Win!
By Dale R. Erdmann |
June 19, 2004; Lake Geneva, WI. - It was Lynch Motors night at Lake
Geneva Raceway Saturday night and a great crowd was on hand to witness the big program.
Eddie May of Crystal Lake, Illinois won his fourth Jim Olson collision centers super late
model 35 lap feature and Mike Gunderson out of Wind Lake won his first 25 lap McHenry
Limousine super stock feature, after many weeks of frustration.
The 40 lap headliner Mid American Yellow Book USA feature went to Jeremy Miller from
Rockton,IL. It was thought that Miller broke the one lap qualifying mark, but that record
stands from June 23rd. 2003 by Jake Ryan.Miller is the MSCS point leader and this win gave
the young driver back to back wins, after last weeks feature at WIR.
Rookie Dave Thomas shot out front of the pack with Billy Baumeister,
Jacob
Humphrey, Landry Potter and Randy Rodgers in a cluster behind him. Lap five the first
Yellow Book USA caution period came out for a Potter and Jerry Cowan incident. The race
was only one lap older when Dave Martinson smashed hard into the wall. Martinson
wasnt injured but his night was over.
On the restart Rodgers picked the inside with Thomas in front and Humphrey
behind him. As the green appeared Thomas marched right back in front, much to the
amazement of the two behind him. Lap thirteen Vincent Merry spun stopping the intense pace
one more time. Each time Thomas wasnt going to be denied and drove a perfect line in
front of the field. On lap seventeen, Joe Fischers mount started on fire coming to a
halt in front of the crowd. The fire was put out by the safety crew and Fischer escaped
unharmed.
On the restart Thomas slipped back in front, but this time Rodgers stayed with the leader,
creeping along side him, then contact was made. Rodgers moved in front and Thomas slowed
dramatically, retiring to the pits, with the clutch out of his mount, after a brilliant
run. Eddie May quickly followed the new leader, with Humphrey still third. Fast timer
Wayne Freimund was right behind this group and Baumeister could feel Jason Hicks presence
in the next gaggle of cars.
May worked on Rodgers for four laps before securing the top spot,on lap twenty four.The
race remained the same as May picked up the win over Rodgers, Humphrey, Freimund,
Baumeister and new point leader Hicks.
Dave Edwards slipped in front of the super stock feature with Ken Eisbrenner and Adam Mass
in a dead heat for second.Adam Regnier back after being off was looking for space to move
up on these two. The pace was fearce, with Shane Sapp, Bob Moeller and Mike Gunderson
next.
Edwards was having his way up front all to himself,but the show for second had the crowd
going wild. Mass held on two laps, then Eisbrenner held it five, before Regnier inched his
way into the popular spot. But Gunderson was the quickest car on the track, securing third
on lap fifteen. Norman Paulsen and Brent Mason tangled on lap sixteen, an incident that
Edwards didnt want to see.
The next green gave Edwards only a quarter of a lap to hold the lead,as Gunderson moved by
and went on to a big margin win.Regnier claimed second, with fast qualifier Jack Rubach
next, followed by John Janssen, Edwards and Mass for a exciting contest.
