Kaukauna, Wis. (July 11, 1982) – Jim Sauter completed his blitz of Wisconsin short tracks by edging Joe Shear by less than two seconds to win the 70-lap feature of the Red, White, and Blue State Championship Series for late model stock cars Sunday afternoon at Wisconsin International Raceway.

It was Sauter’s fourth feature win of the week on Wisconsin ovals. He won Wednesday at La Crosse, Thursday at Kaukauna, and Friday at Madison.

“I believe it is the best week I’ve ever had, all in a string like that,” Sauter said.

Joel Laufer came off the front row to lead the first couple of laps until J.J. Smith slipped inside of Laufer and set the pace until the 11th lap when he pitted under caution with an overheating engine.

Dave Watson, the series point leader going into the race, grabbed second on lap 11 and inherited the lead when Smith pitted. Sauter quickly moved into second past Laufer on the 13th round.

Sauter sliced away at Watson’s four-car-length lead and moved up to his rear bumper when the caution flag flew on lap 19 when Gary Roehrborn blew his engine in his Firebird on the frontstretch.

Sauter flew past Watson with an outside pass on lap 23. Shear began his charge to the front on lap 24, taking fourth after Smith and Mike Melius tangled to bring out the caution flag.

Shear moved into third on the 28th round and moved into second by passing Tom Reffner on lap 29. Sauter and Shear gradually began to distance themselves from the rest of the pack and by the 40th lap, were running nose-to-tail, about a quarter of a lap ahead of the other drivers.

Shear was able to nose inside of Sauter several times but was never able to take command of the race.

Following Sauter and Shear to the checkered flag were Watson, Reffner, and Bob Iverson, a Michigan driver who posted his best finish ever in the series.

Shear broke Sauter’s one-lap qualifying record of 19.758 seconds with a lap of 19.649 seconds.

1970 – Tobias a USAC winner at Williams Grove

 

Dick Tobias 

Mechanicsburg, Penn. (July 11, 1970) – Dick (Toby) Tobias, Lebanon, Penn., made his return to the Williams Grove Speedway a most successful one.

The 1963-64 super modified champion at the Grove, came back as a member of USAC, and went out and scored his first feature win since joining the professional association earlier this season. Tobias' best finish before Saturday night's win was a fourth place.

Tobias, who posted the second best time of the night, started fifth in the 40-lap event, and was running fourth during the early stages of the event. Tobias improved his spot two positions when the two front runners - Larry Dickson and local star Bobbie Adamson - got together in the second turn on lap 13.

It took the Lebanon veteran seven laps to catch the hard running Greg Weld, who got the lead following the accident. But the Kansas City, Mo., pilot got a little out of shape in the fourth turn and that was all Tobias needed.

He pushed the Ruppert Chevy into the lead moving down the front stretch, and once in the lead, his knowledge of the track paid off, and at one point stretched his lead to a quarter of a lap over Weld.

Although it was Tobias' finest hour, it was Adamson who stole the spotlight.

The hard charger had fast time, won the first heat, moving away and was running second in the main event, when he struck Dickson, who got out of shape.

Adamson charged back from 20th spot and was in the third running position at the conclusion of the event. But due to a USAC ruling, which states that if a car needs the use of a push truck, the car and driver are one lap behind. Adamson, who was awarded eighth place, was greeted with a standing ovation, by the large crowd.

Weld was never challenged for the runner up honors, and Dickson, who was able to keep moving, despite his collision with Adamson, collected third-place money. Defending point champion, Gary Bettenhausen, was fourth and Rollie Beale, was a close fifth.

In addition to Adamson, other heat winners included: Dickson, Karl Busson, and Beale. Tobias won the semi-feature event.

Adamson's fast time was 25:05 seconds.

Due to the excellent fan support, promoter Jack Gunn was able to exceed the posted purse, and his payoff was in excess of $8,000.

1975 – Steuding Wins Late Model Invitational

 

Tom Steuding

Superior, Wis. (July 10, 1975) – Before a capacity crowd at Tri-State Speedway Thursday night, Tom Steuding of Altoona drove his 1973 Camaro to a 30-lap victory over Dave Bjorge of Austin, Minn., and Phil Prusak and Harold Mueller, both of Eau Claire in the annual Late Model Invitational. 

