Corso, Regnier And Joosten Score At LGR
By Dale R. Erdmann and Kim Straube
Lake Geneva, WI. May 7th. It was just one of those nights at Lake Geneva
Raceway Saturday. You know the ones that you try to forget. Not because of who
won, but something we have not enjoyed all but one night of the 2005 season.
Yes. The cold and tonight numerous Yellow Book USA caution periods. Feature
winners were Rick Corso of McHenry, Illinois who won the curfew shortened 26
lap out of 40 lap feature. Adam Regnier of Twin Lakes who again was only one
out of two Wisconsin winners both nights. Regnier won the accident plagued 25
lap feature race. Kenny Joosten of Wonder Lake, IL. won the 30 lap
sportsman feature and Brandon Scurto of Carol Stream, IL. won the 25 lap
super mini cup feature.
Quick qualifier Jeff Holmgren Jr. of East Troy won the “Al Schill Jr.
” memorial dash for the super late models. Josh Wallace of Pell Lake won the
Chucks storage super stock dash for cash. Gary Norton of nearby Hebron,
IL. won the sportsman dash and Brandon Scurto won the visiting super
mini cups dash.
Rick Corso shot out front at the drop of the greens, but before that first lap
could be recorded Mike Meyerhofer and Rob Summers got together. The next
Yellow Book USA caution period was for Vincent Merry’s spin for the next
stop. Finally under way Corso was again the leader, with Fran Prestay
next. Brandon Hill was third until Kent Burkoth caught him. Terry Patnode
definitely had the fastest car on the track along with Jeff Holmgren Jr. as
these two were on the move. Patnode moved past Hill on lap four with Holmgren
following one lap later.
On lap twenty four Prestay spun and out came another caution flag. This was
just what Patnode wanted, quickly moving past Burkoth as the green came back
out. Then two laps later Merry and Michael Kruschke tangled. That was the
final caution as it was 11:02 pm. Corso was awarded the win, with Patnode
never getting the chance to challenge the winner, but taking second. Burkoth
was third nipping Holmgren at the wire, Hill was fifth and Mike Simon
Jr. rounding out the top six.
Jamie Everett paced the field of the super stock feature just one lap before
Mike Hansen took over the lead. The first of more than the usual amount of
slow downs would follow, the first on lap seven, when Randy Schneider running
second tagged the leader and around he went. This gave Adam Regnier who was
third at the time a clear shot for the win. John Maki Jr. moved in on
the leader just after the green came back out, but Joe DeCubellis wanted the
same spot. This gave the leader a big break as the second place runners put on
a show for second, with the leader moving away from the pack.
Then Schneider and Hansen tried to prove a point to each other causing another
caution on lap nine teen. Three more cautions came the same lap before finally
getting under way to bring another slowdown on lap twenty as Seth Lootens a
first night driver that made the dash, crashed into the turn two tires.
Lootens was not hurt but his night was over. There would be five full laps of
real racing as Regnier stayed in front for the win. DeCubellis and Ken
Eisbrenner both nipped Maki, Tom Roney would take fifth and Scotty Norton came
in sixth.
Danny Powell climbed in front of the sportsman field as the feature got it’s
first lap in. Rick Rowlett, John Fischer and Mike Smart. Somehow Kenny Joosten
was able to move up to second by lap nine, then into the lead on lap eleven,
just before Powell spun in front of the pack, bringing out the only
caution.
Joosten walked the field until lap twenty two, when Jeremy Bloomberg caught
him. This set up a great finish, as Jamie Dorsey put on the pressure finishing
second just behind the winner, Bloomberg was third, with Erik Pierce, John
Janssen and Kenny Smart so close at the checkered.
The super mini cup feature went until lap seventeen before a caution, after
Eric C. Gehrke led laps one through five. Brandon Scurto took over the front
position and even with numerous challenges took the win over Ken Jones, Jeff
Meyers the fast timer. Gehrke was next with Andy Forster and Kevin DeVries
sixth.
The mini modifieds join the regular divisions next Saturday night. Time trials
Are at 5:45 pm. racing at 7 sharp. The Lions Club special is this
Thursday night At 7pm. for
