(West Salem, WI May 20, 2006) - Veteran driver Steve Holzhausen, of
Bangor, Wisconsin, took top honors at the LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway on
Saturday night, May 20th. In what turned out to be a duel of the Steves,
it was Holzhausen edging points leader Steve Carlson of West Salem in the
Majestic Pines Casino-Bingo-Hotel 25 lap main event.
As the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Models lined up for the Majestic Pines 25, the
crowd was on the edge of their seats for the first race in two weeks as last
weeks program was rained out. All 27 qualifying cars started the race, with
Tim Hagen of La Crescent, Minn., on the pole. Holzhausen, who started on the
outside of the second row, took the lead on lap 4 and held it the remainder of
the race, claiming the Outback Steakhouse Half-Way Challenge and eventually
the checkered flag. Although he did not relinquish the lead, he received
late race pressure from Carlson. I looked in my mirror a time or two
and could see him coming, commented Holzhausen, and that was when he
really cut down on my lead. Mark Lamoreaux and Todd Oliver came
together in turn four on lap 19 bringing out the only caution of the Late
Model feature. Carlson, who started third, lost some distance to Holzhausen on
the restart, but was able to hold the lead for the checkered flag. In four
feature races this season, there have been four different winners in the Late
Model Division.
Chand Wehling, recently a new father, proved once again that he is a contender
for the Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman Division championship as he claimed the
checkered flag in the 15-lap feature race. Wehling edged Dan Linehan, who took
second, and Jes Tenner, who claimed third. The Sportsman races were generally
without incident except for a restart in the B feature -- Saturday night.
During the B-Feature the No. 8 car of Nick Clements got spun in between turns
one and two. On the restart, the drivers barreled out of the corner and pushed
it to the limit when Jerimy Wagner and Rob Curran got together, which created
a chain reaction and collected several other cars.
Two weeks ago during the A-Main the pole car spun on the first lap, taking out
several contenders.
The United Auto Supply Thunderstox feature was full of bumping and grinding,
as 24 cars started the 15-laps of metal mangling mayhem known as the feature
race. The No. 2 truck of Ron Heller and No. 53 of Jeff Stumlin tangled on lap
5, slid into the turn 3 infield, creating a cloud of dust, and thrilling the
crowd.
The Thunderstox drivers also had a chance to run a Double Spin to win Novelty
race. It proved to have plenty of spills but Adam Moore and Steve Owen, who
both spun out twice during the race, came away the big winners. Rosie Zakem of
West Salem, Wis., won the annual Queen Bees race.
