Kuyoth Captures Three Features in
One Night, Adams Sweeps Supers at Monster Hall!
By Ben Brost
August 9, 2002; Unity, WI. - WDEZ 101.9, Baxter Speed
Shop, and Pro-Motor Sports brought in a great field of cars on Friday night at Monster
Hall Raceway, with 6 classes on the program card for the night.
The Midwest Mods came out on the track, with 13 in the field,
ready to do battle. At the drop of the green, it was #01 Al Seehafer at the helm, and the
lead was immediately overtaken by the #27 of Scott Anderson, who powered through the field
in the one - two corner, and coming out ahead on the backstretch. #3JR Shane Halopka tried
to follow suit and catch up to Anderson, but it wasn't enough as Anderson, once again,
came through with the win.
The Street Stocks saw #71R Rod Herman on the front row as the pacesetter. Herman jumped
out to an early lead, with a melee of cars fighting for position behind him. Moving up
fast on the inside was #00x Dan Gullickson, and right behind him the #33 of Mike Paul.
Hard charging Chris Oertel moved up to the high groove on the track, to overpower the
field, but couldn't get around enough cars to get to the front. The laps were winding
down, and Herman was still out front, with Gullickson approaching quickly. From there on
back the cars were battling for position, when a caution came out due to debris on the
track. The race was nearly over once the cars were lined back up again, with Gullickson
out front, and when the checkers flew, it was Gullickson who got credited with the win.
Next out were the Super Stocks, with national point leader #40 Kevin Adams in the house,
and longtime veteran #22 Randy Spacek strapped in to do battle as well. The field was
brought up to green flag speed, and charging through the field, #55s of Jere Stanton, who
came up with the lead, after a brilliant pass through turn 3. Stanton set a blistering
pace around the track, and was running away from the field. Adams, driving the wheels off
of his machine, worked his way up to second, and on a white flag lap pass through turn
two, it was #40 Kevin Adams who took home the checkers.
The Modifieds saw a great field of competition with over 20 in attendance. This race was
non stop action with #80 Troy Kuyoth coming through the pack, followed by #22 Jeff Spacek,
and #51 Butch Oertel in the top 3 spots. From about halfway on, it was all Kuyoth, taking
the Modified feature win by half of a straightaway, leaving the rest of the field in the
dust.
13 Late Models signed in on Friday night, upping the winners pay to $1000, which added an
extra incentive to all the drivers in the field. Again, setting a blistering pace in this
race was #80 Troy Kuyoth, who started on the point and drove off with the race, putting
cars a lap down, and making the Ford powered #80 fly around the 1/3 mile clay oval,
collecting both the regular and make up feature wins, and setting a record for Monster
Hall Raceway, winning 3 feature races in one night, a feat that has never been
accomplished before.
It was a great night of racing with a smooth, 3 groove track, and great weather offered a
great show to the fans at Monster Hall Raceway!