The feature was plagued by five restarts just on the first lap. Dave Morgan, Harold Mueller, Johnny Johnson, and John Jonesall seemed unable to make it around the track to complete the first lap. They all had trouble making the fourth turn, and with the big money at stake, stayed put until the red flag came out so they could restart in their original position.

Steuding took an early lead and held back the other top-four drivers for the entire 30 circuits. Phil Prusak passed Harold Mueller on the white flag lap to take over third place behind Dave Bjorge.

Bob Gherardi of Hibbing, Minn., drove his 1972 Monte Carlo to the top spot in the 15-lap semi-main, crossing the finish line a few feet ahead of Red Steffen and Joe Andrews.

Bjorge, Loren Pagel of Eveleth, Red Steffen of Eau Claire, and Brent Laursen of Cumberland were heat winners.

1967 – White Sets Record in Milwaukee 200 Win

Milwaukee, Wis. (July 9, 1967) – Don White isn’t one to hold a grudge, particularly after capturing first place and $7,075 with a split-second victory over Jack Bowsher in the 200-mile late model stock car race on Sunday.

But Bowsher bumped him, said White. “He shouldn’t race that way. It’s not sportsman-like,” White added. “He started chopping on me, banging on me. Maybe he would’ve won had he used his head instead.”

White, 41, who finished in a State Fair Park record time of 2 hours, 7 minutes, and 17.963 seconds, wheeled his Dodge Charger home less than a second before Bowsher to end a steel-nerved duel that began on the 184th lap.

The Keokuk, Iowa, driver’s average speed was 94.268 miles per hour – a new track record for 200 miles.

Norm Nelson of Racine, a winner over White at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday night, was third. Mario Andretti of Nazareth, Penn., whose Ford survived a spinout on the second lap, came back to finish fourth. Fifth place went to Al Unser of Albuquerque, N.M., in a Dodge Charger.

The lead changed hands five times in the last 16 miles as drivers fought for position on each and every turn.

Bowsher, 36, had some complaints of his own but didn’t freely air them, was all but even with White as both shot for the inside of the first turn on the last lap. White got there first and was in better position as the cars headed for slower traffic on the second turn.

There, Bowsher was forced to tap the brakes and for an instant, he slid. It was an instant he wouldn’t regain. He slid again near the wall on the final turn, but White was already home free.

“I hit the wall out there,” Bowsher said. “But I didn’t hit it all by myself.”

The Springfield, Ohio, driver, relatively new to the United State Auto Club stock car circuit, wasn’t about to get in a feud with the veteran White. “If he feels he won it because I bumped him, more power to him,” said Bowsher, who settled for $4,630 in second-place money. “He ought to win a bunch of races that way.”

A.J. Foyt of Houston, Tex., dropped out with engine problems after only 16 laps. Parnelli Jones of Torrance, Calif., remained in contention through 105 laps before engine problems sent him into the pits.

1978 - Krall, Knox Share Midway Downs Honors

Charles City, Iowa (July 8, 1978) – Mike Krall of Waterloo won the sportsman mid-season championship Saturday night at Midway Downs. Fuzzy Liddell of Cedar Falls crossed the finish line in second followed by Craig Haupt of Sumner.

The feature had to be stopped three different times due to accidents. The drivers had to take extra precautionary measures driving around the quarter-mile because of the small lake that had formed in the infield because of the high water.

The water made for a beautiful picture with cars reflections showing up on the backstretch. Fortunately, no one had a free Saturday night bath.

Bob Hesse of Waterloo scored his first win of the season by taking checkered in the first heat. Krall won the second heat.

The street stock mid-season championship went to Keith Knox of Claremont. The race was led by Jerry Oelrich of Fayette for the first 13 laps until he dropped out with mechanical problems. Wencie Baker of Shell Rock took over the lead until Knox got by her with only a couple of laps remaining.

Dave Swarts of Cedar Falls and Knox were street stock heat winners.

RIP - Tony Izzo Sr.

Tony Izzo of Bridgeview, Ill., died Sunday evening, July 5. He was a nine-time track champion at Santa Fe Speedway and an inductee of the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame.

He captured the prestigious National Clay Track Championship 200 three times and the Prairie Dirt Classic twice. On asphalt, he won the Tony Bettenhausen Memorial Classic at Illiana Motor Speedway in 1978.

A winner of more than 500 features on both dirt and asphalt, "Shaggy" was one of Chicagoland's best race car drivers.

