Ryan Gustin puts on a show at Park Jefferson Speedway
Jefferson, SD
July 27, 2010

A hot and steamy night welcomed the Casey’s General Stores United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) Modifieds to Park Jefferson Speedway.  A beautifully prepared track kept the drivers running side by side all night long as Ryan Gustin, David Miller, and Karl Brewer all picked up feature wins.

The Casey’s USMTS Modifieds got the fans on their feet with their four wide salute to the fans, and many of those fans never sat down again.  Quickly after the drop of the green, third starting Jason Krohn would take the top spot, and build up a nearly full straightaway lead.  Farther back however, Ryan Gustin was putting on a show.  Gustin, who qualified from the b-main, started 14th, and utilized a lower line that anyone else to move towards the front.  A couple of late cautions brought the field together with Krohn leading, Jason Hughes second, and Gustin third.  On the last restart, Gustin drove as hard as his car would handle into turn one, grabbed the bottom of the speedway,  and rocketed down the backstretch to take the lead.  Gustin would pull away in the closing laps ahead of Krohn, Hughes, Corey Dripps, and Jon Tesch.

Only a few select drivers have multiple wins on the season in the Motor Parts Central 360Bmods.  Two of those drivers would battle for the race win as Dan VanBruggen and Karl Brewer put on a show for the entirety of the feature event.  Early leader Darin Roepke faded as VanBruggen and Brewer took two different lines around the speedway.  VanBruggen consistently ran the top, with Brewer lower on the speedway.  As the lower line came in, Brewer was able to get by and pull away for his 6th feature win on the season at Park Jefferson.  VanBruggen held on for second ahead of Chad TenNapel, Jeff Brunssen, and Dustin Thayer.

At the front of the field was definitely not the place to be in the Steve’s Roofing Hornets feature.  Early leader John Sopoci nearly spun exiting turn two and nearly collected the field.  Cody Thompson would inherit the lead looking to pick up consecutive wins.  Thompson however would cut a right front tire on the final restart, handing the lead to David Miller.  Miller would pick up another feature win ahead of Luke Jackson, Corey Cable, Travis Deiterman, and Tyler Thompson.

Cody Thompson gets win #1 at Park Jefferson Speedway

July 24, 2010

Jefferson, SD

LeRoy Beck

 

Cody Thompson has been so close so many times, but Thompson would be an excited first time feature winner as Casey General Stores presented the NASCAR Whelen All American Series at Park Jefferson Speedway.  On a beautiful Saturday night great racing would bring Harvey VandeWeerd, Jason Ward, Paul Menard, Dan VanBruggen, and Anthony Boulware and Brady Wenzlaff to Victory Lane.

 

Some nights are nearly perfect.  When everything goes right you just hope to capitalize and get the feature win, especially in the premier division like the VerHoef Automotive Modifieds.  Harvey VandeWeerd had a nearly perfect night.  During a long stretch of green flag racing, VandeWeerd would build a nearly half track advantage before a late caution would bunch the field.  Bob Moore, in the runner up spot, would give a valiant challenge, but VandeWeerd was too strong and pulled away in the closing laps.  Moore held on for second ahead of Greg Peck, Matt Bonine, and Chris Mills.

 

A great three car battle for the lead kept drivers and fans on the edge of their seats during the B&B Salvage Stock Car feature.  Curt VanBeek, Mitch Dowhower and Jason Ward were nearly inseparable during the majority of the feature.  VanBeek would lead the majority of the race as it appeared he would be able to hold off the field.  Ward, however, found a slightly different line through the corners and was able to get by VanBeek.  Dowhower quickly followed and would challenge Ward the rest of the way, but Ward was able to pick up win number 5 on the year.  Dowhower, VanBeek, Paul Wenzlaff, and Glenn Wynia rounded out the top five.

 

Darin Roepke dominated the Motor Parts Central 360bmod feature.  At time Roepke would have a nearly full straightaway advantage.  Just past the halfway point, Dan VanBruggen found a higher line than anyone else around the speedway, and quickly began charging to the front.  A caution with four to go would erase Roepke’s diminishing lead to zero.  Roepke fought off VanBruggen lap after lap as Roepke fought for his first feature win of the year.  Entering turn three, VanBruggen would go back to his high line.  VanBruggen quickly crossed over, exiting turn four low and was able to pull past Roepke to edge him at the line.  After VanBruggen and Roepke were Shawn Bearce, Jeff Brunssen, and Chad TenNapel.

 

Paul Menard has had an up and down season in the Blue Ox Hobby Stocks.  Menard would start from the front row and pull away from the field in an uninterrupted feature.  As Menard continued to control the front of the field, Bill Woehler, Justin Regnerus, and Jake McClure would swap the next three spots lap after lap.  When the checkered flew, Woehler, Regnerus, McClure, and John Cain would cross behind Menard.

 

As the Steve’s Roofing Hornet feature pulled onto the speedway Cody Thompson had one clear cut goal, get win number one.  Thompson quickly took the top spot as Randy Cass, Tim Cass, and David Miller would all challenge for the top spot.  Thompson held off all challengers and picked up his first win.  In Victory Lane after the races, a very excited Thompson thanked everyone who ever helped him get a his first win.  Anthony Boulware and Brady Wenzlaff continued to dominate the 2 person cruiser features, picking up another win.
