Columbus 151 Speedway Race Reports

RAIN SHORTENS SHOW AT COLUMBUS 151

By Andrew Schaller
COLUMBUS, WI (Friday, May 08, 2009) - Rain threatened the end the first Friday night racing program of the season at Columbus 151 Speedway all night. Mother Nature finally accomplished that goal with only two races remaining on the schedule for the evening. The 35 lap Late Model main event as well as the Backup feature were washed out and rescheduled for the beginning of next week's program. But four other divisions managed to complete their portion of the program, beginning with Phil Denikas of Columbus taking top honors in the Sportsman feature event.

Tiffany Desjarles and Alex Lee paced the field to green with Desjarles taking the early lead out of turn two. Andy Raley followed Desjarles past Lee into second as the inside lane moved forward. Denikas maneuvered into third and went right to work on Raley for

second. Moving to the high side, Denikas made his way past Raley into the second spot with Jake Wasserburger in tow for third. Denikas immediately motored past the leader on the outside to take the spot for himself while Wasserburger shadowed his every move. The duo began to stretch their advantage while Brandon Riedner and Kevin Anderson were moving forward in the pack. Riedner joined the fight for the lead on lap 16. Wasserburger looked to the outside of Denikas for the lead, but Riedner snuck underneath him and the two battled side by side for second while Denikas watched in his rearview mirror. Denikas stayed in front of the fight for second until the caution waved on lap 28 for raindrops on the speedway. The race was declared complete, handing the victory to Denikas. Rounding out the top five were Wasserburger, Riedner, Anderson and Desjarles.

In Hobby Stock action, Ben Monday of Marshall claimed the 10 feature event. Starting from the pole, Monday took control early with Dustin Ward pulling in behind for second. On lap three, caution waved for raindrops, but the rain stopped shortly thereafter and the race was restarted. Ward looked to the outside of Monday for the top spot, but got loose allowing Kyle Riedner to slip by for second. The leaders raced nose to tail over the final laps with Monday showing the way to the checkers. Riedner was second followed by Ward and Larry Moen.

Kale Peterman of Iron Ridge claimed his second feature in as many weeks in the Thunder Stocks division. Charlie Frisch took the initial lead into turn one of the opening lap with Peterman shooting out behind him. A caution on lap two slowed the field, but as the green returned, Peterman made his move to the front. As Frisch drifted high exiting turn two, Peterman motored past for the lead and never looked back. Peterman raced unchallenged to the stripe for the win followed by Frisch, Scottie Hatton, Josh Steckel and DL Hatton.

In Bandit feature action, Keaton Hubred of Utica claimed the 18 lap main event. Starting from the pole, Hubred claimed the early lead exiting turn two with Brandon Condroski right behind in second. The two leaders began to pull away as Ed Klug entered the top five on lap eight. Klug made his way to third by lap ten as he began closing on the leaders. With five laps remaining, Klug charged around the outside of Condroski and set his sights on Hubred. But Hubred held enough of a lead that Klug could not catch him and he breezed under the checkers for the win. Rounding out the top five were Klug, Condroski, Brandon Junget and Tim Bristol.

Next Friday, May 15, is a full program in all divisions as well as the makeup features from this week for the Late Models and Backups. Also, residents of Sun Prairie and Bristol receive $2 off admission. Time trials begin at 6:30 with racing at 8pm. Please visit www.columbus151.com for more information.

Ben Monday won the Hobby Stock Feature.


By the half way mark # 7 Phil Denikas was in the position to overtake # 8 Tiffany Desjarles for the lead in the Street Stock Feature.


With only 2 laps to go in the  Street Stock Feature, # 7 Phil Denikas was doing his best to hold off a hard charging # 4D Bud Riedner and # 32 Jake Wasserburger before rain came and brought a premature end to the evenings events.


Keaton Hubred ran away with the  Bandit Feature.


Reiny Scherbarth Sr surely didn't want to finish the night riding on the outside of the car but a tussle during the Thunderstock Feature ended it early.


Kale Peterman won the Thunderstock Feature.
