Puppy and Pepsi. Next weeks races will be sponsored by Auto Value Bumper to Bumper.

the "Race Against Drugs" coloring contest winners and the drivers will be
out on the track during intermission for autographs.
With the lead in the WISSOTA Super Stock Feature, Randy Spacek was followed by Scott
Johnson, Paul Lieders, Jere Stanton and Lonnie Leu. Lonnie was on a mission as he
made a quick movein the second lap, passing Stanton with Eric Bolosky in tow. He
then edged his way past Lieders in thefourth lap, securing the third position just before
a caution in the next lap was called.
Moving into second, one lap after the restart Leu then began a hard charge
on Spacek for the
lead. Spacek was able to hold off Leu's relentless pressure until lap eleven when
Lonnie made a low,
inside pass in corner four to take over the front position. Paul Lieders was called
on a caution after getting tangled up with Scott Johnsonin lap fourteen, moving Bolosky up
into fourth and Stanton in fifth. Six final laps of fast paced action was held as Leu took
the thrilling win, Spacek second, Johnson third and Stanton and Rich Bishop passing
Bolosky to the line for fourth and fifth.
A front row start in the WISSOTA Street Stock Feature, had Kevin Adams grabbing the quick
lead, followed by Jason Kellner, Chris Oertel, Brent Mindock and Rod Herman. Oertel and
Mindockclosed in on Kellner, overtaking second and third in lap four. Manuevering his way
through traffic, after a fifth row start, Kirk Bogdanovic moved into fourth in the sixth
lap, and used the inside groove in corner four to pass Mindock in the next lap for third.
A caution in the ninth lap tightened up the pack, sending a disappointed Mindock to
the back. Nonstop action was held to the finish as Adams took the win, Bogdanovic made a
last lap pass on Oertel for second, Rod Herman fourth and
Kellner fifth.
David Baxters night ended early after leading the way in the WISSOTA Modified Feature for
two laps, when he drifted high in the backstretch, hitting the wall hard. Moving
into the lead, Luke
Schilling was followed by Lance Burt, Scott Duval, Jack Larson and Jeff Spacek. Duval took
over the second position in lap five, and Spacek pressured Burt, passing for third after
eleven laps were completed.
A caution tightend up the pack when Marty Schwantes and Bob Sammann were
both struck with car
failure in lap thirteen. Steve Kuester was making his way through traffic to
position himself in sixth after a seventh row start, followed by sixth row starter, Steve
Isenberg and Jerry Weigel who had an eighth row start. Schilling had his work cut
out for him as Duval and Spacek applied heavy pressure as they made their way around the
track nearly three-wide lap after lap. Weigel gained ground, passing Kuester for
sixth in lap seventeen. A caution on Jack Larson in lap eighteen set up a fast dash
to the finish line. Schilling put on a fantastic show as he grabbed his second, hard
fought to the finish feature win of the season, Duval took second by a half car length
over Spacek, who finished
third, Weigel taking 4th and Kuester in fifth.
The A-Mod Feature had some hard hits in the first lap when Shane Halopka lost control
after
getting loose in corner four. Trying to avoid a collision, Rob Genett got turned
around sideways in the frontstretch, skimming the wall and was slammed hard into the
side of his car by Luke Lobacz, followed by Scott Anderson running into Lobacz.
Genett and Lobacz left the track with major damage, Anderson was able to continue.
Pat Zdroik held the dominate lead from start to finish, followed by Mickey Nosser in
second, Anderson third and Jeff Wilczek in fourth.
