Bunke Racing Claims Podium Finishes At the J&K Marine Beach Bar 200
Moorhead, Minn. (January 5, 2015) –Bunke Racing claims podium finishes at the USXC J&K Marine Beach Bar 200 Detroit Lakes, MN.
The Temperature was cold but, Saturday’s race brought some heat with heads up racing in Detroit Lakes. The wind was whipping and so were the Polaris AXYS snowmobiles. You could say it looked like Gabe had his sled on rails the way he glided around every corner. The Bunke Racing crew had their sleds dialed in.
The first race of the day was a qualifying heat and placement for the Pro Final. With a fresh dusting of snow and howling winds made snow dust a factor all day. Gabe kept his cool and rounded out the field for a front row starting position. The Pro final was heads up racing; sleds were lined up in 4 rows starting 5 seconds apart. Gabe had Herfindahl in his sights but the checkered flag was flown before he could make a move. Gabe landed on the podium securing the 2nd place position. Spencer Kadlec had a solid day finishing in the 6th place position. “The Polaris sleds are working well,” said Bunke. “We are really happy with how our AXYS sleds have been running and handling on the ice and looking forward to transitioning into the ditch.”
Taylor Bunke took home some hardware in the Semi Pro Improved class, earning a spot on the podium grabbing the 3rd place trophy and check.
Another notable Polaris Podium for the day was Pro Women’s driver, Kelsey Pladson who took home 2nd place in the Pro Women’s class. Pladson ran 12 seconds behind Polaris rider, Jill Tangen.
Up next for Bunke Racing will be the No Bull Triple Crown Saturday, January 10th in Kinross, Michigan. Gabe and Polaris team member Aaron Christensen are geared up and ready for this ½ mile 500 lap race. USXC will hit the ditches in Grafton, ND on January 17th 2015.
