The 65th anniversary season of racing at Chateau Speedway ended for the year over the weekend with two exciting nights of racing action.

Friday night they were finally able to run the “Spirit of 83 Memorial” which runs in memory of former track champion Mike Guttormson.

It was the 23rd running of the event which had been postponed twice this year because of rain but the wait was worth it.

Adam Hensel of Baldwin, Wis., put on a display of speed an driving in the $2,500-to-win USRA Modified main event as he streaked to the lead and had lapped up to 10th place in the 28-car field before a caution came out with six laps remaining.

Hensel made the car stick any where he wanted on the track as he passed cars high and low without missing a beat.

The late caution allowed Albert Lea’s Kevin Stoa to close up on him for the run to the checkers but Hensel quickly distanced himself again as he pocketed the big paycheck and capped off a perfect night as he also grabbed a win in his heat.

Charlie Steinberg of Kasson and Jason Cummins of New Richland and Stoa took the other heats.

In the USRA B-Mods, Ben Moudry of Protivin, Iowa, made his first appearance at the track a winning one as he swept to wins in his heat and feature events.

Taylor Ausrud of Hayfield, Jett Sorensen of Rochester and Michael Johnson of Austin took heat wins with Kullen Kath of Owatonna grabbing a win in the consy.
