JIM FALLS, Wis. – Michael Truscott was the winner of an unsanctioned modified feature that headlined the opening night of racing on Sunday at Eagle Valley Speedway.
At feature time it was Matt Leer taking the lead from the pole as Truscott moved from inside of the second row into the runner up position. Behind them, Mike Knopps battled Mike Anderson for third. Leer continued to lead, but drove too high in turns one and two and Truscott took advantage, driving below him to the point.
Leer was able to recover as he regained his momentum and drove above the leader and back into first. Behind them, Anderson blasted the high side as Knopps ran low and the two circled the track side-by-side for position. Anderson pulled a crossover move out of turn two and took over third as the charging Calvin Iverson piloted his machine into fourth past Knopps.
The first and only yellow flag of the event saw a spinning Corey Jones slow the pace. On the restart, Truscott made a move and took the lead as Anderson forced the action three wide and moved into second. Leer rebounded in the preferred line up top and edged back past Anderson. Truscott maintained a slight advantage on the high side of the track and with two laps remaining, Leer began to show smoke. Iverson used the highline and pulled even with Anderson as Leer’s night ended with motor issues.
Truscott maintained the lead to the checkered flag as Iverson and Anderson drove door to door for second. On the final lap the two were in lapped traffic and Anderson was caught in a pick behind a slower car. Iverson took the runner up position by a car length as Knopps finished fourth over Alex Williamson.
In other action, Derek Haas raced to victory in the WISSOTA Midwest Modified feature, Cody Kummer topped the WISSOTA Street Stock feature and George Richards claimed the WISSOTA Pure Stock main event.