 

1977 – Hansen, Shryock Win North Central Features

 

Bob Shryock

Des Moines, Iowa (July 7, 1977) – For an inaugural event, the North Central States Classic late model race featured a little bit of the old and a little bit of the new before a crowd of 3,500 at the State Fairgrounds on Tuesday night.

The old? Hansen, driving a 1972 Camaro, grabbed the lead on the back straightway of lap 9 and clipped Fred Horn of Marion to win the first 50-lap feature. It was Hansen’s third feature win of the season at the Fairgrounds.

Then there was unheralded Bob Shryock of Estherville, driving a 1977 Camaro, edging old nemesis Ed Sanger of Waterloo to cop top honors in the second 50-lap feature.

Hansen, who also captured the 4-lap trophy dash involving the top-four fastest cars from time trials, pocketed $1,250 for his night’s work.

Shryock got a little help by starting on the pole position for the second feature by virtue of inverting the finish of the first race. Shryock, a machine operator, finishes 21st in the first feature, leaving the race with engine problems on the 44th lap.

Horn, wheeling a 1977 Camaro, held the lead for the first nine laps in the first feature but fell behind when Hansen went high in the second turn of the ninth lap. From there, it was a two-man fight as the duo led the rest of the pack by 150 yards in the race, marred by four yellow flags.

“If it wasn’t for those restarts, I would have won the race,” said Horn, who came back and finished seventh in the second race.

Hansen agreed. “Those restarts saved my life,” said the Dike resident. “They allowed my tires to cool. Everyone thought they had to stay inside to pass Fred, but the outside was better tonight.”

It was Shryock’s first victory in five years of racing at the Fairgrounds.

“You don’t know how much a victory like this means to me,” Shryock said from victory lane. “I’ve waited too long for this. And what make this victory sweeter is I beat Ed.”

“A driver always sets goals on who he wants to beat, and Ed has been on my list a long time. I had never beaten him until tonight.”

Shryock took the lead on the 10th lap from Tom Hearst of Wilton and was in command the rest of the way. Hearst continued to run second until he pulled into the pits on the 33rd lap with mechanical problems. That allowed Sanger, who had been running third, to take up chase and he gave Shryock all the trouble he needed as the duo were bumper-to-bumper the last few laps to the checkers.

Sanger’s brother Karl won the first 20-lap consolation and Tom Bartholomew of Waterloo captured the second consolation race.

1974 – Osborne Captures Penn National USAC Sprint

Lebanon, Penn. (July 7, 1974) – Lee Osborne highlighted a full weekend of auto racing with an easy victory in the 40-lap United States Auto Club sprint car chase held at Penn National Speedway on Sunday evening.

After roaring to the fastest time in qualifying and a third-place finish at Williams Grove on Saturday night, Osborne returned to his hometown track and routinely packed away his second USAC victory of the season. His initial taste of victory came at Reading earlier in the season.

In no nonsense fashion, Osborne steered his Stauffer Construction Special down the center of the track and watched as each of his toughest competitors dropped out of the race.

Osborne started alongside local favorite Kramer Williamson but charged into the lead on the first turn. George Snider, who established a new track record in qualifying with a time of 24.01 seconds, hotly pursed “Ozzie” until a pileup on lap 14 knocked Snider out of the race and sent Williamson to the back of the pack.

Big time Jan Opperman moved into second place only to drop out five laps later with mechanical difficulties, and then Billy Cassella moved into the runner-up position, only to exit on lap 31 with a blown engine.

Tom Bigelow and Bill Puterbaugh began the battle for second place, but both were nearly five seconds behind a streaking Osborne.

Bigelow grabbed the runner-up spot on the last lap, followed by Puterbaugh, Bruce Walkup and Chuck Gurney.

Snider’s one-lap record broke the old mark of 24.68 seconds set by Larry Dickson two years ago.

Heat winners were Williams, Cassella, and Roger Larson with Osborne also winning the semi-feature.

1986 – It’s Miller in Miller

West Allis, Wis. (July 6, 1986) - Butch Miller has taken the lead in the American Speed Association series standings by winning what he calls one of the two most important stock-car races on the ASA Racing Series circuit.

Miller, of Lawton, Mich., overcame NASCAR veteran Bobby Allison to win the Miller 200-mile race Sunday at State Fair Park.

The lead changed 12 times among seven drivers. Harold Fair, who started in the pole position, fell behind because of several problems, including a flat tire.

