Clay County Fair Re-Cap for Wasmund Racing 09/11/2008 Sprint Car driver Matt Wasmund out of Jackson, Minnesota takes the Wasmund Racing Team Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis to the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa last night to compete against the toughest sprint car drivers and teams across the nation, the Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaws. Matt put the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis in the top 25 with his qualifying efforts to set him up for the battle in the heat race. With a relatively stacked heat along with a one lane, very fast racetrack, Matt held his own on the track, but unfortunately did not make the transfer into that precious Main Event. Matt and the gang made a few adjustments to the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis just before the start of the Semi. This was Matt’s last opportunity to make it into the Main Event and compete for that $10,000. The changes that were made to the car was all Matt needed to make it into the Main. Matt transferred out of the Semi and guaranteed the Wasmund Team a 21st starting position in the Main Event. With only two laps down, the right rear tire went down on Matt which forced Matt to pull it into the pits. A very respectable run for the Wasmund Team, a start in the Main of an Advance Auto Parts World of Outlaw show is never an easy feat. Keep in tune with Matt and the gang through their team website www.wasmundracinginc.com to follow up on all the latest press releases and race results.

Beaver Dam Re-Cap for Wasmund Racing 08/18/2008 Matt Wasmund out of Jackson, MN, takes the Wasmund Racing Team to Charter Raceway Park in Beaver Dam, WI, this past weekend for yet another battle with the Interstate Racing Association Outlaw Sprints (IRA). With a late qualifying start, Wasmund set a 7th quick time out of 31 other competitors to begin the evening. Matt started the Heat Race in the 5th spot and raced his way up to the 3rd position to retrieve his qualifying efforts and make the re-draw for the lineup of the Main Event. With the luck of the draw on his side, Matt was able to start the Main on the pole. Matt got a great start in the Main, but since the car next to him didn’t, the IRA officials thought Matt jumped the gun so they threw the yellow flag and put Matt one row back. On the restart, Matt took off and ran third until yet another yellow flag was thrown. They scored Matt to be in the 5th spot in which he actually was sitting third, so on the next restart Matt shot off at fifth. Late in the race, Matt spun as he was attempting to lap a car sending him to the back of the field. With just a few laps remaining in the Main Event, Wasmund was able to race the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis up to the 12th position ending the night. An impressive run for the Wasmund Team given the circumstances of the scoring issues and be sure to follow Matt through his website www.wasmundracinginc.com for as a win for the Team is certainly soon to come.

Knoxville Nationals Re-Cap for Wasmund Racing 08/11/2008 The 48th running of the SuperClean Knoxville Nationals was the next event on the schedule for the Wasmund Racing Team out of Jackson, MN. Matt and the gang arrived to the track early for that his scheduled qualifying time was to be on Wednesday. Unfortunately, there are times when things just don’t go right for a race team, and that is what Wasmund Racing experienced the first night out. Everyone gets a few hot laps in before the beginning of the night, and for Wasmund, it was just a time for him to go out and blow up an engine. Not a good start to the night, but the team came very well prepared as another car and motor was ready to go. Unfortunately, with the truck and trailer being out in the parking lot, the team had to leave the pits to get the backup car ready and back into the track. The team hurried to get the car ready by the time the C-Main lined up, but just ran out of time. With over 100 of the best sprint car teams in the nation showing up to this race, there are two nights of qualifying. Thursday night, the other half of the field had to hit the track to attempt two fast laps to make them into the show. Wasmund attempted to qualify, but the officials wouldn’t allow the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis machine to touch the racetrack since his qualifying day was the day before. Tough break, but the team just had to sit Thursday out and wait for the qualifying heats on the next day of the Nationals. With the small backup motor in the car, and acquiring no points thus far throughout the Nationals, the Wasmund Team had to start in the back of one of the toughest heats during the Nationals. Starting 10th, Matt had to race his way up through the field to even have a chance to make it into the B-Main. Knowing his way around the speedway, Matt put the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis in the eighth spot to transfer into that precious B-Main. Wasmund started in the back of the B-Main and raced his way up to the 17th spot on the narrow, very fast racetrack. With one night left for the 48th Annual Knoxville Nationals, Matt and the gang had one last chance to race their way up through the field to start the main event. Not an easy feat, as over 70 cars would needed to be passed to start the Main Event. Matt started towards the rear of the pack in the E-Main and raced his way up to just two spots out of the transfer spot. Overall, it was not a bad weekend for the Wasmund Team. Blowing the engine on the first night and not being able to set a qualifying time really puts a team behind the eight ball for the Knoxville Nationals. But, giving the circumstances, the Wasmund Team put forth an excellent effort to jump over that wall that was placed in front of them at the beginning of the week. Stay tuned to www.wasmundracinginc.com for all the latest news and result updates as for the next race on the schedule for the Wasmund Team is an IRA event in Wilmot, WI.

IRA Racing for the Wasmund Team 07/21/2008 After a week off for the Wasmund Racing Team, Matt and the gang packed up the hauler and headed down to Hancock County Speedway in Britt, Iowa, to compete with some of the fastest in the IRA. This past week, Matt and the gang built a brand new machine and with a brand new power-plant, Matt put the Keizer Wheels XXX Chassis in the top half of the field in qualifying setting a 16th quick time amongst 32 other drivers to start out the night at Hancock Speedway. Starting third in the heat, Matt struggled with the car due to a brake failure and lost a few spots, but he kept his elbows up and raced a broken car back up to the number three spot to guarantee him a starting position in the Main Event. Wasmund started in the eighth row in the Main and with a few cars past and a few laps down, the brakes in the Wasmund Machine failed yet again, forcing Matt to end his night early. After the night was over the Wasmund Team found that the new master cylinder in the brake system was the cause of all the pain and agony throughout the night in Britt. With the car fixed, the Wasmund team headed to Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, Minnesota, for another battle with the IRA. After hot laps, Mother Nature decided to darken up the skies and allow the water to fall, shortening the evening for the Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprint Car Event.
