September 15-17, 2005; Mansfield Ohio Speedway - Dale qualified 16th out of 75 cars.  Only the top 2 were locked in from qualifying.  The rest need to race in from the qualifying races.  The top 2 from each race advance to the show. Dale started his heat race on the outside of the front row, but had a loose race car for the first few laps of the 15 lap event.  Dale finished 4th and attempt to race in through the B-Main, but fell short with a 7th place finish.  Although he didn't make the race, he was very excited with his qualifying efforts against 75 considering this was his first time at this track.

 

September 11, 2005; Slinger Speedway  - Ron Schmitt ran off with the victory in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature after surviving a green-white-checkered finish and crossing the stripe ahead of Steve Huelsbeck and Wes Biswell.

Eddie Bentfield and Bill Tandetzke led the field to the green and Tandetzke used the outer groove to take the lead at the completion of lap one. Schmitt, who started fourth, also took to the outside and raced into second place on lap two. A lap later, Schmitt blasted his way by Tandetzke and into the lead while farther back, Biswell and Huelsbeck began to work their way forward. Huelsbeck and Biswell worked their way through the field and occupied the second and third places respectively by lap 15 as Schmitt continued to lead. Tandetzke held down the fourth spot and was fending off Dale Prunty for the position as the first caution flag flew on lap 17 when Brad Smith spun his car on the frontstretch. Schmitt continued to show the way on the restart as Prunty and Jason Feyereisen continued to work on Tandetzke for the fourth spot. The final caution flag flew with two laps to go as Terry Helmbrecht and Bentfield tangled in turn three to set up the green-white-checkered finish. Schmitt held his own over the final two laps and raced to the win over Huelsbeck and Biswell as both Feyereisen and Prunty were able to pass Tandetzke over the final laps to finish fourth and fifth respectively. Prunty’s fifth place finish wrapped up the 2005 Slinger Track Championship in the Midwest Modified division.

Huelsbeck won the fast dash earlier in the evening and Prunty led qualifying with a lap of 12.293 seconds.

September 4, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Steve Schulz turned back all challenges to win the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature, taking the win over Ron Schmitt and Dale Prunty.

The race got off to a rocky start as several cars including Eddie Bentfield, Joe Houpt and Dale Prunty made contact at the drop of the green, sending them spinning to the infield. The second attempt at starting the race was much better as Schulz charged into the lead over Ron Schmitt and Jason Feyereisen. Wes Biswell advanced forward in the early laps, taking over third place by lap five as Schulz continued to lead. David McCardle entered the top five and began to race with Feyereisen for position by lap 13 and two laps later, both drivers tangled in turn one to produce a caution flag with Schulz leading Schmitt and Biswell. Schulz was never headed over the final laps and raced to the win while Schmitt finished in second place. Dale Prunty rebounded from his earlier misfortunes and he was able to snag third place from Biswell at the finish. Steve Huelsbeck completed the top five.

Schulz also was victorious in the fast dash and Feyereisen was the fastest qualifier after turning in a lap in 12.347 seconds.

August 28, 2005; Slinger Speedway -  Wes Biswell led flag to flag en route to the victory in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature but the win was anything but easy as he had to hold off a hard charging Dale Prunty at the stripe.

Biswell grabbed the lead immediately at the start of the event and began to distance himself from the field as Steve Huelsbeck, Ron Schmitt, Steve Schulz, and Prunty all raced in two-by-two formation for second with Schmitt and Schulz working the outside groove and Huelsbeck and Prunty taking to the inside. The four car battle over second straightened itself out when the drivers encountered lapped traffic and Prunty came out on top of the scramble, taking over second place with Huelsbeck squeezing in for third place ahead of Schmitt and Schulz. As Prunty began to track down Biswell for the lead, Schulz went to the outside and rim-rode his way around to pull alongside Schmitt for second as Huelsbeck remained in the battle as well. Schulz’s drive toward the front stalled on lap 19, however, as he slid high in turn four allowing Huelsbeck and Schmitt to go by and bringing Jason Feyereisen into the top five. Over the final five laps, Prunty closed the gap between himself and Biswell for the lead, pulling to Biswell’s rear bumper at the white flag. Prunty made a last attempt for the win on the outside in turn four but Biswell was too strong off the corner and claimed the win with Prunty close behind in second. Huelsbeck finished in third place while Feyereisen and Schmitt rounded out the top five.

Huelsbeck took top honors in the Midwest Modified fast dash and Steve Schultz set fast time with a lap of 12.279 seconds.

