Wisconsin Dells, WI (July 25, 2010) - The pits were filled
to capacity Saturday night at Dells Raceway Park, an ASA Sanctioned
Track, with a season high of 32 cars
qualifying in the Bandit division. The Mid-American Stock Car
Series also had a record setting 29 cars for the Dells Duel Part
Two. Late Models, Sportsman, Pure Stocks, and American Super
Cups rounded out the field.
The Late Model Division battled it out in qualifying for a chance
at the next Assembly Products Dash Challenge. Bobby Kendall knew
his car was fast when he qualified with a time of 14.361 seconds.
With a full field invert in the Fast Dash, Steve Lichtfeld gained
the pole position with Cardell Potter right behind him. With just
10 laps to make a move, Potter attempted to catch up to Lichtfeld,
but was just a few seconds behind. Steve Lichtfeld won the dash
and a potential spot in the next Assembly Products Shoot Out being
held on September 4, 2010.
When the invert was calculated, Bobby Kendall found himself in
the middle of the pack, while Mike Ehde led the field from the
pole. Ehde set to work on gaining ground, as the group behind him
battled for positions. Steve Lichtfeld, coming off his dash win
earlier in the night, worked his way past brother Mike to take
over second place. At the mid-point of the race, contact between
Steve Lichtfeld and Andrew Kulka, brought out the caution, and
a double file restart. Bobby Kendall was the first to elect the
outside lane, and when the green flag dropped again, Kendall used
that outside groove to challenge Ehde for first. They were side
by side racing for 8 laps with Kendall just a nose ahead of Ehde
when the caution flag flew again. With only 10 laps to go in the
race, the field was realigned single file and Bobby Kendall in
the lead. Kendall took off on the restart and flew into Victory
Lane for his first feature win of the 2010 season. Heat race winners
were Ed Jackson, Kyle Wolosek, and Corey Jankowski.
Brian Warner was the fastest qualifier in the Sportsman Division
with a time of 15.614 seconds. In the feature event, Ron Grabarski
jumped into an early lead with Tuffy Myer right behind him. Grabarski
was running a great race and looked to be headed to Victory Lane
but a mechanical failure forced him to leave the track. Tuffy Myer
took over the lead and won his second feature for the season. Ron
Grabarski was the heat race winner.
In the Pure Stock division, Trute kept his qualifying streak alive,
scoring his 8th fast qualifier for the season with a time of 15.902
seconds. "Bic" Arendsee led the field to green followed
by Mark Ailes. Just three laps into the feature Ailes sailed past
Arendsee to take over first. Despite pressure from the pack Ailes
hung on to the top spot and won his first feature of the season.
Heat race winners were Doug Paul and Dave Trute.
For the second week in a row, Brandon Junget, was fastest on track
during qualifying with a time of 17.571 seconds. Kory Childs is
having a fantastic rookie season, ranked third in points. Childs
would start the feature in fourth place but by the time the field
completed the first lap he was in the lead. Josh Bisbee, in second
position, raced hard but couldn't get past Childs. When the checkered
flag flew, Kory Childs won his first feature. Jeremy Simmons, Todd
Kolpien, Jim Lorang, and Kory Childs won the heat races.
In American Super Cup racing, Erik Gehrke won the 20-lap feature
and a heat race. David Cerer had fast qualifying time and won a
heat race as well.
