WILMOT, Wis. — Eric Wilke earned his first WIlmot Raceway AutoMeter Powered By Gandrud Performance Wisconsin WingLESS Sprints Series 20-lap feature win of the season on Carload & Fireworks Night Tuesday.
“It’s always fun to win here at Wilmot, and on fireworks night makes it even more special,” said Wilke. “The car was set up just right. I saw Adam (Taylor) running the high side, but I stuck with my line and it worked. I have to thank my Grandpa Bill who was here to see me win. It’s special.”
Two cautions, one on lap 8 and one on lap 10 kept erasing Wilke’s large advantage. Wilke and Taylor battled side by side briefly following the last restart midway through the main. Wilke stuck to his line while Taylor got caught in the berm allowing Wilke to pull away.
Tyler Kuxhouse oended up earning the Behling Racing Equipment Hard Charger honor improving 7 positions to edge out Taylor for second.
Taylor held on to third edging out a fast-finishing Tim Cox, who came across fourth. Jimmy Sivia improved 7 spots as well taking fifth.
