Westenberg Wins Late Models At Jefferson Speedway
by Larry & Jeanne Starr
August 12, Jefferson WI -- Luke Westenberg of Watertown led every lap of the
"Watertown Bowl 50" Late Model feature, taking home top honors.
Starting inside row 2, Westenberg claimed the lead on the first lap and never
looked back, guiding the field to the checkers. John Ovadal Jr moved up
to the second spot on lap 17, looking a quarter lap ahead to Westenberg.
Ovadal closed with Westenberg turning up the pressure by lap 40, but was never
able to find the opening he needed. In a last ditch effort, coming off
turn 4 to the checkers, Ovadal spun the car, dropping to the rear of the
field. Westenberg was first at the checkers followed by Kyle Jarlsberg,
Doug Hahn, Andy Wendt and Jasper Gronert.
In Sportsman action Jay Kalbus of Oconomowoc claimed top honors in the 30 lap
feature. Starting outside row 6, Kalbus headed toward the front as Tom
Rents drove to the early lead. Rents surrendered the point, to James
Helmer on lap 17, with Helmer succumbing to Scott Riedner on lap 20.
Kalbus made his way to the 2nd spot on lap 17 as the field saw the white
flag. Caution cam on lap 29, for a spin in turn 1, setting up a
Green-White-Checkered finish. At the green Kalbus dove to the inside,
bouncing past Riedner as they came off the second turn. At the stripe it
was Kalbus for the win followed by Riedner, Helmer, Dave Oswald and Dan
Schmidt.
In International action Ashley Smith of Lake Mills notched her first feature
win, in the 20 lap main event. Starting inside row 2, Smith claimed the
lead on lap 1 an never looked back, showing the way to the checkers.
Chris Gottschalk caught Smith by lap 16, launching a bid for the lead.
Smith was up to the challenge, holding Gottschalk to 2nd. At the stripe
it was Smith for the win followed by Gottschalk, Mike Winters, Chris Chenoweth
and Brandon Riedner.
In Hobby Stock action Steven Sauer of Waterloo claimed top honors in the 25
lap feature. Starting from outside row 1 Sauer grabbed the early lead,
guiding the way from there to the checkers. Larry Moen had a strong
challenge going, on lap 23, only to have it cut short by the caution flag, for
a spin in turn 2. On the restart it was Sauer heading first to the
checkers, followed by Moen, Tim Lange, Jim Robinson and Pete Elgas.
In Bandit Action Bobby Selsing Jr of Fort Atkinson earned victory in the 20
lap feature. Starting 12, Selsing headed to ward the point, as Ryan
Granzow took the early lead. Caution came on lap 3, when Sean Watters
and Steven Scheel tangled in the 3rd turn, collecting a number of cars.
Selsing came through the melee untouched, to restart in the 3rd spot. As
the field went green Selsing motored past Chad Olds for 2nd on lap 4 and
claimed the top spot, from Granzow on lap 5. At the stripe it was
Selsing for the win followed by Rodney Mundt, Granzow, Kyle Watters and Tim
Bristol.
