Weinfurter And Simonis Scores Feature Wins
By: Mae Schultz
The WDEZ, Bill Sherman and Dental Clinic of Marshfield night at Marshfield
Super Speedway treated fans to some exciting and unpredictable races. Jeff
Weinfurter snatched the Super Late Model Feature win, Andy Simonis won the
Super Stock Feature and Cody Meyer took the Cruiser Feature win.
Cautions and clever racing created some surprising action in the Super Late
Model Feature. Rookie Tim Hintz began the race with the pole, but he had to
fight off Josh Bell to keep the lead from the very beginning. Then, with 13
laps to go, Darek Gress came around on the outside to grab first place from
Hintz, Eugene Gregorich Jr. followed to take second, pushing Hintz back to
third. Then Hintz spun out, and a caution followed. A lot changed after the
caution. Gress fell to the back and Jeff Weinfurter, who started third
on the restart, charged up on the inside to steal second and then first place.
Weinfurter, who had the fast qualifying time, held the lead and achieved his
second win in three weeks. Gregorich finished second, Brian Back third, Josh
Bell fourth and Ben Pettis fifth.
The caution flag flew early in the Super Stock feature when Wes Coon spun out
in the fourth lap. After the caution, Matt Cournoyer, who had been leading the
race, fell to the middle of the field. With 13 laps to go, Andy Simonis took
first place on the outside. He pulled away from the field and went basically
unchallenged for the remainder of the race. The action was in the battle
for second place between Bo Bennish and Brian Weinfurter. Bennish prevailed in
turn three with seven laps to go. After the white flag flew, Matt Pyburn’s
car started to spark from the front wheel. A caution was called and the race
was considered finished. Simonis took first, Bennish second, Weinfurter, who
had the fast qualifying time, third, Randy Meyer fourth, and Travis Zvolena
fifth.
Cody Meyer started the Cruiser Feature third but charged to take first place
in the first lap. He held it to the end of the race, but it wasn’t easy.
With three laps to go, David Knauf caught up to Meyer and tried both the
inside and the outside grooves to get around him. When the white flag flew,
they were nose to tail, but Knauf’s efforts went unrewarded because Meyer
held him off until the checkered flag. Meyer finished first, Knauf, who
had the fast qualifying time, finished second, Tim Dickman third, Wayne Dietz
fourth, and Marc Baldwin fifth.

Last weekend T J Zeidler of Ringle , Wisconsin hit a haybale at another race
track, got knocked out and received a ride to the hospital. Tonight he
paced the field in the heat to a first place finish with local rider Cliff
Eckes Jr hot on his heels in second place. All eight riders transferred
to the final for a 10 lap shootout that raged all race long. But this
race joining Zeidler and Eckes were Steve Kasten from Hatley and Randy Ruffi
fromDuluth in a back and forth meelee. Kasten led off the line with
Eckes thundering by on the outside down the backstretch; then entering turn
three Zeidler swept by both on the high line. Ruffi lurked in their
shadows waiting for his turn at the point. Eckes held the point the
first lap, but Kasten surged ahead down the backstretch for lap two.
Zeidler took his turn out front on lap three with a full throttle blast around
turns three and four in an attempt to break away from the snarling pack. But
Kasten and Eckes held their ground and sped past once Zeidlers’ abused tires
lost grip. Ruffi tucked in behind those two and Zeidler was relegated to
fourth at the finish line. Craig Nigh led home the second pack battle
for fifth.
