Lacrosse, Bouche, Kickbusch And Thornton Win At Thunderhill
By Greg Aregoni
Saturday Night June 17th - Benji Lacrosse made his weekend perfect so far by
winning the IMCA Modified Feature at The Forest County Potawatomi Thunderhill
Raceway.
Dave Bouche won the IMCA Stockcar feature after a long duel with Mike Pierrard
and Tony Schlei.
Keith Kickbusch drove to victory using the highline in the IMCA Hobby Stock
Feature. It was his second feature win of the season.
Aaron Thornton won the Street Stock Feature event. The win was his third on
the season.
Joe Kraul won his fourth feature in a row in the Bomber division.
Tom Zastrow won his second Feature in a row in the 4 cylinder class.
Randie Back looked like the man to beat early on as he set the pace in the
IMCA Modified Feature event. Back was pressured heavily by Jared Siefert.
Siefert would try to make the pass on the outside but couldn’t get enough
momentum. A caution on lap 9 helped Benji Lacrosse catch Back and Siefert.
Lacrosse used the outside line to grab the lead and never looked back. Siefert
emerged in the battle for second followed by Back, Jay Matthias, and Scott
Boyea.
Scott Reinhardt used the outside of row one to lead lap one but Aaron Thornton
grabbed the lead on lap two. Von Eytcheson used a three wide pass on Reinhardt
and Thornton to grab the lead. Eytcheson started to pull away from the field.
With three laps to go Eytcheson broke his suspension on the left front tire.
Thornton was able to reel in Eytcheson and make the pass for the lead.
Thornton went on to win his third feature of the season followed by Eytcheson,
Reinhardt, John Sternard, and Jeremy Wiitala.
Rick Mahlberg led the opening lap of the IMCA Stockcar feature. He spun on the
front stretch giving the lead to Mike Pierrard. Pierrard continued to lead
until Dave Bouche took the lead on a three wide pass on Pierrard and Tony
Schlei. Jeff Vlies then made the pass into second. Vlies was all over the back
of Bouche but was never able to make the pass. Bouche picked up his first win
of the season followed by Vlies, Schlei, Pierrard, and Eugene Gregorich.
Dwayne Mertens set the pace for the first four laps of the IMCA Hobby Stock
Feature. Keith Kickbusch grabbed the lead using the outside line. Kickbusch
took off from the rest of the field. Eddie Anschutz was able to make the pass
for second but was never able to catch Kickbusch. Kickbusch won his second
feature of the season followed by Anschutz, Frank Paul, Mertens, and Dave
DeGrave.
Tom Zastrow won his second feature in a row in the 4 Cylinder Feature after a
race long battle with Kenny Malcore.
Joe Kraul won his fourth Bomber Feature in a row after battling with Brian
Belleau for the entire feature.
Next week is Dairy Queen Night. The Street Stock class will be getting
