Jensen Jets To 5th Annual Eric Herbison Memorial Title

Cedar Lake Speedway – New Richmond, Wisconsin

June 22nd, 2019

Brandon Jensen sat on the pole at the outset of the 30-lap Eric Herbison Memorial Midwest Modified feature event and led every lap en route to his biggest career victory ahead of 8th starting Tony Bahr, 11th starting Justin Froemming, 5th starting Calvin Iverson and 6th starting Zach Benson.

Jensen, who has spent much of his career in the Modified and Super Stock ranks, is a newcomer to the Midwest Mod class in 2019 and has shown that he belongs, winning this prestigious event in only his first attempt.

2 time and defending champion Jason VandeKamp was collected in a grinding crash in his heat race to start the night and although every effort was made to repair the #16, something was amiss as he started from the 27th position and quickly smoke billowed from his machine, forcing him pitside and ending his bid for a three-peat.

Jensen was comfortable out front the entire distance holding off, what was a spirited battle between Bahr and Froemming as they both drove through the field together. Bahr was able to hold off Froemming for the runner up spot and Froemming, in his first visit to Cedar Lake of the season charged from 11th to 3rd.

Cody Borgeson earned hard charger honors, racing from his 25th starting position up to 11th when the checkered flag flew.

Results

Brandon Jensen, Tony Bahr, Justin Froemming, Calvin Iverson, Zach Benson, Joe Chaplin Jr., Dane Durbin, Shawn Kelley, Alex Williamson, Shawn Phillips, Cody Borgeson, Doug Toepper, Dan Bargender, Nick Ayotte, Pat Kelley, Nate Erickson, Zach Brom, Nick Axelson, Austin Ellis, Andrea Keeney, David Madsen, Travis Anderson, Kyle Matuska, Charlie Wihren, JD Ford, Gavin Olson, Jason VandeKamp

Koehler Conquers CLS For Eric Herbison Memorial Title

Cedar Lake Speedway – New Richmond, Wisconsin

July 6th, 2018

Bloomer, Wisconsin racer Nick Koehler outdueled 2 time event champion Jason VandeKamp to pick up the biggest win of his career on Saturday night and the prestigious Eric Herbison Memorial title that goes along with it.

Koehler and VandeKamp started on the front row together with Nick taking the lead from the pole and leading every lap en route to the victory, but not without heavy pressure from VandeKamp early and then 6th starting Scott Splittstoesser closed in during the late stages of the event to make Koehler earn the victory. Shawn Kelley raced from 10th to 3rd, with Skyler Smith and Jason Schill rounding out the top five finishers.

VandeKamp ran second for much of the race until a flat tire sent him pitside near the end of the race. He rallied from the tail to finish 15th.

David Meyer, who started 24th, earned hard charger honors, moving forward to finish 11th.

Thrilling Finish To 3rd Annual Eric Herbison Memorial
New Richmond, WI (6-16-16)
By: Greg Parent
 

Superb weather and a thrilling last lap pass for the win in the final event of the evening made for a great night at the Cedar Lake Speedway for the running of the 3rd Annual Eric Herbison Memorial race.  Record car counts in both the Midwest Modifieds (54) and Pro Stocks (30) set the stage for two new winners of this event.  Jason Vandekamp of Scandia, Minnesota, the driver with the most career wins in the Midwest Modifieds at the track, led all 30 laps for his 35th CLS victory in the division.  Vandekamp wanted dearly to win this race, as he competed on numerous occasions over the years against Eric Herbison at the Cedar Lake Speedway.  Mission accomplished.  But it was the final event of the evening that produced the most exciting finish.  After slipping back several positions in the early laps, The "Flyin' Farmer" Nick Oreskovich from Mason, Wisconsin thrilled fans with a final lap pass of 2015 winner Shane Sabraski for his first-ever victory at CLS.  Oreskovich is an infrequent visitor at the western Wisconsin dirt oval, but he found his way to Victory Lane as the third and final leader of the 30 lap Pro Stock main event to conclude the Herbison Memorial.  Both Vandekamp and Oreskovich picked up $2,000 for their wins.
 
The Midwest Modifieds were on the program for the third time at this popular event, as Eric Herbison raced for several seasons in the division and was a former track champion.  The event drew a large field of cars, exceeding Herbison's car number by one.  This resulted in six 10-lap heat races, three 12-lap B Mains, and the 30-lap Eric Herbison Memorial feature event.  Passing and finishing points were used in the heat races to determine the top 15 cars.  Three cars from each B Main along with a provisional starter made up the 25 car starting grid.  The top six drivers in points redrew for the first three rows of the feature.  Vandekamp drew the pole spot with Paul Niznik to his outside.  Alex Williamson and two-time Herbison Memorial winner Michael Truscott made up row two.  Mitch Weiss and Travis Schulte would go from the third row.

