman, Mike Drays, Tim Petrie and Scotty Hoeft. The
sixth place finish was more than enough for Hoeft to maintain his lead, in the
Championship points.
In Sportsman division action Kyle Padfield claimed top honors in the 40 lap
main event. Fourth in the lineup, Padfield moved to the front row, after
a collision took out the front 2 cars at the green flag, bringing about a,
complete, restart. Padfield powered to the lead, guiding the field,
flag-to-flag to win the event. At the finish it was Padfield, followed
by Trent Erdman, Brandon Riedner, Dave Oswald and Mark Deporter.
The Sportsman division had the closest battle, for the Championship, with
Deporter starting the night with an 11 point lead, over Noel Ramge.
After qualifying, and heat races, that lead had narrowed to 3 points.
Ramge was caught up in a crash, during his heat race, and had to borrow a
backup car, for the feature. Deporters' 5th place finish, over Ramges'
11th, in the feature secured the Championship for Deporter.
In Hobby Stock action Larry Moen of Madison notched a win, in the 30 lap
feature. Starting 7th Moen made his way to the front, as Lincoln Keeser
drove to the early lead. Keeser surrendered the point, to Jessie Ayers
on lap 19, with Moen up to the 3rd spot. Moen made his way past Keeser
on lap 21, closing with Ayers. Running 2nd at the white flag, Moen moved
to the inside, looking for the win. Ayers slipped high, in turn 2,
giving Moen the opening that he had been looking for. As they flew past
the checkered flag it was Moen for the win followed by Ayers, Eaan Carson, Ken
Au and Keeser.
Terry Wangsness started the night with an insurmountable lead, in the Hobby
Stock Championship points.
In Bandit action, Bill Sweeney of Janesville cemented his second Championship,
by winning the 28 lap main. Starting 16th Sweeney started the long drive
to the front, as Shaun Scheel led the field. Patiently picking his way
through the field, Sweeney claimed 3rd on lap 19. Powering under Scheel,
Sweeney claimed the top spot on lap 22, opening a strong lead on his way to
the checkers. Sweeney was first at the finish followed by Scheel, Bobby
Selsing, Paula Seitz and Jody Krueger.
This concludes the 2004 Championship chase at Jefferson Speedway.
