Wheeler Wins Hoosier Outlaw Winged Sprint Feature At Marshfield
By: Sara Johnson
A big thanks to all the fans, drivers and crews that made it to the show on
Father’s Day and to our sponsors: Nasonville Dairy & Webers Farm Store,
and Seubert Inc. The Hoosier Outlaw Winged Sprints proved to be wickedly
fast on the half-mile. Greg Wheeler from Columbia City, IN was the
quickest with a fast lap of 15.089. That is an average of 119 mph around
the speedway. The first of three limited late model events at the
speedway this season saw Kyle Bauknecht of Reedsville set fast time.
Mike Havel was the quickest 4-cylinder and Kyle Genett topped all the Pure
Stock events with a clean sweep.
David Gough of Mechesney Park, IL led the first two laps of the Sprint
feature. Fast timer Greg Wheeler of Columbia City, IN took the lead from
Gough. Tim Cox of Park City, IL flew to the front with Wheeler.
Cox then began to work on Wheeler for the lead. With only 12 laps
remaining, Cox dove to the inside of Wheeler to take the lead. With only
five laps left, the sole caution of the race flew for the leader, Cox, who
spun in turn two. Wheeler then resumed as the leader for the
restart. Cox wasted no time getting back to the front and started
working on reclaiming the lead. Cox tried to make the pass to the
outside of Wheeler stick, but Wheeler pulled ahead for the win. Cox
second, Gough third, Richey Jacobs of Fort Wayne, IN fourth and Jim Payne of
Brian, OH fifth.
The first couple of laps of the caution free limited late model feature were
led by Chris LaRocque. Justin Woller then made his pass to the inside of
LaRocque to take the lead. Fast timer Kyle Bauknecht raced his way from
the back to the front and into the second spot on lap six. LaRocque
continued to race. Kyle Calmes challenged LaRocque for that third spot
on lap ten and succeeded. Woller led the field to the finish, Bauknecht
second, Calmes third, LaRocque fourth and Brent Zastrow fifth.
Nineteen 4-cylinders took the green for the feature. Ricky Brandl aka
“The Kid” led the race for the first ten laps. Erin Schlough and
Adam Krzykowski battled to stay in the top five against Don Dunow, Kyle Opelt
and Jeremiah Strauss. Steve Stewart was also making his way to the front
of the pack moving up into third on lap seven. Three laps later he took
second and the following lap passed Brandl for the lead. Opelt also
caught up to Brandl and took the second spot. Opelt began to challenge
Stewart for the lead. As the two rounded the final corner, Stewart had
to gather his car back up and did so to take the win. Opelt second,
Krzykowski third, Mike Havel fourth and Strauss fifth.
Eleven cycles from near and far enjoyed the picture perfect track conditions
tonight. Fresh off the national dirt circuit, Lee Johnson from Big Falls
eeked out a close victory over Bancrofts’ Craig Nigh in the first 6
lap heat race. Fast starting Rib Lakes’ Brad Seavers headed the pack
off the line in heat two, but Marshfields’ Cliff Eckes Jr. and Hatleys’
Steve Kasten came roaring by two laps into the fray, while Lee Johnsons ‘
brother Troy marched his way to the front on lap four. Eckes briefly
retook the point, but Johnson would not be denied and received the checkers
first.
In the ten lap feature race, once again Brad Seavers won the drag race
into turn one, but Eckes and Kasten came screaming by entering turn
three. Duluths’ Randy Ruffi also advanced past Seavers on lap two to
occupy third. Once out front, the trio of Kasten/Eckes/Ruffi gapped the
rest of the field. Further back in the pack Rapids’ Ron Bean and Big
Falls’ Troy Johnson battled each other as they split the other riders;
ending up fourth and fifth. As the laps wound down, Eckes made several
attempts to pass Kasten; but could not quite get the job done. Then on
the white flag lap Eckes pushed to hard exiting turn four and almost fell;
Kasten crept that much further ahead, while Ruffi shadowed Eckes across the
finish line for third.

Kundinger fifth.
