WILMOT, Wis. — One new feature winner and three duplicate main winners highlighted the Wilmot Raceway traditional Car Load & Fireworks Independence Day Holiday Spectacular Night on July 1.
Nick Simons scored his first 20-lap Modified feature win of the season. Simons overtook early race leader Joel Seegert nine laps from the finish in the non-stop main event.
Simons was able to work some lapped traffic and pull away to the win. Mike Simons, Nick’s younger brother, finished second. Seegert was third. Joel Crowbridge finished fourth with Chris Carlson finishing fifth.
“I have to thank my sponsors, crew, but this win is dedicated to my mom (Terry Simons) who underwent her last chemo therapy this past week to beat cancer twice,” said an emotional Nick Simons as he was joined in victory lane by both of his parents. “This win is very special and it is for her.”
Rob Maule won his second 20-lap Street Stock feature of the season in a hotly contested battle which involved as many as three and four cars going for the top spot for a while. Â
Jimmy Sivia won his second 20-lap CK Contractors/AutoMeter Wisconsin Wingless Sprints feature of the season.
Ryan Johnson charged into the lead from the front row and was never challenged despite battling some lapped traffic and two cautions toward the end of the Bandit 4-Cylinder Stock Car 20-lap feature.
