Springborn And VanProoyen Hot In WISSOTA Action In Antigo
By Jennifer Jach
July 9, 2004; Antigo, Wisconsin; Fans were treated to some great side-by-side
racing on Friday night. Track conditions were great and the action was
non-stop. A total of 105 cars filled the pit area on Budweiser
night. Troy Springborn took home top honors in the WISSOTA Late Model
Feature. Wade Schutt added another Feature Win to his list in the IMCA
Modifieds. Shannon Volkman returned to Victory Lane in the IMCA Stock
Cars. Scott VanProoyen lead green to checker in the WISSOTA Street Stock
Feature. The Truck Feature has only seen one winner this season, and
Sean Thayer kept the streak running with a Truck Feature Win.
The WISSOTA Late Model Feature seen Curt Myers take the point with Troy
Springborn second and M.J. McBride third. Todd Flannery would take the
outside line around McBride for the third spot. Troy Springborn would
not settle for second and would take the inside line around Myers for the lead
as Flannery would follow, putting Myers to third. Myers would be moved
to the fourth position when Pete Parker would make an outside pass.
Springborn would be able to pull away from the rest of the field, and have a
comfortable lead. When the twenty laps were completed, it was
Springborn taking the checkered, Flannery second and Parker third.
The IMCA Modifieds seen a few caution flags before they seen some green flag
racing. When the race finally got under way it was John Peters taking
the lead, Scott Williams in a close second, and Mike Knapp third. Eric
Scribner would choose the outside line around Knapp, as would Mike Wedelstadt.
Wedelstadt would again take the outside line around Scribner as Williams would
make his move on Peters. Williams would be the leader, Peters second,
and Wade Schutt would make a pass on Scribner and Wedelstadt to take over
third, and then second with an inside pass on Peters. Schutt would then
move to the inside of Williams to take over the lead. Scribner would
make his way back into the top three with an inside pass on Peters.
The caution flag would fly and on the restart Schutt would take the point,
Scribner second and Wedelstadt third. Wedelstadt would look to the
outside of Scribner to take over the runner-up spot. The white flag
would fly and the race would end under caution when John Peter’s car would
head straight for the wall, turn on its side, and burst into flames.
Peters was checked out in the ambulance, and walked away uninjured.
Schutt would take the win, Wedelstadt second and Scribner third.
The IMCA Stock Car feature seen Asa Doxtator take the lead with Randy
Rasmussen second and Junior Karcz third. Karcz would waste no time in
the third spot and would take over second with an inside pass on
Rasmussen. Karcz would not settle for second and would look to the
outside of Doxtator to take over the lead. Shannon Volkman would take
over the third spot with a pass on Rasmussen. Karcz would not be able to
hold onto the lead as Doxtator would take it over.
Volkman would then stick his nose to the inside of Karcz and would take over
the second spot. Volkman would then take over the lead with an inside
pass on Doxtator, and Karcz would follow putting Doxtator to third.
Kevin Lamberies would take over the third spot with a pass on Doxtator as the
caution flag would fly. On the restart, Volkman would remain in the
lead, Karcz second and Lamberies third. Lamberies would make the pass
for second on the white flag lap. When the checkers flew it was Volkman
taking the win, Lamberies second, and Karcz third.
When the green flag dropped for the WISSOTA Street Stocks it was VanProoyen
taking the point, Bruce Belland second, and Jason Bandt third. Eugene
Shawano went to the outside of Bandt for the third spot. Dennis LaCrosse
would use the outside line around Bandt as the tip five cars would be running
nose to tail. LaCrosse would take the inside line around Shawano for
third as Gary Kasperek would take fourth, moving around Shawano. Belland
would take the inside line around VanProoyen, but VanProoyen would hold strong
on the outside. For the next two laps, Belland and VanProoyen would run
wheel to wheel. VanProoyen would be able to pull ahead on the
backstretch, and lead for the remainder of the event. When the laps
winded down, it was VanProoyen taking the checkered first, Belland second, and
LaCrosse rounding out the top three.
The Truck Feature seen a green and then yellow flag for the start of their
race. When the race was started it was John Ripley taking the lead, Bob
Ney second and Travis Widder third. The caution flag would again fly and
on the restart Ripley would once again take the lead, Mark Arrowood second and
Ney third. Arrowood would take the outside line around Ripley for the
lead, as Sean Thayer would work his way around Ney for the third and then to
the inside of Ripley for the runner up spot. Ney would take the inside
line around Ripley for the third spot as Thayer would look to the outside of
