Schryock Leads The Way In Luxemburg USMTS Go
by Joe Verdegan
(Luxemburg, WI) June 23- Six time series champion Kelly Schryock of
Fertile, Iowa took the lead at the drop of the green and survived 10 caution
periods to win the 40 lap USMTS modified feature at Luxemburg Speedway Thursday
night.
Kewaunee's Greg Gretz scored a clean sweep of the stock car division, claiming
both the heat and 25 lap feature. Kewaunee's Keith Kickbush led every lap en
route to victory in the 15 lap hobby stock feature.
A total of 52 USMTS modifieds were on hand, along with 25 stock cars and 12
hobby stocks .
Schryock jumped into the lead and held it through three caution periods for
various spins in the first five laps. Brian Mullen worked his way from 13th to
fourth in the first five circuits. When racing resumed Schryock kept the
lead and quickly closed in on lapped traffic by lap 13. The Iowa hotshoe
immediately built up a full straightaway advantage over Jerovetz and
company. Several caution flags flew over the course of the
contest, with Schryock disposing of his foes on each restart. Fellow Iowan
Ryan Ruter stormed through the field from his 19th starting spot to take
second in the closing laps, followed by Tommy Myer, Jon Tesch and Zack
Vanderbeek. De Pere's Mike Mashl fared best of the locals, placing
ninth.
Gretz took advantage of Shawn Kilgore's misfortune to capture the 25 lap stock
car feature.
Algoma's Dave Bouche and Kyle Frederick of Gillett swapped the lead for the
first several circuits. Frederick maintained the lead through a pair of
early cautions. By lap 12 a five car battle developed for the
lead, with Dave Bouche leading. Kilgore drove around Bouche for the lead
on lap 14. Kilgore kept the lead through two more caution periods and
fought off Gretz, Brian Bruechert and Rod Snellenberger in the closing laps
until a caution flew with three laps remaining.
On the restart Kilgore cut a tire, forcing him out of the race. Gretz
inherited the lead and fought off Snellenberger to score the win.
Snellenberger, Frederick, Craig Paque and Ben Kroll rounded out the top five
finishers.
Kewaunee's Keith Kickbush took the lead at the drop of the green and went on
to win the caution free 15 lap hobby stock feature.Trailing at the checkers
were Dan Davister, Mike Mueller, Tony Kanas and Dave De Grave.
There will be no racing Friday, June 24. Weekly racing will resume at
the third-mile, clay oval on Friday, July 1. US Concrete Construction and Peters Concrete present a $750 to win IMCA stock
car special. IMCA modifieds, IMCA hobby stocks and 141 Speedway hobby
