by Joe Verdegan
(Luxemburg, WI) June 23 - Green Bay's Jared Siefert passed Eddie Muenster for
the lead on lap 10 and went on to win the 25 lap IMCA modified feature at
Luxemburg Speedway Friday night. The victory, Siefert's first of the year at
the track, was worth $1,000 from sponsor Robinson Metals. With his heat win
Siefert collected a clean sweep for the evening.
A total of 120 cars were in the pits, including 34 IMCA modifieds, 44 IMCA
stock cars, 20 IMCA hobby stocks and 22 sport fours.
Polesitter Randy Back took the lead at the drop of the green in the IMCA
modified feature, with Eddie Muenster tailing in second. Muenster passed Back
for the lead on the outside on lap seven when a Scooter Boyea spin tightened
the field.
After an aborted restart attempt racing resumed, Siefert snuck into the second
spot, taking the lead away from Muenster on lap 10. Benji LaCrosse, who
started 12th, shot around Muenster for second and began pressuring Siefert. By
lap 13 LaCrosse pulled up to Siefert, with LaCrosse working the high line and
Siefert protecting the bottom of the track. With five laps to go Siefert
pulled away from LaCrosse and coasted to victory. LaCrosse settled for second
place money, followed by Brian Mullen, RM Van Pay and James Tebon.
Luxemburg's Pat Davister fought off a fast closing Kyle Frederick in the
closing laps to win the 22 lap IMCA stock car feature, the first of the
season.
Davister wrestled the lead away from Rick Dix on the second lap of the IMCA
stock car feature. Jamie and Jesse Colwell quickly bolted through the field,
taking second and third spots, respectively, from their fifth row starting
spots. The trio broke away from the pack and ran nose-to-tail for the next
several laps. On lap 10 Jamie Colwell spun on the frontstrech, but the race
stayed green.
By lap fifteen Frederick threaded his way through the field, marching from
12th into third. Frederick rode the high line and caught the leaders by lap
16. Frederick took second by lap twenty and challenged Davister for the lead.
As the white flag was displayed the pair ran side by side, with Davister
edging Frederick in a photo finish at the line. Jesse Colwell, Jason Czarapata
and Shawn Havel rounded out the top five finishers. Kewaunee's Keith Kickbush
scored a clean sweep of the IMCA hobby stock class, winning his heat and the
18 lap feature.
Clintonville's Matt Oreskovich swept action in in the sport four class,
winning his heat and the 15 lap feature. Next Friday night, June 30 will be
Beverly Gardens night at the races. A regular program will be run, along with
