September 11, 2004;  West Salem, WI - The annual Eve of Destruction sponsored by Coca-Cola certainly provided lots of fun for the roughly 7,000 attendees Saturday night at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway. Great racing and lots of novelty events hightlighted the evenings schedule. In action were the United Auto Supply Thunderstox as well as the Features Sports Bar and Grill Hornet division.

The Hornets ran a full schedule, including four heat races and three features. Winning heat races were Kim Strom, Mike Peters, Heath Weissenberger and Jerrod Loging. Feature race winners were Jeff Rud, Chris Vinson and Mike Carlson.

The Thunderstox drivers competed in a series of fun novelty events. Justin Berg and Andy Barney were the winners in the Second Over the Line races. Adam Moore and Kevin Burr took the checkers in the Double Spin to Win races. Tony Leis took the win in the famous School Bus Race, outlasting Jerrod Loging to the line. After fan voting and tons of destruction, Robert Stanfield was declared the winner of the infamous Trailer Race of Destruction. Over twenty cars hauling boats, campers, lawn mowers and much more started, but not too many finished.

Also providing lots of entertainment for the fans were the Devastator and Full Boar Monster Trucks, Spectacular Drags cars and the Green Mamba Jet Car.

One weekend of racing action remains in the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway season. The 35th annual Oktoberfest Race Weekend, featuring 15 divisions, will take place October 7-10. Make plans now to come out and enjoy the great weekend of racing action.
