The Race Minnesota Modified Series presented by OctaneTrade.com season is coming to a red hot finish with a handful of drivers looking to capture the season points title in the ASI Racewear Midwest Modifieds and the Afco Racing Products Modified Fours. The Speedway Motors Modifieds will complete the fourth race of that class to set the stage for a huge showdown on October 15, 2010 at the Topless Nationals at Ogilvie Raceway to complete the 2010 RACEMN season.

Abrahamson checks in with 193 points in a tie with #6 Conrad Schwinn for 2nd Place. Current WISSOTA Mod Four point leader #4D Rob VanMil lurks in 6th Place with 166 Points even though he has missed an event. Due to the fact the RACEMN Championship is based on best 4 of 5 shows VanMill has a chance to capture the title with a strong finish at Ogilvie on Friday.

CAIN, SCOTT, AND VANMIL TAKE ROUND 3 OF RACEMN AT THE “BIG O”

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 17:11:50 +0000

The Race Minnesota Modified Series (RACEMN) presented by OctaneTrade.com made its second stop at Ogilive Raceway in Ogilvie, MN for the 3rd race on the five race tour. The race was eagerly awaited by race fans due to the stellar quality fields that have been assembled to date in this inagural season. Amazing talent and a great racing surface leads to incredible rac action that kept the crowd at the edge of their seats.

A stout field of WISSOTA Modifieds, Midwest Modifieds, and Mod 4′s battled for WISSOTA National Points and RACEMN show points. At the end of the series a massive $20,000 total purse will be awarded for the best 4 of 5 RACEMN shows.

RACEMN inducted its inaugural class of drivers into the newly established OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame tonight. The 2010 OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame inductees include:

Ron Jones inducted into the Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame - Jacy Norgaard Photo

Ron Jones of Princeton, MN

Ron Jones is regarded as one of the best open wheel Modified drivers by most anyone in the industry since it’s inception in 1979. Jones has claimed more than 500 Modified victories including some huge wins in Modified racing along the way. Ron’s best win ever was the 1st Annual Chub Daniels Memorial. Jones has represented Minnesota and Open Wheel Modified Racing on a National scale for many years and that is one of the reasons he was chosen to be an inductee into the OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame.

Mark Noble inducted into the Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame - Jacy Norgaard Photo

Mark Noble of Blooming Prarie, MN

The owner of over 605 career open wheel Modified wins, Mark Noble has been oustanding in his field. He is a second generation driver that began his career in 1973. Modified racing for him started in 1984 and he credits his wife, Becky and four kids with giving him the best support that anyone could ever imagine. He currently races a Harris modified owned by Mills of Webb, Iowa. At Knoxville Raceway in 1996, Noble had a huge victory by winning the Harris Clash. His representation of Modified racing and dedication to the sport made him a very admirable choice as an inductee into the OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame.

An incredible field of Modified drivers made the trip to Ogilvie Raceway with a trip to victory lane in their sights. The Speedway Motors Modified heat races were won by Joey Jensen, Trent Follmer and Eric Martini. Heat 1 was dominated by Jensen who led every lap. Justin Jones quieted the crowd as he rolled his car on the first lap of Heat 2. He was unhurt in the crash. Follmer grabbed the lead on lap two and never looked back. A battle for the lead in Heat 3 saw the cars stampeding around turn 4 five-wide with three drivers holding the front spot at some time in the race with Martini being the last.

A B-Feature was needed to determine the final four transfer spots to the main event. Jason Miller and Jeff Hart battled toe-to-toe for the lead ending up in the top two positions. Also qualifying from the B-Main was Rick Kobs and Travis Saurer. Tim Alexander was added to the A-Feature line-up as the provisional starter. Additionally, Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame inductee Mark Noble was honored with a starting spot in the main event.

Dave Cain in New Vision Graphics Victory Lane - Jacy Norgaard Photo

Lined up on the front row for the 30 lap shootout were Dave Cain and Jason Thoennes. Cain took command of the race on lap one and fronted the field until a yellow flew on lap six for Miller spinning in turn four. Cain stayed at the front on the ensuing restart and stayed there until the next caution on lap fourteen. Keith Tourville dropped a driveshaft ending his night and Mark Noble retired to the pits. Cain picked up where he left off on the restart until Jensen lost his spoiler to bring out the last yellow of the race on lap twenty-eight. Cain dominated every lap of the A-Feature to take the checkers in his Shaw Race Car sponsored by A. Ruppert Well, Inc. The battle for the second position was hotly contested for all thirty laps with runner-up honors going to Danzeisen. They were followed by Follmer, Thoennes and Kelly Estey.

The ASi Racewear Midwest Modified heat winners were Andy Jones, Alan Bohlman, Clayton Wagamon and Shane Sabraski. The B-Feature line-ups were stacked with skilled drivers front front to back with only the top two finishers qualifying for the A-Main. Dan Ebert and Corey Eystad joined the back of the main from B-Feature one. Bud Martini and Ryan Bowers did the same in B-Feature two. The provisional starter in the A-Main was John Broking.