 

August 21, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Steven Schulz left the field in his mirrors as he cruised to victory in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature.  Schulz started from the outside of the front row and out-gunned Eddie Bentfield to take command of the race at the start. Ron Schmitt kept Schulz honest throughout most of the event as he stayed in Schulz’s tracks while Wes Biswell raced with Steve Huelsbeck and Jason Feyereisen for third. The top five remained static and Schulz saw his lead grow on lap 16 when Schmitt slid wide in turn two. Schulz was unchallenged on his way to the checkered flag and scored a comfortable win over Schmitt and Biswell. Huelsbeck and Feyereisen rounded out the top five.

Schmitt was also the winner of the fast dash and Dale Prunty paced qualifying, turning in a lap of 12.293 seconds.

 

August 14, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Russ Grade left the field in his mirrors as he raced to the win in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature.

Grade started the event from the pole position and led at the outset as Steve Huelsbeck moved forward to challenge Eddie Bentfield for second. Huelsbeck completed the pass a few laps later as Grade continued to lead. Two of the division’s hotshoes experienced trouble almost simultaneously as fast qualifier Jason Feyereisen dropped off the pace with mechanical problems and Dale Prunty spun around in turn four after contact with another car as the field remained under the green. Steve Schulz, Wes Biswell, and Ron Schmitt all made their way by Bentfield to advance into the top five just before the caution flew on lap eight when Bentfield looped around in turn four. Grade led on the restart over Huelsbeck and Schulz as Biswell battled Schmitt over the fourth spot. Schulz jumped to the outside lane and challenged Huelsbeck for second and their tussle allowed Grade to streak ahead. Huelsbeck and Schulz remained side by side for several laps as Grade continued to extend his lead while Biswell and Schmitt also raced alongside each other. Relatively unchallenged throughout the closing laps, Grade raced to the victory while Huelsbeck turned back Schulz for second. Schmitt nipped Biswell at the finish to grab fourth place, leaving Biswell to settle for fifth.

Huelsbeck took top honors in the Midwest Modified fast dash and Jason Feyereisen blistered qualifying with a lap of 12.296 seconds.

 

August 7, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Dale Prunty charged to the win in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature, taking the checkered flag about four car lengths ahead of Steven Schulz.

Russ Moberly and Eddie Bentfield led the field to the green and Moberly used the inside to gain the top spot while Russ Grade slipped into second, dropping Bentfield to third. Moberly led the opening lap as Grade made the move to the inside in a bid for the lead and the ensuing contact resulted in Moberly spinning and Grade ending up parked on top of Moberly’s machine while the caution flag waved. Bentfield inherited the lead for the restart and he led the second lap before once again, the caution flew as David McCardle and Jason Feyereisen tangled in turn one, leaving McCardle spun around at the inside of the track.

Bentfield maintained his lead on the restart over Prunty and Schulz while Steve Huelsbeck and Ron Schmitt followed. Prunty worked over Bentfield for the lead on lap six and Schulz followed a lap later to claim second. Huelsbeck and Schmitt also were able to pass Bentfield a few laps later as Schulz looked to the inside and outside for a way around Prunty for the lead. Bentfield held on to the fifth spot until lap 22 when he spun in turn four, moving Feyereisen and Wes Biswell into a battle for the spot. Prunty stayed smooth over the closing laps and held off Schulz for the win. Huelsbeck finished in third place and Schmitt crossed the stripe in fourth place. The battle between Feyereisen and Biswell boiled over on the final corner and they tangled on the front stretch, allowing Bill Tandetzke to finish fifth.

Earlier in the evening, Russ Grade won the fast dash and Steven Schulz set fast time after turning in a qualifying lap of 12.319 seconds.

 

July 31, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Steve Schulz took the lead early and then held off a hard charging Jason Feyereisen to win the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature.

Ron Schmitt and Schulz led the field to the green flag and Schulz used the outside lane to gain the top spot upon the completion of lap two. Schmitt stuck with the bottom while Feyereisen also looked to the top as they battled for second with Schulz remaining out front. Dale Prunty and Steve Huelsbeck followed close behind the lead trio as the top five ran nose to tail. A spin by David McCardle in turn three on lap eight produced the first and only caution flag of the race with Schulz leading Feyereisen, Schmitt, and Prunty.

Schulz and Feyereisen were ready for the restart and they got a slight jump as racing resumed, pulling away from Schmitt, Prunty, and Huelsbeck. By lap 15, Schulz still led Feyereisen who looked both high and low for way around while Prunty tracked them down, setting up a three-car battle for the lead. As the top three fought for position, Schmitt and Huelsbeck also staged a tussle for the fourth spot. Schulz hit his marks over the final laps and was able to hold off Feyereisen for the win by about a car-length. Prunty finished a close third while Schmitt edged Huelsbeck at the stripe to finish fourth, leaving Huelsbeck to settle for fifth.

