Kertchner Wins Caution Free Sprint Main At Plymouth
(Plymouth) It was a beautiful night for racing under the fairground lights in
Sheboygan County at Plymouth Dirt Track, and a grandstand full of fans seemed
to agree. The rotation for the evening was Late Models, Grand Nationals,
Sprints and Outlaw Compacts.
After starting on the outside pole of the first heat race in the Late Model
division, Jim Schmidt of Cleveland took off away from the rest of the field in
the first of three heat races to pick up a win, beating the second place
finisher Charlie Schmidt(Oostburg) by about half a lap.
Todd Jensema of Sheboygan Falls beat Brad Seivert (Mukwanago) to the flag,
after some heated racing between the two lap after lap. Tim Carmen finished
third.
Rick Scheffler of Waukesha used the outside groove to his advantage in the
final heat for the Late Models. Jim Letizia (Milwaukee) finished second.
In the first of four Grand National heat races, Brad Mueller of Random Lake
went to the point by running the higher of the two racing grooves on the
track. He over took Doug Teunnissen (Sheboygan Falls), and went on to win,
Teunnissen right behind him.
Brian Genske of Cleveland won the second heat over Matt Yancey (Sheboygan
Falls) and Loren Lubach (Sheboygan).
Cliff Annis of Glenbuelah kept Brad Dahmer (Sheboygan Falls) behind him in the
third heat for the Grand Nationals for the the win.
Scott Sohrweide of Chilton, who started last, raced his way up through the
field to grab the lead coming to the white flag, racing door to door with Paul
Perronne of Plymouth. Sohrweide prevailed taking the win in heat.
The Sprint division also had four heats, with forty cars looking to make their
way into the 25 Lap A-main feature. Ozzie Wesener (Plymouth) charged to the
lead and lead by a full straightway coming to the checkers for the win in the
first heat.
Al Schlafer (Sussex) won the second heat over Brian Perl (St. Peter), and Kurt
Davis (Milwaukee) won the third, moving him closer to catching Danny Schlaffer
(Sussex) on the all time wins list.Leroy Ostrowski (Milwaukee) and Terry
Marten (Sheboygan Falls) both rolled during the same caution in seperate
incidents, both of them were ok. In the fourth and final heat, Dave
Enders of Kiel beats Rob Pribnow of Lomira to the line to pick up the
checkers.
The Outlaw compacts had two heats with Jeremy Miller of Random Lake
winning the first heat over Jay Riemer of Sheboygan Falls, and Travis Moehring
(Sheboygan) came across the line before Scott Long (Waldo) in the second heat.
Randy Markwardt of Sheboygan had to race his way into the A-main by competing
in the B-main for the Late Models, but he proved that he wasn't called
"Mighty" for nothing and charged to the point to pick up the
transfer. Also picking up transfer spots were Melissa Singer (Waldo),
Henry Dickman (Sheboygan), and Matt Buckmann.
In the B-main for the Grand National division Dan Sorce of Franklin used the
outside groove to get to the lead and pick up the transfer into the A-main.
Greg Kempf (Kiel), Jamie Theobald (Sheboygan), and Bernie Schommer.
The Sprint cars had two heat races, and T.J. Luedke of Plymouth came out
victorious in the first one to pick up one of three transfers from that race.
Brain Portschy (Oostburg) and Ken Jay Fiedler (Sheboygan Falls) also
transfered. In the second heat Troy Wondra of Lomira picked up the win and the
transfer. Tim Haddy, also from Lomira, and David O'Neal (Milwaukee) transfered
in as well.
In the Late Model's A-main, Jim and Turk Letizia of Milwaukee and Russ and
Rick Scheffler of Waukesha swapped the lead back and forth, but it was Russ
Scheffler claiming the win at the end of the twenty-five lap feature, Sievert
was second and Rick Scheffler was third.
Chad Rathke of Random Lake picked up the win in the Grand National A-main. He
was closely followed by Teunissen. Dahmer was third, Brad Lubach (Elkhart
Lake) was fourth, and Luke Scholton (Oostburg) was fifth.
The Sprints had a record setting A-main, racing from flag to flag with no
cautions. The race took only six and a half minutes to complete. Mike
Kertchner, who is filling in for Scott Sipple in the No. 5s Sprint kept to the
point even after heavy charges were made by Danny Schlafer and Rob Pribnow.
Kertchner kept them behind him and went on to win the twenty-five lap feature.
Schlafer came in second, Pribnow third, Jim Melis (Glenbuelah) fourth, and Al
Schlafer rounded out the top five.
Chris Baumann in the Outlaw Compact division beat Jay Riemer to the line in
the fifteen lap feature, with Jeremy Miller finishing third, Scott Long was
fourth, and Travis Moehring was fifth.
Next week the vintage cars will be coming out to race after they were rained
out during their June race. Be sure to come check them out along with the
hottest racing action in the area at Plymouth Dirt Track.
