Pat Doar Defends MTH Fall Classic presented by FYE Motorsports Title
Ogilvie, MN (October 10, 2020) – Saturday night was the second and final night of the 17th Annual MTH Fall Classic presented by FYE Motorsports. The Limited Late Models were added to Saturday Night’s program which brought the official car count to 322 a new Fall Classic Event record!
11 Limited Late Models entered the pits and their heat was the first race of the night. Dylan Kromschroeder and Joe Provinzino brought the drivers to green. Provinzino built up a solid lead before the first caution flew.
As the race progressed, cars began dropping to the infield like flies and as the checkers were raised, only four cars remained. Provinzino took the win.
The WISSOTA Streets Stocks were the first feature event of the night. Andrew Hanson and Justin Vogel brought the drivers to the stand and Hanson grabbed the lead. Kyle Dykhoff slid into second and remained close to Hanson. As the top two drivers pulled away from the field, the yellow waved and drivers were slowed. Hanson was in command on the restart but Dykhoff slid by. Vogel moved into second and tucked in behind Dykhoff. After another caution, Vogel, Jim Gullikson and Hanson battled three wide for second. Vogel retook the point and chased after Dykhoff while Ryan Satter came through the field. Satter started ninth and moved into third while Vogel worked Dykhoff. Vogel dove low on the track and slid up to make his move, but the yellow waved. Dykhoff led the drivers back to green and the top drivers all kept close. Satter moved to Dykhoff’s door and slid into the lead. Dykhoff held second but saw Parker Anderson out the corner of his eye. Anderson started in the 17th point, raced his way in through the B Feature and challenged Dykhoff for second. Satter led the final laps and took the first feature win of the Fall Classic. Anderson, Dykhoff, Vogel and Hanson wrapped up the top points.
The WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds were next to run their race with Jason VandeKamp and Travis Schulte on the front row. VandeKamp took the immediate lead with Schulte and Eric Lamm as the top drivers. Drivers began to spread out on the track as the yellow waved. VandeKamp led the drivers back to green and within a couple laps he built up nearly a straight away lead. Contact occurred on the backstretch and the race went red to sort out the cars. When the race resumed, the action on the track began to really heat up. Multiple drivers pulled slid jobs to further their positions, but contact occurred, and drivers sat in turn two. On the restart, Schulte kept pressure on VandeKamp. VandeKamp maintained his first position but Schulte and Dave Cain were ready to move. On the next restart, Cain and Schulte took VandeKamp’s sides and they raced three wide. VandeKamp nosed ahead but Cain and Schulte didn’t back down. The top three drivers kept close and Schulte was eager to get the win. VandeKamp didn’t want to lose his race long lead, so as the checkers were raised, they drag raced to the finish line. Schulte’s #3t crossed the line first giving him the exciting win. VandeKamp finished second with Cain, Matt Baker and Zach Benson as the top five finishers.
The WISSOTA Late Models struggled to get their feature underway with a handful of cautions within the first few laps. Jesse Glenz led through the cautions and held the lead while Pat Doar ran in second. Glenz pulled away from the pack while James Giossi closed in on Doar. With the half-way flags displayed, the top drivers were with slower cars. Doar caught Glenz with Giossi not far behind when Glenz tried to make a move. Glenz got out of the groove which allowed Doar to take over the lead. Giossi moved into the second point when more cautions were triggered. Doar led the drivers back to green in single file, and they were able to finish the race. Doar took the win with Giossi, Dan Ebert, A.J. Diemel and Marshall Fegers in top points.
After some track maintenance, the WISSOTA Modifieds took the track. A.J. Diemel and Jake Hartung battled side by side for a few laps until Diemel broke away with the lead point. The top three drivers broke away from the pack with Diemel finding slower traffic. The yellow then waved for debris on the track and the drivers were realigned. Diemel brought the drivers back to green, however Hartung spun and drivers scattered in the turn. Diemel was still in charge when the race resumed but Shane Sabraski dove low to take the point. Diemel saw the bright orange car and sped away. Diemel rocked the high side of the track and stretched his lead out to a straight-away when he encountered traffic. Diemel used the entire race surface to weave around slower cars but while he was caught up, Sabraski closed the gap Diemel had established. With four laps to go, Sabraski was on Diemel’s rear and Diemel got a glimpse of the #7a and tried to hold the lead. The checkers were raised, and as the drivers came out of the curve, Sabraski put his foot down and stole the win. Diemel settled for second with Jody Bellefeuille, Jeremy Nelson (19x) and Jake Smith as the top drivers.
