By Ben Brost
July 5, 2002; Unity, WI. - WIFC 95.5 Carquest, and Frohn'
s Audio Outlet brought 6 classes of racing to Monster Hall Raceway on Friday night. Eighty
nine cars were greeted by warm weather, a smooth track, and a strong crowd in the stands.
The Midwest Modifieds were the first out on the high banks,
with #01 Al Seehafer on the point, and #2m Mike Molitor closing out row one. Seehafer
tried to run away and hide out front for the first part of the feature, leaving the rest
of the pack fighting for position. Moving quickly through the field was #34 Mickey Nosser,
as well as #27 Scott Anderson, which made for interesting 3 wide battles in the corners.
#3JR Shane Halopka experienced some troubles earlier in the evening, but had a strong
showing finishing fourth, but in the end, it was #01 Al Seehafer coming through with the
win.
The Street Stocks were up next, with a strong field of cars in the midst. The almost gone,
not quite forgotten name of Lindner was revived with #3 Jared on the pole, next to him, a
brand new name of Dan Gullickson from Stacy Minnesota made row one. Behind them, Ken Heser
in his #35 machine started in row two, and held his position looking to gain.
Lindner and Heser both had great runs, Lindner holding onto both
first and second for the majority of the race, until mechanical trouble struck his machine
and he had to pull off, and Heser also had problems which brought his night to an early
close. #36 Dave Teatz could drive his car anywhere on the track, moving into second place,
and staying there, with Mike Paul in his #33 consistently knocking on Teatz's door. In the
end, it was Dan Gullickson who took home the checkers, with Teatz in second, and Paul in
third.
The Super Stocks were out next, with veteran #27 Mark Stender on the pole, and #97 Eric
Bolosky outside of him. Stender piloted his machine out to a lead, but after starting in
3rd, #40 Kevin Adams brought his machine next to Stender's, and then took over the lead
with ease, leaving Stender in the dust. Coming on strong was #22 Randy Spacek, after
starting in 5th, battling up to the front, and ending up in second.
Then, on lap 7, #46 Shannon Williams came out of corner 4 a little
too low, caught the retaining tire, and barrel rolled twice through the infield before
landing on his wheels out of corner four. #8s Kevin Sonnentag, after starting in 8th,
worked his way up through the field, and ended up finishing fourth, but the story of the
evening was Adams coming through with the win, and adding to his record feature wins at
Monster Hall Raceway, with 60 under his belt.
The Modifieds were out next, with several drivers having great runs, and after winning his
heat, #33 Jed Moore brought his car out on the pole, and advanced on the field, holding a
steady 4 -5 car length lead over the rest of the pack. Behind him, cars were left in the
dust to fight over positions, with #25 Dan Konrardy holding strong to his position, as
well as #40 Paul Knauf. #22 Jeff Spacek brought the heat moving up the field quickly,
looking to challenge for the lead, but there was no stopping Moore in his #33, who ended
up in the winner's circle for the second time this season.
The main event, the Late Models came on the track next, with #15 Nick Anvelink on the
outside front row, and to his inside, #31 Steve Kuester. Also in the house was Wissota
Late Model national points leader #42 Terry Casey, who started in third, and looked strong
all night. Moving up the field, after starting in 8th, moved up to third, and trying to
move up the field, but there was no stopping #15 Anvelink, who came through with the win,
#31 Kuester coming in second, and #19 Brust coming in third.
This Friday night, July 12th, is kids night. There will be bike races (kids 2 - 12 years
old) during intermission and driver autographs. Kids remember to bring your bike and
helmet.