Vandekamp and Niznik ran first and second for the first 10 laps before Truscott grabbed the runner-up position for two laps.  Niznik regained the second position on lap 13 but Truscott took it back the following lap.  The first caution waved with 14 laps scored, as Josh Smith slowed exiting turn two and David Mastell spun to avoid contact.  On the restart, Niznik once again took over the second place position.  The second yellow blinked on with 25 laps in the books for spin by Mastell in front of the leaders.  Three cars came together on the restart which resulted in the third and final caution.  A five lap dash to the checkers for Vandekamp produced his first win in this event.  Justin Froemming got by Niznik for three laps after the final caution, but Niznik once again would not be denied the runner-up spot in the race during the final two circuits.  Froemming, Truscott and Curt Myers completed the top five.  Karl Kolek, Weiss, 21st starter Dan Wheeler, 19th starter Tony Schill and Jared Boumeester rounded out the top ten.  Wheeler earned an extra $100 Hard Charger Award with a gain of 13 positions in the main.



The Pro Stocks were part of the Herbison Memorial for the second time, and the class certainly provided a very entertaining 30 lap feature for the fans.  Three 10-lap heats with the top 18 cars in passing and finishing points along with the top six out of the 12-lap B Main plus a provisional set the 25 car starting field for the final race of the evening.  Curt Myers, doing double duty, drew the pole starting position with Pro Stock rookie Adam Soltis to his outside.  Ryan Wiome and Oreskovich comprised the second row with Mike Weber and Dave Mass starting from row three.

Myers bolted into the lead at the start and separated himself from the remainder of the field during the first 11 lap green flag run.  Both Oreskovich and Mass slipped back several positions in the early going, as neither driver got a particularly good start.  That would change later in the race though.  The first of four cautions tightened up the field with 11 laps scored when Ryan Gangl spun in turn two.  Contact on the restart between Cory Davis and Mass in turn three saw Davis tag the tail of the field for the second restart.  Sabraski, also doing double duty on the evening, took over second when the race returned to the green flag.  Sabraski had started seventh.  Myers was not able to pull away from Sabraski but still held the lead during the next 12 laps.  When Soltis slowed in turn four 23 laps into the race, the yellow blinked on for the third time.  Sabraski passed Myers for the lead the next lap and was in first when the final caution flew for Jared Zimpel.  Oreskovich was running third.  The final six laps to the finish were exciting to say the least, as Oreskovich got by Myers and put the pressure on Sabraski.  Going into turn one on the final lap, Oreskovich pulled alongside Sabraski to his inside with the pair racing hard down the backstretch.  Oreskovich emerged with the lead and a story book type finish to the evening for his first career win at CLS.  Sabraski settled for second with Mass recovering for a third place finish.  Myers and Dexton Koch completed the top five.  Ryan Wiome was sixth.  Eric Martini came from 19th to seventh at the finish and earned the $100 Hard Charger Award.  Chris Wark, Jesse Redetzke and Davis from the back of the pack following the lap 11 restart rounded out the top ten.

Thanks to all of the drivers, race fans and sponsors who helped make the 3rd Annual Eric Herbison Memorial a tremendous event.  The focus now turns to the 18th Annual Masters event on Friday and Saturday June 17-18.  The UMP DIRTcar Summernationals late model tour along with the USMTS modifieds will be in action for two complete programs each night.  Check out our website at www.cedarlakespeedway.com to get information on upcoming races, results, photos, news and much more.  You can call us toll free at 1-866-4-CLS-FUN or find us on the social media outlets of Facebook and Twitter.

3rd Annual Eric Herbison Memorial On Schedule at Cedar Lake

The 3rd running of the Eric Herbison Memorial that has drawn upwards of 50 of the area’s best Midwest Modified drivers in search of the $2,000 to win winner’s paycheck has been scheduled once again for Thursday, June 16th as a kickoff of the track’s annual Masters weekend. In addition to the $2,000 to win Midwest Modified program, the Pro Stocks have been added to the program with an identical $2,000 to win payoff for the second straight year, making it a two division mega event.

Herbison was tragically killed in a snowmobile accident in late January of 2014 near New Richmond and most notably competed in the Midwest Modified division at Cedar Lake for several seasons and was crowned as the 2011 Midwest Modified Track Champion just five short years ago.

The memorial event is being presented by long time Herbison sponsor Willow River Saloon and will feature twin $2,000 to win and $80 to start 30-lap Midwest Modified and Pro Stock features to kick off one of Cedar Lake’s biggest multiday weekend events of the season. Anyone looking to donate to the purse for this event should contact Chris at clsracer@hotmail.com and we would be happy to work with you on supporting this event.

The event will be an unsanctioned race, so no license is needed to compete. A $50 car/driver entry fee will be required at the draw window and all non-qualifiers are guaranteed their $50 entry fee back. Passing points will be used to determine feature starting field. Cedar Lake Speedway Pro Stock and Midwest Modified rules will apply. Draw cut off is 5:30pm with hot laps taking place at 5:15. Racing starting at 6:00pm sharp.

Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin’s Michael Truscott has gone to victory lane in both previous runnings of the Herbison Memorial in his familiar #22T Midwest Modified. Rice, Minnesota’s Shane Sabraski put his #7a Pro Stock into victory lane during the Pro Stock portion of the event in 2015 as well.

We hope to see everyone at the Cedar Lake Speedway on Thursday, June 16th.
