Busy week highlights
action at MHR!
By Janis Weigel
August 6, & August 11, 2000; Unity, WI. - The
Midwest Sprints made their second appearance at MHR last Sunday night, sponsored by K99
99.3 FM. Lloyd Dykstra's first career sprint car
feature win came after he lead the entire race and held off the fierce challenge of
another Waupun
driver, Andy Glewen. Super Stock driver #57 Paul Lieders finished out a spectacular
weekend
winning Friday and Sundays night feature races. # 40 Kevin Adams held off a late
challenge by Kirk
Bogdanovic for the feature win in the Street Stock division. This Friday
nights action was sponsored by WDEZ 101.9 FM.

Double Dipping! The
#80 WISSOTA Modified normally driven by Troy Kuyoth made a second appearance in victory
lane this evening as Paul Labbs took Kuyoth's car to victory in the Mechanic's Race and
ended up with a checkered flag in his hands. Earlier in the evening Kuyoth also
posted a victory winning the WISSOTA Modified main event. |
Eric Bolosky, Paul Erikson, Lonnie Leu and Eric Olson filled in the
top spots in the WISSOTA
Super Stock Feature. Leu set his sights on the front position and after eight laps
took over the lead with a low, hard charging corner one pass. As Leu widened his
lead, fifth row starter, Randy Spacek weaved his way into the fourth and began to
challenge Bolosky and Erikson and with
one quick move passed both for second with three laps remaining. Leu raced past the
checkered flag for the win with a substantial lead, Spacek second, Erikson third,
Bolosky dropped back as Jere Stanton finished in fourth and Paul Lieders took an
impressive fifth place finish after a twentieth position start.
| In the early going of the
WISSOTA Super Stock feature the action was at the front of the pack. Eric Bolosky
(#97) and Paul Erikson (#4) are side by side just before Lonnie Leu (#14) blasted by for
the lead and and eventually the win. |

Fifteen laps of caution free racing was held as the WISSOTA Street
Stocks put on an excellent
feature race. Brent Mindock held off Kevin Adams for the lead for five laps until Adams
used a low corner two dive to take over the front spot. With a fifth and sixth row
start, Chris Oertel and Rod Herman moved through the pack for third and fourth and chased
Mindock throughout the fast
paced race. Adams sailed past the finish line for the win, Mindock escaped a last
lap pass attempt by Oertel for second, Oertel third, Herman fourth and Jason Kellner
finishing in fifth.
| Better to be winning than wrenching!
Davey Sapiniski drove the #24 car of Butch Kummers in the WISSOTA Super
Stock Mechanics race and wound up in victory lane. |

Jack Larson held the lead in the WISSOTA Modified feature, followed
by Bob Sammann, Jerry
Weigel, Luke Schilling and Troy Kuyoth. Kuyoth used the high banked groove to his
advantage as he sailed into second with six laps completed. A caution in the next
lap tightened up the pack for the single rowrestart and Kuyoth once again used the outside
groove to take over the lead.
Weigel moved past Sammann for third in the eleventh lap and Butch Oertel
moved his way through traffic to fall in behind Sammann for fifth after a eighth row
starting position. Larson kept the battle alive with Kuyoth as he continued to race
hard using the low line. B Feature winner, Larry Kallenbach's night ended early when
he got into a loose spin in lap thirteen, collecting Luke Schilling with him.
Kallenbach was unable to continue. Seven laps of nonstop action was held to the
finish as Kuyoth continued to hold the lead, now using the inside groove. Oertel
slipped into fourth in lap sixteen and Jed Moore edged out Sammann for fifth with
one lap remaining. Kuyoth took
the win, Larson second, Weigel third, Oertel fourth and Moore in fifth.

Another fast car this
evening was the #16 A-Modified driven by Rob Genett who won his feature event and then
handed the wheel over to Scott Genett in the Mechanics race where another trip to victory
lane was made. |
Shane Halopka didn't get much of an opportunity to race in the A-Mod
feature, after his car motor
blew in the first lap. Rob Genett held the lead with continual pressure from Craig
Lieders throughout the race. Genett gave up the lead to Lieders for only one lap as they
passed the flagstand in lap five, but retreived the lead the next time around and never
looked back to take the win, Lieders second, Jeff Wilczek third, Brian Rodman fourth
and Luke Lobacz in fifth.

the car to victory lane after winning the Street Stock mechanics race. |
