Powell Takes Checkered Flag In Backup Car At La Crosse by Ashley Iwanski 7/11/2012 La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway Coming Events Friday, July 13 Friday Night Street Drags Saturday, July 14 ///NASCAR Late Models, Sportsmen, Thunderstox, Hornets Friday, July 20 Friday Night Street Drags Saturday, July 21 ///NASCAR Late Models, Sportsmen, Thunderstox, Outlawz (West Salem, WI - July 7, 2012) - The hot weather finally broke in the Midwest, but things got even hotter on the track. Brad Powell won the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Model feature in a backup car on Festival Foods night at the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway. Powell's engine broke during last week's feature. Unable to fix it before Saturday night, Powell jumped into Matthew Henderson's backup car. It was a good decision. Powell not only won the feature race but also a heat race. He held onto fifth in points, one point out of fourth. And Henderson had a great night too. He finished second in the feature after taking fifth in a heat race. Powell started third and made quick work of pole-sitter John Olson and Bill Niles, passing both leaders on the outside of Turn 4 on the fourth lap. Powell opened a gap between himself and the rest of the field as Henderson was suck with a mirror full of track legend Steve Carlson. Carlson raced from mid pack, bobbing and weaving through the field, to get to the bumper of Henderson by the halfway point. It was a game of cat and mouse as Carlson stayed glued to the bumper of Henderson, looking high, then looking low, but never making a move. Until the last lap. Points leader Todd Korish and J. Herbst were running fourth and fifth and making ground on Carlson and Henderson. Carlson chose that time to try and get past Henderson but Lap 25 came to quick. Hendersonheld on for second, Carlson third, Korish fourth and Herbst finished fifth. Rick Schermerhorn took the feature win in the North Country Sportsmen division. And it wasn't without it's fill of action. At the halfway point Jamie Dummer was leading the race followed by Bill Martin and Steve Bachman. Martin made a move to pass Dummer on the backstretch, but something broke on his car. Bachman took advantage and flew to the outside to pass both Martin and Dummer. Martin ended up in the infield as Bachman took the lead. On the restart Schermerhorn was sitting in the third spot. With five laps to go Schermerhorn took to the outside and passed both Bachman and Greg Scheck, who was running second, to take of the lead and capture the checkered flag. Bachman finished second, Scheck third, Matt Inglett fourth and Jake Arneson fifth. Mark Challet held off Chris Weber to take the feature win in the United Auto Supply Thunderstox division. Challet started fourth and quickly took over the top spot, while Weber started mid pack and worked his way up to third with five to go. On the last lap Weber took the second spot from David Cavin and tried to chase down the leader but fell short. Weber finished second and Cavin third. The American Super Cup cars made their first appearance at the La Crosse Speedway. The cars, which look like miniature Sprint Cup cars, took to the three-quarter mile track. They put on an amazing show as 14-year-old Joshua James raced to the front and held off a hard-charging pack to take the feature win. The series will be back again on August 11 for more racing action. Coming up on Friday, July 13 is another exciting night of Street Drags presented by Monster Energy. Brackets include Detroit Iron, Trucks, Mustangs and many more. Plus, a Shine N' Show contest for the great looking cool machines. And get ready for Christmas in July. On July 14 the first 300 kids in attendance will receive a free Christmas gift. And you won't want to miss out on the fast-paced action of the Late Model, Sportsmen, Thunderstox and Hornets divisions.
