(West Salem, WI April 22, 2006) - Mark Lamoreaux, of Bloomington, Minn.,
made his three-hour venture to the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway Saturday
night pay off in a big way as he captured his first feature win of the 2006
racing season before an enthusiastic crowd.
Lamoreaux was fast, but as he well knows, sometimes it pays off to be at the
right place at the right time. Dan Steele, who led the first 20 laps of the
25-lap Kwik
Trip Late Model feature, slid up the track ever-so-slightly as he passed a lap
car between turns three and four on Lap 21, and found himself in the loose
rubber and stones known as the marbles.
It was a roll Steele didnt want, nor could he stop. The West Salem man
swerved, bobbled and skidded through turn four, but somehow managed to regain
control of his 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo. He lost two places one to Lamoreaux
and the other to upstart J.Herbst but managed to straighten his car out
and grab third place. Its a position he would hold throughout the remaining
five laps.
Lamoreaux did have a few tense moments over the last five laps, which included
a restart on Lap 24. Skylar Holzhausen and Troy Goodenough tangled in turn
four resulting in both colliding with the soft styrofoam wall, bringing out
the second caution of the race. Neither driver was injured, but both cars
incurred considerable damage.
Once the race resumed, it was a one-lap sprint to the finish. Lamoreaux was
able to grab the checkers, while Herbst, Steele, Jon Barrette and Steve
Carlson rouneded out the top five finishers. By virtue of his ffith-place
finish, Carlson took over the KwikTrip Late Model points lead from nine-time
track champion Kevin Nuttleman. Nuttleman, last weeks feature winner,
finished seventh in main event and fell to third in the points.
The Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman division feature ran smooth compared to the
first qualifying heat, in which Rob Mason went hurdling into the soft wall
blocks. The impact caused major damage to the body of his car, but he walked
away unscathed. Jamie Millis pulled away after a late race caution for his
first feature win of the 2006 season in his Chevy Silverado
truck.
Andy Moore and Mike Krueger, Jr., both of Sparta, Wis., finished one-two in
the United Auto Supply Thunderstox feature race. Racing was, as it always is
in the division, bumper to bumper, with considerable car contact on the
quarter-mile track. The competitors kept the racing, for the most part, clean,
with a few minor incidents.