Meanwhile, Joe Shear of Beloit, Wis., went on to finish third. Tom Jones of Northbrook, Ill., was fourth. Fair, Livonia, Mich., was fifth.

As for Shear, it was his first ASA competition of the summer, and he was happy with the results.

“I wasn’t that fast, but I ran consistently all day,” Shear said “I would have liked to have run with the leaders, but the car wasn’t handling that well. I just watched the drivers in front of me drop out and pretty soon I was in third place.”

On the other hand, Alan Kulwicki of Greenfield, Wis., started 10th and got as far as sixth before he was eliminated on the 91st lap by a collision with Bob Senneker of Dorr, Mich.

Miller lost his third gear. He battled Allison, nevertheless, taking the lead for good on the 175th lap.

His victory by 1.5 seconds ahead of Allison was his first on the mile track at State Fair Park. He averaged 84.260 miles an hour.

“I thought I had a good shot at winning it. I really did,” said Allison, the winner here in 1978. “I saw that he (Miller) was running awfully good, but I was hoping that he’d make that one mistake in his 10 years.”

However, Miller made it a mistake-free day in earning his $8,990 check. Still, he was concerned - especially when a caution flag was dropped on lap 179, which was four laps after he had taken the lead.

“I expected (Allison) to blow by at the restart,” Miller said, “but he didn’t. After that, I was worried about getting as much distance between myself and him, just in case something would happen.”

After it was over, Miller ranked the race in equal importance to the event at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich.

“I would have traded a lot of ARTGO and other wins to win this one,” Miller said. “I guess what I ’m saying is that, if you’re looking for position on ASA, it ranks right with Michigan.”

Superior, Wis. (July 6, 1973) – Harold Mueller of Eau Claire drove his 1973 Chevy Laguna to the top spot of the biggest late model feature of the season Friday night at Tri-State Speedway.

A crowd of over 2,500 were on hand to see Mueller win his fourth Late Model Invitational in six years. His previous wins had come in 1968, 1970, and 1971. The tall fellow was all smiles as he received his trophy from Miss Speedway, Angie Benjamin.

Tom Nesbitt of Thunder Bay, Ont., finished second in his 1972 Chevy Nova while Dave Bjorge of Austin, Minn., crossed the finish line right behind Nesbitt piloting a 1972 Monte Carlo.

Among those unable to finish the 40-lap main event were Phil Prusak, Bob Root, John Aase, Andy Riordan, Red Steffen, and Jerry Amundson.

Roger Guldan of Marshfield won the 15-lap semi-main behind the wheel of his 1968 Chevelle.

Heat winners were Jim Eliason of Duluth, Minn., Dave Morgan of Rice Lake, Bjorge, and Lou Rigney of Thunder Bay, Ont.

1987 - Dolan Takes Dubuque 'Winston Classic'

 

Roger Dolan won the fifth annual Winston Classic at the Dubuque County Speedway.

Dubuque, Iowa (July 5, 1987) – Heavily-favored Roger Dolan of Lisbon didn’t disappoint his followers Sunday, as he posted the victory in the fifth annual Winston Classic at the Dubuque County Speedway.

At the drop of the green, Curt Martin of Independence, zoomed into a substantial lead with Ron Boyse of Kalona and Dale Fischlein of Independence in hot pursuit.

Driving the low groove, Dolan overtook Martin on the 24th lap. The only yellow flag of the race came out eight laps later when Martin suffered a blown engine.

Dolan nailed the restart, pulling away to a comfortable lead and sailing to victory. Rick Wendling of Hazelton finished second followed by defending and two-time Winston Classic champion Gary Tigges of Durango, Jeff Aikey of Cedar Falls, and Gary Crawford of Independence.

Roger Bruggeman of Dubuque claimed his first modified feature win of the season, out-running the 18-car field. He was pressed by point leader Greg Kastli of Waterloo until his distributor broke with seven laps remaining.

Mark Kohn survived numerous restarts to win the modified street stock feature.

1974 - 7,500 See Eaker Stay Low, Win Late Model Race

 

Cedar Rapids, Iowa (July 5, 1974) - Verlin Eaker slammed his 1972 Nova into the first turn, forcing three-abreast racing action on the first lap of the 25-lap late-model stock car feature Friday night at Hawkeye Downs.

