Clean Sweep For Gillentine, Meyers And Doherty
First Career Win For Kyle Jusits
By Dale R. Erdmann, Brianna Blink, Kim Straube and Cornia Skinner
Lake Geneva, WI. July 29th. Again the weather was just perfect as the second
largest crowd of the season came out Friday night at Lake Geneva Raceway. Neal
Gillentine of Yorkville, Illinois in the Formula Indy cars in their first
appearance of the season and Jeff Meyers of Elgin, IL. in the super mini cups
both had fast time, won their heat and the feature races that went non stop.
Twelve year old Kyle Jusits of Kenosha won his first career 15 lap feature
race in the INEX bandolero cars. Sixty three year Tom Ross of Northbrook,
IL. won the 15 lap Midwest sport truck feature. Ernie Schaal of
Wauconda, IL. won his fourth 15 lap feature in the Perfection Auto Body INEX
legends. Roadrunner driver Duane Lounsbuny of Beloit won his first
career feature in the brand new weapons division for their 15 lap feature and
Steve Doherty of Woodstock, IL. had a clean sweep in the Double R towing
Basic International cars, by taking fast time, winning the dash and the
non stop 15 lap feature race. Over 100 race cars participated in tonight's
show.
Hermann Greinig in his first appearance of the season slipped in front of the
legends feature, with Tom Palma, visiting Ryan Ellis and Ernie Schaal tight on
the leader. The field remained close, but Schaal was able to advance to second
by lap five, then in front one lap later. Quickly Eric Lokemoen followed the
new leader with Sonny Schoffen in the Don Schaal race car right on Palma’s
back side. With just five laps to go fast timer Curt Gnatzig who battled with
Schoffen for a few laps took over third, with Michael Bilderback now working
on Schoffen. The final five laps were picture perfect, as Schaal held back
Lokemoen for the win, followed by Gnatzig, Bilderback and Schoffen under a
blanket.
It took Neal Gillentine until the final lap nipping Grant Greenfield at the
line by just a few inches to the delight of the crowd. DeRon DeBoer was third,
with Vern Brown at his side for fourth and Kai McNulty in the middle for
another great feature finish in the Formula Indy
cars.
The bandolero feature got off to a rocky start as Andy Luebke only in his
third night of racing led the opening lap, but spun in turn four in front of
the field. This set up a situation that sent Branden Allen flying over the
hood of Tyler Blume before both slid up to the wall. . No one was injured and
everyone returned before the next green, despite a bent axle on
Blume’s car. Kyle Palma moved in front as the next green came out, remaining
the leader until the final lap. Earlier Collin Laursen who took fast time
challenged the leader from lap five until lap nine, before retiring to the
pits with problems. Kyle Jusits took over the challenge as he pulled inside
the leader. Palma was up for the challenge, but then the white flag came out
and it was a dead heat for the lead until the race to the wire. Jusits was
just in front for his first win, as Palma was second, Hope Bidlack was third,
with Allen recovering for fourth and Luebke in his best finish to date
claiming fifth.
It took Steve Doherty fourteen laps to catch Jason Spittle and come home the
winner. Spittle settled for second, with Bob Koch third, Jack Rabey was fourth
and Tom Homan was fifth in the non BIC feature.
The regular family fun night will be off one week. Next Friday night the
regular Saturday night moves back one night due to the Auto zone NASCAR
touring elite show. On Friday night the Budweiser super late models, the
Performance Unlimited sportsman, BIC cars, Lusia’s pizzeria mini modifieds
and Midwest sport trucks will be on the special card for a points show. Time
trials begin at 6pm. racing at 7:30 sharp. A special weekend pass will
be on sale for the two nights of racing.
