By Dave Panske

June 11, 2000; Seymour, WI - What started out as a nice day, turned sour close to race time with a strong north west wind that chilled everything Sunday night at the Seymour Tri-Oval Raceway.

Pete Parker scores 100th career feature win at Seymour Tri-Oval
	A mark which may never be broken!   Pete Parker (#10) earned his 100th career Late Model victory at Seymour Tri-Oval and was awarded a commemorative plaque for his efforts.  The win was also his third of the season in WISSOTA Late Model action.

The IMCA Modifieds started the feature programs on Gold Star Racing Supplies night with a couple tries before a lap could be recorded. Jared Siefert finally took the lead and set the pace through the first five laps, and numerous cautions. On lap 6, Brian Mullen took the inside route to take over the top spot from Siefert and brought Mike Mashl along into second.

The race was half over when the time limit expired during another caution which forced a green, white, checker situation. As Mullen brought the field around for the white, the caution flew again, ending the marathon, and giving Mullen his second straight division feature win here. Mashl was recorded in second with R.M. Van Pay taking third. Travis Spaulding took fourth with Jamie Schmidt and Dennis Young rounding out the top six.

Pete Parker jumped from the front row in the WISSOTA Late Model contest and proceeded to walk away from the field leaving the battle for the second spot to put on the race. Tom Naeyaert and Terry Casey battled throughout the race swapping positions several times. Terry Anvelink and then Troy Springborn were also part of the action at different times Naeyaet finally secured the runner up spot with five laps left, leaving Casey to decide third with Springborn.

Springborn was also able to wrestle third from Casey with a couple laps remaining. Parker cruised to his milestone 100 career late model feature win here at Seymour and received an plaque from N.E.W. DIRT for the accomplishment before a standing ovation from the crowd. Naeyaert took second with Springbom third and Casey fourth. Terry Anvelink was fifth and Scott Cramer sixth.

A career first at Seymour Tri-Oval.  Chaz Van Ooyen (#26) powered home to his first career Street Stock victory on Sunday evening.

Travis Van Straten jumped into the lead of the Street Stock headliner at the start and was pulling away over the early laps with Marc Marcille, Joe Arnoldussen, Lance Arneson, Bob Bernier and Kevin Jandrin behind. Bernier moved into the runner up spot on lap 7 with Arnoldussen and Arneson following. The first caution of the race appeared on lap 12 for a spin and erased Van Straten's lead. However, on the restart, Van Straten suddenly pulled to the infield and out of the race turning the lead over to Ameson, after Bernier was spun in the tri oval.

A couple more cautions kept the pack tight, and set up a five lap dash to the finish. Arneson set the pace on the restart, and Chaz Van Ooyen moved into the runner up spot. Van Ooyen tucked to the inside and made his move into the top spot. Van Ooyen collected his first career Tri Oval feature win with Arneson taking second followed by Jamie Colwell, Brandon Czarapata, Marcille and David Hoerning. Following the race, Arneson was subject to a claim, which he refused, disqualifying him from the second place finish. He also receives a 30 day suspension from all local tracks and loses his points accumulated so far this season at Seymour.

Marc Marcille (#8) who had his racing career set back a bit by a violent flip which destroyed his IMCA Modified last season, has been getting back in the groove.  He built a Street Stock and on Sunday night recorded his first victory in the class at Seymour winning his heat.

Chad Wilcox led the opening lap of the IMCA Stock Car main before Travis Van Straten took control on lap 2. Jon Wolf moved into the lead on lap 4 with Jason Czarapata, Jerry Wilinski, Tim Van De Hei and John Heinz moving to the front bunch. Several cautions slowed the first half of the race, but from lap 10, the course stayed green to the finish. Van De Hei, Czarapata and Heinz joined Wolf in pulling away from the field slightly. After swapping second place for several laps, Van De Hei settled into the spot with 4 laps left when Czarapata suffered a flat tire. Heinz, Jay Matthias, Benji LaCrosse and Rod Snellenberger were now right behind. Wolf held off Van De Hei, to win his first feature of the season. Snellenberger caught Heinz on the final lap for third. LaCrosse and Matthias rounded out the top six positions.
