Matt Wasmund
Beaver Dam Re-Cap for Wasmund Racing
Matt Wasmund out of Jackson, MN, takes the Wasmund Racing Team to Charter Raceway Park in Beaver Dam, WI, this past weekend for yet another battle with the Interstate Racing Association Outlaw Sprints (IRA). With a late qualifying start, Wasmund set a 7th quick time out of 31 other competitors to begin the evening. Matt started the Heat Race in the 5th spot and raced his way up to the 3rd position to retrieve his qualifying efforts and make the re-draw for the lineup of the Main Event. With the luck of the draw on his side, Matt was able to start the Main on the pole. Matt got a great start in the Main, but since the car next to him didn’t, the IRA officials thought Matt jumped the gun so they threw the yellow flag and put Matt one row back.
On the restart, Matt took off and ran third until yet another yellow flag was thrown. They scored Matt to be in the 5th spot in which he actually was sitting third, so on the next restart Matt shot off at fifth. Late in the race, Matt spun as he was attempting to lap a car sending him to the back of the field. With just a few laps remaining in the Main Event, Wasmund was able to race the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis up to the 12th position ending the night. An impressive run for the Wasmund Team given the circumstances of the scoring issues and be sure to follow Matt through his website www.wasmundracinginc.com for as a win for the Team is certainly soon to come. Wasmund Racing would like to thank Steve Sinclair of the Scoring Team for the respectable apology following the Main Event.