It was a calculated move by the Cedar Rapids chauffeur before an estimated 7,500 All-Iowa fairgoers and it paid off handsomely. Eaker, who started the feature on the inside of the second row, continued on to set the pace the full distance.

“I was hoping I could stick down below and that the first row (Fred Horn and Ed Sanger) would go high,” Eaker said with a wry smile.

“That’s the nice thing about starting where I did - you can try something. But you’re almost afraid to try anything when you’re in the lead.”

Eaker stayed with the low groove for the most part and was chased by both Sanger and Curt Hansen. That was a battle, also, with the runner-up spot taking a switch on the 11th and 12th tours before Sanger settled down.

Sanger tried Eaker both high and low several times but couldn’t quite get the jo done and had to settle for second place by about five car lengths.

‘‘I don't think I could have won by staying high,” Eaker admitted. “I could run about anywhere, but the low side worked best for me.”

“I got a better bite on the inside coming out of the turns running about half throttle.”

Verlin, who posted his first feature triumph at the Downs since winning the Iowa Challenge Cup a month ago, also said he felt running the third heat (which he won) proved to be an advantage.

‘‘That gave me a good idea of what the track would be like in the feature,” he said.

Hansen, who captured last week’s Fair opener, took third, with Bill Zwanziger and Roger Dolan rounding out the top five.

Sanger and Horn also claimed heat victories. Horn’s win was the night’s thriller.

Fred and Hansen were in a wheel-to-wheel duel for the last three laps, with Zwanziger pushing the last two laps in the 10-lapper. It was; indeed, a blanket finish and the near-capacity crowd let its approval be known.

The semi went to Don Hoffman.

1987 – Farren Tops IMCA National at Boone

 

Boone, Iowa (July 4, 1987) – Dave Farren of Des Moines, the 1986 track champion at Boone Speedway, moved from his seventh starting position to the lead in only three laps, then held off the field to win the IMCA Modified National Series feature at Boone Speedway.

Farren, who was the 1986 IMCA modified national champion, held off a late charge by Denny Pittman of Jefferson for the win. Jack Miles of Des Moines, Kevin Tasler of Jefferson, and Larry Grafton of Des Moines rounded out the top-five.

Miles led the first lap and Tasler the second lap before Farren took command. Pittman started ninth, moved up towards the front, before coming on strong near the end of the 30-lapper to gain runner-up honors.

In companion events, Greg DeFrance of Marshalltown won the IMCA stock car feature, Bob Richardson of Perry won the thunder car feature, and Mike Shranklen of Huxley won the street stock feature.

1976 – Young Snaps Schuler’s Streak at Grundy

 

Ray Young

Morris, Ill. (July 4, 1976) – Ray Young snapped Larry Schuler’s string of feature wins at seven Sunday afternoon at the Grundy County Speedway, defeating him by six-car-lengths in the 25-lap event.

Young, driving the same car he drove to victory in the CAM2 Classic on May 9, took the lead from Jerry Kemperman on lap 7 after a second lap tangle had bent plenty of sheet metal on both cars.

Young quickly extended his lead while Schuler was busy working his way through traffic, finally inching his way into second place with six laps to go.

Once in second, however, Schuler was unable to close the margin significantly on Young and settled for runner-up honors. Kemperman took third-place money followed by Bob Dotter and John McPartlin.

The heat races and consolation for late models provided plenty of excitement. Terry Hapke nailed the homestretch wall in the final lap of the second heat, ripping the right front tire completely off. He was not hurt but the car was eliminated. In the consolation, Steve Seligman made a last dash effort to get by leader Hal Davis for the checkered and slid head-on into the pit wall.

Tim Nanzer of Oswego took the lead from George Boswell to win the accident-spiced hobby stock feature.

1969 - Sanger Halts Hansen's Skein at Tunis

 

Ed Sanger

By Bob Dixon

Waterloo, Iowa (July 4, 1969) – After watching his brother Karl score his first feature win of the season Friday afternoon at Independence, Ed Sanger decided it was his turn and won the late model feature that same evening at Tunis Speedway.

Beside pocketing $500 for the victory, the Waterloo driver halted Curt Hansen’s three-week winning streak. But his victory did not come easy.

Time trials determined feature starting positions with sixth-fastest qualifier Bill Bartelmes of Troy Mills starting on the pole. Bartelmes took an early lead with Sanger right behind. When Sanger made his move on the inside for the lead, fast qualifier Curt Hansen of Dike slipped inside also, and stayed on his heels.

