Burgess Takes Win in
Action Packed La Crosse Feature!
By R.J. Herried |
May 1,
2004; West Salem, WI - After two weeks of feature race
washouts thanks to rain, it appears the drivers were anxious to get back out and give the
fans their moneys worth and more. Charlie Menard started out the chilly evening turning
the fastest lap in Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model qualifying for the third consecutive week,
running a lap of 98.318 MPH.
Although Menard won qualifying, he wasn’t a big factor in the La
Crosse Radio Group Feature race, managing a fifth place finish. The big battle on the
track was between two veteran drivers, Steve Holzhausen and Mark Lamoreaux. Lamoreaux led
the early laps of the race, with Holzhausen close behind. On lap 15, Holzhausen assumed
the lead by on the outside going into turn 4. Three laps later, as Lamoreaux was mounting
a comeback on the inside groove, he spun, touching Holzhausen in the process, bringing out
the caution flag but doing little damage to either car.
The beneficiary of the spin was Andy Burgess, who was running in third position at the
time of the caution. Burgess was never challenged for the lead after the restart as he
held off Shawn Pfaff and Todd Korish to take the checkered flag. J. Herbst and Charlie
Menard rounded out the top five.
Jeff Krueger won the B-main feature, while Tim Hagen and Bill Niles won heat races. Adam
Degenhardt and Mike Belling won the Bud dash races in the Late Model division.
In the CC106.3 Sportsman Feature race, Jeff Baker chased early leader Randy Steinhoff for
eight laps, finally able to complete the pass for the lead on the high side in turn three.
Baker was able to maintain a comfortable cushion all the way to the finish. Tom Thill,
Chris Skrede, Michael Albrecht, Jr. and Jes Tenner rounded out the top five.
Mike Albrecht, Jr. set a new track record in Ray Hutson Chevrolet Sportsman qualifying,
turning a lap of 22.514 seconds, or 87.212 MPH. Albrecht’s time broke the record by
.007 seconds. Winning preliminary races were Nick Schroeder in the non-qualifying heat
race, and Jeff Wintefield and Joe Rinartz in the qualifying heats. Taking the dash wins
were Randy Steinhoff and Chand Wehling.
In the Classic Rock 100.1 Thunderstox feature, Tim Steinhoff was able to hold off Emily
Sue Steck for the win, followed up by Danielle Neary, Charles Vian and Lester Stanfield.
Taking heat wins in the division were Jason Pulham, Dwayne Anderson, Brad Warthan and
Lavern Berg. Charles Vian won the Bud Dash and Jamie Dummer took the B-Main race.
