Matt Wasmund
Season Starts for Wasmund Racing
Matt Wasmund out of Jackson, MN headed out to the special 410 Sprint show at I-90 Speedway this past Friday to get the 2009 season underway. He qualified 6th quick with an 11.40 just 4 tenths off the leader. Starting on the outside of the first row in the heat race, Matt held his own until the 23w of Scott Winters managed to get around the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis and set the finishing order for the heat of Ballenger, Winters and Wasmund rounding out the top three.
With a young fan from the stands pulling out the #8 pill, Wasmund was able to start in the upper half of the field on the outside of row four. Throughout the 25 lap contest, the Jackson, MN native powered through the field and up to fourth until the rubber came down late in the race. Matt missed the rubber that was laid up on the top of the race track was overtaken by a couple other drivers dropping the Wasmund Racing 4w to the eighth position capping off the evening. “I feel the night was very solid,” explains Matt, “It was the first race of the year for us and we used tonight to make sure the car was ready to rock. The Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis was perfect all night and I can’t wait to see what is to come for the remainder of the season!”
Next up for the Wasmund Racing Team will be Huset’s Speedway in Brandon, SD to compete against some of the best in the Midwest on the high banked 3/8ths dirt oval.
