the Oktoberfest race weekend is with out a doubt Charlie Menard. Menard, Who
two feature races Friday night is also five for five, he has won the last five
feature races held for Oktoberfest.
The ASA 100 lap feature was also an exhilarating one with a early race lead
from Stephen Leicht, but Charlie Menard never left his hind sight. " I
wasn't going to spin him (Leicht) but i wasn't going to give up either"
said Menard who trailed for 65 laps. "I was able to drive underneath him
and he drove over my nose, I'm just glad he didn't spin" It was Menards
his first win in the ASA series, he started the night on the poll. In third
place Landon Cassill took his third top five of the year, he's in his second
year of racing at the age of 16. There were also a number of crashes Friday
night all in which involved multiple drivers, most drivers were able to return
to racing.

Sportsman Feature winner Friday night was Corey Jankowski who also set a new
Sportsman track record of 21.070 earlier in the evening. Jankowski was
followed closely by Jimmy Gilster and Dan Linnehan. The feature Area Sportsman
race Friday was clean. The Central Wisconsin feature race winner on Friday
