New Set up Successful for Holzhausen! By Philip Jahnke

August 17, 2002;  West Salem, WI - Solid racing was the key during the Kwik Trip 25 NASCAR Late Model feature for Bangor's own Steve Holzhausen taking his fourth feature win of the season.

Holzhausen started second and took the lead on lap two from fifth place finisher Rick Wateski and held onto win the checkered flag.  Holzhausen chose to go with a new set up this race to get ready for the 100 lap feature coming up on August 31st.  

The set up change worked out for Holzhausen but he says he wasn't really happy with the set up but it fortunately worked out in his favor.  Andy Burgess was involved in a dog fight with Kevin Nuttleman for the second spot with Burgess being the victor.  Tony Bagstad ended up with the fourth position to round out the top five.

The Ray Hutson Chevrolet Grand National Sportsman feature was hot despite the cool temperatures at the track.  Larry Bolster Jr. ended up taking the checkered flag during the Kwik Trip 15 Sportsman feature.  Bloster Jr. started on the pole and despite a restart held onto the lead and a trip to victory lane. 

There was a heated battle for second involving Dan Gilster and Dan Linnehan.  The two racers were battling it out running door to door after the restart on lap 8.  the pivotal restart was triggered when John Korish apparently blew a tire and got into the back of Tony Ciano bringing up the caution after seven.  Jimmy Gilster earned a hard fought fourth place finisher along with Sam Anderson who took fifth.  

The United Auto Supply Thunderstox feature winner was Troy Anderson.   Anderson started on the pole and jetted out to take a commanding lead and a checkered flag in the Thunderstox Kwik Trip 15.
