His first Super Stock feature win!
Terry Gorst hauled in his first ever WISSOTA Super Stock feature victory
here at MHR. Gorst had to work for it every lap as he lead the main event from start
to finish. |
Friday nights WISSOTA Super Stock feature was a fast paced twenty
lap run, with only one caution held early in the second lap. With the lead, Terry
Gorst ran a strong race from start to finish, despite being heavily challenged by Eric
Bolosky and Randy Spacek throughout the race. Gorst grabbed a well deserved first
feature win at MHR, followed by Bolosky 2nd, Spacek 3rd, Lonnie Leu 4th and Jim
Willner in 5th.
| Rod Herman (#71R) did a
great job fending off a late race challenge by WISSOTA Street Stock point leader Kevin
Adams to record his first feature win of the 2000 season. |
 |
Rod Herman was also forced to defend his lead in the WISSOTA Street Stock feature race, as
he was closely followed by Kevin Adams and Kirk Bogdanovic. Running three-wide as
they rounded corner four in the eighth lap, Herman was able to hold onto the lead.
Losing power, Bogdanovic
fell back quickly behind the pack, bringing out a caution after eleven laps of completion.
At the restart, Adams applied heavy pressure on Herman, using the outside groove as they
completed the final four laps. Herman held his ground, escaping a near pass by Adams as
they raced past the
checkered flag. Herman collected his first feature win of the season, Adams 2nd, Chris
Lindner 3rd, Jason Kellner 4th and Ken Heser 5th.
| Tony Bahr (#QQ) made his
first trip to MHR a memorable one when he grabbed his first ever feature win at the track,
besting a strong WISSOTA Modified field. |
 |
With a pole position start for the lead in the WISSOTA Modified
feature, newcomer Tony Bahr
held his ground as he was pursued by strong-runners, Steve Kuester and Jeff Spacek from
the first lap to the finish. A caution flew in the eighth lap, just as Spacek was
making a high move on Kuester in the backstretch. Kuester maintained the second
position at the restart and continued to challenge Bahr as he nearly made a high pass for
the lead in lap eleven. Bahr then opened up the lead and never looked back to haul
in a solid first feature win at MHR. Kuester 2nd, Spacek 3rd,
Duval 4th and Kuyoth 5th.

An auspicious debut! Pat
Zdroik (#z1) made his first appearance in A-Modified action and walked of with a feature
victory. |
Making his first appearance in the A-Mod feature, Pat Zdroik edged
out Craig Lieders for the lead with a low, inside corner four move in the second
lap. As Zdroik stretched out a half-lap lead, Lieders, Rob Genett and Scott Anderson
put on a good show as they battled each for positions
throughout the race. Anderson gained ground on Genett, making a passing for third after
eleven laps.
Zdroik breezed past the checkered flag for his first feature win at MHR, Lieders 2nd and
Anderson in 3rd.
