NEW RICHMOND, Wisc. (August 16) - Great summer weather coupled with the third Kids Night of the season produced a large turn out of race cars and fans on Saturday August 16 at the Cedar Lake Speedway. The pits were filled with 134 cars in the five weekly NASCAR racing divisions with several drivers making their first appearance of the season at the popular 3/8 mile high-banked Wisconsin track. Young Clayton Wagamon earned his first career CLS feature victory in the Midwest modified division while Jeff Heintz raced to his second win of the season in the street stocks. Defending track champion Larry Boumeester drove to his third win of the season in a caution-filled super stock feature. Dave Cain was well on his way to earning his fifth track championship when he passed Joey Jensen late in the race to garner his seventh win of 2008 in the modified division. Pat Doar raced ahead of a strong field of late models to post his first main event win.
The final feature event of the evening would see 24 ground-pounding NASCAR late models racing for 30 laps. Fresh off his modified victory, Dave Cain and Pat Doar would lead the field to starter Jeff Stacken's green flag. The race was immediately under the red flag for an eight car accident exiting turn two and down the backstretch on the opening lap. Amazingly, seven of the eight cars involved were able to restart with only Kerry Hanson's car riding the hook to the pits. On the second start attempt, Mike Bear spun in turn 1 and was out of the race since the first caution had also been charged to the veteran driver. The third time was the charm and the race would go 30 laps nonstop. Pat Doar blasted into the lead from his outside front row starting spot with Dave Cain in second. Soon it was Rick Hanestad getting past Cain for second, as the driver of the #71H car set his sights on the leader. Hanestad slowly began reeling in Doar, as the leaders soon encountered lapped traffic. With Doar running up high and Hanestad running low, the margin continued to shrink but so did the laps left in the race. Cain was solidly in third while Mike Nutzmann and Mike Goodremote traded the fourth spot back and forth for several laps before Nutzmann locked it in. Current track point leader Brent Larson was slowly working his way forward from his ninth starting spot. As the leaders continued to work lapped traffic, Hanestad was never able to pull within more than a few car lengths of Doar. In the late stages of the race, Doar put three lapped cars between himself and second place enroute to the victory. It was Doar's first main event win of the season after having won a qualifying feature race on Double Feature Night earlier in the season. Hanestad continued his strong performances at CLS with a solid second place finish. Dave Cain, Mike Nutzmann and Brent Larson completed the top five. Mike Goodremote, Rick Egersdorf, Cory Mahder, Marshall Fegers and last week's winner John Kaanta rounded out the top ten.
Racing action continues next week at the Cedar Lake Speedway for the final regular night of competition this season featuring the NASCAR modifieds, super stocks, midwest mods and street stocks. The NASCAR late models have the night off.
