Clubb drives away with 4 Cylinder special at La Salle; Bell gets first victory

By: Betty Glynn

Cody Clubb swept the 4 Cylinder Hornet division in front of a packed house for the Jeff Perry Fan Appreciation Night on Saturday at La Salle Speedway. The Morris driver shined with an easy heat race victory and a full throttle charging feature run.

Twenty six contenders took the track by storm as the last event of the night. Their ability to travel the first thirteen laps uninterrupted was only stopped due to debris on the racing surface. They seemed to outshine the big dogs by putting forth some great side by side action even though there were so many drivers on the track at one time.

“That was the most enjoyable feature I’ve seen thus far,” track owner Kerry Izzo told the drivers during an unexpected meeting after their race. “Excellent show I can’t thank you enough and I would give each and every one of you the winner’s money if I could.” She closed her meeting with three words that summed up their efforts. “Great job guys.”

Jamie Deford and Allen Line were the front row hosts on the feature grid with Cody Clubb and Rick Zifko rolling up in the second row. Allen Provenzano and Asa Robart took their spots in row three. By the third lap on the scoreboard, it was Cody Clubb commanding the field in front of Deford. The pair outdistanced their competition for the early laps. The Lap 13 caution brought everyone back to together but it didn’t take Cody long to outdistance himself leaving some great racing between Deford, Zifko, Phil Burdette and Robart.

Cody claimed the checkers with Deford second in front of Zifko. Burdette managed to take over fourth during the final laps leaving Robart in fifth followed by Nick Clubb, Mike Morrow, Jerry Legner, John Provenzano, Allen Line, Mark Sutton, Matt McCarty, Allen Provenzano, Justin Heath, and Jason Wagner.

Line, Cody and Zifko each won the heat races.

The UMP Late Model class hosted nineteen contenders. Rich Bell earned the pole position after the dash victory with Ralph Markham as his front row challenger. Lil’ John Provenzano and Mark Larson were in the second row.

Bell took off with Ralph Markham close behind and Lil’ John on his tail. The early laps were caution plagued and hard to get momentum for the racers. During the eighth lap of the circuit, seventh place starter Mike Glynn flew into second behind Bell. Glynn ran a lower line and began to test Bell’s run but caution slowed the chase. After the restart, Glynn could catch him in the corners but Bell was faster on the straight aways. The twenty-five lap main pace was too much for many of the drivers as the same cars seemed to be bringing out the caution.

During Lap 18, Mike Provenzano had positioned his eighth place starting machine on the back bumper of Glynn. Glynn moved up and Mike Provenzano seized the opportunity to chase down the leader. Running in fourth was Ralph Markham with Keith Piano close behind him. Piano’s start closer to the rear of the grid was a challenge in its own right just to avoid trouble.

In the closing laps, Mike Provenzano gave it all he had but Bell was faster to the finish for his first win at La Salle. Mike Provenzano scored second in front of Glynn, Ralph Markham, Piano, Roger Markham, Mark Larson, Zack Busch, and Ed Williams Sr.

Roger Markham held off brother Ralph to win the first heat event while Bell and Glynn were third and fourth. Lil’ John outdistanced Williams for heat two with Larson and Greg Wagner crossing the line behind them. Bell took home the Rhyne Engine dash victory ahead of Ralph Markham, Lil’ John and Larson.

The UMP Modified’s struggled from the time the green flag dropped until the checkers. They just didn’t seem to be able to score a lap without caution. Several complete restarts was a sign of the times for the eighteen car field. Getting the first three laps on the board was more like a marathon.

Dale Lueth and Justin McCoy led the pack with Vince Cooper and Jason Bahrs in row two. Lueth was fast out of the blocks leading from the pole. During Lap 7, Lueth was leading when he killed the engine ending his lead. Cooper now sat at the helm with McCoy, Tom Knippenberg, Stan Vervynck, Don Cole, Phil Line, and Felicia Collins following.