Dave Mass and Dexton Koch raced side by side the first few laps of the WISSOTA Super Stock feature. Koch moved into the lead point and sped away. Koch was still charge at the half-way mark but Mass was closing the gap. Koch ran the high-line, Mass hugged the tires and they raced parallel in the turns. Mass worked his line more efficiently and took the lead point. As laps clicked off, top drivers were intermingled with lapped drivers and cars covered the entire racing surface. Mass set the cruise control and rolled his #2 into victory lane. Dylan Kromschroeder took second with Dexton Koch, Shane Sabraski and Brandon Duellman in top points.
Limited Late Models rolled on the track for the next race event with Lucas Peterson and Joe Provinzino on the front row. Peterson claimed the lead from the start and never looked back. The race had one caution throughout it’s 20 laps, however the race order didn’t change. Provinzino began to reel in Peterson as the laps went by, however the laps ran out before he could catch him. Lucas Peterson took the win with Joe Provinzino, Miranda Carlson, Marcus Dunbar and Gavin Tarras as the top five.
Dustin Holtquist and Jamie Lenarz led the WISSOTA Mod Fours to the green, and after a quick caution, Tommy Bawden claimed the lead. Holtquist came to Bawden’s door and they raced side by side for the top point. Holtquist pulled ahead to secure the lead but Bawden kept close. Holtquist led the Mod Fours back to green after a couple cautions, but with two laps to go, Bawden dove low on the track and snuck by Holtquist. Only one important lap remained and Bawden led it to take the win. Dustin Holtquist, Robert Holtquist, Dean Larson and Justin Will were the top finishers, however, after drivers made their stop at tech, there were a couple DQ’s issued. The drivers in second through fifth were adjusted and Robert Holtquist was awarded second with Dean Larson, Gerry Nohner and Chad Funt grabbing other top spots.
Jared Akervik grabbed the immediate lead in the WISSOTA Pure Stock feature with Cory Jorgensen and Ryan Clausen to his rear. Akervik continued to lead through a caution but Jorgensen didn’t let him out of his sight. With five laps to go, contact occurred between the top drivers resulting in a caution. Akervik was called for the caution, and after a delay of him exiting the track, Jorgensen brought the cars back to green. Kevin Baumgarner slid to Jorgensen’s door and they ran side by side for the top spot. The white flag was raised and as the drivers came to the checkers, Baumgarner pulled ahead to take the win. Cory Jorgensen finished second with Dusty Caspers, Margo Butcher and Josh Berg in the top points.
John Aderman and Mac Johnston brought the WISSOTA Hornets to the green for the night’s final feature event. The Hornets ran three and four wide going into the first turn, and at the end of lap one, Aderman snagged the lead. Corey Mehrwerth dove low on the track and claimed the lead point while Grayson Pratt moved next to Aderman. Marcus Ammerman and Joe Wilber joined Pratt and Aderman racing four wide for second which allowed Mehrwerth to stretch out his lead. After a caution, Pratt sped by Mehrwerth, but Mehrwerth kept close and tried to retake his front spot. The two drivers remained glued to one another in a drag race for the lead as they encountered slower drivers. One final yellow waved, and when the green reappeared, Pratt and Mehrwerth resumed their door to door fight for first. Wilber joined the excitement and they went into the curve three wide. Mehrwerth slowly broke away from the battle and stretched out enough of a lead to secure his win. Joe Wilber was second when the checkers flew with John Aderman, Grayson Pratt and Alex Aderman grabbing top points.
Two Nights, 67 Races, 322 Drivers, 12 hours of Great Racing and Countless Memories is how the 17th Annual Fall Classic will go down in the record books. Thank you to all the drivers, fans, families, employees and volunteers that made this year’s MTH Fall Classic another great FYE Motorsports event.
