3 In A Row For The Rookie
By Greg Aregoni
Saturday Night July 29th- Some rookies just try to make the feature in the
IMCA Modifieds. On occasion someone comes along and is a winner right away.
That is the case of Shawn Kilgore. The rookie picked up his third feature win
in a row in the Tri County Heating IMCA Modifieds.
Charlie Kroll passed race-long leader Rick Mahlberg with two laps to go to win
the Budweiser IMCA Stockcar feature.
Joe White picked up the clean sweep weekend in the Olson Fabrication IMCA
Hobby Stocks.
The bounty is still out on Von Eytcheson. Eytcheson passed Thom Terrien with 5
laps to go to win his fourth D.C. Custom Drilling and Blasting Street Stock
feature.
Dwayne Mertens led from the drop of the green flag in the Olson Fabrication
IMCA Hobby Stock feature. Dave DeGrave quickly made his bid for the lead but
Mertens was able to hold court. Roger Laviolette caught the top two and made a
three wide pass on lap 9. A caution on lap 10 set up a five lap dash to the
checkers. Joe White used the low line through turns one and two to catch
Laviolette and make the pass. White went on to pick up his first win of the
season. The win capped off a clean sweep weekend as White won at Luxemburg on
Friday night. Laviolette limped passed the finish line after hard contact with
DeGrave. Laviolette was given second followed by Jeff Lautenbach, Tom Brumlic
and Eddie Anschutz.
Thom Terrien was the man to beat early on in the D.C. Custom Drilling and
Blasting Street Stock feature. Terrien was leading with five laps to go when
Von Eytcheson caught him. Eytcheson made his move to the inside and was able
to make the pass on Terrien after heavy contact between the top two. Eytcheson
led through a series of cautions and picked up his fourth feature win of the
season. Tim Czarneski was second followed by Scott Reinhardt, Jeremy Wiitala
and James Iverson. The bounty will go up next week for any of the Street Stock
drivers that are able to beat Eytcheson.
Rick Mahlberg used his outside front row starting spot to grab the lead and
pull away in the Budweiser IMCA Stockcar feature. Mahlberg was able to jump to
a big lead while Jamie Suchoski and Charlie Kroll battled for second. After a
caution midway through the race Kroll was able to get around Suchoski on the
outside line. Kroll jumped to the middle line and pressured Mahlberg heavily.
With two laps to go, Kroll was able to get enough momentum to pass Mahlberg.
Kroll went on to win his first feature of the season. Mahlberg was second
followed by Suchoski, Mark Derenne, and Gary Reinhardt.
Chris Derenne jumped out from his pole position starting spot to lead the
Tri-County Heating IMCA Modified feature. Shawn Kilgore and Randy Lemieux Jr
followed right behind the leader. Jared Siefert was able to make his way
passed Lemieux for third. On lap 14 Kilgore found the opening he was looking
for coming out of turn two. Siefert followed right behind Kilgore. Kilgore
used the top line to pull away from Siefert and pick up his third feature win
in a row. Siefert increased his point lead after finishing second followed by
Derenne, Lemieux and Jay Matthias.
Dan Merkle won his first feature win of the season in the Bombers.
Tom Zastrow won his fourth feature of the season despite heavy pressure from
Kenny Malcore.
