by Larry & Jeanne Starr
September 2, Jefferson WI -- Noel Ramge of Helenville claimed top honors in
the Late Model 35 lapper, notching the second feature win of his career.
Starting outside the front row Ramge overtook the early leader, Tim Petrie, on
the second circuit, showing the way from there to the checkers. For the
last half of the race, Ramge held off the challenge of Andy Wendt. At the
stripe it was Ramge for the win, followed by Wendt, Jasper Gronert, Nick Wendt
and Petrie.
In Sportsman action James Helmer of Oconomowoc notched his 1st of the season,
in the 30 lap feature. Starting outside row 2, Helmer headed for the
point as Casey Burns grabbed the early lead. With one lap in, the battle
for the lead, between Burns and Dan Schmidt, ended in a spin, in turn 3,
bringing out the only caution of the race. Helmer inherited the lead,
for the restart, and guided the field from there to the checkers. Helmer
had his hands full, holding off Jay Kalbus over the final 10 laps of the
race. At the finish it was Helmer for the win, followed by Kalbus, Terry
Wangsness, Scott Chico Riedner and Eaan Carson.
In International action Chris Chenoweth of Watertown drove to victory in the
20 lap main event. Starting inside row 5 Chenoweth headed toward the
point as Kyle Smith pulled to the early lead. Smith led the way for 18,
of the 20, laps as Chenoweth made his way through the field, to third.
On the 18th circuit the battle for the lead, between Smith and Brandon Riedner,
ended with a spin into the front stretch wall, sending Smith to the pits and
Riedner to the rear. Chenoweth was at the point for the
Green-White-Checkered finish. At the stripe it was Chenoweth for the win
followed by Scotty Hoeft, Mark English, Chris Gottschalk and Mark Joyner.
In Hobby Stock action Ken Au of Jefferson claimed top honors in the 25 lap
feature. Starting outside row 6 Au started his journey to the checkers
as Andy Raley drove to the early lead. Raley showed the way for 7 laps,
before surrendering the point to Jim Schmidt. Schmidt, in turn, lost the point
to Steve Sauer on the 10th lap. As Sauer took the lead, Chet Paffel was
close behind for second and Au was battling forward from the 4th spot.
Paffel moved to the inside making his bid for the lead, with Sauer battling on
the outside. This battle lasted until lap 17, when Paffel and Sauer
tangled in the 1st turn, ending with a spin for Sauer and a flat tire for
Paffel. Au was at the point for the restart, guiding the field from
there to the checkers. As they blazed past the checkers it was Au for
the win followed by Tim Lange, Pete Elgas, Larry Moen and Dennis Schmidt.
In Bandit action Sean Watters of Sun Prairie won the 20 lap feature.
Starting outside row 5, Watters headed toward the front as Steve Priuett
grabbed the early lead. Priuetts lead ended on a 2nd lap caution,
moving Rodney Mundt to the front for the restart. Mundt surrendered the
top spot to Watters on lap 5, and Watters led from there to the finish.
At the stripe it was Watters for the win followed by Mundt, Ryan Granzow, Zak
Czeszynski and Steven Scheel.
Rounding out the nights, on track, action was the Bubble Gauntlet. The
victory in this one went to the Gauntlet team of Terry Tucker and
Nitro Nick Klettke.

with a 60 lap Late Model feature and extended features in all divisions.
