Kuyoth Repeats in WISSOTA Late
Model Action, Specek tops Mods at Monster Hall!
By Ben Brost
May 24, 2002; Unity, WI. - - The fast moving action of
the 6 classes of racecars made for a great night of racing and a great kickoff to Memorial
Day Weekend at Monster Hall Raceway. Pepsi and Jim's Transmission sponsored the event,
allowing great racing to take place on the 1/3rd mile.
The Midwest Modifieds got the night off to a bang, with #01 Al
Seehafer and #27 Scott Anderson leading the pack to the green flag. Anderson jumped out to
an early lead, but was continually challenged by #34 Mickey Nosser, who made his season
debut in good fashion making several charges for the lead all throughout the race, but to
no avail. #01 Al Seehafer also gave Anderson a run for his money, but it was Anderson,
once again, earning the feature winner sticker.
The street stocks saw more action than ever Friday night, with 16 cars signed in to do
battle for the feature race. #27 John Becker and #8 John Goulden brought the field up to
speed, with #51 Chris Oertel and #5 Dan Brost vying for their positions from the start.
Becker jumped out to his lead, only to hold off charges from Oertel and Brost, until
Oertel ran into trouble after a caution, and was forced to pit during the yellow, losing
his spot. This still left the top five up for grabs, with #36 Dave Teatz now in the
frontrunners spot. Oertel got back on the track before the restart, and went from the back
of the pack, weaving in and out of traffic, having his eyes on the checkers. With 2 laps
left, he took the lead spot from Teatz, and took home the win.
The super stocks brought the thunder onto the high banks with #75 Scott Geiger and #17
Terry Gorst leading the charge. Gorst jumped out to a big lead for the first 7 laps, until
yellow flag conditions came onto the track. The green flag flew again, bringing the cars
back up to speed, with Gorst still in the lead. Paul Leiders in his chevy powered #57 came
onto the scene with authority, taking over the lead spot, and piloting his machine into
victory lane, taking the checkers.
The Modifieds put on a great race, with #22 Jeff Spacek, #80 Troy Kuyoth, and #17D Scott
Duval fighting for the front spot. Kuyoth worked the track on the low side, Spacek drove
on the high side, and Duval waited behind them to capitalize on their positions. But, the
nearly error free driving efforts Spacek and Kuyoth kept Duval in 3rd spot nearly the
entire race. In the end, it was Spacek fighting off both Kuyoth and Duval, giving him the
right to bring home the win.
