July 28, 1996
"LaCrosse 300"
LaCrosse (WI) Fairgrounds Speedway

WON!!!!!!!!!!				Started: 3rd, 19.464 (100.801 mph)

Each victory gets sweeter as they come! Bob Senneker captured his 82nd ASA 
win at LaCrosse before a huge Wisconsin crowd. Bob was the quickest during 
practice on Saturday, but was only 3rd fastest in qualifying. When the green 
flag dropped, the weather broke; which was questionable, and it turned out 
to be a beautiful day. Bob dropped to 5th at the start and by lap 24 he was 
in 6th while the car was "loose". At lap 75 he was in still in 6th, by lap 
100 he was 7th but got back to 5th by lap 107. The 2nd caution waved at lap 
115, we came in for left side tires and gas. A stellar performance by the 
Senneker Motorsports crew was turned in, by coming in 5th and came out 
first. An 11.35 stop was reeled off by John, Jimmy, Brian, Todd, Roger, Mike 
& Joe, although coming out first, the leaders Eddy and Raines stayed out on 
the track. When the green drops at lap 121, Bob is in 3rd place, at lap 133 
Bob radios the crew that he is losing the brakes again, similar to 
Jennerstown, only this time it was the rears. When the 3rd caution came at 
lap 137, Bob dove into the pits to assess and repair the brakes, the crew 
did just that without losing a lap, when he returned to the track he was 
running in 14th position. The 4th caution came at lap 170, the "Bluebird"  
came to the service of the crew to refill the brake fluid and pinch off the 
line to the right rear, Bob will have to run this race on 3 brakes, when the 
green waves at lap 177 Bob is running 14th. By lap 194 he is 13th, by lap 
200 he is 12th, lap 216 he is 11th, 217 he is 10th. After the 5th caution 
Bob was 6th, 5th at lap 231, 4th by lap 237, 3rd at lap 240. At the 6th 
yellow flag, the leader Eddy pits, giving the lead to Loney with Bob running 
2nd. When the green flag waved at lap 262, Bob dogged the leader until he 
passed for the lead at lap 279 and held off the late race charge of Mike 
Eddy. The finish was Bob, Eddy, Loney , Hansen and Raines. "The crew did a 
great job to repair the brakes, they are the best!", Senneker said. "The car 
was quick all weekend, we just need to quit having these little problems". 
The ASA cars next visit the Lancaster Speedway near Buffalo, New York, that 
race will be televised live on TNN, starting at 1 pm (edt)
