(KAUKAUNA, WI) June 6 –Casey Johnson of Cambridge took the lead with 9 laps remaining to capture the super late model feature at Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna Thursday night on Al Huss/Valley Gasket night at the races.
Appleton’s Jeff Van Oudenhoven took command early in the 35 lap Super Late Model main event. A single caution on lap 3 bunched the field. As the race restarted Oudenhoven pulled away leaving the battle for the runner up spot to Freedom’s Kyle Calm and Fast Qualifier Casey Johnson of Cambridge. Johnson disposed of Calm with 13 laps remaining. Johnson began to chew away at Oudenhoven’s lead. Once Johnson caught the leader, he took his racer to the top groove blasting by Oudenhoven to take the top spot. Johnson never looked back scoring his first win of the season.
“The cars so strong and it’s been strong all year, we got to the leader with 10 to go and I was going to go wherever Oudenhoven wasn’t.” Said Johnson after his victory.
Appleton’s Bryan Monday scored a clean sweep in the Late Models. Monday was Fast Qualifier, won the dash and held off a persistent challenge from Kaukauna’s Nate Van Wychen to score the victory.

Wilz and Treml raced door to door until they encountered lap traffic on lap 15. Wilz spun off the track in turn 2, handing the lead back to Treml. Kaukauna’s Ed Howard closed in late but it was Treml scoring his first win of the 2019 season.
