Vincent Merry of Wadsworth,IL. won his first career super late model
contest,a 25 lap feature for the first twenty five lap event.Eddie May of Crystal Lake,IL.
won his eighth super late model feature, the second feature of the evening.Former legends
driver and current NASCAR touring elite series driver Jeff Way of Burlington won the
overall finish with his fourth in the first feature and then third in the second
feature.Way won by one point over May.The super mini cups came from 5 states to
participate in a special event sponsored by Valvoline motor oil. The winner of the 20 lap
feature that went down to the wire,was Carol Stream,IL.driver Barndon Scurto. The super
mini cups presented Valvoline products to all division that raced tonight. A big thank you
goes out to President Jeff Myers and the group.
The sportsman feature was just two laps old when Denny Norton Jr. spun causing a Yellow
Book USA caution period. Adam Mass who led those first two laps, darted out front again
holding the lead for the next three laps before Kenny Joosten moved in front until the
next caution for a Gary LaMonte spin on lap eight. Joosten out ran Mass to the corner by
just inches,as John Senerchia moved in right behind them. Gary Norton was now fourth.By
lap eleven the field was very tight ,as Senerchia had moved into second.The race would
remain non stop to finish, as Joosten claimed his second feature of the series.Senerchia
was second, with Erik Pierce third, John Janssen fourth, James Swan was fifth and Mass was
sixth.A post race inspection dropped Senerchia from the finish and Gary Norton moved up to
sixth,as everyone moved up.
Mike Gunderson only in his fourth night of super late model competition moved in front of
the twenty car field at the drop of the green,holding the top spot until lap six when
Michael Kruschke moved in front. This would be short lived as the new
leader dropped out one lap later after the black flag came out.Gunderson again became the
leader as Vincent Merry regrouped himself and charged back in front on lap thirteen and
never looked back for his first victory. Rob Summers was second, with Mike Meyerhofer,
Jeff Way, Gunderson and Jamie Wallace next.
The second feature brought Joe Fischer out front with Don Collins, Rick Corso and Fran
Prestay tonight fast qualifier next.Corso moved from third to second by lap five,before
Eddie May moved in and then passed him on lap eleven.By lap
sixteen May caught Fischer before passing for the lead. While this was going on
Prestay was following May’s every move,before securing second one lap later. The five
lap dash for the win was close, as May crossed the line before Prestay
Way was at his side in third,with Corso fourth,Fischer fifth and Kent Burkoth sixth in
another non stop event.
Vaughn Lesko took the lead in the super stock feature,before second generation driver
Jamie Starks moved in front.Tom Jastrab, Tom Roney, Randy Schneider and points leader
Scott Norton. Schneider moved into second on lap two, with some
shuffling going on for the top twelve positions. Schneider moved in front on lap five with
Norton right on his tail. For the next five laps it was a see/saw battle top front with
Schneider holding his own until lap ten when Norton crept by. Other than
Mike Gunderson joining the top three,the next ten laps didn’t change many things.
Norton held back the challenges from second place finisher Schneider and Gunderson your at
his side.Roney, Ken Eisbrenner and fast in time, Adam Regnier
were next for this non stop contest.