Schmitt was the winner of the fast dash and Feyereisen was the fastest qualifier of the evening, turning in a lap of 12.241 seconds.

 

July 24, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Steve Huelsbeck led flag-to-flag en route to the victory in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature.

Huelsbeck started from the pole and used the inside lane to take the lead, bringing Wes Biswell and Ron Schmitt with him while outside front row starter fell back into a battle with Russ Moberly and Jason Feyeresien over the fourth position. With everyone trying to get to the bottom lane, some bumper tag occurred throughout the field and in the ensuing traffic jam, Moberly and Eddie Bentfield spun in turn four on lap two to draw a caution flag.

Huelsebeck led Biswell and Schmitt on the restart while Feyereisen and Dale Prunty held down the fourth and fifth spots respectively. Huelsebeck and Biswell jumped out ahead as the green reappeared while Feyereisen and Prunty pressured Schmitt for third. Contact between the three on lap 19 slowed them down slightly and allowed Huelsbeck and Biswell to pull away. Huelsbeck drove the final laps flawlessly and drove to the checkered flag for the win while Biswell finished a close second. Feyereisen was able to get around Schmitt in the closing laps and crossed the stripe in third place while Schmitt and Prunty rounded out the top five.

Earlier in the night, Biswell won the fast dash and Feyereisen was the fastest qualifier at 12.283 seconds.

July 17, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Steve Schulz took the lead early on in the Midwest Modified 25-lap feature and held off charges by Dale Prunty and Ron Schmitt to score the win.

Schulz took the green flag from the outside of the front row and used the outside groove to battle Joe Houpt for the top spot during the opening two laps. Schulz eventually powered his way into the lead while Wes Biswell and Dale Prunty also took to the high side to work their way around Houpt and into second and third place respectively. Schulz continued to lead over Biswell and Prunty on lap ten while Schmitt and Jason Feyereisen entered the top five. Prunty was able to maneuver his way by Biswell for second place and began to track down Schulz as the field slowed under the caution flag for a spin by David McCardle in turn four. Schulz led Prunty on the restart and the top two ran nose to tail while Schmitt began to work on Biswell for third. McCardle and Roger Schmid tangled in turn four on lap 18 and once again the yellow flag appeared. As was the case a few laps earlier, Schulz was able to get a small jump on Prunty as the green reappeared. Over the closing laps, Prunty could close to Schulz’s bumper but was unable to mount a serious challenge as Schulz drove to the victory. Prunty settled for second while Schmitt came out on top of a wild scramble for third place at the checkered flag, edging Biswell and Feyereisen.

Earlier in the evening, Schulz won the fast dash and Feyereisen was the fastest qualifier at 12.340 seconds.

 

July 10, 2005; Slinger Speedway - The win was his second in three weeks at the high-banked .25-mile oval. Two-time defending track champion Dale Prunty took the lead on lap 10 and cruised to victory in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature.   In the Midwest Modified feature, Russ Grade led the field with Wes Biswell, Prunty and Steven Schulz in tow. Prunty wasted no time in working to the front, taking the runner-up position from Biswell on lap five before working around Grade five laps later.

Once out front, Prunty motored to the checkered ahead of Grade, Biswell, fast qualifier Jason Feyereisen and Schulz. With his win, Prunty took over the divisions championship point lead.

 

July 4, 2005; Slinger Speedway - The Midwest Modified feature provided the most excitement on the evening and when it was over, Ron Schmitt edged Dale Prunty to win the 25-lap event.

Schmitt took the lead at the drop of the green flag over Russ Moberly and David McCardle while Steve Huelsbeck, Steven Schulz, and Prunty followed. Roger Schmid spun on lap two and was able to continue as the race remained under green. As Schmid came back up to speed he found himself directly in front of the lead battle between Schmitt and Prunty. The leaders were unable to pass the lapped car, which tightly bunched the field, resulting in some close contact racing, but everyone kept their cars under control. Debris on the speedway on lap 21 brought out the caution flag to unwind the field for the single file restart. As the race resumed, Prunty went to work on getting around Schmitt for the lead. With two laps remaining, the leaders made slight contact but once again, they straightened out their cars with Schmitt choosing the low groove and Prunty racing up top. On the final lap the two ran side by side with Prunty making a final run toward the checkered flag. Prunty’s run came up short as Schmitt powered off the final turn to take the victory by less than a car length. Schulz finished in third place ahead of Huelsbeck and Wes Biswell.