Sanger was up to the task, however, and held off the determined Hansen to score the feature win. Dave Bedard of La Porte City would finish third with Karl Sanger fourth and Barthelmes sliding back to fifth.

Roger Kruse of Independence grabbed a long-awaited checkered flag in the B-main ahead of Stan Stover, of Reinbeck and Claus Stricker of Waterloo.

Waterloo’s Larry Palmer continued his season-long domination of the novice class, as the first year driver won his third straight feature.

1965 – Nelson Rolls Towards Title with 100-Lap Illiana Win

Schererville, Ind. (July 4, 1965) – Norm Nelson of Racine, Wis., continued his drive for his second United States Auto Club late model stock car national championship by winning the 100-lap feature here on the half-mile paved banks of Illiana Speedway on Sunday afternoon.

The “Great Dane” was the complete master of the field. He set the fastest qualifying time, then tore into the lead at the start of the main event and won the race going away.

Nelson, who scored his 18th career USAC stock car win, never looked better. His 1965 Plymouth, tuned to razor sharp performance by Jerry Kulwicki and the Nelson crew, dusted off his competitors with relative ease.

Bobby Isaac, Catawba, S.C., winner of the 100-lap stock car race here on May 23 when he sailed past Nelson midway in the race, settled for runner-up honors. The talented southern star drove a 1964 Dodge prepared by Ray Nichels of Highland, Ind.

Third place went to Jim Hurtubise of North Tonawanda, N.Y., who was in a second 1965 Plymouth entered by Nelson. It was good to see Hurtubise finish the race up near the front. After recent mishaps, the third-place finish just might be the shot in the arm the likeable driver needs to come up with a maximum effort in the Milwaukee 200-miler next weekend.

Although he wasn’t there, Chrysler Corp.’s Ronnie Householder must have been all smiles when he heard of the clean sweep of the Plymouth and Dodge entries. The crowd was estimated at more than 8,000.

Nelson indicated after the race that while it was a fast race, his mount handled beautifully, and he set the pace pretty much as he wished. But he also remarked that Isaac would have to be ruled as a prime favorite in the big race at Milwaukee this Sunday.

1958 – 5,000 Watch Burdick Win – But Which Burdick?

 

Des Moines, Iowa (July 4, 1958) – Who drove the 1957 Ford #99 which ran away from the field of 20 starters in the 25-lap feature before more than 5,000 fans at Pioneer Raceway on Friday night?

An International Motor Contest Association representative, Wilbur Clark – who handles publicity for IMCA promoter Al Sweeney – said it was Bob Burdick of Omaha, who is currently third in points in the IMCA stock car division standings.

The car was officially entered under the name of Roy Burdick, father of Bob, and a part-owner who stepped up to the microphone to accept the trophy after the opening 5-laap trophy dash.

However, the elder Burdick was attired in a quartered-length t-shirt whereas the driver of the #99 wore a shirt without sleeves.

“I drove it,” the senior Burdick tartly replied to Clark, who said, “I thought Bob promised (Al) Sweeney he wasn’t going to drive tonight!”

Earlier in the day, Sweeney announced through Clark that both Burdick and Johnny Beauchamp of Harlan, who raced under assumed names in two meets earlier, had promised to abide by IMCA rules.

The two drivers faced possible $100 fines for alleged violation of a rule forbidding competition in races not sanctioned by the IMCA.

“A second violation results in a year’s suspension,” Clark revealed as he watched Friday’s races, which attracted an overflow throng.

Four other drivers in the field were using assumed names as well, according to Pioneer Raceway officials.

The “Jimmy Hughes of Des Moines,” who placed second in the A feature was identified as Newt Bartholomew of Carlisle, Iowa.

“Curly McCord of Detroit, Mich.,” officially listed as finishing fourth in the feature was Lloyd Jorgenson of Anita, Iowa.

Sixth place “Jerry Rogers of St. Paul, Minn.,” was Bob Short of Des Moines.

The fourth, Kenny Schultz of Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., compete under the name “John Lutz” of the same town. He won the second heat and placed sixth in the B feature.

Burdick was easily the star of the night, winning the time trials and the pole position in the feature, plus the trophy dash and one of the 7-lap heat races.

“There wasn’t much doubt as to who the ‘local boys’ were when the big circuit boys started rolling,” said one observer.

