West Salem,
Wis. (April 18, 1992) – The early season dominance continued in 1992 as Dwain
Behrens slid inside of Shawn Pfaff on lap 22 of the NASCAR late model feature
and took the opening win of the Winston Racing Series at the La Crosse
Fairgrounds Speedway.
Last season,
Ted Smokestad took the opening win at La Crosse as several Minnesota drivers
took the long drive from the Twin Cities for opening night and Behrens
duplicated that this year.
Mike Tuma
led from the pole position for the first 11 circuits before Pfaff completed his
hard-charging drive from the back of the pack to take the lead. Pfaff pulled
away for several laps, before Behrens made his way through the field and
started closing the gap on Pfaff.
Behrens
nearly made the pass on lap 17, but the third yellow of the race came out when
Smokestad spun and hit the wall in turn two. Four lap later Behrens took the
inside lane on turn one and two and made the pass for the win.
