Matt Wasmund
Top Five for Wasmund at Husets!
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.