1988 – Wolfgang Takes Black Hills Checkers

 

Rapid City, S.D. (July 3, 1988) – Doug Wolfgang, who is rarely seen around his South Dakota home during racing season, put on a show for his home-state fans when the World of Outlaws visited Black Hills Speedway on Sunday night.

“Wolfie,” who started on the front row alongside Black Hills track record breaker Sammy Swindell, passed Swindell on the back straightaway on lap 21, then ran away from the 24-car field for his fifth World of Outlaws victory this season.

Swindell, who finished fourth, ran in second as late as the 25th circuit.

The two-time World of Outlaws champion was passed by Steve Kinser and Bobby Davis Jr. in the last five laps.

Kinser, whose winning streak was stopped at three, was in turn four when Wolfgang was taking the checkered flag.

Ten drivers bettered the Black Hills track record that Kinser set two years ago – 16.43 seconds – but the quickest time belonged to Swindell with a time of 16.141 seconds.

Danny Smith, Johnny Herrera, Andy Hillenburg, and Jeff Swindell were heat winners. Swindell won the fast dash, and Tim Monson won the B-feature.

Kasson, Minn. (July 3, 1986) – Rick Egersdorf, from North St. Paul, led wire-to-wire, holding off several serious challenges from Lance Matthees of Winona to win the 50-lap main event in the annual Thunderbird Open at Dodge County Fairgrounds.

Egersdorf took the lead at the drop of the green flag, but it took Matthees only a few laps to move into second and start challenging Egersdorf.

Matthees gave Egersdorf all he could handle, and actually got by Egersdorf momentarily, but couldn’t make the pass stick.

Egersdorf took home $1,500 for the win plus another $500 in lap money for leading the entire way.

Egersdorf also won his heat race while Ron Schriener of Eleva, Wis., was the other heat winner. Terry Lanphear of St. Paul won the consolation.

In preliminary action, Darrell Zweifel of Rochester held off Dave Tradup of Elgin to win his first hobby stock feature of the season.

Gene Schattschneider

Webster City, Iowa (July 3, 1968) – Gene Schattschneider of Algona made a shambles of the competition on the Hamilton County Fairgrounds’ half-mile oval Wednesday night.

The popular veteran recorded fast time in qualifying, snagged the trophy dash, won his heat, then climaxed his stellar performance with a triumph in the 20-lap feature.

Del Stokke of Ames finished second to Schattschneider in the feature.

Heat winners were Danny Rueth of Ames, Schattschneider, and Dick Simpson of Algona.

Wisconsin Dells, Wis. (July 2, 1988) – Rookie Steve Carlson claimed the overall victory in Saturday night’s ARTGO Challenge Series Escape to Wisconsin Twin-76’s late model event at Dells Motor Speedway. He scored two runner-up finishes, finishing second to Dick Trickle in the first 76-lap feature, and following the victorious Steve Holzhausen in the second 76-lapper.

Trickle took the lead from Carlson on the 36th lap and then held on to take the win in the first feature. But Trickle lost a lap in the nightcap due to a flat tire.

The second feature saw Steve Holzhausen score his second ARTGO win of the season as he moved into the lead on the 29th circuit, then pulled away to a comfortable win.

Holzhausen recovered from an unscheduled pit stop in the first race to finish sixth. Fast qualifier Butch Miller had the wrong combination for the main events and finished fifth in both races.

Tom Carlson took the lead in the first feature and looked to be headed for his first ARTGO win as his brother and Trickle fought side-by-side for second. Then, on the 31st lap, Carlson suddenly slowed with a broken rocker arm.

When the dust cleared, it was Steve Carlson out front, Trickle in second, and Tom Carlson limping to the pits.

Trickle would take the top spot five laps later and chalk up his second ARTGO triumph of the season. Steve Carlson was second, in front of Jim Weber, Doug Herbst, and Miller.

Ed Holmes grabbed the lead at the start of he second feature. He held on to the top spot until lap 6 when Scott Hansen pulled in front. Holzhausen would grab the top spot on lap 29 and was never challenged thereafter.

Weber, who had pitted for a new coil wire earlier, charged back through the field to finish third behind Holzhausen and Carlson, and second overall. Tom Carlson and Miller rounded out the top-five.

1989 – Steve Kosiski Takes All-Star Tour Win

 

Steve Kosiski 

Jefferson, S.D. (July 1, 1989) – Steve Kosiski overtook his brother Joe for the lead on lap 36 and held on to win Saturday’s NASCAR Busch All-Star Tour 50-lap feature before a capacity crowd at Park Jefferson International Speedway.

