Alexandria, Mn (May 12th, 2007) - Jeff Crouse landed
his first feature win Saturday night at Viking Speedway
besting a field of thirty plus Super Stocks. Crouse got the
lead on lap two and then held off Scot Danzeisen for the win.
Zach Schultz and Roger Host shared the front row for the
WISSOTA Super Stock main event. When the green dropped, Host
grabbed the early lead while third starter Jeff Crouse moved
into second. On lap two Crouse would use the low groove to
grab the lead from Host in turn four. With seventeen laps
still up on the board Danzeisen moved by Todd Carter for the
third spot and immediately began to gain ground on Crouse. On
lap five, twentieth starter Jon Stepan had already moved up
nine spots primarily using the bottom of the track to do so.
With nine laps in the books, twenty-second starter Scott Baker
entered the top ten while Crouse continue to race out front.
On lap fourteen, Gary Reents expired a motor which would bunch
up the field one final time with Danzeisen on the rear bumper
of Crouse. After a couple of cautions, Danzeisen once again
battled Crouse for the lead. With two laps remaining, Jeff
Flaten took a look to the inside of Danzeisen in turn one. The
duo raced side by side for the better part of two laps before
Danzeisen would hold the spot. Out front it was Crouse scoring
the victory and a 57 point night in the process. Danzeisen was
steady in second while Flaten, Carter and sixteenth starter
Corky Thomas rounding out the top five.
