Kristan Wins First At Plymouth Dirt Track
by Staci Abrahamson

(Plymouth) It was another high car count night at Plymouth Dirt Track this past Saturday at the Sheboygan County Fairgrounds. One hundred and twenty-one cars ready to push the cushion and race to the edge.

Sprint cars were first in the rotation, and had thirty eight cars in the division. Jerry Ski of Milwaukee won the first heat of the night over Brian Kristan (Beach Park, IL). The second heat was dominated by Barry Maas (Cascade).

Lance Fassbender (Burnett), Dave Lisowe (Chilton), and Kurt Davis (Milwaukee) raced hard to the checkers in the third heat for the sprints, and it was Davis prevailing over Lisowe by about half of a foot.

Team cars of Tim Haddy (Lomira) and Rob Pribnow (Lomira) took off in the fourth and final heat race, they would finish one-two, but not after hard charging Danny Schlafer (Sussex) came from the back up to third by the end of the first lap.

T.J. Luedke (Plymouth) went to the point in the first of two B-mains on the night, and beat Earl Possi (Escanaba, MI) and Brian Portschy (Oostburg) to the flag. In the second B-main, Terry Marten (Sheboygan Falls) had a full straightway lead by the end of the third lap; he would take the checkers followed by his teammate Michael Emme (Manitowoc).

In the A-main, Dave Enders (Kiel) and Pribnow were racing wing to wing from one lap to the next. It seemed that  Enders or Pribnow would walk away with the feature win, but a hard charging Kristan caught them and blew by, marching to his first win at Plymouth Dirt Track this season.

The Grand National division was second in the rotation. They also had four heat races. 

Brain Genske (Cleveland) out ran Scott Haupt (Belgium) in the first heat, while Kiel driver Greg Kempf picked up his first win in the second heat. Scott Sohrweide (Chilton) won the third heat, and Brad Lubach was victorious in the fourth heat.

Random Lake driver, Jeremy Sauter picked up the win in the B-main over Brain Kaat (Plymouth) and Will Source (Franklin). Picking up the fourth and final transfer into the A-main was Chris Seehaver (Manitowoc).

The A-main Brad Mueller of Random Lake used the high groove to get to the lead and win the race over Tony Miller, also from Random Lake. Brad Dahmer (Sheboygan Falls) was third, and Kaat was fourth.

The Late Models had four heats to race qualify in for the A-main. . Milwaukee driver Al Atkinson picked up the first heat win over fellow Milwaukee driver Jim Letizia. Rick Scheffler (Waukesha) won the second heat over Charlie Schmidt (Oostburg).

In the third heat, Ted Dolhun Sr. (Menomonee Falls) grabbed the win by outrunning Jim Schmidt (Cleveland) and Todd Jensema (Sheboygan Falls), and George Scheffler (Waukesha) won the final heat over Russ Scheffler (Waukesha).

Ray Reiss of Kiel won the B-main with Frank Geiger (Whitelaw) finishing second, and Bill Rezutek (Big Bend) coming in third.

Russ Scheffler, who finished second in his heat, came back and won the A-main feature of the night. Dan Source (Franklin) was second, and Jim Schmidt (Cleveland) was third. 

In the Outlaw Compact division, there were three heat races. Kevin Genske won the first heat in the No. 87 team car over  Jay Riemer (Sheboygan Falls). 

Mari Gonwa of Plymouth picked up the win in the second heat. Scott Long (Waldo) finished second. And in the third heat, Elijah Reiss of Kiel out ran Justin Poenitsch for the win.

Travis Moehring (Sheboygan) picked up the win in the A-main feature for the Outlaw Compacts, which saw two roll-overs in two separated incidents. Both drivers were ok.  

E. Reiss came in second and S. Long was third.

The racing keeps getting hotter under the fairground lights, be sure to check it out, and don’t forget to check out the scoreboard, which had its first night of operation at the track. And for full race results
