Rookie Van De Hei Sweeps Luxemburg IMCA Mod Action
by Joe Verdegan
(Luxemburg, WI) August 13 - Green Bay rookie Tim Van De Hei took the lead on a
lap five restart and survived several caution periods to win his first 25 lap
IMCA modified feature at Luxemburg Speedway Friday night. Van De Hei's
heat win also netted him a sweep for the evening.
A total of 38 IMCA modifieds were on hand, along with 29 IMCA stock cars, 17
IMCA hobby stocks and 19 sport fours.
Rookie James Tebon paced the opening two circuits of the IMCA modified main
when Scott Mullen and Brad Rohloff tangled in turn one, drawing a lap two
yellow. When racing resumed Tebon kept the lead, with the points leader
Mullen rejoining the field at the tail. Van De Hei muscled his way into
second when a three car tangle involving Chad Wilcox, Jeremy Hodkiewicz and
Doug Maurer occurred on lap five, tightening the field again.
On the restart Van De Hei snuck underneath Tebon for the lead, and quickly
went to work building a comfortable lead over the rest of the field. A
Brian Drexler spin on lap 11 bunched the field again, with Randy LeMieux Jr.
passing Tebon for second on the restart. Van De Hei kept his nose
clean the rest of the way to record his first feature flag of 2004.
LeMieux held off Todd Dart for second. Tebon posted his best finish of
the year with a fourth while Dan Ratajczak placed fifth, coming from deep in
the field after winning one of two semi-features. Mullen battled back to
an eighth place finish, padding his points lead.
Rod Snellenberger of Pulaski came out on top of a race-long dogfight with Greg
Gretz and Shawn Kilgore to win his second 22 lap IMCA stock car feature of the
season.
Rookie Shawn Havel grabbed the early lead from the pole and kept the lead
until Snellenberger ducked underneath for the top spot on lap 10. Gretz
and Kilgore methodically sliced their way through the field, catching
Snellenberger by lap 15. The three waged a fierce challenge for the
lead. As the white flag was displayed Gretz car clipped an infield tire,
sending his car into a spin on the frontstretch. The caution was thrown
after the white had already been displayed. Per IMCA rules, the race was
called complete with Snellenberger winning. Points leader Kilgore took
second, followed by Laurel Ettien, Pat Davister and Havel.
Zion, Illinois' Tony Schlei fended off a fast-closing Tom Brumlic to win his
third 18 lap IMCA hobby stock feature. Brumlic, Keith Kickbush, Ed
Anschutz and Derek Moede followed in the caution free contest.
Algoma's Kenny Malcore survived a race-long battle with Todd Welsing to
capture his second 18 lap , caution-free sport four feature of the
season.
Next Friday night, August 20 the races will be sponsored by the Rendezvous of
Luxemburg. The street stocks will make their fifth and final appearance
of the season. Powder Puff races will also be held. For more information
