Fifth
Super Late Model feature win for Skinner!
By Dale Erdmann |
July 7, 2001; Lake Geneva, WI. - It was a hot humid night at Lake Geneva Raceway Saturday night as Billy Skinner
Jr. of nearby Pell Lake won his fifth 35 lap feature in the super late model division.Mike
Kooi of Island Lake, Illinois won the 25 lap McHenry Limo super stock feature race running
away from the field off the pole leading all but lap one .Tom Ross of Wadsworth won the
shortened Sideline Motorsports sport truck feature for 12 laps. On a specially prepared
road course track the 15 lap BIC feature went to Dale Gustum of Darien who led start to
finish. The night was marred by a qualifying lap incident as Ryan Matthews slammed hard
into the start/finish line wall coming to rest just before turn one. Matthews a recent
college graduate was shaken but not injured, but his race car was badly damaged.
In his first appearance of the season Terry Patnode scooted out
front with Kent Burkoth just behind him. Jerry Cowan and Billy Baumeister were next.
Before the lap was completed Burkoth was in front with a tight field behind him. On lap
seven Chuck Duncan got onto the wall after an incident that caused Joel Clossey to slide
under the other mount.No one was injured but both cars received damage and their night was
over during the first and only caution of the super late model feature.
On the restart Burkoth sailed out front with Baumeister and Billy Skinner Jr. in a dead
heat for second. Joe Fischer, Denny Hiffman, Cowan and Landry Potter were next. The race
for second was what the crowd had their eyes on,as Baumeister held the slight wiskers edge
advantage.By lap twelve Potter got by Cowan and set his sights on Hiffman.
Entering lap twenty it was Burkoth by a four car lead, with Skinner just ahead of
Baumeister, Fischer anda hard charging Potter who had the inside. Skinner slipped inside
the leader on lap twenty five, with Potter and Baumeister just waiting for the slightest
mistake. Skinner drew close to Burkoth in now another dead heat for the top spot. For the
Next few laps it was a see/saw battle as either driver would lead the race. The top
three were under a blanket on lap thirty. Skinner edged ahead one lap later and with just
two laps to go he was secure in his new position.The race for second back was still up for
grabs as Skinner won the event. Burkoth nipped Potter for second, with Hiifman fourth.
Baumeister held onto fifth with Baumeister next.
Trevor Mock slipped in front at the drop of the first green flag of the super stock
feature. On lap two Mike Kooi who has had two weeks of qualifying problems flew in front
and never looked back. Scott Scholl worked on Greg Janutka for one lap and set his sights
on Mock. By lap nine Scholl and mock were in a dead heat for second. Then Brad Spiniolos
broke an axle stopping the intense action on lap ten.
Kooi ran away and hid again,but the race was for second as Scholl and Craig Mertes put on
a five lap battle before the change came. Doug Peterson joined these two with a tight
field behind them.With just five laps left Peterson worked his way around Mertes with last
weeks feature winner Rob Summers now challenging for third. At the checkered
Kooi won the event, with the race for second going to Peterson, Summers nipped Mertes for
third,as Andy Szymanskyj and Dave Timan rounding out the top six.
Dale Gustum started on the pole and went on to win the road course BIC feature lapping his
first car with just six laps to go. Jeff Baum was second with Todd Booker who won the semi
due to arriving after qualifying was over because of the change in the schedule. Last
nights feature winner Willy Webb fourth, Bill Horvat and Rob Schiebel were next.
Next Saturday night the Performance Unlimited sportsman return with a tight battle between
point leader Mike Lange and second place Brian Baker with just five points separating
them. The super late models and super stocks will join Bumper to Bumper in Lake
Geneva and Burlington the nights sponsor.It will also be Hot Tub night. Anyone who comes
