LaCrosse Sweeps Luxemburg IMCA Modified Action
by Joe Verdegan
(Luxemburg, WI) Aug. 20 - Hometown driver Benji LaCrosse won both his heat and
the 25 lap IMCA modified feature at Luxemburg Speedway Friday night, giving
him a clean sweep for the evening.
A total of 31 IMCA modifieds were on hand, along with 28 IMCA stock cars, 22
street stocks, 18 IMCA hobby stocks and 21 sport fours.
De Pere's Dean Maurer jumped into the lead from his front row starting spot at
the drop of the green in the IMCA modified contest. Bob Waechter drew
the first yellow of the race with a solo spin on lap four. Maurer kept
the top spot on the restart, which lasted just two laps before Brad Rohloff
and Danny Deau tangled in turn two.
When racing resumed Jared Siefert darted underneath Maurer for the lead, with
Benji LaCrosse passing Maurer on the high side for second.
LaCrosse committed to the top with Siefert's racer clinging to the lower
groove through the rest of the contest. Siefert's racer suffered a
breakdown on lap 11, handing the lead to LaCrosse. A lap 16 yellow
tightened the field again, with Seaon Jerovetz moving into second on the
restart. LaCrosse fought off Jerovetz in the final laps to score his
second feature win of the season. Brian Mullen, who qualified into the
feature from winning a semi-feature, nipped Jerovetz at the line for
second. Jerovetz took third, followed by RM Van Pay and Todd Dart.
Gillett's Kyle Frederick used the tacky high line to his advantage to win the
crash filled 22 lap IMCA stock car feature. The victory was Frederick's
first of the year. Jeff "PePe" Vlies took second, followed by
Jason Czarapata, Travis Van Straten and Rod Snellenberger.
Forestville's Von Echenson took the lead with five laps to go and won the 25
lap street stock feature. Echenson also accumulated enough points to win
the five race street stock series points title.
Oshkosh's Jerry Kope passed Darren Otto for the lead on lap 10. Echenson
passed Otto for second on lap 12 and the pair chased down Kope.An Allen
Schlueter spin on lap 17 tightened the field. On the restart Kope had
his hands full with the pair with Echenson passing Kope for the lead on lap
20. Echenson was never headed as he captured the feature and the
division's series points title. Otto, Harley Simon, Fred Davister and Mike
Pierarrd placed second through fifth, respectively.
Zion, Illinois' Tony Schlei grabbed the lead on a lap 3 restart and cruised to
a full straightaway victory in the 18 lap IMCA hobby stock feature. Tom
Brumlic, Keith Kickbush, Dave DeGrave and Dave Lane followed.
Bonduel's Greg Banker won his third sport four feature of the season.
Banker also won his heat, scoring a sweep for the evening.
