June 4, 2006; Seymour, WI - N.E.W. DIRT battled tough track conditions for the first part of the show Sunday night, but by feature time some tight last lap excitement gave the hearty fans top notch entertainment at the Seymour Speedway.

The IMCA Stock Cars ran the first feature event. Eventual winner, Rod Snellenberger, was involved in one of the numerous cautions during the race. On lap 3, last weeks winner, Larry Karcz, Jr, had the engine expire on the front chute. IN the heavy smoke, Snellenberger rear ended the car of Lee Bailey. They were locked together, but Snellenberger was able to continue after the separation. On the ensuing restart, Snellenberger pulled outside and passed 2 rows three wide taking the lead by the completion of the next lap. He outlasted a couple more cautions to win the time limit shortened race, his first feature flag of the season. Mike Pierrard took second followed by Troy Jerovetz, Kyle Fredrick, Jeremy Christians and Tony Schlei.

Jasper Drengler paced the first 3 laps of the Street Stock main before the engine quit during a caution which turned the lead over to Kyle Kudick. David Hoerning and Fred Davister were behind the leader and after a final caution on lap 7, Davister was able to wrestle the top spot away. Kudick and Hoerning stayed right behind Davister as the trio pulled away from the pack. As the leaders entered turn four for the white flag, Davisters car erupted in a cloud a smoke. Kudick pulled inside on the final lap and raced side by side to the finish line with Davister taking the checker as the engine died. Kudick took second followed by Hoerning. Todd Everard, Jerry Kope and Harley Simon rounded out the top six.

Randy Markwardt took off to lead the WISSOTA Late Model feature with Justin Ritchie, Rod Snellenberger Pete Parker and Terry Anvelink behind. Snellenberger pulled behind Markwardt on lap 3. With the leaders bunched< Parker was running the low line looking for an opening. He was finally able to work into second on lap 9 and continued to run low with Markwardt working the outside line and holding the lead. Terry Anvelink moved right behind the leaders on lap 11. Markwardt held his line while the pair of veteran pilots worked for position. Parker patiently took the top spot on lap 14 with Markwardt left to deal with Anvelink. A lone caution on lap 17, bunched the pack for a final 3 lap sprint. Anvelink moved into second on the outside and continued to pass Parker for the lead before another lap was logged. Anvelink held off Parker for the final couple laps to secure his first feature win at Seymour since July 7, 2002. Ritchie took third with last week winner, Tim Buhler taking 4th. Snellenberger and Markwardt rounded out the top six.

The IMCA Modified main started 24 cars with Jamie Schmidt taking control with Brian Drexler, David Werbelow, Eric Mullen, Scott Mullen and Jay Matthias behind. Several cautions kept the pack bunched on the leader throughout the race, but Schmidt was strong running the high line. By mid way, Scott Mullen was holding the runner up spot with Werbelow, Matthias, Benji LaCrosse and Jared Siefert behind.

After a couple more laps, Werbelow and LaCrosse were side by side in second, hounding Schmidt for the lead. After a final restart with 3 laps left, Schmidt continued to lead. On the final lap, he slipped a bit out of the second turn and LaCrosse took the opportunity to get to the inside entering turn three. The pair exited turn 4 side by side with LaCrosse getting the bite out of the turn to win his second straight feature by a half car length over Schmidt. Werbelow was third with Chad Wilcox taking fourth over Scott Mullen. Siefert was sixth.

Kevin Birr set the pace for the first 2 laps of the 4 Cylinder main with Matt Oreskovich moving up to take the lead on lap 3. Tim Jorgensen moved into the runner up spot 2 laps later and chased the leader through traffic for the rest of the non-stop race. Oreskovich took his first feature win of the season with Jorgensen second. Chris Quaintance secured third place with D.J. Jorgensen making his first run of the season taking 4th. Ben Daoust and Ian Lassanske rounded out the top six.
