NELSON DOUBLES AT PROCTOR
By Jerry O'Brien
Darrell Nelson put up a double feature win night Sunday
August 20 at the Proctor Speedway. Nelson won the WISSOTA Late
Model feature after a stout battle with Tim McMann and Jeff
Provinzino. He then swept the action in the WISSOTA Modified
division with a heat win and a strong run to the checkered flags
in the 20 lap feature. It was his fifth Modified feature of the
season as well as his second Late Model main event win. Jeff
Tardy won his fourth WISSOTA Super Stock feature of the season
while Greg Chesley also won his fourth of the season in the
WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds. Pete Ciurleo also became a multiple
winner as he took his second win in the Pure Stock
division.
Tim McMann who has one feature win to his credit this season
at the speedway took off from the pole position and led well
past the half way mark in the 20 lap feature. Behind him Darrell
Nelson and Jeff Provinzino renewed their competition and closed
on McMann leaving a gaggle of cars battling in their wake for
fifth. Nelson took advantage of a lapped car to slip past McMann
for the lead with Provinzino following him through. Provinzino
shadowed Nelson for the remaining laps but Nelson held him off
for the win. Provinzino, and McMann were second and third with
Jeff Broking breaking out of the pack into fourth and point
leader Harry Hanson rounding out the top five.
Going into the night's action in the WISSOTA modified
division Darrell Nelson held a 15 point lead over Don Copp. When
the smoke cleared after the 20 lap feature nothing had changed
except the point totals as Nelson was the winner with Copp
second. Nelson was second in his heat and Copp won his so the
point battle remains tight going into the final night next week.
Four caution flags with nine of 20 in the books helped thin out
the herd, perhaps the most notable was perennial contender Kelly
Estey who headed the list of DNF's that totaled nine of 19
starters. In the early going Nelson had all he wanted from Jody
Bellefeuille who has really come into his own in the ‘06
season. Bellefeuille showed no fear as he battled wheel to wheel
with the veteran Nelson for several laps before slowing late in
the event pulling into the infield. Nelson ran away from Copp in
the late stages to take the win with Jeff Hart third, Jeff Lien
fourth and Nick Nelson coming home fifth.
Robbie Copper of Superior has shown steady improvement over
the season in the Super Stock division and found himself
starting the 20 lap feature from the inside of row number two.
After a no start when outside pole sitter Art Hyde lost power
and stalled, Cooper shot into the lead with Sam Skalsky hot on
his heels. Pole sitter Doug Woodhull ran third with point leader
Kyle Peterlin and Eric Nelson close behind. Cooper held onto the
lead in the early going before Skalsky took over the point.
Peterlin went to second while Cooper had Jeff Tardy and Ryan Aho
to worry about from the third spot. Skalsky led until past the
mid point when Tardy took over. Cooper was still third as
Peterlin and Aho squabbled for fourth. Tardy won his fourth
feature of the season ahead of Skalsky. Peterlin and Aho got by
Cooper for third and fourth.
Greg Chesley lined up ninth in the WISSOTA Midwest Modified
feature but it was Mid Mod rookie Randy Vezina to the early lead
over Mark Kangas. Kangas over cooked the turn trying to
challenge for the lead and slid into the infield bringing out
the first of three caution flags. Monty Hall gained the lead at
the green flag with Tom Smart second. A lap later Chais Eliason
stalled on the top of turn one bringing out the caution flag
once again. Hall again led off in the lead over Smart, Vezina
and newcomer Jim White. Another caution flag quickly appeared
when point leader Nick Lavato suffered broken front suspension
parts, attrition was high in the first few laps as well before
the half way point with six of 20 starters sidelined by lap four
of 20. Hall continued to lead as the half way mark was reached
with Greg Chesley now second. Behind them lined up Smart,
Vezina, Deven Van House, Jesse Ogston, Chad Larson, a persistent
Barry Smith and Jeremy Hall. Championship contender Kangas also
dropped out at this point. Just past half way Monty Hall
faltered and also dropped out leaving the race to Chesley who
went on to take his fourth feature win of the season. Van House,
Ogston and Larson finished in the top five while Smith finished
sixth despite pitting twice for tire changes under
caution.
Pete Ciurleo won his second Pure Stock feature of the season
after a hard battle with glen Dammer. Tom Morinville took the
early lead from the outside of the front row with Al Rapp, Don
Follett, Dan Larsen, Jon McKinnon and Pete Ciurleo following.
Morinville's lead was erased when the only caution flag of the
event flew when point leader Ricky Davis was spun out by Larsen
while running fifth. Ciurleo grabbed the lead after the restart
and battled with Morinville and Dammer for the lead. Ciurleo and
Dammer clashed off the fourth turn for the win over Dammer,
Morinville, Davis and McKinnon.