Huelsbeck won the Midwest Modified fast dash and Jason Feyereisen circled the speedway in 12.099 seconds which netted him fast time on the night.

 

June 26, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Wes Biswell led wire to wire and drove to the win in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature.

Biswell started on the pole and quickly moved out front as Ron Schmitt, Steve Schulz, and David McCardle disputed positions behind him. Some very hard racing between them shook up the standings and produced some tense moments but when all was settled by lap 10, Biswell led Schulz, Dale Prunty, Schmitt, and Jason Feyereisen. Feyereisen worked his way forward into a battle with Schulz for second place by lap 20 as Biswell continued to lead. Schulz and Feyereisen tangled together in turn one two laps later, resulting in a caution flag and sending both to the rear of the field for the restart. That moved Prunty into second behind Biswell while Schmitt held down third place in front of Steve Huelsbeck and Roger Schmid as racing resumed. Prunty did all he could to catch Biswell, looking both high and low but he could not make a challenge as Biswell raced to the win. Prunty settled for second place while Huelsbeck finished in third. Schmitt crossed the stripe in fourth place while Russ Grade rounded out the top five.

Biswell also won the fast dash and Prunty turned in an extremely fast qualifying lap of 12.181 seconds.

 

June 19, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Russ Grade took advantage of a late race bobble by Joe Houpt and drove to his first feature victory of the season in the 25-lap Midwest Modified main event.

Houpt outgunned Roger Schmid at the drop of the green flag to claim the lead while Grade and Ron Schmitt filled the gap on the inside lane to shuffle Schmid back to fourth in the early laps. Schmid spun on lap eight while running fourth but the race remained under green with Houpt leading Grade, Schmitt, Jason Feyereisen, and Steve Schulz. The top five ran nose-to-tail as the lead pack encountered lapped cars with Houpt remaining in command of the event, in search of his first career Slinger feature victory. However, the handling on Houpt’s car began to fade in the waning laps and he began to kick loose exiting the corners, opening up the inside for Grade to make a bid for the lead. With two laps to go, Grade made his move and muscled his way around Houpt to take the top spot. With Houpt caught on the outside, Schmitt and Feyereisen were also able to get by as the white flag was displayed. Grade held his line and drove to the win over Schmitt and Feyereisen while Houpt had to settle for a fourth place finish, just ahead of Schulz who crossed the stripe in fifth.

Earlier in the evening, Schmitt captured the victory in the fast dash and Feyereisen turned in a qualifying lap of 12.302 seconds and was the evening’s fastest qualifier.

 

 

 

June 12, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Dale Prunty took top honors in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature, holding off Steve Huelsbeck at the finish.

Roger Schmid started on the pole and led the beginning laps as fellow front-row starter Eddie Bentfield raced alongside. Behind them, Huelsbeck, Prunty, Ron Schmitt, and Dave McCardle scrambled for track position as the field circled the speedway in a tightly bunched group. Huelsbeck and Prunty worked their way to the outside and propelled themselves by Schmid and Bentfield on lap four to take the top two spots. Huelsbeck continued to lead with Prunty in his tire tracks while Schmitt and McCardle were joined by Wes Biswell in the fight for third. Prunty remained in the high groove and eventually was able to squeeze by to take command of the event on lap 13. Once out front, Prunty was never headed as he drove to the win over Huelsbeck and Schmitt. Biswell won a hard fought battle with McCardle to finish fourth, leaving McCardle to settle for a fifth place finish.

Huelsbeck was the winner of the Midwest Modified fast dash and Jason Feyereisen set fast time with a lap of 12.272 seconds.

 

 

 

 

June 5, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Ron Schmitt led flag to flag to take top honors in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature, holding off Dale Prunty and Steve Schulz at the finish.

The event got off to a rocky start as fast qualifier Jason Feyereisen got loose in turn four and smacked the frontstretch wall on the first lap with Schmitt leading over Russ Grade and Steve Huelsbeck. On the restart, Schmitt once again raced out front while the cars behind him ran side by side in a pack. Contact between them, momentarily scattered the cars and strung out the field with Schmitt leading Grade, Huelsbeck, Wes Biswell, Dale Prunty, and David McCardle. Biswell and McCardle tangled on lap 16 to bring out the only caution of the race with Schmitt continuing to lead. As racing resumed, Schmitt held a steady lead while Prunty and Steve Schulz sliced their way through the field and into second and third place respectively. Schmitt drove to the victory while Prunty and Schulz finished second and third. Huelsbeck was fourth and Grade was fifth.

