Fire Cracker 25

Brad Loyet WINS!

Missouri’s Brad Loyet made it four straight feature wins at Angell Park Speedway, as he took the Firecracker 25. The main event saw Jason Dull and Aaron Fiscus lead the field to the green. It was a drag race between the two down the backstretch, where Fiscus won the battle into the third turn. From here Fiscus paced the field for the next five laps until Loyet slid under him in turn-four. With that, Fiscus got his car high and in trying to gain control, headed down toward the inner guardrail, as the field came toward him. Chad DeSelle did an excellent job as he swung high, just narrowly missing Fiscus.

The restart had Loyet in front followed by Scott Hatton, DeSelle, Mike Hess and Matt Smith. Hatton stuck to Loyet when racing resumed, but Loyet quickly put distance between the two. On the tenth lap, Hatton rode against the turn-four wall and appeared to be stuck in that cycle, but just as the yellow came out, he freed himself and continued on, as if all was well. The next restart had Hess in second and Hatton in third.

But, it was more of the same as Loyet got no initial jump on Hess, but freed himself from Hess in short order. With eight to go, Eric Johnson spun in front of the leaders. Loyet got by without issue, but similar to the earlier DeSelle maneuver. Hess just missed a bad wreck as he wheeled around Johnson.

In the end, Loyet survived two more yellows, including a near flip by David Budres, to score the win. Hess and Hatton ran an entertaining race as Hatton proved there were two grooves in trying to beat Hess, as Hess stayed on the cushion and Hatton had the huggy pole. In the end Hess prevailed for the runner up spot, followed by Hatton, DeSelle and Smith.

Asked by emcee Dennis Thompson, what he thought of Angell Park Speedway, Loyet told the fans, what several drivers learned on the night, "It will bite you if you run it wrong."

In other action, Fiscus took the low line for the first heat only to have rookie Courtney Erfurth wheeled around him on the high side in turn-two. On the third lap, Fiscus again went low on her at the line, but Erfurth again fought him off. On the next lap, in the fourth corner Erfurth jumped the cushion, but gathered it quickly enough that Fiscus couldn’t capitalize. In the end Erfurth became one of the most popular winners this year as she cruised to a five length victory over Fiscus, who had five lengths between himself and Hess.

In the Victory Lane interview Erfurth told the crowd, "I used to be one of you sitting up there dreaming of this." Asked about the race she admitted, "It was kind of intimidating seeing Aaron," on the bottom line. Lastly, asked if she’d like to come back, she quickly replied, "I’ve been here since I was three weeks old, I’ll come back here every day of the week!"

Hatton was the fast timer on the night and won the Dash. Smith won the qualifying race and Bubba Altig won the second heat.

A special race, with over 750 donated dollars was run, dubbed the "Firecracker Shootout." Nine cars raced with the winner taking $250, $250 going to a random draw of the drivers participating and the balance shared among the rest. Scott Hatton won the race and now is the race record holder for the fastest nine lap race at Angell Park Speedway.

At the end of the event, fans were treated to a fireworks display sponsored by Evergreen State Bank.

Next Sunday Badger and the Illini Racing Series will be in action. In a twist, the IRS has put a $300 bounty on Kurt Mayhew and anyone who can beat him in the feature will take home the bounty money.

New programs starting at Angell Park.

Every once in a while an organization gets lucky enough to find an employee that is great at what they do.  Angell Park has gotten lucky enough to find a kitchen manager that is not only great at what he does, he is passionate about it. The 2008 season was Tom Culbertson’s first year running the kitchen and to be honest, he had some tough times, but that didn’t slow him down one bit. The Angell Park board made a decision to hire Tom and they were sticking with him. After the 2008 season, Tom set out to make the 2009 season better than his rookie season.  Tom will be the first one to tell you that change will come slow at the historic Angell Park Speedway, but he’s asking all the right questions. When Tom hears that we have always done it a certain way, well, let’s just say he doesn’t automatically assume that it’s the right way. Starting in 2009, Tom is launching a “New Products” kitchen. This stand will debut new food items over the 2009 season to see what our fans like, without disrupting our current menu. So look for this new food stand and try out our new items. Most importantly, let us know what you think!

The second thing Tom is doing is requesting your feedback.  He wants to hear about your concession experience, the good and the bad. If he’s doing something right he wants to hear it, if there is something that could be better, by all means he wants to hear that too. Tom’s not promising change overnight, but he will listen and move things in the right direction. Comments can to be sent to Tom at Kitchen@angellpark.com 

Every week starting June 14th we will draw a name from all the comments Tom receives. One lucky winner will come down to the lower kitchen to meet Tom, discuss your comments and best of all, Tom’s going to have some free concession items for you.

So please email you comments to Kitchen@angellpark.com. Include your name so we can call you down to meet Tom and enjoy some of Angell Park’s concessions.

PLEASE NOTE, for our fans who come to Angell Park via Highway 151 and Main St., Main St. is under construction from the area of Walmart, until about five blocks from Downtown. When coming via Hwy 151 take Hwy 19 (Windsor St.) into town. Go about one mile to the T intersection and then take a right on highway "N" (Bristol St.), go about six blocks more and you’re on Main St. and Downtown. Go left (or east) on Main and you’ll see the arrow pointing to the track in about three blocks.

NOTE FURTHER, you can still get to all of the businesses including McGovern’s via Main St. Main St. is not closed but it’s down to one lane in each direction and that route should be reserved for those who want to do business with establishments in the construction area.

Thanks for understanding and cooperating!

 

 

Fantasy Midget Signup begins Sunday May 10th

The Fantasy Midget contest at www.angellpark.com is back for another season of fun. It is based on the events at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Like last year, we will have an esteemed panel of experts pitting their knowledge of midget racing against some of the most knowledgeable fans in the world.

Fans from across the globe are encouraged to play against not only our ringers, but also their own family, friends and fellow midget racing fans. On the site players will be able to check their weekly performance and how they are doing in the season-long point chase.

Players that can beat our entire group of experts will be eligible for prizes. Last year Angell Park Speedway gave away hundreds of dollars in food and drink certificates to fans who made the grade. The park will again ante up the certificates for 2009. But, you don’t have to come to the races for a chance to enjoy part of the booty. We have been known to ship other prizes throughout the nation and across the ocean.

Please check Angell Park Speedway for complete rules and be sure to get your entries in for the 2009 season opener May 17.
