Jeff Way of Waterford, WI won his first feature of the season taking home $1050 for his win of the 50-lap main event for super late models Saturday night at Lake Geneva Raceway.  Dan Huber in victory lane after topping the super stock feature race Saturday night at Geneva.

Jerry Freeman led the first lap of the super late model contest with nineteen cars behind him. Jeff Way inched ahead one laps later with visiting Adam Royale creeping past Freeman the next go round later. Jerry Cowan worked on Freeman the next nine laps before the first caution came out for a spin by Royale that caused a nine car pile up. Matt Kocourek and Erik Darnell were the only cars that required pit stops but they did return by the next green.

Way darted out front with Landry Potter, visiting Chris Weinkauf and Fran Prestay in a cluster. This was a short lived green as Freeman and Cowan made contact causing another stop. Then one more caution before racing began as Rick Corso spun in front of the large crowd that watched on. Finally under way Way led one more lap before Potter slipped in front. Fran Prestay also got by. But Way wasn’t going to give up. They diced for the position many times this went on until Way marched back in front on lap twenty six.

This advance was short lived because Jamie Wallace scooted in front one lap later. Wallace led laps twenty seven, twenty nine, Way led the others. On lap thirty one Way  again took control and went on to win this major event, behind the leader Prestay secured second one lap later finishing that way. At the checkered Wallace was third, with Corso recovering to fourth,Weinkauf was fifth and Jerry Freimund sixth.

For the second week in a row the super stock feature got off to a rocky start. Before one lap could be completed, Mike Gunderson who turned fast time for the first time in his career got squeezed into the wall. Gunderson never returned after pitting because of   heavy damage. The next green Shane Scarpace spun while running mid pack and another caution appeared. Each time Dustin Holland led the opening,then second lap. Tom Fay moved in front on lap three. On lap nine Tom Roney while running third broke an axle and out came another caution.

Fay led just one more lap before Dan Huber grabbed the lead, one lap later Norm Paulsen was challenging the new leader. Scarpace spun again on lap twelve, with two more cautions to follow. One was Holland’s spin on the restart,the second for Tom Jastrab having his right front wheel to break off. Then it rained hard, but because of the heat, when the rain stopped three minutes later, it took very little time to dry.

It was all out racing until lap twenty two when Mike Hansen lost his radiator all over turn two and out came the final caution. After a brief shower delay Huber won the race over point leader Rob Summers, Paulsen, Sonny Schoffen, Brad Norgard,
and Adam Mass.

The sportsman feature was outstanding as the top ten running cars stayed side by side the entire race that went non-stop. Jeremy Bloomberg moved in front at the get go with Ken Joosten at his side. Barry Krueger was third but point leader Jeremy Miller was on the move along with Gary LaMonte and Erik Pierce.

On lap ten Denny Norton Jr. joined the fray.One lap later Joosten slipped in front. The see/saw race behind the new leader was great,one more lap was completed and LaMonte got past Miller. The crowd went wild as Bloomberg moved back in front  on lap sixteen. The top ten were too close to call with just five laps to go, but somehow Miller inched his way into third with just four laps to go, then into second with three laps to go. Coming off turn four Bloomberg got just wide enough for Miller to get inside.

This opened the door for LaMonte to sneak by the fallen leader. Miller drove home to victory in an exciting race.LaMonte held back Bloomberg for second.Pierce was fourth, Joosten fifth and Norton sixth. The joy of winning was dashed after a post race inspection dropped Miller to last. This moved Bob Hacker into sixth.
