Wasmund Racing - Preparing for the Knoxville Natls 07/27/2009 This past Saturday, Matt Wasmund of Jackson, MN, took the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis to Knoxville Raceway to make a few laps before the upcoming 49th Annual Super Clean Knoxville Nationals presented by Lucas Oil. With the good motor waiting in line at the dyno, the Wasmund team went to Knoxville with the short track motor and knew that they would be behind the eight ball due to the lack of power. “We came down here tonight to test our car and give us some laps before the nationals,” explains Wasmund. “We broke the crank in our big motor last June up in Fargo (Red River Valley Speedway, West Fargo, ND 6/20) and we are still waiting for that to come back from the engine dyno… so we are here tonight with our short track motor.” The Wasmund team qualified towards the rear of the 34 car lineup with the underpowered engine which put the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis on the outside of the fourth row in the heat race. Matt finished 8th in the ten lap heat, which put the 4w on the fifth row for the start of the “B-Main.” He climbed up to 8th in the “B-Main” missing the transfer spot, but had a very good night with the car. “The car was fantastic,” says Matt. “I don’t feel bad at all about where we finished tonight because we came here on the notion for a test night. I think our Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis is good to go for the nationals and when we get our motor back we’ll have one more practice night during the 360 Nationals and we will be ready to rock for the 410 Nationals on the 12th.” Next up for the Wasmund Racing team will be this Friday at Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, IA. Rock Rapids will be having a special 410 winged sprint show and will also have the “Traditional HRA Wingless Sprints” to add to the program. DID YOU KNOW? Matt’s limited ’09 schedule of 6 races thus far has brought the team three top ten finishes including a 9th place finish at Deer Creek Speedway with the IRA Sprints, a 7th at I-90 Speedway and a 5th place finish at the high-banked Huset’s Speedway.

Top Ten for Wasmund – IRA Sprints at Deer Creek... 07/20/2009 Jackson, Minnesota native Matt Wasmund took the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis up to Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, MN this past weekend to compete against the Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprints. Being the last car out, Wasmund qualified 15th quick to start out the evening. Matt then lined up on the outside front row in the third heat race in which he maintained that 2nd position until another car insisted on a slide job against the 4w almost sending Matt into the wall. Wasmund recovered, but fell back to 5th and was still able that transfer spot into the main event. The outside of the seventh row is where the 4w started in the main event and at the start, Matt dropped back in the field to 18th. “The start for us didn’t go like we needed to,” says Matt. “But, after I fell back and started making laps the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis really came to and the car was working great!” Wasmund raced his way up to ninth to cap off the evening and was able to put another top 10 finish in the ’09 stats. “We’re very happy with this top 10,” explains Wasmund. “We got to the track late, but we managed to stay out of the B-Main and pass quite a few cars today! I have to really thank my crew for giving me such a great car to drive tonight!” Next up for the Wasmund Racing team will be this Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, IA to get a couple events in on the legendary speedway to prepare themselves for the upcoming nationals.

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.
