Chateau Speedway kicks off July 4th weekend with racing action

There was plenty of action Friday night at Chateau Speedway in Lansing powered by Garlick’s Water as six classes of cars provided the fireworks to kick off the Fourth of July weekend. Two of the six classes at the track have had a different feature winner every week so all eyes were on the French’s Repair USRA A Mods and the Manke’s Outdoor Hornets to see if those streaks would continue.  And as it turned out they would.
In the USRA A Mod’s Ryan Wetzstein of West Concord claimed his first feature win of the season by .056 of a second over Jason Cummins of New Richland. Wetzstein lead the first several laps before slipping up high in turn 4 on lap 8 to let AJ Zvorak of Blooming Prairie slip by but a lap later in a three-wide scramble into turn three with AJ in the middle of him and Cummins he went back to the point. 
Jason stayed close and made a big push to the inside coming to the checkers that came up just short. Ryan also took over the points lead at Lansing with the win. Cummins did have one of the classes heat wins on the night with the other going to Cole Anderson of Le Center.
In the Hornet class it was a first-time visitor to the track this year, Mike Chadderdon, who saw victory lane for the first time as he worked from row three to the front on lap three and set sail for the win over Colin Wittenberg of Hastings. Maison Poston of Red Wing and Brandon Blanchard of Chester, Iowa scored the classes’ heat wins.
Power 96 Pure Stocks saw Troy Maas of Faribault pick up his first feature win of the year. He became the fourth different feature winner in the classes after six weeks of action. Troy started on the pole and stayed out front from start to finish outdistancing PJ Duchene of Faribault and Devyn Deyo of Chatfield.  Deyo took one of the class’s two heat wins with the other going to Joshua Bentzen of Owatonna.
Chad Schroeder of Belle Plaine became another first-time feature winner at Chateau this summer as he took the Skjeveland Sanitation USRA Stock Car Main Event.  Travis Shipman of Mason City, Iowa who has three feature wins in the class this year lead the first lap as the two cars ran side by side for the first three laps. Schroeder had the advantage on lap two at the line and maintained the lead the rest of the way. Shipman stayed on his back bumper the entire race looking for an opening that never came. Chris Adams of McIntire, Iowa took third. Kevin Vogt of Rose Creek had the class's lone heat win
In Hanson Tire WISSOTA Midwest Modified action Jake Smith of St Joseph scored his second feature win of the season.  Smith caught a break when early race leader Kadden Kath of Ellendale spun while leading.  Jake took over the lead and went on to score a sweep as he also saw the checkers fall his way in his heat,  Greg Pfeifer Junior of Austin came home in second.  Kath did pick up a heat win on the night.
Michael Johnson of Rose Creek picked up his second feature win of the year in the Double M Transport USRA B Mods.  Johnson started in row five and had worked his way up to third when a caution came out on lap 8.  A big push on the restart saw him leapfrog to the lead on lap nine and he stayed there the rest of the way.  Noah Grinstead of Austin held off Hunter Kennedy of St Ansgar Iowa for second.  Kennedy and Scott Demmer of Ellendale had wins in the two heat races for the class.               
The track will be taking next weekend off from its regular racing program however there will be an Enduro on Saturday at 5 p.m. The regular six classes of cars will be back in action the following Friday night, July 15, with the addition of the Mid-American Renegade Sprints.  
The non-wing traditional sprints make their second of three visits to the track this summer.  The first green flag is set to fly at 7:15.
