Schenck Takes MSA Checkers At Wilmot
Results from Wilmot Speedway
June 26, 2004
Wilmot Speedway - Wilmot, WI On a beautiful Saturday evening made for racing,
27 cars arrived to do battle at the Wilmot Speedway in Wilmot, WI. In the end,
after a night of hard, wing-to-wing, wheel-to-wheel racing, points leader Doug
Schenck came home with his second feature win of the season.
The night began with a bang, as strong Rookie of the Year candidate #57 Scott
Kuxhouse made a great move to the outside of #24 Scott Conger on an 8th lap
restart to steal the victory in the first heat. Following Kuxhouse and Conger
were #0 Johnny Fahl, #26 Al Schlafer and #16 Chris Wiser taking the final
transfer spot.
Heat two was action-packed as well, with #2 Joe Wipperfurth, defending MSA
champion Doug Schenk, another Rookie of the Year contender #53 Shane Wenninger
and #18 Keith Fellner all tangling on a lap four restart. On the ensuing
restart, #11 David O'Neil pulled away for the victory, followed by #21h Tim
Haddy, #3x Scott Semmelmann, Schenk who had charged back to 4th, and #99h Rob
Heywood.
Heat three was fast and nearly green to checker, as #25 Danny Schlafer shot
out to the lead from his third row starting spot and never looked back.
Following Schlafer was the #22 of Mark Wernes Jr., #69 Bill Taylor, another
strong Rookie of the Year candidate #20h Rob Pribnow, and #71 Chad Tessman.
Dan Duffield, who finished 9th, had been running a strong 2nd when a mid-race
overheating problem took him out of the action.
In the Triton Trailers/Racing Optics B-Main, #7 Lance Fassbender, who came
into the night second in points, would take the checkers and transfer to the
all important A-main, followed by a very fast #01 Alex Crimmings and #30
Etchie Biertzer who put on an exciting wheel-to-wheel battle, Wipperfurth who
made an impressive run coming from his 11th place starting spot, #92 Craig
Hemmen, Wenninger, and #14 Joe Pantely. The #00 of Jerry Ski had been running
strong when multiple front end problems sidelined him for the night.
The night's A-Main was all Doug Schenck, who lapped over half the field on the
way to his second feature win of the season, despite being slowed by four
cautions. The night's most serious event came on a lap three restart, when
Chris Wiser and Johnny Fahl got together going into turn one. Wiser, who took
a hard ride, was uninjured, but his machine was done for the night. On the
sixth lap, the two hard charging and front running cars of Danny Schlafer and
Scott Conger got together, ending the night for both and shuffling the
season's points race. In the end, it was Schenck taking the checkers, followed
by Wipperfurth, who received the night's Hard Charger Award - moving up from
his 20th place starting spot. Fahl, who had another strong run, Haddy, O'Neil,
Fassbender with an impressive charge to the front, Crimmings, Chad Tessman,
Biertzer and Pribnow.
The MSA returns to action this holiday weekend, with a Friday night, July 2nd
show at TNT Speedway in Three Lakes, WI in its only appearance there in 2004
and then on Saturday, July 3rd at the Raceway at Powercom Park in Beaver Dam,
WI, for its first of four shows at the facility.
