by Jennifer Jach
July 1, 2005; Antigo, Wisconsin; The 4th of July weekend started out to be a
great one for the Feature Winners in Antigo. The WISSOTA Late Model
Feature even started with some Fireworks! Terry Anvelink took home top
honors in the WISSOTA Late Models, Tom Schaal ended a three year drought with
a Feature Win in the IMCA Modifieds. Dan Michonski took home the win in
the IMCA Stock Cars, with Lee Christjohn winning the WISSOTA Street Stock
Feature, and JP Remington again winning the Truck Feature.
Cody Grosskreutz grabbed the early lead of the WISSOTA Late Model Feature with
Terry Anvelink in a very close second and Tom Naeyaert third. The
caution flag slowed racing early, but on the restart Grosskreutz again grabbed
the point, Anvelink second, and McBride third. Anvelink dug to the
inside of Grosskreutz to take over the lead. The caution again appeared
and on this restart Anvelink grabbed the point, McBride second, and Diemel
third. Diemel also used the inside line to get around McBride for the
second spot. The caution flag made one more appearance in this feature,
and when racing resumed, it was Anvelink out front, McBride second, and Nick
Anvelink third. The inside line was the place to pass as Nick Anvelink
made a move on McBride to take over second. Nick ran out of time to
catch his father for the lead, when the checkers flew it was Terry Anvelink
taking the win, Nick Anvelink second, and McBride third.
Jeremie Hedrick grabbed the point of the IMCA Modified Feature with Wade
Schutt second and Dave Diemel third. Mike Wedelstadt moved to the top
three with a pass on Diemel. The caution flag slowed the action, but
when it resumed, Hedrick returned to the point, Eric Scribner second, and
Diemel third. Scribner took over the lead when Hedrick slipped high, and
Diemel took over second, with Hedrick falling into third. Schaal had to
grab the outside line to get around Hedrick for third. After another
restart, Scribner grabbed the point, Schaal second, and Diemel third.
The cars came around for the white flag lap, and Scribner’s car suddenly
slowed off the pace, giving the lead to Schaal, and Brad Rohloff second.
Coming out of four to the checkered, Rohloff gave it all he had to get around
Schaal, but Schaal had his sights set on the win. The win was awarded to
Schaal, his first in three years, second to Rohloff, and third to Jeremy
Hanson.
Asa Doxtator grabbed the lead of the IMCA Stock Car Feature with Dan Michonski
in second and Steve Kastning third. The caution flag slowed racing
action. When the green fell it was Doxtator to the point, Michonski
second, and Kastning third. Michonski grabbed the inside line and went
for the pass on Doxtator, taking over the lead. Bruce Belland took over
third from Kastning. Michonski went on the claim the win with Doxtator
second, and Belland third.
Jermey Wolfe lead the field to the green of the WISSOTA Street Stock Feature,
behind him was Lee Christjohn and Dan Wanta. Wolfe’s lead did not last
long, as Christjohn dug to the inside to make the pass, as Wanta followed
putting Wolfe to third. Racing came to a halt with the waving of the
yellow, when racing resumed, it was Christjohn to the point, Wolfe second, and
Kasperek third. The race ended only a few laps latter with Christjohn
taking the win, Wolfe second, and Kasperek third.
Jon Ripley grabbed the lead of the Truck Feature with Robert Hoffman second,
and Harold Ripley third. After a shuffle on the backstretch it was
Ripley still at the point, Harvey second, and Mark Arrowood third.
Arrowood wasted no time moving to the inside of Harvey for second, and JP
Remington moved to the third spot, and then the second spot with a pass on
Arrowood. Arrowood then fell back when Jeff Becker took over the third
spot. Victory Lane again welcomed Remington with the win, Ripley second,
and Becker third.
