Troy Hintzsche Tops ASA Late Model Field at MIS on Trackside Charities Night Oregon (WI)- Speed and music were on tap at Madison International Speedway as part of Trackside Charities Night sponsored by Construction Labor Management. Troy Hintzsche, Bobby Wilberg, Mark Storlie, and Ryan Goldade would take home the checkered flags when the night was over. Troy Hintzshe of Malta, Illinois, made the most of his pole position as he led all forty laps of the Weaver Auto Parts ASA Late Model feature event and came home with his first win in the 2005 season. “This is awesome,” said Hintzsche. “I tried to stay consistent and keep them behind me,” he added. Hintzsche and Travis Sauter of Necedah paced the field of twenty-two cars to the green flag. Hintzsche wasted no time in grabbing the lead with Sauter right behind. The first caution of the race came out on lap fifteen for a spin on the backstretch. At the same time point leader Bobby Wilberg was suffering mechanical problems and was forced to pull his car into the pits and was unable to return. The yellow flag came out for the second time on lap 18 for a two car incident on the back stretch. Following the restart Hintzsche continued to maintain his advantage over the field with Chad Wood of Madison, Nate Haseleu of Pardeeville and Bryan Reffner of Stevens Point moving their ways up to the top five. When the checkered flag flew it was Hintzsche picking up his first-ever feature win at MIS followed by Sauter, Wood, Haseleu, and Reffner. Haseleu set fast time with a lap of 18.473 (97.44 mph). Chad Stevens of Orfordville won the semi-feature with Brady Liddle of Oregon, Dave Gentile Jr. of Elwood, IL, and Johnny Baumeister of Lake Geneva. Mark Storlie of Elko, Minnesota, made it two for two in the Mid American Super Truck Triple Crown Series at MIS as he topped a field of nineteen trucks in their thirty-five lap feature race. Fred Oswald of Lake Mills and Verona’s Todd Schmitz led the field to the green flag. Schmitz proved to be the truck with the most speed as he quickly jumped to the lead and began to check away from the field as a spirited battle for second took place behind him. Things went from bad to worse for Schmitz when the caution flag flew on lap 19 for a spin in turn one. The caution not only took away Schmitz’ advantage over the field, but a small fire erupted under his truck forcing him to the infield and ending his night. Schmitz’ misfortune moved Shakopee’s John Vig Jr. to the lead which he was able to maintain for only one lap as Janesville’s Dan Chesmore took over the lead on lap 20. Chesmore could only hold off the fast charging Tony Holm of Prior Lake, Minnesota, for only three laps as he relinquished the lead on lap 23. Holm appeared to the be the truck to beat until on lap 30 when Storlie got by him on the inside and led the remaining five laps to pick up the victory. Fast time was set by Vince Wilkinson of Sandwich, Illinois, with a lap of 19.250 or 93.51 mph. Heat races were won by Bill Prietzel of Franklin and Chesmore. Point leader Bobby Wilberg added to his total by winning the forty lap feature for the Bryden Motors Super Late Model event. A pair of Illinois drivers, Steve Rubeck and Jeremy Miller, paced the field of seventeen super late models to the green flag. Rubeck claimed the top spot from the start and held off the field for the first twenty two laps. On lap 23, Wilberg, who started seventh in the field, passed Rubeck on the inside for the lead. On lap 26 DeForest’s Andrew Morrissey got by Rubeck for second and moved up to challenge the leader. Despite a series of late race cautions for spins, Wilberg was able to maintain his advantage over the field and visit victory lane for the second time this season in the super late model division. Once again Wilberg set fast time in the division with a lap of 17.765 or 101.32 mph. Stoughton’s Ryan Goldade notched his second feature win by besting a nine car field in the twenty lap event for the Bryden Motors Area Sportsman. The field came to the green flag led by Edgerton’s Casey Burns and Stoughton’s Carey Hensel with Burns going right to the front and taking charge. However, Goldade proved to be too fast for the field tonight as he moved up to challenge Burns by the second lap and on lap three passed him for the lead. A tight battle for second featuring Mark Deporter of Fort Atkinson, Jay Kalbus of Watertown, and Luke Padfield occurred with Padfield spinning and being forced to the pits on lap 14. After the green flag waved again it was all Goldade as he outdistanced the field to the checkered flag. Following Goldade at the line were DePorter, Kalbus, Scott Lawver of Roscoe, Illinois, and Burns. DePorter set fast time with a lap of 20.704 or 86.94 mph. The Grand National Vintage Stock Car Series was also in action with Mark Freund of Wonder Lake, Illinois, winning both the heat race and twelve lap feature in his 1969 Daytona Charger. Racing action continues at Madison International Speedway on Friday, July 15 with action in the Weaver Auto Parts ASA Late Models, Bryden Motors Area Sportsman, and the Mid-American Stock Car Series with Round Two of their Triple Crown Series.
