August 7, 2004;  West Salem, WI - Andy Burgess started on the outside pole in the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model Division feature race, and turned that great starting position into his third feature win of the season, leading the whole way in the Trane Federal Credit Untion 25 Feature race Saturday night at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway.

Photo Highlights Andy Burgess (#85) sprinted away from the field to collected his third Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model main event victory of the season on Saturday evening at the LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway. Jeff Baker (#26) placed his sharp looking Ray Hutson Chevrolet NASCAR Grand National Sportsman car in victory lane after topping the feature contest.

Burgess made his move in the first corner, passing pole sitter Sam Andersen going into the first turn of the first lap. Burgess' biggest challenge came from his teammate and Late Model point leader Charlie Menard, who started sixth and quickly charged towards the front, finally moving into second place on lap 16. Menard closed the gap on Burgess, but was unable to move into position to take the checkered flag. Menard was able to extend his points, as second place Steve Holzhausen finished fourth in the feature. J. Herbst finished third, Holzhausen fourth and Kevin Nuttleman fifth.

Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model qualifying was cancelled due to rain. Once racing resumed, John Towner took the win in the B-Feature. Picking up qualifying heat wins were Quinn Arnoldy and Tim Nelson. Adam Degenhardt and Jim Hagel picked up Bud Dash victories.

Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman driver Jeff Baker started on the pole in the Trane Federal Credit Union 15, and led the entire way, edging Tom Thill to the line to pick up his second feature win of the season. Thill started in third, and pressured Baker for several laps, however was unable to make a pass for lead, finishing about a car length behind. Jordan Hess, Jes Tenner and Chand Wehling rounded out the top five.