The Omaha, Neb., veteran captured his third Busch Tour win of the season and earned him $3,000.

The Kosiski’s and Oxford, Iowa’s Steve Boley staged a furious battle for the top spot in the early going.

Boley sped to the lead and waged a tight battle for the top spot with Davenport’s Rollie Frink for the first 16 laps around the beautiful 4/9-mile dirt oval. The Kosiski’s, who started alongside each other in the third row, moved their way through the field and mounted a challenge that saw them and Boley get together in turn four.

As the crowd came to its feet, Joe Kosiski came out of the scuffle with the advantage as Boley and Steve Kosiski fought for second. Steve began to pull away from Boley and chased down Joe on lap 30. The fierce sibling rivalry continued for the next six laps as the two former tour champions swapped the lead several times and raced side-by-side, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Steve finally overhauled Joe on lap 36 and stayed in front the rest of the way. Joe settled for runner-up honors and was followed by Frink, Boley, and Johnny Saathoff of Beatrice, Neb.

Joe Kosiski was fast timer with a qualifying run of 16.60 seconds. Boley won the “Race of Champions” while Craig Jacobs and Boley won 20-qualifying features.

Dayton, Ohio (July 1, 1979) – Rich Vogler led early and late en route to winning Sunday afternoon’s United States Auto Club (USAC) sprint car feature at Dayton Speedway.

It was the first sprint car feature victory of the year for Vogler, who was the club’s 1978 midget driving title winner.

Vogler grabbed the lead at the outset of the race but was supplanted in the top spot by Tom Bigelow on the fourth go-round. Bigelow, the winner of the division’s 40-lap main on this half-mile paved oval last May 28, then led for 28 circuits before Vogler took over again.

This time Vogler didn’t relinquish the top spot, and he went on to take the checkered flag in front of Jeff Bloom, Greg Leffler, Pancho Carter, Sheldon Kinser and Gary Bettenhausen.

Steve Chassey was unbeatable in the early stages of the show, setting fast time with a 16.06 second time trial lap and then capturing the first heat. Carter, his younger brother, Dana Carter, and Chuck Gurney won the other heats, and Bubby Jones took the semi-feature.

Although Jones won the semi-feature, he finished last in the 20-car field in the main event and saw his point lead shaved to eight markers over runner-up Pancho Carter. Bigelow, who ranks third on the point list, is only an additional 11 points behind Carter, after coming in eighth in Sunday’s headliner.

1951 – Derr Takes 125-Miler at Des Moines

Des Moines, Iowa (July 1, 1951) – Taking the lead with 25 laps to go, Ernie Derr, the 29-year-old parts manager from Keokuk, Iowa, grabbed the 125-mile International Motor Contest Association stock car contest at the Iowa State Fairgrounds Sunday before 16,000 spectators.

The dapper Derr, who commutes between his home in Fort Madison and his work in Keokuk, was clocked in 2 hours, 28 minutes, and 58.11 seconds, driving a 1950 Mercury he has owned for only 6 months.

The World War II veteran who finished third in the July 4 race here a year ago, beat Don White by a full lap and in addition to the $500 for the win, hauled down another $50 in lap money.

White, the Keokuk army corporal who drove a 1949 Ford on a weekend pass from Camp McCoy, Wis., won the 100-mile feature here last July.

Chris Skadal, who has been a consistent winner this summer at area tracks such as Kessell Speedway, finished third, three laps behind the winner.

Skadal, driving a 1950 Oldsmobile owned by professional driver Frank Luptow, lost too much time in the pits on a tire change and was never able to get back into contention.

The Des Moines pilot turned in the fastest time during qualifying with a time of 32.28 seconds.

Derr, who acquired the racing bug only two years ago at a race in Davenport, didn’t make a stop along the way, taking the lead from “Wild” Bill Harrison of Topeka, Kan., a recent winner at Mason City, on the 207th lap.

Earlier, Harrison pushed his 1950 Plymouth into the lead when Skadal, the fan favorite, was forced to pit for a tire change and gasoline after leading by nearly a full lap.

Skadal earned $150 in lap money in addition to the $300 for his third-place finish, making him one of the big cash winners of the National Speedways-promoted event. The top 14 positions in the race paid money.
