Badger Stockcar report by Joe Verdegan

(Luxemburg, WI)- The checkered flag has fallen on the 2013 season at Luxemburg Speedway. Fall Classic winner’s included Benji LaCrosse(Modifieds) Dustin Loberger(Badger Stockcar Tour) Andy Kleczka(Sportmods) Jerry Winkler(Street Stocks) and Scott Boulanger(Hobby Stocks)

Troy Jerovetz drew the lucky dog pole and started up front of the Modified feature. He led the opening lap before the 1st caution flag flew on lap 2. Benji LaCrosse darted into the 2nd spot and made his presence felt. He shot into the lead and took off from the field. Shawn Kilgore joined the fun by the final caution of the race on lap 10. LaCrosse would leave the duo to settle who would win the runner-up prize as LaCrosse decimated the field over the final 15 laps to pick up the winners check of $1,500. Jerovetz would win the race long battle over Kilgore for 2nd. Mike Mullen beat his dad Brian Mullen to the line for 4th.

Jarred VanLaanen used his outside pole starting spot to jump into the lead of the Sportmod main. Andy Kleczka would get the top spot the next lap only to see the caution flag fly handing the lead back to VanLaanen. Tracy Wassenberg joined the duo on the caution and flew into the lead down low on the restart. Wassenberg would hook up on the outside of the track and be well on his way to victory until a caution with 7 laps remaining put a halt to the win. On the restart, Wassenberg was on top and Kleczka timed the restart perfectly. Kleczka made the pass and would keep Wassenberg at bay to win the main event. Brian Bruechert charged through the field to finish 3rd. Troy DeGrave finished 4th with Josh Long 5th.

Shawn Haydon looked smooth early on in the Street Stock show. Haydon, Gary Kasperek and Jerry Winkler checked out from the field initially. With Kasperek and Haydon duking it out; Winkler tip toed on the bottom and made the 3 wide pass for the lead. A caution with 4 laps to go set up a final dash. Keith Kickbusch was able to make a run into 2nd but was only able to get to the back bumper of Winkler. Winkler picked up the W just ahead of Kickbusch. Jon Ashcraft stole 3rd place away from Kasperek late. Haydon wound up 5th.

Cody Junio and Derek Moede started up front in the Hobby Stock and stayed next to each other almost the whole feature. Junio led the opening lap with Derek Moede taking control on the next circuit. Scott Boulanger became involved on lap 6th and made a bid for the lead. Boulanger would keep his machine hooked up and drove into the lead and away from the field. Boulanger picked up the fall classic win. Junio won the battle for 2nd over Moede. Rob Waechter Jr and Sawyer Haese finished out the top 5.

Oconto’s Dustin Loberger shaded Union’s Troy Muench and Oconto’s Scott Stewart in the final laps and went on to win the caution free Badger Stock Tour feature presented by Kick Ass Drive Train & Iron Horse Recycling.

Loberger outraced polesitter Billy LeMieux at the drop of the green and immediately built up a four car length lead. As the laps went on Stewart, who is Loberger’s teammate, opted for the high line and pulled door-to-door alongside of Loberger on more than one occasion.

Meanwhile Muench, who started seventh, picked his way through the field by lap ten and grabbed third. Muench made it a three car tussle for the lead by the halfway point of lap 13.

The three raced hard right up the final checkers, with Loberger picking up the win. Muench nabbed second at the line over Stewart, who collected his second BST podium finish having won the BST opener at Seymour Speedway July 17. Current BST points leader “Hot Rod” Snellenberger of Pulaski took fourth. Green Bay’s John Heinz rounded out the top five and earned the hard charger award, battling his way into the big show by winning one of two last chance qualifiers.

A total of 42 BST stock cars checked in to compete at Luxemburg.

The season finale for the BST will be Saturday, October 5 during day 2 of 141 Speedways Creek Classic in Francis Creek.For more information please check out our page on Facebook, 141speedway.com or call (920) 676 5990 for further information.

(Luxemburg, WI)- Russ Scheffler has put a notch under his belt at Luxemburg Speedway. He picked up the $1000 payday with his win over Mitch McGrath.

Race of Champion Victors were Todd Dart(Modifieds) John Heinz(Stockcars) and Brian Bruechert(Sportmods)

Jeremy Cota led from the drop of the green flag in the Sportmod feature. He started on the pole and took off without looking back. Brian Bruechert charged to second and sat idle until a caution set up a 10 lap dash to victory. Cota worked into the lead comfortably again with Bruechert contending with Tracy Wassenberg for second. The duo would exchange the spot with Bruechert eventually winning it. Bruechert tracked down Cota and put the stronghold move on and into the lead. Bruechert would prevail and pick up the $350 1st prize. Wassenberg would sneak past Cota for second. Josh Long finished 4th..

Barry VanStraten worked from the pole and into the lead early in the Stockcar race of champions. Rod Snellenberger moved into the runner-up sport and put the pressure on. John Heinz used this to his advantage and tracked down the top pair. While Snellenberger moved into the lead Heinz quickly got underneath to make it 3 wide. Heinz made the pass into the lead with Snellenberger in tail. Snellenberger would test the back bumper of Heinz coming to the white flag. Troy Muench would make a run outside of Snellenberger. Heinz came around to the $350 victory with Muench claiming second. Snellenberger wound up third with VanStraten 4th.

