JEFFERSON, WI (Saturday, September 19, 2009) Ross Kenseth of Spring Valley, IL continued his string of success in the Big 8 Series by claiming the overall title for the 29th annual Wisconsin State Championships presented by Miller Brewing Co. Kenseth combined finishes of third and second in the twin 65 lap features to claim his crown.
Jefferson’s Kyle Jarlsberg led flag to flag to capture the first 65 lap Late Model main event. Jarlsberg grabbed the lead from pole sitter Scott Broughton as they crossed the stripe to complete the first lap. James Swan pulled into second with Doug Hahn riding in fourth. The leaders ran nose to tail until caution slowed the field on lap 18. As the green returned, Jarlsberg slipped away from the pack slightly as Hahn went to work on Swan for third. Hahn took the spot on lap 37 while Jarlsberg increased his advantage. Caution erased that lead on lap 38 as Kenseth made his way into the top five. Jarlsberg moved back out to a healthy lead once again as racing resumed and he charged to the checkers for the win. Broughton claimed second followed by Kenseth, Hahn and Jeremy Miller.
