Fall Spectacular At Marshfield
By: Mae Schultz
Although cautions plagued most of the features on the first night of the fall
spectacular at Marshfield Super Speedway, drivers managed to still give race
fans a pretty good show.
It was a family affair in the twin 40-lap super late model features, because
both Weinkauf brothers pulled out a feature win.
In the first super late model feature, there were over six cautions which
slowed down the pace of the race. However, after each restart Mark Eswein,
Jason Weinkauf and a few others managed to stay in the top of the pack. After
the last caution, which took place with eight laps to go, there were only nine
out of 17 cars left in the field. At the restart, the top three, Jason
Weinkauf, Steve Holzhausen and Mark Eswein pulled away from the rest of the
pack. With four laps to go, Holzhausen was working hard to catch Weinkauf. But
Weinkauf was able to hold him off to take the checkered flag. Right before the
checkered flag, Eugene Gregorich was able to overtake Gary Back for fourth
place. Weinkauf took first, Holzhausen second, Eswein third, Eugene Gregorich
fourth, Back fifth.
In the second super late model feature, less cautions and more passing gave
race fans a faster paced event. In the first lap of the race, Tim Hintz edged
out first place from Clint Sillars on the outside. Rod Brewe had also pushed
his way up from fourth to second place. But their momentum was slowed when the
yellow flag flew in the first five laps. After the restart, Brewe stole first
place from Hintz on the outside groove. Meanwhile, Chris Weinkauf was
working his way up the pack from his tenth place start. With 28 laps to go,
Weinkauf took second place from Hintz. Just six laps later, Weinkauf took the
lead. He dominated the rest of the race, creating a gap between himself
and the rest of the pack. Allen Check also had quite a successful race.
He was able to work his way from an eleventh place start to a second place
finish. Chris Weinkauf won, Check took second, Jeff Weinfurter third,
Ryan Jake fourth, and Rod Brewe fifth. Both Weinkauf brothers were
guaranteed a slot in the main super late feature event on Saturday.
The super stock feature had so many cautions that it almost went over the time
limit that was set for the race. However, after multiple cautions, the drivers
were able to finish the race regularly. In the first lap, Dan Gilster and
James Kruschke were fighting for the lead. They were neck and neck for a
couple of laps until, Kruschke was able overtake Gilster on the outside.
Kruschke was able to keep the lead through many of the cautions and restarts.
However, Bo Bennish, who started eleventh, was sneaking up the pack to
challenge the leaders. With 20 laps to go, he had already worked his way up to
fifth place. Also, Brian Weinfurter had made it to third place. After the
third restart, with 17 laps to go, Bennish snatched second and then first
place. Although Bennish led for the rest of the race, Weinfurter rode his tail
for most of the time. With six laps to go, Wes Coon was in third place and
working to take second, but Weinfurter held off his advances. In the last lap,
Weinfurter must have had some car trouble, because he backed off, losing many
positions. Bennish won, Coon took second, Cale Laessig third, Colin Wilcott
fourth, and Kruschke fifth. Weinfurter had to settle for seventh place.
The 4-cylinder feature was also riddled with caution after caution. The first
caution was caused in the second lap by a three-wide situation. After the
restart, Kevin Eckes and JJ Flick were out in the front of the pack, with
Flick putting lots of pressure on Eckes. On another restart with 20 laps to
go, Paul Berg slipped into second place on the inside groove. Eckes still
maintained a nice lead. After the third caution, Eckes’ luck started to
change. On the restart, Steve Stewart was in second place and very ready to
challenge Eckes. With 11 laps to go, Stewart successfully used the inside
groove to take first place. Eckes slipped to second, but didn’t keep it for
long because Jeremiah Strauss raced him side by side and took second place.
Strauss tried to catch Stewart but couldn’t overcome his lead. Stewart won,
Strauss took second, Steve Hauser third, Eckes fourth, and Flick fifth.
Skylar Domine charged from fourth place to take the lead in the first lap of
the 1-man-cruiser feature. However, after a restart he couldn’t hold it.
With 13 laps to go, Troy Engman pushed forward on the outside for the lead. He
gained a considerable lead and held it for the rest of the race. David Knauf
worked his way from eleventh place to take second, but he couldn’t catch
Engman. Domine spent the majority of the race trying to get around Justin
Lindner who was in third place, but he couldn’t make it happen. Engman won,
Knauf took second, Lindner third, Domine fourth, and Tood Hoeper took fifth.
The IMCA Oldtimers/Vintage racecars were back again tonight. Roger Shure
picked up both the heat and feature wins in the opened wheel division.
Bill Lindner won the feature for the full bodied cars.
