(West Salem, WI - July 9, 2005) Steve Carlson went airborne in a lap 13
accident in the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model feature at the La Crosse
Fairgrounds Speedway, and definitely had an impact on the points race, as he
landed on points leader Kevin Nuttleman and second-place Andy Burgess. Worse
yet for Nuttleman was the fact that Carlson was behind the wheel of
Nuttleman’s backup car.
The incident began behind race leader Steve Holzhausen, who went on to win the
25-lap feature, as Tim Nelson and Mike Belling battled for second. The two
cars touched coming out of turn four, sending Nelson hard into the wall at the
beginning of the frontstretch. Carlson was behind the 76 of Nelson, and had no
where to go, and rammed the back of the 76, going airborne and sliding along
the catch fence, before flipping once. Dan Steele and Sam Andersen were the
luckiest drivers on the track, as both cars got through what turned into a
13-car accident as they both drove under the flying 66 of Carlson. When
Carlson came down, he landed on Nuttleman and Burgess on the frontstretch,
completely blocking the track, and bringing out the red flag.
The stoppage was the fourth and final one of the race, and caused a 28 minute
delay as official cleared the track. Andy Niles hit the inside retaining wall
hard in a five-car accident on lap eight, Mark Lamoreaux spun on lap 11, and
Jim Hagel and Todd Oliver tangled in turn one on lap 11, just before the big
one.
Holzhausen cruised to the victory, holding off three challenges by Steele to
get underneath him down the stretch. Steel was second, followed by J. Herbst,
Andersen and Nick Schroeder. Todd Korish, Lamoreaux, Hagel, Chris Skrede and
Oliver rounded out the top ten.
Korish and Lamoreaux were both involved in the lap 13 incident, while Oliver
and Hagel were involved in earlier incidents, and still came away with top ten
finishes. Nuttleman returned, his car looking more like a modified than a late
model, to finish 15th, getting lapped by the top two cars on the final lap.
Steele claimed his first-ever fast time, ending Burgess’s run of seven
straight fast qualifying efforts. Stele averaged 97.401 MPH, while Burgess
slipped to fourth quickest. Shawn Pfaff won the qualifying heat, while Steve
Holzhausen and Todd Korish won the Bud Dashes.
While the late model feature had plenty of yellow and red flags flying, the
Sportsman and Thunderstox went green all the way. Branden Berg outdueled Lucas
Korish at the Sportsman feature, the cruised to the win, with points leader
Dan Gilster taking second. Jes Tenner was third, Korish fourth, and Tom Thill
edged Mike Albrecht, Jr. to the line by inches to claim fifth.
Tenner was quick qualifier, averaging 88.335 MPH around the 5/8-mile oval.
Matt Inglett won the B-feature, with qualifying heats going to John Olson and
Larry Bolster, Jr. Trent Boettcher and Mike Carlson won the Bud Dashes.
Tom Phillips lead from start to finish in the United Auto Supply Thunderstox
feature, but he had cars right on his rear bumper the entire way. Tony Wheeler
made several attempts to get under him, and Josh Inglett nearly got by on the
outside twice, but Phillips led them all to take the feature win. Wheeler
finished second, with Henry Vian third, Inglett fourth, and Jason Bolster
fifth.
Andy Moore won the B-Feature, with Robert Stanfield taking the Bud Dash. Heat
winners were Adam Moore, Inglett, Henry Vian and Al Bartels.
Action continues this weekend, with the Children’s Miracle Network 200
Enduro kicking things off on Friday night, as the La Crosse Interstate Fair
gets underway alongside the speedway. On Saturday night, the Kwik Trip NASCAR
Late Models will battle in a 50-lap feature, and the sportsman and thunderstox
divisions will also be in action.