Dustin Scott in New Vision Graphics Victory Lane - Jacy Norgaard Photo

On the front row for the 25 lap A-Feature were first RACEMN winner, Dustin Scott and Dave Mass. Mass took the early lead for the first three laps with Scott taking the lead on lap four. A caution came out on lap seven when a few cars met in turns 1 & 2 including Allen Gessel, Jr. and Dano Ostrander. Justin Oestreich dropped out of the race on lap fourteen after cracking into one of the top five positions. Meanwhile Scott stayed in command of the race for every lap to take his second RACEMN Feature win in his Cobra Transportation Services sponsored ride. He was chased at the finish line by Denis Czech, Clayton Wagamon, Jason Miller, who started thirteenth and Andy Jones.

The Afco Racing Products Mod-four heat races were won by Tom Silver and Rob VanMil. Lined up on row one for the Feature were VanMil and Mike Rau. VanMil grabbed the first lead on lap one and no less than six cautions littered the way through the 20 lap event. VanMil survived every restart and blasted his way to completing a clean sweep in his CRC-SC, Valley Alignment racer. He was trailed by Josh Abrahamson, Conrad Schwinn, Silver and Andy Deters.

Make plans now to attend the two remaining RACEMN Modified series events. The next event in the series is at the North Central Speedway in Brainerd as part of the “Mighty Axe Nationals” on Labor Day, September 6th. The fifth and final leg of the series will take place at Ogilvie Raceway on September 10th during night one of the Harvest Cup. You will want to attend every event as the story unfolds to see who will be crowned the first RACEMN Modified Series Champions.

OGILVIE RACEWAY SET TO INDUCT TWO DRIVERS INTO THE INAUGURAL OCTANETRADE.COM MINNESOTA MODIFIED HALL OF FAME ON AUGUST 3RD

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:16:46 +0000

Silver Bay, MN (July 27, 2010) – The Race Minnesota Modified Series (RACEMN) presented by OctaneTrade.com in partnership with Ogilvie Raceway will induct its inaugural class of drivers into the newly established OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame at the August 3, 2010 RACEMN Event.

The 2010 OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame inductees include:

Ron Jones 2010 - Chris Burback Photo

Ron Jones of Princeton, MN

Princeton, MN driver Ron Jones is regarded as one of the best open wheel Modified drivers to ever strap into a car by most anyone in the industry that has tracked Modified Racing since it’s inception in 1979. When Jones teamed up with legendary car owner Chub Daniels of D&M Performance, the duo created a team with the car to beat wherever they raced for many years. Ron not only dominated around home, he won at nearly every racetrack he ever competed at. Over the years Jones has wracked up more than 500 Modified victories garnering some of the biggest wins in Modified racing along the way. Ron was the first winner of the now famous “Night of a 1,000 stars” held at Hancock County Speedway in Britt, IA. Ron was also the first “Fall Jamboree winner” scoring the win at the Hamilton County Speedway in Webster City, IA back in 1999. If one was to document all the special event wins Ron has accumulated over the years, it would take months. Ron Jones has represented Minnesota and Open Wheel Modified Racing on a National scale for many years and for that we have chosen for Ron to be one of our first two inductees into the OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame.

Mark Noble of Blooming Prarie, MN

Mark Noble DirtRacin.com Photo

The owner of over 600 career open wheel Modified wins, Blooming Prairie, MN legend Mark Noble has stood the test of time in Modified racing. Many “one hit wonders” have come and gone in the long career of the man in the green and white #74. Noble, the three time IMCA SuperNationals Champion, also etched his name in stone as one of the best winning the Harris Clash at Knoxville Raceway in 1996. Mark Noble and Ron Jones not only represented Minnesota and Modified Racing by winning events all over the country, they struck up a rivalry that will likely never be seen again. If you’ve ever been a part of a “Steele 30″ or a “Gopher 50″ at the Steele County Fairgrounds in Owatonna, MN you’ve likely seen this rivalry more than you will anywhere. Noble and Jones fans from all over seem to convene each year to watch them duel at the big 1/2 mile in Owatonna. Many years the Modified portion of the Gopher 50 overshadowed the Late Model portion which was supposed to be featured. Mark’s dedication to the sport over the years has gotten him high praise from some of the best Modified drivers to ever strap in. Kelly Shryock in a 2008 interview on dirtcast.com pinpointed Ron Jones and Mark Noble as the two toughest competitors he has ever faced in his storied career. Coming from a 10-USMTS National Champion, that is high praise. For his dedication to the sport and the way he’s represented Modified racing as a whole we induct Mark Noble as one of the first two drivers in the OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame.

These drivers will be introduced as the first representatives of the OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame on August 3rd at Ogilvie Raceway during the Race Minnesota Modified Series (RACEMN) event. Join us for a celebration of these two great with a ceremony at the facility including a banner drop to hang from the ceiling honoring each inductee to the MMHOF.

