Shawano,WI,9/4/09—Jay Welsing showed once again why he is one of the best racers around when it comes to wheeling an endure car.. Eighty five cars lined up three abreast to start the second annual Shawano County Fair Enduro Race. Bonduel racer, Greg Banker, took the lead on the opening lap, but he would not hold it for long. Mark Pluer quickly put his machine in front of the stout filed of cars. Pluer was hotly pursued by Banker and Welsing. As the first red flag of the race flew on lap eighteen, the running order had Pluer out front followed by Welsing, Banker, Todd Welsing, and Frank Calabrese.

When racing resumed Pluer continued to hold a slight advantage over Banker and Jay Welsing as the three began to separate themselves from the rest of the field.
