JIM FALLS, Wis. – Jake Hartung topped the WISSOTA Modified feature on opening night at Eagle Valley Speedway Sunday evening.
Justin A-Strike and Mike Anderson sat on the front row for the 20-lap modified feature. A first lap scramble found A-Strike in the lead as Hartung drove to second and Michael Truscott moved to third as Anderson found himself shuffled out of the top three.
A-Strike drove the high groove in the lead, but Hartung drove low and closed in. Hartung was able to drive under the leader for the point, but A-Strike did not go away immediately as he continued to scorch the upper line trying to regain the position.
Hartung was able to establish control and began to drive away from the group as Truscott began to work on second place and was able to power under A-Strike, making the pass. As the laps clicked away, Hartung stretched his advantage to a straightaway and he dominated for the win in his SSR chassis.
Anderson took over third and closed on second place Truscott, but followed him to the finish line. A-Strike finished fourth ahead of Cole Varsho in fifth.
Other winners Sunday at Eagle Valley included Tommy Richards (WISSOTA Super Stocks), C.J. Wagner (WISSOTA Street Stocks), Nick Koehler (WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds), George Richards (WISSOTA Pure Stocks) and Jason Junker (EVS Hornets).