Cooper kept his ride lower on the track while McCoy charged higher looking for a faster groove. The duo distanced themselves from the pack dodging the lapped traffic.

Cooper won the twenty lapper over McCoy. Lueth moved his way back up the pack from the tail into fourth behind Line. Vervynck took fifth in front of Bahrs, Mike Marden and Knippenberg.

Lueth won the first heat contest with Knippenberg, Matt Gremminger and Collins trailing. McCoy took home the second heat victory over Cooper, Bahrs and Joe Adam.

Steve Lewis and Justin Rutledge rolled into the front of the grid for the UMP Street Stocks main event. When the flagman signaled the start, it was all racing for the twenty one drivers. They put on a great action packed contest flag to flag.

Lewis and Jimmy Partipilo raced each other hard in the front of the pack. Lewis led the first ten laps uncontested until Partipilo caught up to his back bumper and brought their action door to door. On the back straight away of Lap 12, Partipilo took over the point. A caution one lap later gave Lewis a chance to regain the lead.

Partipilo took off fast leaving Lewis to hold back Roger Rickels and Mike Hughes. Eighteen cars remained in action with three laps to go.

Partipilo returned to the winners circle for the second week in a row. Lewis scored a strong second in front of Hughes, Rickels, Jamie Balensiefen, Matt Ramer, Marty Gradert, Rutledge, David McKenney, Tim Provezano, Alex Clubb and Nick Clubb.

Jay Mesarchik won the first heat while Partipilo won the second.

Sievert jets to winners circle at La Salle; Veloz returns on top

By: Betty Glynn

Brett “The Jet” Sievert stole the UMP Late Model feature event during the final circuits of the twenty five lap main. The driver who hales out of the Badger state saw a door open when race leader Mike Glynn fell off his pace with a flattening left rear tire.

Twenty four Late Models signed in for action Saturday night with some new blood showing their presence. Sievert hasn’t been a regular in years but traveled the clay oval like it was his home turf. He has been known to show up for the big shows that stop at the central Illinois track but the weekly venue has not been his weekend showcase.

Glynn and front row partner Gary Schalmo led the grid in front of Ralph Markham and Sievert while Shawn Toczek and Lil’ John Provenzano rolled up for row three. Once the green flag dropped, it was Glynn pulling out to an early lead over Markham and Provenzano. A nine car pile up halted the action just after a racey first lap. Four cars succumbed to damage with Jason Jaggers taking the brunt of the melee. Crinkled sheet metal was the least of the repair list for many of those involved. Crews worked quickly to get the racing back underway.

Glynn led the restart ahead of Markham, Lil’ John Provenzano, Sievert, Toczek, and Mike Provenzano. With three laps on the board the leaders were challenged when two cars from the tail were stopped between turns one and two taking up most of the racing surface. The experienced driving of Glynn and Markham shined as they were able to maneuver the pair. Shortly after the next restart, Lil’ John Provenzano skimmed the infield tires enough to drop him back to sixth. With the pack running fast and furious, Glynn was quickly coming up on slower machines racing for their own positions when a three and four wide battle ensued.

In the lapped traffic, Ralph Markham managed to take over the point but Glynn used the outer rim of the infield to quickly steal the lead back after forcing the lapped traffic into a four wide conflict. During the eleventh circuit, Sievert used a lower groove to move under Ralph Markham for the second place running position. Ralph’s higher line created an opening that Lil’ John Provenzano needed to cruise past him while John Piccatto ran a strong fifth place.

During Lap 19, Glynn noticed his ride was not performing as it had been. “The car was perfect in the feature which doesn’t happen too often. I knew something was wrong but just couldn’t bring myself to quit, ” Glynn said.

After Sievert took the point, Lil’ John Provenzano charged his speed plant into second but was unable to challenge Sievert due to lapped traffic. Glynn finished third over Ralph Markham, Piccatto, Greg Wagner, last week’s winner Mike Provenzano, Jim Loomis, Scott Brewer, Roger Markham, Ed Williams Sr., Dan Doherty, Dan Patnoe and Keith Piano.

