BURLINGTON, WI (Monday, June 22, 2009) – The fifth event of the 2009 season for the American Speed Association Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment is now in the books. It was a successful debut at Illiana Motor Speedway as Jacob Goede took home his second ASAMT win.

GOEDE ENDS A LONG PERSONAL DROUGHT

There is an old saying that you should enjoy each win, because it could be your last win. The 24-year-old driver from New Germany, MN was hoping that wasn’t the case for him. Goede’s last win, according to him, came on June 26, 2008 when he won a late model event at Mansfield Motorsports Park. Since then, he hasn’t had any win of any kind. It only took him 359 days to end his drought.

SCHERERVILLE, IN (Saturday, June 20, 2009) - Jacob Goede was more than ready for a win, any kind of a win, as his last personal win came back on June 26, 2008. Tonight, he held off a hard charging Mark Kraus to win the 8th Annual Elmer Musgrave Memorial 100 in front of a great crowd at Illiana Motor Speedway, an ASA Member Track.

Goede started fifth in the 26-car field and would take over the top spot from early leader Steve Carlson on lap 36 and then held off a hard charging Mark Kraus to claim his second American Speed Association Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment Super Late Model Series event.

“That was huge, I thought he was going to be tough to beat especially with him starting up front especially the way how he drove away from everybody in the last two races,� an excited Goede stated in victory lane as he talked about passing the veteran Carlson for the lead. “To be able to drive by him was amazing, I didn’t think I was going to be able to do it as fast as I did.�
