(West Salem, WI - June 11, 2005) Andy Burgess may be chasing Kevin Nuttleman
in the NASCAR Kwik Trip Late Model division at the La Crosse Fairgrounds
Speedway, but after his clean sweep of qualifying, the Bud Dash and the
feature race, he is certainly turning up the heat on the eight-time track
champ. Burgess was quickest from start to finish, qualifying at 97.760 MPH,
moving from the back of the field to take the win in a wreck-plagued Bud Dash,
and then moving to the front on lap 12 in the Midwest Fuels/Bob Johnson
Lubricants 25 to become the first driver in five years to take a clean sweep
at La Crosse. Steve Carlson last turned the trick in the 2000 season.
Steve Holzhausen was the first car to make a big move, starting on the inside
of the second row, and quickly moving outside, and taking the lead on the
opening lap. After a lap three caution, Tony Bagstad was able to set up shop
inside of Holzhausen, and duck under hm for the lead coming out of turn four
on the fifth circuit.
Bagstad led for seven laps, as Burgess made his way through the field, taking
second on lap six, and moving by Bagstad on the outside on lap 12. Bagstad
made one move for the lead with six laps remaining, but couldn’t make
the pass, as Burgess came away with his third win in the last four races.
Holzhausen got by Bagstad on the final lap to take second, with Bagstad,
third, Nuttleman fourth, and Mark Lamoreaux fifth. Brent Kirchner was sixth,
followed by Todd Korish, Mike Belling, Todd Oliver and Tim Nelson.
Jim Hagel took the B-Main, while the other Bud Dash win went to Todd Oliver
and Kraig Burrows took the lone qualifying heat race win.
Dan Gilster took his third win of the season, solidifying his spot at the top
of the standings as he guns for a third Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman
championship. He also became the second driver in three weeks to claim fast
time (87.974 MPH) and come away with the feature win on the same night.
He took the leed on lap five, after a very brief rain shower, when brother
Jimmy Gilster and Branden Berg touched in turn one. Tom Thill took second,
followed by Jimmy Gilster, Larry Bolster, Jr., and Berg.
Rob Mason came home the winner in the B-Feature, and Josh Millis and Larry
Bolster, Jr. took qualifying heat wins, while Dan Erdmann won the
non-qualifying heat. Lucas Korish and Randy Steinhoff took the Bud Dash
wins.
Craig Chandler led for most of the way in the United Auto Supply Thunderstox
feature, but on lap 12, Jamie Dummer and Steve Bornitz made a sandwich
of him, going three-wide out of turn two for the lead. Dummer came away the
big winner, taking the feature, while Bornitz and Chandler touched, spinning
Bornitz around in turn two. Bornitz was able to keep the car going, avoiding
the caution, but fell back in the field. Chandler finished second, followed by
Wayne Smith, Ron Heller and Adam Moore.
Heats went to Craig Chander, Steve Bornitz, Brad Warthan and Jamie Dummer.
Greg Lindvig won the B-Feature, while Jerry Aylesworth won the Bud Dash.
Mike Thompson moved to the front in the first feature, and survived a mid-race
caution, once again pulling away from the field for the win. He was followed
by Jason Mork, Jim schermerhorn, Joe Heaney and John Clements. A 4-car pileup
early in the second feature bunched the field, as Bekah Voehl’s car was
rear-ended coming out of turn four, and ended up on top of another car. Shane
Finnerud moved to the front,and held on through a late yellow for the
checkered flag. Larry Burroughs was second, followed by Kevin Turner, Jeremy
Arndt and Pete Muenkel. Derrick Hammer seemed to have the third feature well
in hand, and survived one caution, but on the restart after the second
caution, Rick Schermerhorn moved by for the lead, and came away with the
win. Chris Johnson was second, followed by Hammer, Matt Moore, and Jerry
Lemke.
Heat winners were Larry Burroughs, John Clements, Pete Muenkel and Mike
Carlson.
This Saturday, Schreck Trucking presents the Fan Photo/Autograph session at
5:15 p.m. There will be no qualifying, to allow fans to spend time with all of
their favorite drivers, and racing action for the NASCAR Kwik Trip Late
Models, Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman and United Auto Supply Thunderstox.
