NORWAY TOWNSHIP — Gleason, Wisconsin’s Justin Mondeik grabbed the lead on lap 41 and danced through lapped cars and fought off fellow Wisconsin driver Braison Bennett at the line to capture the Bob Iverson Memorial on Dickinson County Fair night at Norway Speedway on Sunday.

Mondeik’s margin of victory was slim — .041 seconds.

Champions were crowned in all the divisions. They included Green Bay, Wisconsin’s Chad Butz, late model; Norway’s Joey Pontbriand, super stock; Marion, Wisconsin’s B.J. Schoneck, stock car; Kingsford’s Brent Barglind, sport truck; Hermansville’s Dean Bellmore, 4 banger; and Kingsford’s Jim Chartre in the spectator eliminator.

Mondeik started 12th in the 19-car field and patiently bided his time in the early going. Pole-sitter Mike Reichenberger of Appleton led much of the early action and began encountering lapped traffic himself by lap 15.

After a couple of early yellows Mondeik had sliced his way up to 3rd by lap 35 and motored around Scott Stanchina for the runner-up spot two circuits later. Mondeik motored past Reichenberger for the top spot with 59 laps remaining.

Meanwhile Bennett, who started 10th in the Coleman Racing Products entry, worked his way up to second by the event’s midway point and kept the Gleason hotshot within striking distance as Mondeik squeezed past the lapped traffic.

On a few occasions in the last 30 laps, that lapped traffic allowed Bennett to close in on Mondeik’s rear bumper. On the final lap, as the leaders crossed the checkers, it was a lapped car that impeded Mondeik just enough, giving Bennett a ray of hope of catching the win. However, the third generation racer came up less than one-tenth of a second away from victory, placing second.

Butz, who already had the track title wrapped up — team driving with Mike D’Angelo — placed third. Former track champion Dan Lindsley and Stanchina placed fourth and fifth, respectively.

In the super stock main, second-place points finisher Anthony Schiefelbein scored a consolation prize of sorts — holding off Pontbriand in a paint-trading thriller in which Schiefelbein scored his third feature flag of the season. Pontbriand took home runner-up honors, followed by Tony Wender, Kevin Peterson and Nick Anderson.

Schoneck scored his stock car track title by simply taking the green flag in the division’s main event, which was won by Spread Eagle, Wisconsin’s Todd Schmidt. Kingsford’s Brent Barglind won both the battle and the war. The former track champion scored the sport truck feature win and in doing so, came out champion in the tightest of point battles.

Hermansville’s Dean Bellmore, who was forced to pit with a flat tire midway through the race, mustered up a ninth place finish. That was good enough to earn him the 4 banger track title. The feature race was won by Brent Ayotte.

The Dickinson County Racing Association would like to thank the fans, race teams and employees for a successful 2021 campaign.
