For Cisewski the win was not only redemption, but also more rewarding, as he got to share the win with his wife Jenny, as she was in attendance. “It’s a great feeling, been one of my goals for this year, and I’ve really been working at it. I was finally able to beat Curt (Luhmann) and of course, like anything else, it took a little luck out here tonight.”

CRESCO, IA. – Curt Luhmann earned a weekend sweep by winning the Sunday night shootout at Cresco Speedway, but he was nearly unseated by Bob Cisewski, who drag raced him down the backstretch on the final lap of the 20-lap feature.
For Luhmann, the win comes as his fourth of the year, but the driver of the No. 8 Luhmann Farms machine explains it was the most fun he’s had this season, saying “There was no way I was going to lose this race on the final lap.

WEST UNION, IA. – Curt Luhmann motored to his third win of the season Friday night at the 3/8-mile Fayette County Speedway, extending his points lead in the championship standings.
Luhmann passed Joe Provinzino for the lead on a lap five restart, where Provinzino says the car shut off in front of the field. Provinzino was forced to retire from the race early, but Luhmann never looked back. He led the last 15 laps, virtually unchallenged.
“(It’s) just a great feeling, to come out here and win to build our points lead. The hard work is starting to pay off, and hopefully we can stay on top for the remainder of the season,” a celebratory Luhmann stated after the race.
