Haseleu Wins Champions’ Invitational 100
Friday, June 30, 2006 (Oregon, WI) - Nathan Haseleu of Pardeeville topped a
field of twenty-six cars to win the 100 lap Champions’ Invitational for
super late models at Madison International Speedway. Other feature
winners included Tim Syvrud in the Bryden Motors Area Sportsman, Jim Robinson
in the Club LaMark Hobby Stocks, and Rodney Mundt in the Roto Rooter Bandits.
A star studded field of super late model drivers featuring many former track
champions as well as champions from throughout Wisconsin were led to the green
flag by Jeff Storm and Jeremy Miller. Storm had the advantage after the
first lap before the caution flag waved for a spin.
Storm continued to lead after the restart followed by Kyle Kinder, Brian
Johnson Jr., Scott Ollerman, and Steve Carlson. On lap 6 Johnson slid by
Kinder for second with Ollerman and Carlson getting by Kinder on the next lap.
An inside pass on lap 17 propelled Carlson ahead of Ollerman and into third
with Haseleu, who started thirteenth, up to fifth. On lap 21 Haseleu was
up to fourth with Andrew Morrissey breaking into the top five. Lap 37
found Haseleu moving past Carlson for third with his sights set on Johnson’s
second place position.
Storm continued to hold off the field, but there was no stopping the high
flying Haseleu who on lap 44 got by Johnson for second. Haseleu wasn’t
finished yet as he started to dial in on Storm for the lead.
On lap 52 Haseleu dropped down low and passed Storm for the lead.
Carlson remained in third followed by Morrissey and Ollerman. A great
race ensued for the fifth position with Steve Holzhausen eventually able to
get past Ollerman.
The top three remained the same until lap 96 when Morrissey moved past Storm
for third, but on this night nobody would be able to catch Haseleu who cruised
to victory in the first annual Champions’ Invitational.
Haseleu set fast time with a lap of 17.616. Heat race winners were John
Baumeister Jr, Landry Potter, and Bill Baumeister.
Tim Syvrud made the most of his first visit to MIS by winning the twenty-five
lap feature for the Bryden Motors Area Sportsman.
Starting on the pole, Syvrud took the early lead with Randy Padfield and
Chris Ehrhart close behind. Closing quickly was point leader Scott
Riedner, who following a caution on lap five, was up to second followed by
Ryan Goldade and Scott Lawver. The four soon distanced themselves from
the field of twelve until the caution flag came out on lap 19 for a spin.
Syvrud continued to lead after the restart with Riedner doing everything he
could to somehow get by the leader. Riedner would be unable to do so and
eventually gave up his second place finish to Goldade. Lawver would
finish fourth followed by Brian Paszek.
Heat races were won by Jim Burns and Goldade.
Rodney Mundt became the second first time feature winner of the night when he
bested a field of twelve Roto Rooter Bandits in their twenty lap feature.
Jody Schmidt and Brandon Skolaski started on the front row but it only took
Mundt three laps to capture the lead and check away from the field.
Mundt quickly built up a ten car length advantage over the field.
With Mundt expanding his lead, Alex Jones grabbed the second position hoping
for a caution flag to take away Mundt’s advantage. Behind Jones a good
race was taking place for third with Steve Dickson and Tyler Kelley battling
it out. Joining Dickson and Kelley in their battle was Rory Padfield
making it a solid three car tussle for third.
On this night Mundt was simply too fast as he ran away for his first feature
win. Following Mundt were Jones, Dickson, Kelley, and Padfield.
Heat races were won by Stephen Scheel and Padfield.
The name Robinson has become synonymous with Club La Mark Hobby Stock feature
wins and tonight would be no exception as Jim Robinson came home the winner in
the twenty lap feature.
Mike Storkson and Robinson comprised the front row of the twelve car feature
with Robinson getting out to the early lead followed by Storkson and Kyle
Stark. Andy Raley was up to second on lap three when he got by Storkson
and Stark went to the pits with a flat tire.
Moving up through the field was Johnny Robinson II who was up to second by lap
7. Jim Robinson continued to build a sizable margin over his fellow
competitors and started to reel in lapped cars. The only question was
whether or not he would have enough time to catch the leader.
Johnny Robinson, Jim’s cousin, may have had the faster car, but twenty laps
would not be enough time as Johnny ran out of time and wouldn’t be able to
catch his cousin tonight. Following the Robinsons were Storkson, Nick
Newton, and Raley.
Club LaMark Hobby Stock heat races were won by Newton and Johnny Robinson II.
Next week at Madison International Speedway will be Construction Labor
Management Night at the races with action in the Weaver Auto Parts ASA Late
Models, Bryden Motors Area Sportsman, Club La Mark Hobby Stocks, and Roto
Rooter Bandits. Pit gates open at 3:30, hot laps begin at 4:45,
qualifying at 6:45 and racing at 7:30.
