Jackson, Minnesota native Matt Wasmund took the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis up to Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, MN this past weekend to compete against the Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprints. Being the last car out, Wasmund qualified 15th quick to start out the evening.
Matt then lined up on the outside front row in the third heat race in which he maintained that 2nd position until another car insisted on a slide job against the 4w almost sending Matt into the wall. Wasmund recovered, but fell back to 5th and was still able that transfer spot into the main event.
The outside of the seventh row is where the 4w started in the main event and at the start, Matt dropped back in the field to 18th. “The start for us didn’t go like we needed to,” says Matt. “But, after I fell back and started making laps the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis really came to and the car was working great!”
Wasmund raced his way up to ninth to cap off the evening and was able to put another top 10 finish in the ’09 stats.
“We’re very happy with this top 10,” explains Wasmund. “We got to the track late, but we managed to stay out of the B-Main and pass quite a few cars today! I have to really thank my crew for giving me such a great car to drive tonight!”
Next up for the Wasmund Racing team will be this Saturday at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, IA to get a couple events in on the legendary speedway to prepare themselves for the upcoming nationals.
