(West Salem, WI - July 21, 2012) - Cole Howland and Adam Degenhardt were the ones to beat Saturday night at La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway in the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Models division's two 20-lap features.
Howland took a trip to Victory Lane after the first feature. He was running second at the halfway point with J. Herbst in the lead.
Howland went to the low side of Herbst and after a few tries, and a push from Todd Korish, Howland got around the leader with eight laps to go.
Howland then had to hold off a hard-charging Korish to capture the win.
It wasn't any easy win, or an easy start for Howland.
He started on the pole, but didn't stay there long. Herbst jumped out into the lead as a caution came out on the first lap when Degenhardt spun in Turn 4.
Herbst then restarted the race in the lead, but had to fight for that position as another caution flag flew.
Scott Rand and Craig Kohlmeier, who were running in the mid-pack, both got loose in Turn 1 on the restart. The duo went flying to the outside wall and Rand's car was sent up over Kohlmeier's.
Both car sustained severe damage, but the two drivers were unharmed.
Herbst and Howland restarted side by side, but Herbst pulled out into the lead and held on for as long as he could.
But both Howland and Korish were just too fast.
Herbst finished second, Korish third, Brad Powell fourth and Brent Kirchner fifth.
Degenhardt had a rough first feature, posting a 10th place finish after spinning, but redeemed himself in the second by taking the lead early and winning Feature No. 2.
The excitement of the first race carried over into the second.
Degenhardt started on the pole but his eyes were on the mirror.
Shawn Pfaff, who finished eighth in Feature No. 1, was racing through the field swerving high, then low to try and catch Degenhardt.
Pfaff made it to the second spot, but could close the gap on Degenhardt.
Pfaff finished second, Matthew Henderson third, Herbst fourth and Korish fifth.
Korish maintained the points lead, with 568 points, after posting second and fifth place finishes. Pfaff is second (551) and Kirchner third (545).
Greg Scheck held on like a dirt track driver to win the North Country Contractors Sportsmen feature.
Scheck was battling side by side with Matt Inglett for seven laps before he was able to get a run on the leader. With only one lap to go Scheck, who was on the outside of Inglett, made his move and dove into the lead.
But when he did, the nose of Inglett's car got caught on the back bumper of Scheck's car.
Scheck was sideways through Turn 1, looking like he was going to break and slide up the track into the wall.
But he didn't. He held on through the corner and straightened his car back out to capture the checkered flag.
Inglett finished second, Jake Arneson third, Randy Humfeld fourth and Jack Litsheim fifth.
Rick Schermerhorn was the fast time qualifier of the night. But on his cool down lap the entire rear axel came off of his car and he went flying into the Turn 3 wall, ending his night early.
Nathan White took the feature win in the United Auto Supply Thunderstox division. Wayne Smith took the checkered flag first, but was later disqualified for his ride height being too low.
White was able to advance from a mid-pack starting position to take the second spots with only two laps remaining to finish behind Smith.
Chris Weber was credited with a second place finish and Dustin Bagstad third.
Jerry Aylsworth dominated in the Volden Construction Outlawz division. Aylsworth was the fast-time qualifier, then went on to win both the feature and heat races.
On July 28 the Kwik Trip NASCAR Late Models, North Country Contractors Sportsmen, and United Auto Supply Thunderstox divisions return with a Double Spin to Win Thunderstox novelty event. And you won't want to miss the action on August 4. Along with our regular weekly racing divisions is the first Trailer Race of Destruction of the season. Watch the craziness of cars and trucks pulling around boats, campers and utility trailers for a race to see which is the last trailer to stand!