Glynn outdistanced Schalmo, Ralph Markham and Sievert for the dash win. Sievert, Lil’ John Provenzano and Ralph Markham each won their heat events.

The UMP Modifieds boasted twenty four contenders for their division but one driver made his return the highlight of the night. Milo Veloz Jr., a former divisional champ, hadn’t been back to the speedway in 2009 until Saturday. His return turned out to be well worth the trip.

Veloz scored the pole position with his ability to wheel a race car from the last row of the heat to a second place finish. Brad Stewart started outside front row while heat winners Dale Lueth and Justin McCoy rolled into row two. Veloz flew out of the blocks fast as Stewart settled in second leaving Lueth and McCoy in side by side order. During Lap 2, contact sent a pack to the wall in the same position as the early caution of the Late Model class. Once the light stayed illuminated green, it was Veloz uncontested with Stewart, Lueth, Nathan Balensiefen, and Vince Cooper duking it out.

During Lap 13, Lueth took command of second while Stewart was held up by lapped machines. Two laps later Lueth’s ride was airborne after a tangle with front runners and a lapped car who was far off the pace. Veloz took the checkers uncontested while Cooper and Stewart battled to the final finish line. As they crossed under the flag stand it was a photo finish with Cooper ending their contest in second. Stewart took home third ahead of an aggressive Balensiefen, Tom Knippenberg, Jason Bahrs, Matthew Gremminger, AJ Dixon, Joe Adam, Phil Line, Justin McCoy, Don Cole, and Jason Anderson.

McCoy outran Stewart for the first heat win with Travis Kohler third. Lueth beat Cooper in heat two. The third heat checkers was taken by Balensiefen with Veloz second.

An impressive seven minutes is all it took for Jimmy Partipilo to take home the fifteen lap main event for the UMP Street Stocks. Twenty two cars registered for the evenings racing action with Mike Hughes and Jamie Balensiefen each winning their preliminary events. The duo hosted the front of the grid ahead of Partipilo and Randy Lucas.

It didn’t take the third place starter more than a half a lap to take his ride to the side of Balensiefen for the lead. By the end of Lap 1, he took over the front helm and never looked back. Sixth place starter Rick Koltveit was moving up the pack quickly while the leaders worked their way in and out of lapped traffic.

Partipilo dodged lapped cars like a pro as he raced his way into victory lane. Koltveit’s shot up to the front runners ended with a second place finish in front of Balensiefen, Hughes, Roger Rickels, Lucas, Steve Lewis, Alex Clubb, Justin Rutledge and David McKenney.

Nick Clubb won the UMP 4 Cylinder division without anyone close by when he crossed the finish line. During much of the fifteen lap feature it was front runners Chad Williams and Phil Burdette in a full fledged combat for the win. Both faded off the track during the final laps giving up any chance for the win.

Clubb, who started front row outside, took home the victory while Asa Robart held off Rick Zifko for second place. Mark Sutton collected fourth over Jerry Legner, Harold Reiter, Jamie Deford, Allen Line and Mike Morrow.

Burdette beat Robart, Legner, and Deford in the first heat race. Williams won the second heat over Morrow, Nick Clubb, and Reiter.

Next week is the UMP 4 Cylinder Special in conjunction with Fan Appreciation Night at the speedway. Adult general admission is discounted to $5.

Provenzano launches La Salle opener in style

Provenzano launches LaSalle Speedway season in style
By: Betty Glynn

La Salle, IL – Mike Provenzano, of Marseilles, scored his first Late Model victory at La Salle Speedway Saturday night with a full moon hiding behind the clouds. The former Kankakee Motor Speedway track champion had been absent from the Illinois Valley track until the new rules for division brought him back to his old stomping ground. His season opener win launched the 2009 points chase.

The Late Models format includes a number draw for the heat position, along with a passing points system which determines the dash and feature grid. The top six passing point’s earners duke it out in the Rhyne Competition Engines sponsored dash event to decide the top six starting spots of the main event.

