The Racing Insider - 12 Modified Race Report Stewart Friesen poses in Victory Lane after winning the modified feature June 8 at Fonda Speedway. Friesen records modified win By RON SZCZERBA Fonda Speedway FONDA — The heavy rain that drenched the Fonda area on Thursday and Friday threw a curve ball into track conditions for all of the racers on Saturday evening but the Fonda Speedway track crew did a great job to even get the track race ready for the Saturday evening racing program. When the checkered flag flew to complete the modified feature event defending track champion Stewart Friesen was in victory lane for the fourth time this season and the 14th time in his career at the Track of Champions and he gave a lot of credit to the Fonda track crew. "It was a very demanding race track tonight but the track crew did an amazing job to get it ready for racing tonight as they needed to get the show in," Friesen said. Other winners at Fonda on Saturday were Chris Schaffer (1st career win in the 602 sportsman division), Pete Broderson (pro stock), Rob VanAernam (street stock), Ken Hollenback (single cam 4-cylinder), and Shaun Ryba (dual cam 4-cylinder). Justin Boehler led lap one of the modified feature from his outside pole position start before modified rookie Brian Gleason took over the top spot on lap two after starting alongside Boehler on the front row. A.J. Romano started the event in the sixth position and on lap three got by Boehler for the second spot. Three laps later the top two cars of Gleason and Romano were a straightaway ahead of third-place runner Alton Palmer. Jeremy Wilder and Friesen who started 14th made up the top five in the event by lap 12 with Friesen going between the lap car of Ed Harris and Wilder for the fourth position one lap later. The yellow flag was out on lap 17 and on the restart the red flag was thrown after Danny Varin ended up on his roof in turn four with Todd Morey also involved. Varin was not injured but was very disappointed as he was running 10th after starting 26th. On the next restart, Friesen took the third position away from Palmer and a short time later was the new second place car after getting by Gleason on lap 18. Romano held a comfortable lead at that point but was showing signs of smoke as he raced in lap traffic with Friesen closing in quickly. With seven laps remaining, Friesen was right on the rear bumper of Romano but despite the smoke coming from his car Romano did not let off the gas. With five laps to go in the event Friesen made a bonsai move under Romano in turn four and made contact with Romano but let off allowing Romano to recover and hold on to the lead at that point. Romano was three wide between lap cars to hold on to the lead on lap 26 but one lap later there was nothing slowing Friesen's progress as he got by Romano in turn four for the lead. Friesen went on to his second win in a row over Romano, Jeff Trombley, Matt DeLorenzo, and Gleason. In victory lane, Friesen dedicated the win to Bill Anagnostopulos from the Winners Circle who passed away earlier that day. "This one is for Bill and his family," Friesen said. "He was my extra motivation tonight." Complete heat race qualifying results can be found by going to www.fondaspeedway.com and The Leader-Herald/James A. Ellis clicking on the My Laps icon.
