Feature Winners Springborn And Bostwick Cash In Big In Antigo
May 27, 2005; Antigo, Wisconsin; The closer fans and drivers drove to the
track, the more change in weather they seen. Upon arriving at the track,
you were met with rain, winds, and 50 degrees. The nights racing action
started later than normal due to the light rain, but the track looked smooth
as could be. The WISSOTA Late Model Make-Up Feature was not held due to
having to start late because of the rain. The make-up Feature for the
Late Models will be held Friday night June 3rd. The Double Payout
Divisions were the WISSOTA Late Models, and the ASCI Trucks. Both Troy
Springborn and Mike Bostwick brought home a nice paycheck. B.J. Giese
took home top honors in the IMCA Stock Car Feature, Lee Christjohn was the top
dog in the WISSOTA Street Stocks, and Tom Haferkorn won the IMCA Modified
Feature.
Mark Mitchell grabbed the lead of the WISSOTA Late Model Feature with Troy
Springborn in a close second. A caution flag slowed the race. On
the restart, Mitchell grabbed the point, Springborn second, and Tim Buhler
third. Buhler quickly made his way to the inside of Springborn for
second. Chris Carlson moved to the inside line to go around Springborn for
third. The caution flag again slowed this race. When the green
flew Mitchell regained the lead, Springborn second and Carlson third.
When lap twenty came around it was Springborn taking the win, Carlson runner
up, and Mitchell in third.
The IMCA Modified Feature seen an opening lap caution, but when the green flag
fell the second time Jeremie Hedrick grabbed the top spot, Tom Haferkorn
second, and Ken Murray third. The caution flag would not stay put away
for long. On this restart, Haferkorn jumped to the lead, Hedrick second
and Murray third. Again the caution flag flew and by this time, the time
was winding down. This time Haferkorn jumped to the lead, Hedrick
second, and Murray third. The final caution flag would come out with
only a handful of laps completed, with the checkered flag as the time limit
expired. Crossing the line first was Haferkorn, second too Murray and
third to Jim Hanson.
The IMCA Stock Car Feature seen B.J. Giese grab the lead with Larry Karcz in a
close second and Bruce Belland third. Karcz was not happy with second
and went to the outside of Giese, both Karcz and Giese ran side by side for a
handful of laps. The race was then red flagged for a car that hit the
wall out of turn three and burst into flames. The driver was
uninjured. The race was red flagged in order to give the track workers
time to fix the tipped over cement block. The workers worked as fast as
they could, but could not get it repaired before the curfew time rolled
around. The win was given to Giese, second to Karcz, and third to
Belland.
The WISSOTA Street Stock Feature seen Eugene Shawano Jr. grab the lead with
Lee Christjohn second, and Gary Kasperek third. Christjohn dug to the
inside of Shawano for the top position as Kasperek followed taking over
second. The caution flag would appear and on the restart, Christjohn
kept his lead, Kasperek second and Shawano third. Jeremy Wolfe looked to
the inside and then the outside of Shawano to take over third. Coming
across the finish line in first was Christjohn, second went to Kasperek, and
third to Wolfe.
Jeff Becker grabbed the lead of the Truck feature from his front row starting
spot, second was Harold Harvey and third Mark Arrowood. Mike Bostwick
grabbed the outside line around Arrowood for third. The ever popular
caution flag appeared and on the restart, Becker regained his lead, Bostwick
jumped to second and Travis Widder third. Bostwick found the inside line
to be fastest, and went around Becker for the lead. JP Remington found
the outside line to be fastest and took over the third spot. The
checkered flew with Bostwick taking the win, Becker second, and Remington
third.