Jason Jaggers and Roger Markham earned the front row starting positions in front of Provenzano and Ed Williams Jr. A pair of former track champions, Roger Markham and Keith Piano, rolled into the third row. Just after the start line it was Jaggers pulling away from Provenzano with Ralph, Roger, Mike Glynn and Piano trailing.

Jaggers and Provenzano quickly started to distance themselves from the other sixteen contenders while brothers Ralph and Roger battled for third. During the eighth lap of the circuit, Provenzano pulled up next to Jaggers for a shot at the lead. His first attempt was successful and he managed to pull ahead by a nose length before the next lap was scored. Glynn was catching Ralph from a low line and made his pass during the beginning of Lap 12 but a caution halted any chance of side by side racing between the two. The final single file restart returned the field to the previous lap standings.

From then on the twenty five lap feature event was mostly uneventful with too much distance between the first and second place cars for any real action up front. Glynn’s low line run was not enough for a powerful highside charge by Ralph.

Provenzano didn’t have to protect his lead as he flew solo to the checkers ahead of Jaggers, Ralph, Glynn, Rich Bell, Piano, Aaron Schmitt, Busch, Ed Williams Sr., John Piccatto, Jim Loomis, Ed Williams Jr., Roger Markham, John Small, Jeff Small, Wagner, Knutti, and Travis Mahoney.

Jaggers secured his pole from the dash win while Roger Markham, Provenzano and Ed Williams Jr. crossed the finish line behind him. Provenzano was uncontested in the first heat race with Ralph Markham, who came from the tail of the grid, finishing in second. Roger Markham and Piccatto crossed third and fourth. Ed Williams Jr. won the second heat from the front row outside over Piano, Glynn and Jaggers.

Reigning Open Wheel Modified track champ Vince Cooper started his twenty lap feature event in the same place as Provenzano on the grid and finished in much the same order. Cooper was unstoppable from the end of the second lap on. He took command from pole sitter Brad Stewart to lead by more than a quarter of the track’s distance at times.

During the early laps, Cooper was all alone while Joe Adam, Matthew Grimerger, Jason Anderson and Dale Lueth gave chase. Several cautions during their main brought the action back into a single file format but without hesitation Cooper flew his machine on a solo mission.

Ninth place starter Nathan Balensiefen charged his way to the front by Lap 11. With four laps unscored a side by side challenge between second place runner Adam and Grimerger ended in Grimerger’s favor.

Cooper cruised to an easy win over Grimerger, Adam, Balensiefen, Tom Knippenberg, Lueth, Justin McCoy, Travis Kohler, Mike Marden and Mark Vervynk.

Cooper won heat number one over McCoy, Adam, and Marden. Brad Stewart won the second in front of Grimerger, Lueth and Anderson.

Steve Lewis swept the Street Stock division winning both his heat and feature races. Lewis carried the field of seventeen flag to flag for the fifteen lap main event. Rick Koltveit ran a strong second finishing in front of Jimmy Partipilo, Randy Lucas, Alex Clubb, Gary Schmitt, David McKinney, Matt Ramer, Roger Rickels, Darryl Matthews, Jay Mesarchik, Mark Gradert, and Steve Schwemlein.

Jeff Semmens won the first heat finishing in front of Koltveit, Partipilo, and Lucas. The Street Stock’s last heat race might have been led by the full moon affect. A six car pile up betweens turns one and two ended with Nick Sell leaving the clay oval on a stretcher and quite a few cars done for the night. Sell spent the night in ICU with a concussion but was released the next day. During the final lap, Lewis made a last minute pass and a quick slide in front of Alex Clubb to steal the win. Marty Gradert and Mesarchik topped off the top four.

A fight to the finish ended with Phil Burdette putting forth a dramatic finish en route to victory circle for the Hornet division. Nick Clubb ended the event in second over Mike Morrow, #0, Asa Robart, Larson, Brown, Seitz, Legner, Alm, DJ Kilanowski, and Breitbarth.
