Van Ooyen returns to victory lane at Seymour
By Dave Panske SEYMOUR, Wis. (June 22) – Chas Van Ooyen Jr. won his first Coors Light IMCA Stock Car feature at Seymour Speedway since Aug. 2 of 2009 Sunday night. Jake Lunderby led the opening lap Van Ooyen taking over the top spot on lap two. Rod Snellenberger moved into third on lap third and moved right behind the leader. Van Ooyen was hooked up in the second groove and Snellenberger was hugging the inside line. Barry Van Straten moved into third and made a three-car run for the lead through the first half of the race. By then, Van Ooyen and Snellenberger had started to pull away from the pack in a side-by-side battle that continued to the finish of the non-stop race. Snellenberger would charge up to the door several times over the last half of the race but each time, Van Ooyen had the answer on the outside. With a couple laps left, Snellenberger made a last-ditch effort to take the lead, running dead even at the white flag. Mike Wedelstadt [Read More]
