ProMod 6-3-2007 WCIS
This Race Report was recorded at WCIS this week by track announcer Dan Turner. As the Mini Cups making their way to the speedway it looks like going away from the pole is the 86 of Amy Becker who won today’s ProMod heat race. Outside her will be Kris Hamann in the 8 machine. Second row will be the 12 of Jesse Hartloff outside Hartloff will be the 24 of machine Robbie Micoli. Third will be the Jr class as we wait for the 48 of Paul Faleski to come up to the tail end of the field. Third row is the 95 of Robby Becker and the 94 of Michelle Becker from the Jr class to round up the field.

White flag is being shown by Mike Jones, green flag next time by, coming out of turn four green flag in the air and Becker gets the early jump but it’s Hamann on the out side trying to keep the RPM’s up. Hamann takes the lead away of off turns one and two, Amy falls to the number two spot but her comes Hartloff. Hartloff in the 12 he works the bottom side of Becker down the back straightaway back into turns three and four Hartloff works the bottom ooh Becker a little out of shape this time by, Hartloff takes the spot and now has his sights on the number one spot held by Hamann and take over the number one spot. Becker down to the bottom after nearly wiped out in turn four, Hartloff in command of the field now. Becker will have to battle for the number two spot now as Hartloff runs away and hides from everyone he had some handling problems in turn two during the heat race. Becker has a lot of ground to make up, Hartloff now with almost a half a straightaway in the 12 machine, he passes the 95 car of Robby Becker and the 94 car of Michelle Becker. Hartloff is just checking out and putting himself into a different time zone. Hartloff now a full straight-a-way out in front of Amy Becker working around the 24 Rob Micoli car is having motor problems.

Hartloff setting a wicked pace Amy Becker has problems she has a flat right rear, Amy having a great run trying to keep it to the high side of the race track as the caution flies. Amy Becker making the dive to the middle, but it’s defiantly not how she wanted to end her day here. It was a great break for Hamann here as he was well over a straightaway behind Hartloff. Now Hamann and the rest of the field get to close the gap up at lap 9. This seems to help out 48 Faleski as his machine is running much better. Some of the heavy hitters with problems already are starting to fall out of the race. 24 Rob Micoli heads into the pits for quick repairs. Due to the on coming rain the victory lane interviews will take place at the end of the day.

As we go green for one more time Hartloff still out front now Faleski works the outside Hamann works the bottom side going into turns one and two. Yellow! Yellow! Yellow! There is something smack dab in the middle of turn one a piece of somebody’s car, that’s the cause for the caution. The 8 Kris Hamann looses an exhaust pipe and has to pull off the track and retire for the day and Kris was up front battling for second at the time a good run. The field returns to white flag for a restart as there was no full lap made. The 24 car of Rob Micoli returns to the race track 9 laps in the books. Green flag racing resumes and Faleski has found something with this 48 car he has been picking up the pace as the race goes on. Hartloff though back on the gas has a large lead Faleski trying to keep up 4 laps to go Hartloff has a full straight-a-way lead on Faleski. Hartloff running the high side through the corners puts it in cruse control, all he need is a couple more laps and this one will go in the books in the w column. Hartloff goes by the two Jr Cars of Becker and Becker. This time by two to go for Hartloff with Faleski’s in the number two spot. For the juniors Michelle Becker has the spot over Robby Becker white flag in the air as Jesse still has a full straight-a-way lead over Paul Faleski and Michelle Becker is still out front of Robby Becker.

Checker flag and Jesse Hartloff takes it Paul Faleski finishes second, in the Jr Div. Michelle Becker takes the win over Robby Becker and Rob Micoli despite all the problems comes in third two laps down Kris Hamann lap 9 DNF with broken exhaust, Amy Becker Lap 9 DNF with flat tire. This finish is official by the score keeper Rachel Babbit, the track scorer double checked the finale result and found that her assistant wrote the results down wrong.

24 Car Wins At WCIS
Robbie Micoli broke through for his first win in the Mini Cups. On the pole in the number 24 is Micoli next to him is the number 8 of Hamann followed by the 12 of Hartloff and the 86 of Becker will be your top four ProMod’s the 94 of Michelle Becker the 95 of Robby Becker and the 4 of Denial Majchrzak the 94, 95 and 4 make up your Junior Division so we have a race within a race. Jim Peirce was scheduled to drive the 48 car for Paul Faleski Today they are having problems with the 48 car so it looks like Jim Peirce won’t be able to make his Mini Cup debut today.  Look like we have some daubery up in turn one, it’s the deck lid off of the 86 car of Amy Becker and every thing is ok for her to continue on. They were given a couple of hot laps to put some heat in the tiers,

It Micoli, Hamann, Hartloff and Becker your four ProMod’s glued together coming down the back stretch for the first time around here on this day. Micoli will lead them for lap one as he just runs’ a way and hides from the duo of Hartloff and Hamann were awfully fast. Micoli tries to pull away as Hartloff looks to the bottom of Hamann, Micoli still out fount. Hartloff looks to the inside of Hamann for second right-on his back bumper, Hartloff to the inside taking the number to spot form Kris Hamann Hartloff Hamann wheel to wheel for that second spot. Micoli has stretched out the real state, Micoli coming up on the junior car of Daniel Majchrzak and gets around with no problems and Hartloff in the second spot tries and he can’t get by and here come Kris Hamann charging back on the outside wow what a great battle for that runner up sport now. Hamann reclaims the second spot as they are side by side Micoli, oh! Hartloff slows look like he’s having problems the race is stayed greed Hartloff pulled off into the infield and that breaks up a great battle for second place.

Now Hamann has to worry about Robbie Micoli who has slower traffic the junior cars of Robby Becker and Michelle Becker right in front of him. He’s got Robby Becker smack dab right the middle of his way, the cross flags are in the air, we are at halfway and Hamann had to thread the needle through the junior mini cup traffic and all that advanced him up two or three car lengths. As they headed down the front stretch its Micoli and Hamann same thing down the back stretch,  Micoli’s really tacking control of this one, this is by far his best run of the season and his lead has extended to about 28 Mini cup cars. Parallel flags in the air, there are just two to go. Micoli comes out of turn four and takes the white flag, one lap left at the blacktop bull-ring Looks like 8-car is going run out of time, out of turn four it’s 24-Robbie Micoli with his fist win of the season followed by 8-Kris Hamann second and 86-Amy Becker in third those are your ProMod cars next are 94-Michelle Becker wins the Junior Div. race, 94-Robby Becker in second and 4-Daniel Majchrzak finishes in third.