Todd Dart and Mike Wedelstadt hooked up to make the Modified race of champions an exciting finish. Dart jumped out working the bottom with Wedelstadt way up top. Troy Jerovetz would run 3rd with Benji LaCrosse slicing his way to 4th. The top 4 would run in a pack. The final laps would see the same with Dart getting the advantage at the line. Coming to the checkers Dart found just enough to take the $500 win away from Wedelstadt by a bumper. Jerovetz beat LaCrosse to the line to finish 3rd.

To be a top finisher at Luxemburg you almost needed to be running a Wild inc. chassis. Ron Berna won his heat race and drew the top spot to bring the field to green for the WDLMA main event. Mitch McGrath looked strong and worked his way to second by the lap 5 caution. McGrath used the top of the track to squeeze around Berna and into the lead on lap 7. Russ Scheffler shot to the bottom of the track and battled with fellow number 74 for the lead. Scheffler grabbed the lead and eventually worked his way into lapped traffic. McGrath seemed to find his groove again and worked back up top and to the outside of Scheffler. Scheffler was able to gain some distance through the lapped traffic to win the main event. McGrath had to settle for second with fellow Wild inc. driver Rick Scheffler coming home 3rd. Tom Naeyaert finished 4th.

Tomorrow Night September 14th racing starts at 5 p.m.

(Luxemburg, WI – August 30, 2013) – Three track champions capped their title seasons with feature wins, highlighting racing action Friday night at the Luxemburg Speedway in Luxemburg.

Shawn Kilgore (IMCA Modifieds), Josh Long (IMCA Northern Sport Mods) and Keith Kickbusch (Street Stocks) all celebrated twice; as division champs and feature winners on the night. Joining the trio in victory lane were Barry Van Straten in the IMCA Stock Cars and Wes Salentine in the IMCA Hobby Stocks.

In the Modifieds, a late season Kilgore hot streak had propelled him to a 19 point edge on Todd Dart entering the night, meaning he just needed to avoid disaster to claim the title. The two were racing side by side in the early going as Tyler Hackett paced the field, when a sliding Scott Ratajczak brought out a caution on the 7th lap.

The restart opened the door for Kilgore to jump quickly into fifth. Four laps later he was fourth, chasing down Hackett, Kyle Kudick and Cory Cochart up front. In just two more laps he used the outside line to power around Hackett, then pull away to the uncontested win.

The victory capped a remarkable August for Kilgore that included three feature wins in the previous four races. Dart would settle for second in the season standings, racing up to a fourth place feature finish behind Kudick and Hackett.

Brandon Czarapata had the IMCA Stock Car title clinched entering the night, easing any championship pressure on the class.

Van Straten split the seams from his second row starting spot with a daring three-wide move to take the lead as the green flag flew. As Kyle Frederick and Dave DeGrave dueled back and forth for the runner-up spot behind him, Van Straten steadily pulled away to a comfortable advantage.

Shawn Havel eventually passed both Frederick and DeGrave with eight to go to claim second, but by that time, Van Straten’s lead was insurmountable. Late charges by Matt Junio and Rod Snellenberger netted the duo third and fourth place finishes respectively.

Long had the Sport Mod title in his pocket prior to the division’s feature, but ended his season in style with a late charge to the checker.

For most of the race, it appeared like the trophy would belong to either leader Andy Ratajczak, Brian Bruechert or Hunter Parsons who raced in a tight pack out front.

Long secured fourth with just six laps to go, and with time running out, chased down the lead threesome. In just two laps he grabbed third, then second from Bruechert one lap later.

With two to go, he powered to the inside of Ratajczak for the lead, then raced away to his third victory of the season.

If there was to be any championship drama on the night, it was up to the IMCA Hobby Stocks to provide it. Derek Moede entered the night with a slim two point margin on Dan VanPay, and only five on Sawyer Haese.

The feature proved to be a race within a race. As Cody Junio tried to fend off Salentine and Scott Boulanger for the win, VanPay and Moede diced their way through the field toward the front of the pack with the title on the line.

Salentine used the inside line to slip past Junio for the lead with five laps to go, but he couldn’t shake his pursuers.

On the final lap, the top four of Salentine, Boulanger, Junio and VanPay were in a tight pack with Moede close behind. It appeared like VanPay was destined to finish fourth, meaning he would lose the championship to Moede by a single point.

But heading to the checker out of the final corner, Junio slipped just high enough to open the inside groove for VanPay. Salentine crossed the line the winner, with Boulanger just behind him in second. VanPay and Junio headed for the stripe in a near dead-heat, with VanPay gaining the edge by a matter of inches as they crossed the line.

The point gained on the final pass meant that VanPay would earn two more than Moede in the event, leading to a tie for the Hobby Stock crown.

The Street Stock finale was somewhat less dramatic as Kickbusch had the crown won before the green flag flew. Set up on the outside of the second row on a restart on the seventh lap, he shot to the outside of leader Jason Kostichka to take the top spot. From there, it was Kickbusch on cruise control en route to his eighth feature win of the season.

Kostichka out-dueled Frank Dorn after a race-long battle to take the runner-up spot.

With the regular season in the books, the Speedway’s focus shifts to the annual Tisler Salvage Fall Classic slated for the weekend of September 13th and 14th. Friday night’s events include a full WDLMA Late Model program, as well as qualifiers for Modifieds, Stock Cars, Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks and Street Stocks. There will also be “Race of Champions” heats and features in three divisions.

Last chance qualifiers and features in the five divisions will be on Saturday. For more information, visit the track’s website at www.luxemburgspeedway.com.
