Late Model feature
(West Salem, WI - July 3, 2005) After his Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model win last
week, 8-time track champion Kevin Nuttleman downplayed his chances at getting
career victory number 100 this season, citing the tough competition at La
Crosse, and his need to be consistent to stay atop the points chase. He
followed that up by once again dicing that competition, moving by Mark
Lamoreaux with three laps to go, becoming the second driver to claim
back-to-back feature wins this season.
Tim Nelson made a strong move for his first late model feature win in several
years, leading from the start,and pulling out to a three-car advantage before
and after an early caution for an Andy Niles spin on the frontstretch. He
maintained the lead into a lap 12 caution, caused by J. Herbst colliding with
the turn four wall, but after the restart, his luck ran out. Mark Lamoreaux
made it by second-place Tom McClintock on the restart, and moved by Nelson for
the lead two laps later, making the pass on the outside in turn three.
Nuttleman and Burgess were making their way through the field, with Nuttleman
making a nifty outside-inside move to get by two cars on the same lap just
before the lap 12 caution. Nuttleman moved to second behind Lamoreaux on lap
15, but had a 5-car disadvantage to make up. Burgess followed into third a lap
later, but found himself 4-lengths behind Nuttleman in the chase to the front.
Nuttleman closed the gap on Lamoreaux, reaching his back bumper on lap 19,
looking for a way around. As Nuttleman worked the leader, Burgess closed on
the lead pair, before Nuttleman set up on the outside, and took the top spot
on lap 23, as the cars entered turn three. Burgess tried twice to get by
Lamoreaux for second, but Lamoreaux was able to hold him off by a quarter
panel at the finish for the runner-up spot.
Burgess was third, followed by Mike Belling, Steve Holzhausen and Nelson. Tom
McClintock, Todd Korish, Steve Carlson and Sam Andersen rounded out the top
ten.
Burgess continued his assault on the track qualifying records, taking his
eighth overall quick time, and sixth in a row. He averaged 98.273 MPH. Adam
Degenhardt won the qualifying heat, while Todd Oliver and Chris Skrede won the
Bud Dashes, and rookie Nick Schroeder won the B-Main.
Trent Boettcher outgunned rookie Emily Sue Steck at the start of the Ray
Hutson Chevrolet Grand National Sportsman feature, then pulled away as the
rookie driver tried to hold off the rest of the field. Steck held on until lap
12, when Dan Linnehan moved by on the outside to claim second, with Aaron hass
also getting by before the finish to finish third. Steck was fourth, followed
by Mike Albrecht, Jr. Nick Clements came home the victor in the B-Feature.
Jes Tenner claimed his fifth quick time of the season, averaging 89.023 MPH
for his run around the 5/8-mile oval. Josh Millis and Larry Bolster, Jr. won
qualifying heats, while Tom Thill and Lucas Korish won the twin Bud Dashes.
Jeff Rentz jumped to the lead of the United Auto Supply Thunderstox feature
quickly, as the field went 3-wide behind him on the opening lap as cars went
for the front. Mary Schill was the big winner in that battle, as she moved up
to third, and followed Lonnie Klonecki by the race leader on lap seven. On lap
10, adam Moore hit the turn three wall hard, and although he tried to drive
away from the incident, his car came to a stop on the frontstretch two laps
later, bringing out the caution, and setting up a sprint to the finish.
Klonecki pulled away on the restart for the win, with Schill second, and
Denise Miller, Mark Krueger and Ed Senn rounding out the top five.
Ray Burkum had a first in the final heat race, as he hit the tire at the
beginning of the backstretch wall, and immediately flipped over on his roof.
Andy Moore won that heat, while other heat winners were Dan Erdmann, Lonnie
Klonecki, Ed Senn and Jeff Rentz. Jason Bolster claimed the B-feature win to
advance to the feature, while Corey Barney held off Charles Vian, Jr for the
C-Feature. Mary Schill won the Bud Dash.
This Saturday night Quillins helps kick off the second half of the race
season, with the points battles heating up for the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late
Models, Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman and the United Auto Supply Thunderstox
drivers. Qualifying kicks off at 5:05 p.m. with the first race at 7:15. It
will be the final tuneup for the Fairtime 50-lap late model feature on July
16.
