Down The Stretch

Going into racing action at the Powercom Speed Zone on Tuesday there was a
popular theme…Time to make your move! With only one week remaining after
this one it was time to either secure your spot on top of the standings or try
to get within striking distance for a final night shootout.
The Grand National division started with the top three in points separated by
only 6 points. Tim Doehling, Terry Van Roy, and Larry Richards did little to
clear things up when the dust cleared after their feature. Doehling would hold
off Van Roy to pick up the win while Richards would grab fifth. Doehling and
Van Roy would begin their battle on lap 6 and not let up until the final lap.
Doehling working the high groove and Van Roy the low groove and at different
points it would like the other would have the win. But in corner four of the
final lap, Doehling would take the spot and pick up the win. Dan Wirl would
take third and Dion Wahl fourth to complete the top five.
The Charter Communications Street Stock division would run the second feature
of the night and as custom this year provided the best finish. With The points
battle in the firm grasp of Jerry Kope it was time to race for wins. Scott
Solomon would sneak past Frank Formiller in the final few feet of the event to
take the win. Formiller and Solomon would battle it out side by side for most
of the with Formiller holding the advantage for the last half of the event
that is until the last lap when Solomon drove into corner three hard and
carried the speed through corner four and had just enough to beat Formiller to
the line. Kope would storm to third with, Tim Reichenberger grabbing fourth
and Shawn Haydon fifth.
The Budweiser Modified division feature winner would show why he sits
comfortably on top of the standings with just one event left. Jay Schraufnagel
would drive through the pack and take advantage of a couple strong contenders
faltering to win the event. Schraufnagel would hold off a hard charging Mike
Mashl on the last lap in picking up the win. Dennis Schultz continued his
strong second half with a third place finish with Jarrod Anvelink and Mike
Sandholm finishing out the top five.
The Signmakers Dirt Devil division would see Bob Fahser dominate the field as
he would lead from lap 1 to lap 20. Fahser never looked back once he put his
camouflage car out front. Jon Schultz would grab second and increase upon his
7 point lead that he had going in to the night. While John Hall, Gordon Lewis
and Ron Koenig completed the top five.
