PROCTOR SPEEDWAY HOST RECORD CAR COUNT
Grandstands Filled As Speedway Attempts To Get In First Complete Show of Season

By Jerry O'Brien
6-12-05

Mother Nature relented Sunday July 12th and gave the Proctor Speedway a perfect day to attempt to get in its first complete show of the 2005 season. A record car count greeted a full house as racing was scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. with four makeup features on tap from the May 28th show that was rained out after the Late Model feature.

In the makeup features it was Monte Hall taking the win over early leader Nick Lavato. It looked as though Lavato had a chance to take his first win in a Midwest Modified but the flying Hall came forward from the 9th starting slot to nip Lavato for the lead and the win. Pole sitter Pete Hines was third ahead of National Point Leader Justin Jones and Dick Walters in the top five.

Tim Johnson turned the outside pole position into the winning position as he took the win in the WISSOTA Super Stock makeup feature. Pole sitter Kevin Salin was second in his best run in some time at the Proctor Speedway while Scott Lawrence came from deep in the field to take third ahead of Bobby Carlson and Destin Lorimor. National Super Stock point leader, Ryan Aho, had a difficult race starting third, falling off the top of turn one to lose several spots at the start before rebounding to finally finish 7th.

Kelly Estey parlayed the pole position for the WISSOTA Modified makeup feature into the win as he got out front quickly and dominated the event taking the win over a very fast Brad Hanson who came from the 11th starting spot to finish second.Jayme Lautigar, Marc Johnson and Johnny Carpenter rounded out the top five. 

Rob Monahan cruised to an easy win in the Pure Stock makeup main event, also from the pole position over a closing Ricky Davis. Jim McClellan, Scott Larsen and Jon McKinnon finished in the top five. 

With the makeup features in the books it was time to run heat races and B Mains for the 170 car field in five divisions. With that task completed the first of five features rolled onto the track. There were 21 WISSOTA Late Models in competition and all 21 headed out onto the 3/8ths mile oval for their 20 lap main event led by Danny Young and Jeff Provinzino. At the green flag Young shot out into the lead over Provinzino with a fast moving Harry Hanson third ahead of Ed Wakefield and Jeff Broking. The first of an uncharacteristic six caution flags appeared when Caley Emerson spun in turn three. At the restart Young again took the lead over Provinzino with Broking now in third, Hanson fourth and Tom Nesbitt riding in fifth. Hanson again moved to third as Provinzino battled for the lead with Young. 

Caution flag number two flew when Mike Meger slowed on the back stretch. Young again led the pack to the green flag with Provinzino and Hanson on his tail. Provinzino now had Hanson to worry about as he battled wheel to wheel with him letting Young ease out into a bit of a lead. Again the action was slowed with the third caution period as Kelly Estey found himself facing the wrong way in turn two. Yet again Young held the point as two laps after the restart Hanson disposed of Provinzino and set out after the leader. Hanson tracked down Young and they dueled briefly until Hanson was able to gain the edge off turn four and take over the lead. The yellow flag flew for the fourth time when Johnny carpenter slid off turn one. At the green Hanson led Young but the caution gave Provinzino the opportunity and he wrested second from Young only to have caution flag number five for the stalled ride of Nick Nelson in the first turn give Young back is spot. Hanson led Young with Provinzino third. Darrell Nelson was up to fourth. 

The final caution flag flew for Johnny Carpenter again as he slid off turn four this time. At the restart Young got a great jump on Hanson and took the lead only to have Hanson regain it with a strong move off turn four. Hanson dominated the final laps for the win with Young, Provinzino, Nelson and Wakefield rounding out the top five at the finish. 

Scott Hudack was the pole sitter as the WISSOTA Modified feature headed out onto the racing surface with Jeff Wood to his outside shoulder. At the green Wood grabbed the lead over Kelly Estey with Hudack and Paul Schultz following. Darrell Nelson and Don Copp made their way into the top five as Estey chased Wood. In the early going the top groove appeared faster as Estey repeatedly dove to the inside of Wood but was unable to complete the slide move to take the lead. While the leaders drew away, it was Arpin, Copp and Nelson battling for third. Estey kept working the low side until he was able to clear Wood and take the lead as Copp won the skirmish for third. 

A clash between Steve Arpin and a fast closing Brad Hanson resulted in Arpin's ride turning turtle in the first turn bringing out the red flag. Arpin appeared to be uninjured but was visibly upset with Hanson. At the green flag Estey led Wood, Nelson, Copp and Hudack. Wood got a great run and got past Estey for the lead but a caution flag for an incident in the first turn involving Jeff Lien and Duane Dale brought out the final caution flag. Estey was restored to the lead as a full lap had not been completed leaving Wood in second. On the white flag lap Copp who had made it to third, took second from Wood with Hudack fourth and Nelson fifth.

At this point with three features yet to finish, the curfew was reached and the final three events were postponed to Sunday night June 19. It was also announced that for the remainder of the summer racing at the speedway will start 30 minutes earlier with hot laps at 4:30 and racing at 5 p.m.