Steve Huelsbeck won the fast dash and Jason Feyereisen was the fastest qualifier after touring the speedway in 12.243 seconds.

 

May 29, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Jason Feyereisen took the lead from Hartland’s Russ Grade on lap 10 and held off a determined Dale Prunty, of Allenton, to capture the Midwest Modified feature. Fast qualifier Steve Schulz, of Waukesha, settled for third in the race that ran caution free. Grade and Sussex driver Wes Biswell rounded out the top five.

 

May 22, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Steve Huelsbeck walked away from the field to take home a convincing win in the 25-lap Midwest Modified feature.

Huelsbeck immediately used the outside groove to take the lead at the start while Russ Moberly, Ron Schmitt, and Wes Biswell battled for second. The side by side racing for second allowed Huelsbeck to check out on the rest of the competitors and he built up a lead of nearly a straightaway by lap 10. Biswell finally got the outside lane to work and was able to pass Moberly for second as Steve Schulz and Dale Prunty entered the picture, setting up a four-car battle for third.

 

Prunty’s car handled well on the high side and he soon advanced to third place while Schulz began to slide around up top and fell back into a race for the fourth spot with Schmitt and Jason Feyereisen. As the laps wound down, the only difficulty Huelsbeck encountered was having to avoid Bill Tandetzke’s spun car on the final lap as he drove to his first feature victory of the season. Biswell finished a strong second and Prunty crossed the line in third. Schmitt and Schulz rounded out the top five.

Earlier in the evening, Schmitt took top honors in the fast dash and Feyereisen set fast time with a lap of 12.231 seconds.

 

May 15, 2005; Slinger Speedway - David McCardle drove to his first career feature victory in an exciting 25-lap Midwest Modified main event.

McCardle started on the pole and ran the opening laps alongside fellow front row starter Russ Moberly while Steve Huelesbeck, Wes Biswell, and Jason Feyereisen followed in their tire tracks. The field began to string out on lap four as McCardle jumped into the lead while those behind him fell in line after Biswell experienced mechanical problems and exited the race. With McCardle comfortably out front, the battle for second place between Huelesbeck and Feyereisen heated up as they ran door to door in the middle stages. Huelesbeck worked the inside line and Feyereisen held the high side while Dale Prunty and Steve Schulz closed in right behind them. Huelesbeck muscled his way into second place on lap 15 and the move dropped Feyereisen back to fifth as Prunty and Schulz raced by on the inside. In the waning laps, McCardle’s lead began to shrink and at the white flag he found himself alongside a lapped car with the rest of the top five cars glued to his bumper. The tangle of cars racing for the win produced some fireworks on the final lap as contact between them resulted in Prunty spinning in turn three while McCardle held on for the win. Huelesbeck finished second and Feyereisen was third. Schulz and Ron Schmitt rounded out the top five.

Wes Biswell was the winner of the fast dash and Schulz set fast time with a blistering lap of 12.081 seconds.

 

 

May 8, 2005; Slinger Speedway - Ron Schmitt drove to a convincing win in the eventful 25-lap Midwest Modified feature.   Dave McCardle and Steve Huelesbeck led the field the green and battled side by side for two laps before Huelesbeck wound his car up on the outside to take the lead. McCardle settled into second place just ahead of Wes Biswell, Jason Feyereisen, and Dale Prunty. Huelesbeck’s car developed transmission problems as flames shot out from under it as he entered turn one while leading on lap five to bring out the first caution flag. McCardle took over the lead for the restart but Feyereisen quickly got around him on lap six and began to pull away from the field. Schmitt worked his way into the top five and a few laps later, he also made his way around McCardle to grab second place. Feyereisen appeared to have the event in hand but he too found misfortune at the head of the pack as his car also developed mechanical problems and retired from the race on lap 19, handing the lead to Schmitt. Schmitt maintained his advantage over McCardle while Biswell and Steve Schulz staged a spirited battle over the third position. Schmitt handily won the event to claim his first feature victory of the season while McCardle finished a strong second. Schulz edged Biswell for third place while Russ Moberly rounded out the top five.

In other Midwest Modified action, Dale Prunty won the fast dash and Schulz was the fastest qualifier with a lap of 12.285 seconds.

May 1, 2005; Slinger Speedway - The races were "snowed out"!  In an effort to get some racing in, they decided to speed up the events, so all fast dashes were skipped and they jumped straight to the first Late Model feature.  They were also able to get the Sportsman feature in as well.  The Modifieds did not have a chance to race before the sleet and snow came down.  Dale Prunty had fast time for the Modifieds turning a 12.205 lap.
