September 26, 2011 -Dan Lensing won the 40 lap feature for the ASA Midwest SCAG Truck Tour at Madison International Speedway on Saturday, September 25th for the Madison Fall Classic.
The front row of Kyle Brinkmann and Vince Wilkinson brought the field of eighteen ASA Midwest SCAG Truck Tour trucks to the green flag. Wilkinson would gain the early advantage with Jerry Wood up to second. On lap 4 Wood dropped to the inside of Wilkinson and the two raced side by side before being joined by Rick Corso. Corso would sneak by Wilkinson and pull inside of Wood for the lead before Wood regained the top spot one lap later.
Meanwhile Dan Lensing was a rocket coming up through the field and was up to join Wood and Corso for the lead. Wood and Corso would take turns leading while Lensing was trying to find a way around the pair.
On lap 15 Wood was able to finally extend his lead to two car lengths while Corso was doing everything he could to hold off Lensing. A stalled car in turn two would bring out the race’s first caution flag on lap 17.
Wood led the field to the green on the restart with Corso pulling to the outside. Once again it was time for exciting side by side racing with Wood on the inside, Corso on the outside and Lensing patiently waiting for his opportunity.
Austin Luedtke would move to fourth on lap 21 followed by Ty Majeski and Andy Jirik. Lensing would get by Corso for second on lap 22 and set his sights on Wood who he would overtake for the lead coming out of turn four on lap 24.
