Weinkaufs Battle For Super Late Win At Marshfield
By: Sara Johnson
Hot and muggy weather greeted the many fans for Buck Night. Tim Hintz
scored his first super late model fast time. Matt Pyburn made it three
fast times in a row with his super stock. Wayne Dietz was quickest timer
in the 1-Man cruisers.
Elliott Weiler led the 20 car field of super late models through the first
three circuits. Jason Weinkauf passed Weiler for the lead successfully
on lap four. Chris Weinkauf then began challenging Weiler for the second
spot. A few laps later he was successful and then began the chase for
the lead. As Chris Weinkauf began try and reel in his brother Jason, the
field behind raced hard to advance their spots. Weiler continued to hold
onto the third spot with Eugene Gregorich Jr, Jeff Weinfurter and M.G.
Gajewski all trying to pick up a spot. Gregorich battled with Weiler
working for that third spot and got it on lap 12. Weinfurter then began
trying to take the fourth spot from Weiler, but Gajewski made the move on
Weinfurter to grab the fifth spot. Meanwhile Jason Weinkauf continued to
lead the field ahead of his brother to the checkers. Jason Weinkauf took
the win, Chris Weinkauf second, Gregorich third, Weiler fourth and Gajewski
fifth.
The caution flew before a lap was even completed in the super stock feature
for the spun car of Scott Simons. Larry Schultz led the first lap once
it was back underway. Matt Raykowski took the lead for the next five
laps. Lap five the caution was out again for the spun car of Bruce
Stanley. Several more cautions would plague the super stock feature
race, but Cale Laessig, the new leader, would take them through each one as he
held out for the win. Raykowski, Randy Meyer, Chad Scholl and Schultz
would all swap back and forth within the top five. Wes Coon and Matt
Pyburn raced to the front and were in the top five for the last half of the
race. The yellow came out with only three to go, when a smoke problem
with Coon’s car became worse. Coon retired his machine to the
pits. Pyburn then slide up into the third spot with Weinfurter and Randy
Emmerich moving up in the top five. Emmerich then had troubles and also
pitted. Laessig led the field for the win, Scholl second, Pyburn third,
Weinfurter fourth and Travis Zvolena fifth.

A dozen daring cyclists fought it out on the blacktop tonight; and after
practice it looked like the blacktop was winning; with Hatley’s Steve Kasten
falling by himself in turn two as his front tire washed out. His
leathers and helmet did their job and he recovered his speed with a close 3rd
place finish in the first heat behind Mark Zeidler and Brad Seavers. The
second heat was a four-man shoot out between Randy Ruffi of Duluth, Troy
Johnson of Big Falls, TJ Zeidler of Ringle and Marshfield’s Cliff Eckes
Jr. Eckes gapped the field at the end setting up a very interesting ten
lap feature race. With the top three from each heat on the front row,
six engines revved madly waiting for the twitch of the starters green
flag. Off the line they sped, into turn one a spray of sparks off their
steel shoes and tires smoking off into the backstretch. The Zeidler
brothers, Mark and TJ shared the lead for the first lap before the younger
Mark hurtled his 450 Honda into the lead, setting a pace no one else could
match. But luck was not on his side as his rear sprocket came off,
dashing his chances for a clear cut victory; and bringing out the red
flag. The remaining riders lined up single file for a restart; and all
slammed into the first corner, charging out onto the straightaway in groups
two and three wide. TJ Zeidler held onto the lead for the first lap but
on lap two the practice crash not slowing down Steve Kasten, he burst into the
lead. Marshfield’s Cliff Eckes Jr. followed his wheel tracks past
Zeidler for second, but although he could match Kasten’s pace he could not
pass him, and Steve Kasten put his name in the record book as the first cycle
feature winner at Marshfield Super Speedway for 2006.
