Matt Wasmund
IRA Racing for the Wasmund Team
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. Next week’s plans for the Wasmund Team is to head up to River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, North Dakota, followed by an event in Warren, Minnesota, to compete with the Northern Outlaw Sprint Association (NOSA).
