BURLINGTON, IA
(June 12, 2011) - After a couples weeks off due to rain it was back to the
track at 34 Raceway with plenty of action and plenty of cars. Two drivers
got their first wins for the year including Tanner Thomann, West Burlington
(hobby stocks) and Scott Van Buskirk, Hedrick (sport mods). Three drivers
got repeat wins for the year including Tyler Cale, Donnellson (modifieds),
Jason Ditsworth, Gladstone, Il. (sprints), and Jeff Meuller, New London
(stock cars). Twenty-five
Miller Lite IMCA Modifieds took on 34 Raceway and Tyler Cale, Donnellson,
would take the checkered flag for the second time this year. Brandon Rothzen
took the lead from Mike Weikert on lap nine of the twenty lap feature and
would lead the field for the next ten laps. Rothzen would appear to be
adding daylight between him and Tyler Cale but with one lap to go, Rothzen
would push to the top in turn two and Cale would slip past for the lead and
the win. Rothzen had to settle for second and Dustin Crear would finish
third. The Mikes Auto
Parts IMCA Stock Cars took to the track for the second feature race of the
night with a nice field of eighteen cars setting the field. Wapellos Brett
Timmerman took the early lead from his front row start and led the field
for the first nine laps holding off several challenges by Jeff Mueller. On
lap ten Mueller was finally able to get past Timmerman for the lead and
would go on to take the checkered flag in the flag to flag race that took
just six minutes. Ryan Cook would finish second and Chris Webb followed in
third. Jayson
Ditsworth took advantage of some tough luck for Daniel Bergquist to get his
third W.T. Gabeline and Sons Trucking 305 Sprint feature win topping the
twenty car field. In just his second year behind the wheel of a sprint car,
Bergquist would take the lead from Dustin Whiting on lap three of the twenty
lap feature and would pull away from the field. With one lap to go, disaster
struck for the young gun when he was forced to go to the pits following a
caution with a flat tire. This gave Ditsworth, who had moved from the rear
of the field to the second position, the advantage as he went on to hold off
Matt Krieger for the win. In their
second appearance of the year at 34 Raceway this year, Scott Van Buskirk,
Hedrick, would take the checkered flag in the fifteen lap feature. Van
Buskirk led all but two of the fifteen laps, when Rodger Dresden was able to
get by him on lap ten. But Buskirk would gain the lead back two laps later
and went on to hold off Jeff Mueller for the win. Tanner Thomann,
West Burlington, led from start to finish in yet another flag to flag
feature for the night. Thomann took the lead on the first lap of the
fifteen car field from his second row and had to work hard to keep his
position ahead of Jake Wenig, Ray Raker and Dean Kratzer who were racing
side by side and bumper to bumper. Thomann would start to pull away slightly
but as he ran into lap traffic the gap would close. Wenig would pull up to
his bumper and on the final lap was along side the leader as the passed the
stands. Thomann would take the win by a 1/2 car length as they passed the
finish line side by side.
