Lamoreaux Wins Classic Battle at LaCrosse!

July 28, 2001;  West Salem, WI -  Again, like he has many times before, Andy Burgess turned in the fast time for the night. He maneuvered his Midwest Fuels NASCAR Late Model around the 5/8 mile track in 20.378 seconds or 96.343 miles per hour. Burgess was followed in time by Mike Belling, Isaak Owen, Kevin Nuttleman, Kurt Thicke.

The Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman fast qualifier was Trent Boettcher for the second week in a row. His time was 22.857 seconds or 85.881 miles per hour. He was followed by Tony Ciano, Tom Thill, Chand Wehling and Jeff Baker.

The Midwest Fuels NASCAR Late Models had a tough time getting the semi-feature started. Turn one of lap one found three cars facing each
other and the wrong way. The restart had several cars tangling coming out of turn four even before the green flag dropped. Three of the five cars involved in the second yellow were able to return to the track after visiting their pit crews for repair and removal of sheet metal. Marv DeGarmo was able to move his way through the field to take the finish. Todd Oliver and Tom McClintock rounded out the top three.

You could call the Midwest Fuels NASCAR Late Model feature the 'Clash of the Titans.' The 4,000 plus fans in attendance certainly had a great night of racing. Racing veterans Mark Lamoreaux, Paul Proksch, Kevin Nuttleman and Mike Belling battled for position throughout the 25 laps, with Mark Lamoreaux coming up the victor. The race encountered only one yellow flag when three drivers came together in turn three. The yellow brought the field closer together, leaving Mark Lamoreaux with a rear view mirror full of Paul Proksch. Proksch and Nuttleman battled for several
laps, much to Lamoreauxs delight as he stretched his lead out. Paul Proksch, Mike Belling, Kevin Nuttleman and points leader Brad Powell rounded out the top five.

The Ray Hutson Chevrolet Grand National Sportsman feature looked like it may go yellow free. With five laps to go, however, three cars tried for the same lane and wound up spinning each other every which way. All were able to continue the race. Points leader Jon Barrette and John Towner raced back and forth for the final laps, with Barrette taking the checkered flag. Towner would have to settle for second, fast timer Trent Boettcher came in third, followed by Jeff Baker and Jimmy Gilster.

The United Auto Supply Thunderstox finished this great night of racing. John Edwards took the checkered flag, followed by Jason Schaller, Matt Inglett, Dan Secor and Dean Ashbacer.
