Knoblock Scores Limited Late Model Feature First Night Out
The Bauernfeind/NEC and RZ Builders was an awesome night to watch a
race. Neil Knoblock made his first trek to the track with his Limited
Late Model and scored a heat and feature win. Bo Bennish took the lead
from Matt Pyburn in the last few laps of the Super Stock feature to take the
win. Dan McGiveron won his first ever 4-Cylinder feature and Cody Meyer
made a clean sweep of the 1-Man Cruiser division.
Mike “Louie” Merriam led the first two laps of the Limited Late Model
feature event. Neil Knoblock grabbed the lead on lap three and began to
work his way ahead of the field. Behind the leader, Merriam fought to
hang onto the second spot until Matt Schulz worked by him. Lap 11, the
caution flew when Ben Duberstein spun in turn two. It was then
determined that Schulz’ machine had been leaking rear end grease and he was
sent to the pits. After the clean up, Knoblock resumed the lead with
Merriam taking back the second spot. Jody Benson and Mark Sherfinski
raced hard to get by Merriam and were able to get around him several laps
later. Sherfinski took the second spot but was unable to take the lead
from Knoblock, who went on to win. Sherfinski second, Schulz fixed his
grease leak and returned to claim third, Merriam fourth and Benson fifth.
Randy Meyer in the early laps led what would unfold into a thrilling Super
Stock feature. Matt Pyburn started in the eighth spot and drove through
the field to take the lead on lap six. Pyburn began to stretch out a
comfortable lead and the field fought for position behind him. Andy
Simonis and Cale Laessig caught up with Meyer and began trying to take the
second position. Shortly thereafter, Laessig had mechanical trouble and
was forced to pit. Simonis was able to make the pass on Meyer for second
on lap ten with Bo Bennish right behind grabbing the third spot from Meyer on
lap 11. Simonis and Bennish broke from the field and started trying to
close in on Pyburn’s lead. Bennish was made the pass on Simonis for
the second spot, but Pyburn had still had a big lead on him. The only
caution of the race flew on lap 15 for Matt Raykowski, spun in turn two.
Pyburn now had the entire field on his heels for the restart. Bennish
stuck right with Pyburn for the restart with only five to go. The last
green flag lap, Pyburn bobbled in turn one, and Bennish took advantage diving
to the inside. As the two came out of turn two, Bennish took the lead
fending off Pyburn for the win. Pyburn took second, Simonis third, Brian
Weinfurter fourth and Randy Emmerich fifth.
Young Adam Eckes led the first few laps of an exciting 4-Cylinder
feature. Lap two the only caution flew for Rob Barthen spun in turn
two. Eckes led the restart with Steve Hauser second, Erin Schlough
third, Dylan Hockin fourth and JJ Flick fifth. Hauser assumed the led
from Eckes on lap four, as the field fought for position behind him sometimes
four wide. Dan McGiveron was wasting no time advancing his
position. By lap seven he was in second and setting his sites on the
lead. McGiveron drove into turn one driving his way around the Hauser
machine to take the lead. Kevin Eckes was right there as well. As
soon as McGiveron had cleared Hauser’s car, Eckes began working on taking
second. Eckes was successful on grabbing second for the white flag lap,
but he was unable to challenge McGiveron for the lead. McGiveron won his
first 4-Cylinder feature ever. Eckes second, Flick was able to pull head
at the checkered to grab third, Hauser fourth and Schlough fifth.
The 1-Man Cruiser feature’s first two laps were led by Tim Dickman.
Cody Meyer then took charge of the lead and won for another clean sweep.
Dickman finished second, Wayne Dietz third and Mike Denny fourth.
