Ramge Notches First Late Model Victory At Jefferson
Becomes 5th Feature Winner At Jefferson
by Larry & Jeanne Starr
July 15, Jefferson WI -- Noel Ramge of Helenville claimed top honors in the
Newville Auto Salvage 50 lap Late model feature. Starting outside the
front row, Ramge grabbed the early lead and never looked back, showing the way
to the checkered flag. Behind Ramge the action was hot and heavy, as driver
battled for position, but Ramge never faced a serious challenge. The
field slowed for 2 caution flags, for a crash on lap 35 and a spin on lap
40. Ramge pulled ahead on each restart. At the stripe it was Ramge
for the win, followed by Ken Olson, John Ovadal Jr., Doug Hahn and Roger
Behlke.
In Sportsman action Dave Oswald of Cottage Grove came out on top of a
monumental battle, to claim the 30 lap feature win. Starting outside row
3, Oswald headed toward the point, as James Helmer grabbed the early
lead. Caution came on lap 16, for a spin in turn 2, giving the fans a
chance to breathe. Helmer was still at the point, with Oswald 2nd and a
whole pack of fast cars at the front, all wanting the top spot. On the
restart Helmer held the point, with Oswald working the inside. Another
spin, on lap 19, brought the final caution of the race. At the
green, Oswald went back to work on the inside, as Mark Deporter, Chico Riedner,
and Jay Kalbus all looked for a way past. Oswald worked under Helmer,
lap after lap, finally Edging ahead as they came to the White flag. As
they flew past the finish it was Oswald for the win, followed by Helmer,
Riedner, Kalbus and Deporter. At this point the crowd began to breathe
again!
In International action Brandon Riedner of Waunakee claimed top honors in the
20 lap feature. Starting outside row 3, Riedner headed for the front as
Keryn Hopwood drove to the early lead. Hopwood led the way for 5 laps,
before surrendering the point to Riedner. Once at the point Riedner
pulled ahead, as Hopwood battled with Scotty Hoeft to hang on to the 2nd
spot. As they took the checkers it was Riedner for the win followed by
Hopwood, Hoeft, Mark Joyner and Chris Chenoweth.
In Hobby Stock action Bret Carson of Johnson Creek notched the win, in the 25
lap main event. Starting outside row 4, Carson started to the front, as
Alan Dorn took the early lead. Dorn led the way for 14 laps, as Carson
made his way to the front. An, apparent, blown engine and fluid on the
track brought the only caution of the race, on lap 10. Dorn led the
restart, with Carson battling for the 2nd spot. Claiming 2nd on lap 11,
Carson closed with Dorn. Moving to the inside on lap 14, Carson made the
winning pass. At the stripe it was Carson for the win, followed by Dorn,
Larry Moen, Kyle Stark and Dennis Schmidt.
In Bandit action Rodney Mundt won the 20 lap feature. Starting inside
row 5, Mundt caught Steve Priuett, the early leader, on lap 7. Mundt
motored to the lead on lap 8, guiding the way from there to the
checkers. At the finish it was Mundt for the win followed by Sean
Watters, Casey Johnson, Steve Scheel and Kyle Watters.
