Awesome weekend for Scott Winters and crew and a great comeback by Jerry Richert Jr. for second place after a nasty flip on Friday night.

Here's Justin Zoch's articles from each night of IRA sprint car action at the Masters.
Saturday night:
Winters Sweeps Cedar Lake IRA Masters for Second Straight Year
By Justin Zoch (6-20-09) It took him nearly ten laps to get to the front but once he got there, Scott Winters never relinquished it as he cruised to his second straight victory in IRA competition during the Mastes Weekend at Cedar Lake Speedway. In addition to his two IRA triumphs, Winters also scored the Thursday night UMSS feature event to sweep the three-day weekend.
The feature got off to a rough start when a four-car tangle in turn one involved John Sernett, Phillip Mock, Nick Alden and Bill Balog brought out an extended red flag period. Only Mock was unable to restart. When the green flew again, another tangle involved several cars and Mike Reinke found himself taking a wild ride through turn four. This time, Sernett and Balog were finished in addition to Jake Peters and John Sernett.
When the race finally went green, Jerry Richert Jr. strode to the lead during the first ten laps before Winters marched from ninth to reel him in. The duo exchanged slide jobs on lap 11 before Winters took the lead for good the following lap. A lap 22 yellow for third running Bill Warren gave Richert a shot to catch Winters but it was all for naught as the second-generation star completed his sweep. Richert Jr. held off John Haeni for third while Donny Goeden and Scott Neitzel completed the top five.
Since it was the second night of the two-night Masters Weekend in conjunction with the WDRL Late Model Series, Osborne and Sons Trucking Qualifications were not held and the heat races paid passing points in order to determine the feature lineup. In heat race number one, Robbie Pribnow, in just his second night at Cedar Lake Speedway, held off Ty Bartz while Brad Barickman raced away from the pole position to take heat number two. The third and final heat saw Steve Meyer steal the lead from Rookie of the Year contender Nick Alden with a turn four slide job. Phillip Mock was the B-main winner over Russel Borland, who scratched from the A-main with engine woes. There were 28 cars signed in for the second night of IRA competition at the Masters Weekend Lane Automotive Heat 1 1) Robbie Pribnow, 2) Ty Bartz, 3) Scott Winters, 4) Jake Peters, 5) Scott Neitzel, 6) Russel Borland, 7) Todd Daun, 8) Bill Wirth, 9) Dave Uttech, 10) Scott Lenz VMAC Racing Heat 2 1) Brad Barickman, 2) Mike Reinke, 3) Donny Goeden, 4) John Sernett, 5) John Haeni, 6) Scott Biertzer, 7) Scott Uttech, 8) Adam Miller, 9) Matt Vandervere Wesmar Racing Engines/DMI Heat 3 1) Steve Meyer, 2) Nick Alden, 3) Bill Balog, 4) Jerry Richert Jr., 5) Bill Warren, 6) Phillip Mock, 7) Andy Hunt, 8) Travis Whitney, 9) Joe Symoens Behling Racing Products B-Main 1) Mock, 2) Borland, 3) Daun, 4) S.

Friday night:
Winters Continues IRA Cedar Lake Masters Domination Friday Night
By: Justin Zoch (6-19-09) Last year, Scott Winters swept the Friday and Saturday night doubleheader during the IRA portion of the Masters Weekend at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisconsin, and he kept his streak going again in 2009 with a wire-to-wire victory over a 32-car field on Friday night.
Winters started outside polesitter Bill Wirth on the front row and shot into the lead after a red flag was displayed for Steve Meyer’s flip in turn two. Winters seized the top line and set the cruise as he worked his way through lapped traffic through the race’s middle stages. Meanwhile, Wirth had his hands full of Mike Reinke and Scott Neitzel as they used the high line to catch Wirth and the low groove to pass him.
Winters maintained the lead throughout but things got interesting for the second-generation driver when the caution flew on lap 22. Winters withstood the charge from Reinke and Neitzel and earned the victory. Reinke’s second place finish was his fourth consecutive in IRA competition while Neitzel settled for third at the finish. Wirth capped the best night of his career with a fourth place ahead of current iRA point leader Bill Balog. Jake Peters was sixth followed by 20th-starting John Sernett, 19th-starting Scott Biertzer, Travis Whitney and Donny Goeden.
Earlier, Jake Peters outdueled Davey Heskin to win the Behling Racing Products B-main in an event that saw a quartet of red flags for separate incidents that claimed Cainen Reinan, Ryan Irwin, Dave Uttech and Jerry Richert Jr. In heat race action, Neitzel beat Scott Winters in heat race number one while Haeni held off a hard charging Bill Balog in the second heat. As the third heat was headed trackside, a brief rain shower held up action for nearly 20 minutes before Andy Hunt returned to the track to win heat race number three. In the fourth heat, Rookie of the Year contender Nick Alden won his first career Sprint Car race with a wire-to-wire win over fellow front row starter Donny Goeden.
Peters, driving the Dewall Racing 16, started the night by shredding a tire during his first attempt to take time during Osborne and Sons Trucking Qualifications but returned to take one lap at the end of qualifying and set quick time with a lap of 11. 372 over the 32-car field.