A website has been launched for the OctaneTrade.com Minnesota Modified Hall of Fame at: www.mmhof.com that will include information and pictures, and will celebrate the careers of these modified warriors of the dirt. The physical location of the MMHOF will be established at the Ogilvie Raceway during the 2010-11 off season.

On behalf of Barry Braun and Ray Beste of RACEMN, Cliff Sasker of North Central Speedway, Nate Fischer of Ogilivie Raceway and everyone involved with the RACEMN Modified Series we look forward to working with the drivers, fans, pit crew members and sponsors to make the 2010 season a success.

Ogilvie, MN (June 22nd, 2010) – Race two of the RACEMN Modified Series presented by Octanetrade.com took place Tuesday at Ogilvie Raceway with a flare for the dramatic witnessed during the WISSOTA Modified A-main. After reigning victorious in the WISSOTA Midwest Modified A-main earlier in the evening, Blaine, MN ace Clayton Wagamon shocked the world picking up the win in the WISSOTA Modified finale as well. Tom Silver dominated the 20-lap WISSOTA Mod Four A-main completing a great night of racing at the steeply banked 3/8 mile oval located near Ogilvie, MN.

The WISSOTA Midwest Modified A-main was the first item on the docket with 21 drivers making the call for the 25-lap main event. Jason VandeKamp and Wagamon manned the front row starting duties as head flagman Layne Roberts dropped the green. VandeKamp took the lead from the get go while Wagamon settled into second. VandeKamp looked strong out front during the early stages of the event while the field sliced and diced behind. A myriad of yellow flags halted action with VandeKamp still out front 12 laps into the event. With the cross flags showing Wagamon used the extreme high side of the speedway to his advantage. Clayton stole the lead from VandeKamp while tenth starter Jason Miller was the car on the move with ten laps remaining. Miller, who went to the rear of the field earlier in the event after a tire change, marched all the way back up to third with three laps remaining. Miller was able to dispose of VandeKamp for the second spot while Wagamon cruised on to the mighty impressive feature win out front. In the end it was Wagamon ahead of Miller, VandeKamp, Allen Gessell Jr, and row four starter Dave Mass. Gessell Jr, Shane Sabraski, Wagamon, and Ryan Bowers all scored heat race wins earlier in the evening for the WISSOTA Midwest Modified division.

The 20-lap WISSOTA Mod Four A-main was next to roll out onto the racetrack with Josh Abrahamson and Tom Silver on the front row. Silver beat Abrahamson to turn one and took the lead as the 16-car field filed down the backstretch. Silver looked strong early on and was scored the leader at the conclusion of the first lap. On lap three, Silver moved down a groove and began to distance himself from the rest of the field. Back in traffic, 16th starter Brandon Kellen began to work his way to the front. Kellen moved up ten positions during the duration of the A-main finishing a nice run in sixth. Silver continued to lead out front with Abrahamson locked in a battle with Dean Larson, Kyle Thell, and Conrad Schwinn for the second spot with just five laps remaining. In the end Abrahamson would take the spot. Out front it was all Silver taking the win in dominating fashion. Abrahamson turned in another great run coming home second with Schwinn third, Thell fourth, and Dean Larson the final member of the top five. Schwinn was the victor in heat race one with Abrahamson reigning victorious in heat race two.

The final event of the night belonged to the WISSOTA Modifieds with 21 of the best in the business making the call. Herman, MN legend Scot Danzeisen took the lead from the pole on lap one while the field sized up in tow. Track conditions were perfect with drivers utilizing multiple grooves, especially Dave Cain. The Corcoran, Mn native cracked the top five just 9 laps into the event after starting 14th. The first yellow of the event waved on lap nine which would put Wagamon on the backside of Danzeisen for the restart. When the green flag dropped, Wagamon climbed the ladder in turn one blasting by Danzeisen for the top spot off of turn two. Cain continued his onslaught toward the front as he moved into third while Wagamon raced out front. Cain moved into second one lap later and immediately began to pressure the backside of Wagamon for the lead. On lap 17, Cain made a power move to the inside of Wagamon entering turn one. Dave would make the move stick as he powered by for the lead exiting turn two. Back in traffic, Deer Park, WI native Rick Kobs had one of the fastest cars on the speedway. After transferring through a B-main earlier in the show, Kobs moved into third from his 17th starting position with just ten laps remaining. Cain still held the lead while Wagamon began to battle back on the outside. Wagamon stole the lead via the cushion in turn four with nine laps remaining while Cain regrouped back in second. Cain drew close in the closing laps but it was not enough to deny Wagamon his first ever WISSOTA Modified win. Cain had a stellar run coming home second ahead of Kobs, Danzeisen, and Grand Rapids, MN traveler Jeff Broking. Broking, Joey Jensen, Craig Thatcher, and Danzeisen were victorious during qualifying action earlier in the evening for the WISSOTA Modifieds, who boasted 38 entries.
