Bouche Captures Luxemburg IMCA Stock Car Special
by Joe Verdegan
(Luxemburg, WI) July 1 - Algoma's Dave Bouche inherited the lead on lap 15
after he tangled with leader John Heinz and went on to capture the 30 lap IMCA
stock car feature at Luxemburg Speedway Friday night. Bouche's victory, his
first of the season, was worth $750.
A total of 37 IMCA modifieds were on hand, along with 37 IMCA stock cars, 14
IMCA hobby stocks and nine141 hobbies.
Polesitter Heinz jumped into the lead at the drop of the green and held the
top spot through the halfway point. Kyle Frederick, who started eighth,
slowly whittled his way through the pack, working his way up to third by lap
10. Bouche ran second, and made contact with Heinz on lap 15.
Heinz was sent to the tail while Bouche kept the lead after track officials
ruled Heinz was the sole cause of the caution.
On the restart Bouche maintained the top spot, with Frederick and Jason
Czarapata dicing for the runnerup spot. Shawn Kilgore, who started 12th,
sliced his way through the pack into fifth by lap 18. During the last 10 laps
Bouche slowly pulled away from his foes and captured the victory. Jamie
Colwell outdueled Jason Czarapata to take second, Frederick and Shawn Kilgore
placed fourth and fifth, respectively.
Little Suamico's Sean Jerovetz passed Dean Maurer for the lead on lap two and
cruised to victory in the 25 lap IMCA modified feature, his first of the year.
The event's lone caution flew on lap two for an RM Van Pay spin. On the
restart Jerovetz and defending track champion Scott Mullen broke away from the
pack. By the event's halfway point Jerovetz was able to shake loose from
Mullen, and began sifting his way through lapped traffic by lap 15. As the
laps wound down Benji LaCrosse, Brian Mullen and Jared Siefert charged through
the pack. Scott Mullen tailed Jerovetz at the checkers. LaCrosse, Brian Mullen
and Siefert placed third through fifth, respectively.
Denmark's Tom Brumlic won the caution free 15 lap IMCA hobby stock feature.
The victory was his second of the season. Dave De Grave, Mike Mueller, Tony
Schlei and Dan Davister rounded out the top five finishers.
Green Bay's Pete Kumbalek won the 15 lap 141 Speedway hobby stock feature.
