Perfect weather greets fans for great night of racing at Chateau Speedway

July 29, 2022 | by Matthew Grage

Ryan Goergen rolled his Hanson Tire Wissota Midwest Modified during the feature. He was uninjured.

Mother Nature provided the perfect weather for Friday Nights Racing Action at Chateau Speedway, Powered By Garlick’s Water, and the drivers took it from there as the field put on a good show for the fans in attendance. This weeks action was sponsored by Countryside Auto and Duffy’s BP, both of Austin. The Track started a six week promotion with Team Ellie. Each week a random class will have a $300 bonus added to the Feature Winners check and there will be another random drawing for two more positions in that Feature for an extra $100. This weeks class, drawn by a fan, was the Double M Transport USRA B Mods and it was current point Leader Michael Johnson of Dexter who claimed the extra cash after taking his fourth feature win of the season. Johnson came from row five for the win. The drawing for the other bonus checks went to the fourth and fifth place cars, Kevin Johnson of Rose Creek and Hunter Kennedy of St Ansgar Iowa. Heat wins in the class went to Kevin Johnson, Kennedy and Zach Elward of Hayfield.

Skjeveland Sanitation USRA Stock Cars saw a first time Feature winner in the class Andrew Eischens of Taopi who used a front row starting spot to his advantage to lead flag to flag for the win. Heat wins went to Chris Adams of McIntire Iowa and Travis Shipman of Mason City Iowa.

It turned into a double Feature win night for Eischens as he was credited with the Feature win in the Power 96 Pure Stocks after Jack Paulson of Morristown was DQ’d in the Tech Line. A couple of Chatfield drivers, Kendra Guttormson and Devyn Deyo had the classes heat wins.

Front row was the place to start from in another pair of Features on the night. Ryan Wetzstein of West Conocrd lead flag to flag from the outside of the front row in the French’s Repair USRA A Mods, and Kadden Kath of Ellendale paced the field from the front row in the Hanson Tire WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds. Kath also took a heat win giving him a sweep for the night for the Midwest Mods while Greg Pfeifer JR of Austin claimed that classes other heat wins. Things got wild in their feature when the large field of cars went into turn three and Ryan Goergen of Stacyville Iowa got a piece of the wall and ended up sideways and rolling over in the middle of the pack. Ryan quickly climbed out and was fine and took the golf cart ride back to the pits. Meanwhile in the A Mods it was Kylie Kath of Claremont and Jason Cummins of New Richland who had top honors in those heats. Cummins put on a nice show in the main event as he came from row 5 to finish second behind Wetzstein.

Shawn Poston of Red Wing took his third feature win of the year in the Manke’s Outdoor Equipment Hornets. Heat winners were Colin Wittenberg of Hastings and Daniel Bjonfald of Bloomington.

Racing action ramps up again next Friday Night with all Six Classes back in action. First Green Flag fly’s at 7:15.
