Top Five for Wasmund at Husets! 06/29/2009 Matt Wasmund out of Jackson, Minnesota took the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis to Huset’s Speedway this past weekend to get a little practice run in before the very anticipated World of Outlaw show coming up this Friday. There were 18 cars that entered the night of the 28th of June and Matt qualified in the upper half of the field at 7th with a time of 11.622. “The car felt really good in qualifying,” explains Matt, “After the motor blew at the Fargo WoO show (World of Outlaws – June 20th) we had to use our back-up motor for tonight’s show. It was strong and I am really looking forward to this coming Friday.” With Wasmund’s time, he was lined up to start on the inside of the second row in the second heat race. The car was just a bit off as Matt fell back to 6th at the time of checkered so then he had to start back in the sixth row at 12th for the main event. Throughout the 25 lap contest, Wasmund powered through the field to make the first top five finish of the season for Wasmund Racing. Matt had a right rear tire going down that started about half way through the race which made the restarts difficult for the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis, but once the tire generated some heat, the car was really good and was fast enough to still climb forward. “We missed the set up for the heat race as the track changed on us just a little bit,” says Matt, “But my guys, Todd and George, changed the car up a bit for the main and really made it fast! It hurt us some with the tire going down because the car was a handful on the restarts trying to keep it in the rubber. We are very happy with the way the night turned out and it is always nice to see the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis in the top five.” Next up for the Wasmund Racing team will be this Friday racing with the fastest sprint cars on dirt, the World of Outlaws. Matt’s last contest with the World of Outlaws was last October in Princeton, MN where he had to come through the field of the “B” to race himself into the main event.

Tough Luck for Wasmund Racing in Fargo 06/22/2009 Matt Wasmund out of Jackson, MN took the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis up to Fargo, North Dakota to race with the World of Outlaws this past Saturday night to make the second appearance of the season for the team. He qualified with a time of 17.2 which would have been good enough to sit him 20th out of the 32 cars entered, but was disqualified due to the nose wing being too far forward on the chassis. He then had to start 8th in the heat and attempt to make the top five to guarantee a starting position in the main event. Wasmund powered to 6th by the time the checkered flag was thrown but was just one spot out of the transfer. With the DQ for qualifying, the 4w had to start at the tail end of the 12 car B-main and would have to finish in the top four to make the main. The Jackson native drove the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis up to 6th, but with only a few laps remaining the crankshaft broke going down the long backstretch of Red River Valley Speedway and caused a very disappointing end to the evening. “I was very happy with the car all night,” explains Matt, “The guys’ had the car working great and we had plenty of power, but when the vibrations started on the backstretch I knew it wasn’t going to be good. This is not a good start to the season, but we will get back to the shop and go over a few things and be back on the track very shortly!” The team was going to swing down to Huset’s Speedway for Sunday night weekly 410 Outlaw Sprint event, but it was cancelled due to rain.
