August 6, 2006;
Seymour, WI - N.E.W. DIRT was able to sneak
in a full program Sunday night at the Seymour Speedway despite a
fast, but rough track early caused by over 2 inches on rain the past
week.
Bob Schampers led the opening lap of the IMCA Stock Car
main with Chaz Van Ooyen, Jr taking control on lap 2. Larry Karcz,
Jr took the inside line into the top spot on lap 5. Karcz led the
rest of the way, but a couple of cautions kept the field right
behind. Van Ooyen, Shawn Wagner and Troy Jerovetz stayed with the
leader for most of the race. Karcz was able to secure his second
feature win of the season with Van Ooyen in second. Jesse Colwell
caught Wagner on the final lap to take third. Tony Schlei and Jamie
Suchocki rounded out the top six.
Jasper Drengler took off from the front row in the Street Stock main
and built a huge lead before a caution just before mid way bunched
the field with Bob Czarapata, Harley Simon, Bill Kelsey, Jeremy
Wiitala and David Hoerning behind. Drengler was able to open another
lead as the battle for second was going on behind.
Drengler looked to have the race in hand with a couple laps left
until the right rear tire blew in turn three forcing him out of the
contest.
Czarapata inherited the lead and held off Hoerning to win his first
feature at Seymour since May 1, l994. Rookie, Todd Everard was third
with Kelsey taking fourth. Paul White and Chaz Van Ooyen, Jr rounded
out the top six.
Rod Snellenberger paced the first 4 laps of the Maplewood Shell/
Dedicated Systems WISSOTA Late Model feature with Tom Naeyaert
taking command on lap 5. After a lap 8 caution, point leader, Tim
Buhler took over the runner up spot and chased Naeyaert for the rest
of the way. Naeyaert took his first checker here since August 22,
2004. Snellenberger held off Mike Stangl for third with Gregg Haney
and A.J. Diemel rounding out the top six.
Art Siefert took off from the pole to take the lead in the Budweiser
IMCA Modified feature. Siefert, a near 30 year veteran on local
tracks was hounded by youngsters, Mike Mullen and David Werbelow,
for most of the first half of the race. Scott Mullen, Jay Matthias
and Jared Siefert made their way to the front pack by lap 10 and
over the final laps, Siefert had 5 cars right behind. Scott Mullen
moved into the runner up spot with 3 laps left and moved to the
outside as the white appeared. Over the final lap, Mullen stayed
outside and on the final turn, was able to power alongside Siefert
and took the checker by a bumper at the line for his first feature
win of the season. Art Siefert took second for his best finish in
the mods here. Jared Siefert was able to take third with Matthias,
Mike Mullen and Werbelow rounding out the top six.
The 4 Cylinders ran 2 features with Andy Kleczka taking the lead
from Brian Johnson with 3 laps left in the first feature for his
first feature win of the season.
In the second feature, Greg Dey set the pace for most of the race
with Phil Martzahl taking over the top spot with 2 laps remaining to
win his second feature of the season.
Next Sunday night, the Milwaukee Stock Car Club will be part of the
program.
