August
24, 2002; West Salem, WI - A hot night at the LaCrosse
Fairgrounds Speedway featured Brad Powell the Victor in the A-1 Glass NASCAR LateModel
feature race Saturday night. Powell was in a dog fight for the lead with Paul
Proksch who were swapping positions for the lead all night. Proksch started on
the pole and ended up taking third when a caution with two laps to go brought the pack
together and made for an exciting finish. Powell had engine problems last week but
he and his team worked out the bugs for another win at LaCrosse.
Last weeks feature winner and fast qualifier
Steve Holzhausen worked his way through the pack taking the number two position way from
Paul Proksch on the last lap. Rick Wateski who is third in the points standings took
fourth and points leader Kevin Nuttleman took fifth. The crash involved Todd Korish
and J. Herbst who weren't injured and their cars weren't too damaged.
Scott Beckler won an easy victory in the A-1
Glass Grand National Sportsman feature. Beckler Started on the pole and held onto
his lead the whole race despite a restart on lap with five to go. Beckler ended out
the night with the fastest car and the checkered flag. First might have been an easy
win but the rest of the field was tight, hard, great sportsman racing till the end.
The whole pack from the front to the back were
battling it out and jockeying for positions. Rick Shisler the second place finisher
raced hard and got a break when Corey Jankowski and Jimmy Gilster got into each other in
turn four with five to go. The crash and ensuing yellow opened the field wide open
for the rest of the pack to clinch a higher position on the track, which included
three wide racing. Rick Shisler took the second place spot with Tom Thill in third,
Adam Degenhardt in fourth, and Jeff Baker took Fifth.
The LaCrosse fairgrounds speedway was once again
rocked by the metal mangling mayhem of the United Auto Supply Thunderstox division.
The cars were loud and the action was hard. It was what the track announcer
Chuck Timm liked to call it a "slobbernocker". The race was full of crashes,
chills and spills with Jason Bolster winning the checkered flag over Jason Schaller.
Matt Inglett took third, Jake Arneson took fourth, and Troy Anderson took fifth.
