BUTZ DOUBLES UP ON NORWAY FEATURES – SCHIEFELBEIN COPS SUPER STOCK ACTION
(Norway, MI) June 18 – Green Bay’s Chad Butz sped to a pair of late model feature wins at Norway Speedway Friday.
Meanwhile Pembine’s Anthony Schiefelbein fought off late race pressure from point leader Joey Pontbriand to capture the super stock feature. With the win Schiefelbein snapped Pontbriand’s streak of three feature wins in a row.
In the first late model main Butz passed Scott Stanchina for the lead on lap 11 and never relinquished the top spot.
In the second late model feature Kaukauna’s Will Timmers made contact with Robby Iverson at the drop of the green. Timmers car flew into the outside retaining wall. Timmers was shook up but the wreck sidelined him for the contest.
Butz wasted little time getting to the front and cruised to victory.
The super stock main was marred by several wrecks – one of which sent Pontbriand flying off the paved third-mile and onto the fairgrounds horse track. The Norway driver drove his machine into the pits and rejoined the contest. With his battered machine, Pontbriand remained competitive and despite pitting a second time was able to thread his way through the field in the caution-plagued event. Pontbriand pressured Schiefelbein in the waning laps but the Pembine driver was up for the challenge and scored the win.
Hermansville’s Dean Bellmore dodged a late race surge from Faithorn’s Trevor Cronick to emerge triumphant in the four-banger feature. In stock car action Aurora’s Gary Thom returned to the class he competed in a season ago to capture the feature win.
Next Friday night June 25 Sayklly’s Candles presents the popular Hall of Fame/Roy Allard Memorial night. A fireworks display will take place at the conclusion of racing.
All Veteran’s will be admitted free of charge. The Class of 2021 for the HOF includes long time track announcer and U.P. radio voice John Koehler, former racers Fred Gignac and Pat Temple, longtime wrecker volunteer and DCRA board member Brian Swanson and former racer and current NASCAR Cup crew chief Greg Ives.
Racing gets underway at 7 p.m.
