106 cars and stars showed up to compete on Police, Fire, and Emergency Services night at the races.  With the weather finally turning for the better the action on the track heated up to match the rising temperatures.

The Seubert Calf Ranches Late model feature kicked off with Joel Bennett taking full advantage of his pole position starting spot to grab the lead at the drop of the green.  Bennett started to walk away from the field until caution slowed the pace on lap 8.  Even with the field bunched back up Bennett opened a gap on the field once again.  At the halfway mark Bennett held court over Gunner Frank, Todd Frank, Nick Anvelink, and Brett Swedberg.  The top five remained unchanged over the final half of the race and Bennett secured his second win of the season and completed the clean sweep by also locking up a heat race win earlier in the event.

The Arenson Well Drilling IMCA Modified A-main saw Daniel Wilcox lead the opening lap but faced immediate and heavy pressure from the 52 machine of Dylon Waldvogel.  Wilcox ran the low line, hugging the infield tractor tires, while Waldvogel slid through the middle of the track.  While that pair battled side by side Skyler Woods moved into 3rd on lap 5.  Up front Waldvogel found the momentum on the higher line to secure the lead on lap 7.  At the halfway mark Waldvogel set the pace over Wilcox, Woods, Jayden Schmidt, and Dan Roedl.  As the double checkers flew it was Waldvogel locking up the win, Jayden Schmidt took advantage of some late race cautions to finish 2nd after starting 10th, Woods was 3rd, The Hitman Johnny Whitman 4th, and Wilcox rounded out the top 5.

The Monroe Truck Equipment IMCA Stock Cars took to the track with a 1000 dollar top prize on the line.  The draw\redraw format for the night saw point leader and defending track champion, Brett Wenzel, start on the outside of the front row.  This advantage helped Wenzel rocket to the lead at the drop of the green.  With Wenzel looking to check out on the field Tyler Wendt emerged from the pack to grab the runner up spot.  By the halfway mark Wenzel led Wendt, Brandon Czarapata, Dan Sell Jr., and Presley Harrington.  Lap 11 saw Czarapata slip past Wendt into 2nd.  As the dust cleared at the finish Wenzel captured the win and the $1000 top prize.  Harrington used the closing laps to wrestle away 2nd from Czarapata, Chase Parker completed a strong run with a 4th place finish after starting 16th, and Jerry Wilinski closed out the top 5.

The Trailer Express IMCA Northern Sport Mod A main event had Jordan Gracyalny grab the early lead but surrendered it to Jared Spaulding on lap 2.  Lap 4 saw JJ Vanderloop slip past Gracyalny to 3rd.  Ryan Schmidt worked towards the front as the leaders traded positions and launched his 464 machine into the lead running the outside line on lap 10.  At the finish it was Schmidt locking up the win, Vanderloop was 2nd, Spaulding 3rd. Jordan Janke 4th, and Max Oreskovich was 5th.

The Midwest Equipment Dock and Lift Service IMCA Sport Compact feature closed out the night with Bella Schulte leading the opening lap but her time at the front was short lived as Bo White worked the high side into the lead on lap 2.  White held the point until lap 6 when Cody Booth shot into the top spot.  As the checkers flew Booth held on for the win, Ben Schulte was 2nd, Brett Deprez 3rd, Jesse Schulte 4th, and Logan Boehnlein was 5th.  Post race saw both Schultes disqualified in tech and the top 5 ended up being Booth, Deprez, Boehnlein, White, and Kyle Jorgenson.

Outagamie Speedway powered by Klink Equipment & Holtger Brothers Inc will be back in action next Friday night June 5th.  The Seubert Calf Ranches Late Models will be on hand as 6 big divisions will take to the track.  The Trailer Express IMCA Northern Sport Mods will be battling for $1000 to win.  The green flag will drop at 6:30!
