JEFFERSON, WI (Saturday, May 18, 2013) Dale Nottestad of Cambridge charged to the front of the field on Saturday night at Jefferson Speedway and drove away to capture the B&M Electric 50 lap feature. The win marks Nottestad’s second in a row at Wisconsin’s Action Track as he battles for a spot at the top of the standings.

Brandon Pendleton and Craig Phillips paced the field of 18 of the area’s best Late Model pilots as the green flag flew to start the action. Pendleton grabbed the early lead on lap one with Ryan Goldade sliding up to second. On lap two, Goldade made his move to the front of the field as he drove to the low of Pendleton. The duo raced side by side until Goldade took control of the point on lap four. Tory Bagley followed past Pendleton for second just as the first of two cautions waved on lap ten. As racing resumed, Nottestad made his way into the top five. Nottestad squeaked by Pendleton for third right before the second caution waved on lap 14. Once the green flag returned, Nottestad continued his trek to the front, moving past Bagley and setting his sights on Goldade. On lap 17, Nottestad dove under Goldade entering turn one. The pair of drivers battled wheel to wheel for a lap until Nottestad gained possession of the lead on lap 18. Nottestad began to stretch his lead as the laps ticked away. Zack Riddle continued to slice his way towards the front with Casey Johnson following him through the field. Riddle managed to get to second in the closing laps, but Nottestad was well on his way to taking home the trophy for the second week in a row. At the checkers, it was Nottestad by a wide margin followed by Riddle, Johnson, Goldade and Bagley.

JEFFERSON, WI (Saturday, May 11, 2013) On a chilly night at Wisconsin’s Action Track, Dale Nottestad of Cambridge heated things up by charging to the front of the field and staying there to win the Newville Auto Salvage 50 lap Late Model feature. The victory marks Nottestad’s first of the 2013 season after finishing off 2012 very strong by capturing the annual Wisconsin State Championships.

Tory Bagley and Dylan Schuyler led the field to green with Schuyler taking the early lead on lap one exiting turn four. Bagley dropped back to second with Roger Behlke running in third. On lap three Nottestad slid under Behlke into a battle for third. Nottestad claimed the spot on lap five and set his sights on Schuyler who had an eight car length advantage. Nottestad began reeling in the leader until finally catching him on lap 13. Nottestad dove under Schuyler entering turn as he drew even in a fight for the lead. A lap later, Nottestad moved into sole possession of top spot with Zack Riddle looking to follow into second. While Schuyler tried to hold off Riddle, Nottestad opened up a healthy lead over the field. Riddle eventually cleared for the second spot on lap 20 with Shaun Scheel in tow for third. The remainder of the caution free event saw Nottestad maintain his lead until crossing under the checkers to pick up the win. Riddle finished second followed by Shaun Scheel, Casey Johnson and Stephen Scheel.

JEFFERSON, WI (Saturday, May 04, 2013) Jefferson’s Kyle Jarlsberg rebounded strongly after missing the feature field on opening night one week ago by claiming the checkers to win the Radio Doctor 50 lap Late Model main event at Jefferson Speedway. Jarlsberg took advantage of his front row starting position to motor into the lead and never give up the top spot on his way to victory lane.

Jarlsberg and Tory Bagley paced the field of 18 Late Models to the drop of the green flag with Jarlsberg taking control on lap one. Bagley dropped back to second followed by Chris Quam in third. An early caution slowed the action when Ty James made contact with the turn four wall ending his evening all too early. As racing resumed, Jarlsberg held the point with Bagley still second and Quam trying to hold off Stephen Scheel for third. On lap 10, Scheel got to the inside of Quam as they battled side by side. Scheel eventually completed the pass on lap 14 as Ryan Goldade tried to follow. Scheel continued to move forward, racing under Bagley as he tried to steal second. Scheel cleared for the runner up spot on lap 20 as he began to slowly reel in Jarlsberg out front. The leaders remained single file lap after lap as Dale Nottestad and quick qualifier Zack Riddle tried to break into the top five. Roger Behlke relinquished the fifth position just before spinning on lap 42 to bring out the second and final caution of the race. But Jarlsberg remained strong out front over the final eight circuits to see the checkers first and pick up the win. Scheel was second followed by Bagley, Nottestad and Riddle.
