Seymour Drivers Wrap Up 2006 Season
Seymour, September 3- In what turned out to be a beautiful night for the final
race of the 2006 season Sunday night at the Seymour Speedway, 138 cars
competed in a full program completed at 9:40.
The Maplewood Shell/ Dedicated Systems WISSOTA Late Models were the only
division to complete their point chase for the season. and a field of 12 took
the green for the feature. The opening lap saw point leader, Tim Buhler tag
the front wall, cut a tire and slam the turn one wall, ending his night.
Terry Anvelink paced the opening lap when the race resumed and Rod
Snellenberger grabbed the top spot on lap 2 and led the field until Troy
Springborn sprinted by on the outside on lap 6. Once in front, Springborn
pulled away from the pack and ran to his second feature win of the season.
Justin Ritchie, Pete Parker, Nick Anvelink and Snellenberger ran together for
the rest of the race and finished in that order with Terry Anvelink rounding
out the top 6.
Despite his early exit from the race, Buhler earned the 2006 track title, his
second in three seasons for N.E.W. DIRT.
Mike Weitor grabbed the lead at the start of the Stock Car main followed by
Bob Schampers, Mike Franzke, Adam Van Haren, Darren Otto and Troy Jerovetz.
Over the first 5 laps, Otto and Snellenberger pulled to the front and on lap
6, sandwiched Weitor out of turn 2 and ran three wide into turn three before
Otto pulled to the lead at the line. Snellenberger continued to march to the
front and was the leader on the next go round. Snellenberger kept his car on
the high side and ran the rest of the race holding off Otto and then Chaz Van
Ooyen, Jr to win his 4th feature of the season. Van Ooyen took the runner up
spot with Van Haren taking his best finish of the season in third. Weitor,
Otto and Jerovetz rounded out the top six.
In the Street Stock main, 2006 champion, Harley Simon, grabbed the lead at the
start, but, it was not an easy run as a determined pack behind was looking to
knock off the champ. Todd Everard, Darren Otto, Jeremy Wiitala, and David
Hoerning stayed tight together and right behind the leader , aided by several
cautions during the race.
A final caution set up a 3 lap dash with Simon able to hold off the final hard
charge to win his 3rd feature of the season. Otto, Hoerning and Wiitala were
right behind at the finish with Mitch Landvick taking fifth and Everard sixth.
Chad Bartel led the opening lap of the Modified main before Mike Wedelstadt
took charge on lap 2. Chad Wilcox moved up to the runner up spot and
challenged the leader on the outside, scored as the leader a couple times over
the first 8 laps. Wedelstadt was able to open a slight lead over the final
half of the race with Wilcox followed by Jerry Wilinski, Eric Scribner, Jamie
Schmidt, Russ Huxford and Danny Deau. Wedelstadt ran to his first feature win
here since Sept 6, 2004 with Wilcox taking the runner up spot. Scribner took
third with Wilinski in fourth. Jarrod Anvelink and Tim Van De Hei made late
race runs rounding out the top six.
Matt Oreskovich drew the outside pole and led flag to flag to win his 6th
division feature of the season. 2006 champion, Tim Jorgenson, moved onto
second on lap 2 but chased the leader the rest of the way. Andy Kleczka, R.J.
Liegois, James VanDenBogart, and J.J. Anderson rounded out the top six.
The Sport Mods made a special appearance with Jason Jach winning the feature
event over Tom Schmidt, Marcus Yarie, Brad Bricco and Joe Van Ooyen.
