Watertown, South Dakota (06/02/11) – Jon Tesch from Watertown, South Dakota is the latest addition to the MSRMafia.com team and has launched a brand new website at www.JonTesch.com .
Jon pilots his #14 Tesch Motorsports/B&E Concrete/GRT/Sput's Racing Engine Open Wheel Modified on the Casey's General United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) tour and also in various high-profile events across the nation. He is also one of the feature drivers on the hit television program, Dirt Knights.
Tesch was last in action over the Memorial Day weekend as he set out to enter four events in four days with the Casey's General USMTS tour. Although Mother Nature would alter the schedule, all four events would be held. The weekend began on Thursday night at Highway 3 Raceway (Allison, Iowa). It would be a rough night for Jon as he would heavily damage a car in heat race action, forcing him to a backup car for b-main action. He would manage to race his way into the main event via the b-main. After starting 22nd on the grid he would battle his way through the pack to finish in the sixth position in the final rundown. Along the way he earned the Mesilla Valley Transportation Hard Charger Award for his efforts.
Friday's event, which was scheduled for Chateau Raceway (Lansing, MN) fell victim to rain and was postponed until Monday evening. As a result the team was next in action on Saturday evening at Deer Creek Speedway (Spring Valley, MN) as a stellar field of 62 Open Wheel Modifieds signed in to battle in the $2,000 to win event. The night would start well for Tesch as he won his heat race to lock into the redraw, where he received the fourth starting spot for the 40 lap feature. In the main event, Tesch would find himself at the front of the pack for the duration of the event before registering a third place finish behind race winner, Ryan Gustin, and Jason Hughes.
Sunday's event at Dodge County Speedway (Kasson, MN) would see Mother Nature interfere once again as rains set in before the feature forcing it to be rescheduled to Monday afternoon. Prior to the rain arriving Jon raced from his fourth starting spot to win his heat race, which once again locked him into Monday's afternoon's redraw. In the redraw, Tesch would receive the 4th starting spot. He would quickly work his way forward at the drop of the green flag, and on lap 17 of the 40 lap affair he would race past leader, Tim Donlinger to claim the lead. Over the next several laps Jon would build a sizeable lead and looked to be on his way to a comfortable win before disaster struck with just eleven laps remaining when he received contact from a lap car resulting in a flat tire. He would be forced pitside for fresh rubber and would rejoin the tail of the field to salvage a disappointing 13th place finish.
The team would conclude their busy weekend on Monday night with the rescheduled Chateau Raceway (Lansing, MN) event. Via preliminary action, Jon would earn the 22nd starting position for the 40 lap, $2,000 to win feature. Tesch would drive through the field once again to finish in the eighth spot in the final rundown.
With his weekend performances, Jon is currently second in the Yeager Machine Upper Midwest Region standings behind Ryan Gustin. For full weekend results, please visit www.USMTS.com.
This weekend, June 3rd-4th, Tesch will be back out on the Casey's General USMTS trail as he enters the 8th Annual Spring Thaw at Junction Motor Speedway (McCool Junction, NE). The event, which was postponed by weather back in March will consist of a $2,000 to win program on Friday and a $3,000 to win event on Saturday.
