GOLDEN SPIKE SPEEDWAY ST CLOUD MN
SUNDAY AUGUST 30
STEVE JENSEN SWEEPS STOCK CARS
Steve Jensen from Hope MN won the heat race and the feature
Sunday night at Golden Spike. In the heat race Jensen jumped out to an early
lead with his 61 Chev Impala, and held it the entire race. For the feature it was a
different story. Heiland made some major changes to his 70 Chev Nova and
the battle was on. Again Jensen jumped to an early lead but Heiland and
Francis Fox 51 Ford were right there. A dog fight developed , first it was Jensen,
then Heiland leading, then Jensen. Heiland was pinned down low giving
the advantage to Jensen on the high side. At the finish line it was
Jensen by a hood ornement.
Congrats to Steve Jensen on his 2 victories.
There were 4 Stock Cars 3 Sprint Cars 1 Midget and 1 lady driven Modified
Stock Cars were Jensen, Heiland, Francis Fox and Allen Bjorkland.
Sprint Cars were, Dave Hoska & crew man Paul Rempfer, Rick & Dave Seidenkranz.
Art Abrahams was having trouble with his Midget, but worked like a made man and
got it running for the feature. Paula, yes Paula Reineke drove her #41 Modified with the sprints
and was doing good in the heat til she ran out of gas. You can bet that Skip had
plenty of gas in it for the feature.
A big THANKS to the crew at Golden Spike and to Woody Woodbury and Calvin Hobbs
for putting the event together. Every one really enjoyed the evening.
