At the half way point he passed Andy Burgess (Fall Creek, Wi.) on the inside taking over third. From then on out it was a game of cat and mouse to catch then leader Mike Carlson (West Salem, Wi.). Carlson started to pull away but each time he got a good cushion a caution came out bring the field back to him. Lamoreaux took the lead with seven to go when Carlson got loose and spun in the middle of turns three and four. On the last lap Steve Carlson, who was running second, got a good run and pulled up beside the leader. Lamoreaux then hung back a little to get a good run out of turn four then shot to the front for a finish that had the crowd on their feet. Steve Carlson finished 2nd, Burgess 3rd, Todd Korish 4th, and Skylar Holzhausen 5th.
The night was filled with excitement for the Late Model series. Steve Holzhausen qualified second at the beginning of the night, but was later disqualified and had to race his way back into the feature, where he started in the back. By lap twenty he had moved his way into the top ten, but had to go to the pits the next lap for a broken axle that brought out the first caution of the race. Holzhausen had one of his worst races of the season finishing in the 23rd position. Skylar Holzhausen (Steve Holzhausen’s son) and Mike Carlson, two of the series’ youngest drivers, both had great starting positions with Holzhausen on the pole and Carlson starting 4th. Carlson led most of the race then ended up going to the back of the field after his spin and finishing 16th. Skylar Holzhausen, on the other hand, was forced out of the draft quickly then fell back to about the eighth position where he stayed up until the end of the race when he rallied back for a top five finish.
Chad Rosendahl of Houston, Minn. won the North Country Contractors Sportsmen feature by holding off fellow Minnesotan Mike Albrecht Jr. Both had been absent most of the year, but their one-two finish proves they can still be contenders for a win any given week. On the first lap of the race rookie Rick Schermerhorn tried to advance his position a spot but fell back to seventh making room for Jes Tenner to move into the top five. By lap six Rosendahl began to pull away from the rest of the field. With only four to go lap traffic slowed the leader and Albrecht was able to catch up to him. In the end though, it was Rosendahl who walked away with the win. Albrecht finished 2nd, Jerimy Wagner 3rd, Tenner 4th, and last week’s winner Dan Gilster 5th.
Jake Krueger got his third feature win of the season in the United Auto Supply Thunderstox division. He started fourth and within three laps had moved his way up to second to battle for the lead. After a few spins, but no cautions, Krueger was in the lead. There was then a five way battle for the fifth position running three wide through the corners. Both Josh Inglett (9th) and Ben Allen were involved and Allen eventually edged over the others to finish 5th. John Huebner walked away with a 2nd place finish while Mike Olson finished 3rd and Steven Rusch finished 4th.
