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. By lap fifty of the race it was Welsing making his presence known at the front of the field with Banker now in the second spot and Pluer third.

On lap fifty nine Pluer made the pass on Welsing to take back the top spot. His lead would be short lived though, after getting a flat tire on lap sixty five. Welsing took the lead back and was there to stay. Mike Loberger was now in the runner up spot on the track followed by Mark Mincheski.

The running order at the halfway point had Jay Welsing in the lead followed by Calabrese, Mike Prey, Mincheski, Andy Kleczka, Pluer, Jay Orr, John Leisner, Chris Hidde, and Ben Pleshko. Welsing was in a race of his own, as he had a few laps on the rest of the field. Behind Welsing a great battle continued for the remaining spots in the top ten.

As the checkered flag waved Welsing picked up the win with three laps on the field. Mincheski held of Calabrese to finish second. Liesner was fourth. Todd Welsing came back to finish the race in fifth.
