feature races that went non stop.Twelve year old Kyle Jusits of Kenosha won his first
career 15 lap feature race in the INEX bandolero cars. Sixty three year Tom Ross of
Northbrook,IL. won the 15 lap Midwest sport truck feature. Ernie Schaal of Wauconda,IL.won
his fourth 15 lap feature in the Perfection Auto Body INEX legends.
Roadrunner driver Duane Lounsbuny of Beloit won his first career
feature in the brand new weapons division for their 15 lap feature and Steve Doherty of
Woodstock,IL. had a clean sweep in the Double R towing Basic International cars, by taking
fast time, winning the dash and the non stop 15 lap feature race. Over 100 race cars
participated in tonight' show.
Hermann Greinig in his first appearance of the season slipped in front of the legends
feature, with Tom Palma, visiting Ryan Ellis and Ernie Schaal tight on the leader. The
field remained close, but Schaal was able to advance to second by lap five, then in front
one lap later. Quickly Eric Lokemoen followed the new leader with Sonny Schoffen in the
Don Schaal race car right on Palma’s back side. With just five laps to go fast timer
Curt Gnatzig who battled with Schoffen for a few laps took over third, with Michael
Bilderback now working on Schoffen. The final five laps were picture perfect, as Schaal
held back Lokemoen for the win, followed by Gnatzig, Bilderback and Schoffen under a
blanket.
It took Neal Gillentine until the final lap nipping Grant Greenfield at the line by just a
few inches to the delight of the crowd. DeRon DeBoer was third, with Vern Brown at
his side for fourth and Kai McNulty in the middle for another great feature finish in the
Formula Indy cars.
The bandolero feature got off to a rocky start as Andy Luebke only in his third night of
racing led the opening lap, but spun in turn four in front of the field. This set up a
situation that sent Branden Allen flying over the hood of Tyler Blume before both
slid up to the wall..No one was injured and everyone returned before the next green,
despite a bent axle on Blume’s car. Kyle Palma moved in front as the next green came
out,remaining the leader until the final lap. Earlier Collin Laursen who took fast time
challenged the leader from lap five until lap nine, before retiring to the pits with
problems. Kyle Jusits took over the challenge as he pulled inside the leader. Palmawas up
for the challenge, but then the white flag came out and it was a dead heat for the lead
until the race to the wire. Jusits was just in front for his first win, as Palma was
second,Hope Bidlack was third,with Allen recovering for fourth and Luebke in his best
finish to date claiming fifth.
It took Steve Doherty fourteen laps to catch Jason Spittle and come home the winner.
Spittle settled for second, with Bob Koch third, Jack Rabey was fourth and Tom Homan was
fifth in the non BIC feature.
The regular family fun night will be off one week. Next Friday night the regular Saturday
night moves back one night due to the Auto zone NASCAR touring elite show. On Friday night
the Budweiser super late models, the Performance Unlimited
sportsman, BIC cars, Lusia’s pizzeria mini modifieds and Midwest sport trucks will be
