MILLER, NELSON, MASS, INMAN PROCTOR SPEEDWAY FEATURE WINNERS
Thompson Still Perfect In Pure Stocks

By Jerry O'Brien 6-13-04 

Proctor, MN - Darrell Nelson Jason Miller and Dave Mass won their respective feature events as did Terry Inman for his first career Midwest Modified feature victory.  Willy Thompson stayed perfect in the Proctor Pure Stock division sweeping his heat and the feature for the second straight week. 

Steve Roseen of Proctor sat on the pole for the 20 lap WISSOTA Late Model feature behind the wheel of the Johnny Johnson owned number 31R flanked by Kevin Carlson.  Roseen took an early lead over Darrell Nelson, Harry Hanson, Carlson and Paul Wrazidlo.  Nelson took the lead but Kevin Mudrak spun in turn three to bring out the first of three caution flags. 

Roseen retained the lead at the green with Hanson passing Nelson for second.  Hanson and Nelson got past Roseen and battled for the lead before Nelson took over for good as the second caution flag flew for a John Massingill spin in turn two. A couple of laps later the final caution flag appeared when a marker tire was knocked out onto the track in turn four. Nelson was the winner over Hanson, Roseen, Wrazidlo and Carlson in the top five. 

The WISSOTA Modified feature was a spin and crash filled affair that saw a total of seven caution flags in the 20 lap event.  It took four tries before a lap could be completed and Jason Miller would finally lead that lap after coming from the second row to the lead.  Miller held on to the lead through four more slow downs one of which saw his closest competition, veteran Kelly Estey, make a rare mistake causing him to spin down the front stretch. 

Miller held off Darrell Nelson and Steve Arpin both of whom came from the fourth row to finish second and third.  Jeff Wood had another nice run from ninth to finish fourth while Cory Jorgenson was fifth after Tyler Hynes weighed in under minimum weight in post race inspection. 

The 15 lap Super Stock feature racers seemed to take their queue from the preceding Modified event as they produced a total of eight caution flags.  Between all the stoppages there was some fierce competition at the head of the field between Dave Mass, Scott Lawrence, Rick Rivord, Nick Musel, Ryan Aho, Al Uotinen and Paul Schultz. Of these top drivers only Mass, who was the eventual winner, Rivord who was runner up and Schultz were in the top five at the finish.  

Mike Bellefeuille who started fifteenth and finished third and pole sitter Keith Kern were in the top five. Kern was shuffled back out of the top ten quickly but a combination of good driving and attrition landed him in the fourth spot.  Aho rebounded from a flat tire to finish ninth while Lawrence spun while attempting to pass Mass for the lead in the late going and could only muster a 14th place finish. 

The Midwest Modifieds were on their best behavior until the final circuit of their 15 lap main event.  Mark Kangas led Terry Inman, Tim Brown, Dan Wheeler and Mark Anderson in a spirited battle for the lead in the early going with Inman grabbing the lead and pulling away.  At the half way mark it was a break away for Inman with Brown, Wheeler, Kangas and Anderson in that order.  Inman went on to take his first Midwest Modified career win over Anderson, Wheeler, Greg Chesley up from 12th and Nick Lavato in the top five. 

Jim McClellan and Scott Larsen paced the Pure Stock field to the green flag in an event that would see a single caution flag.  Larsen and McClellan battled for the point for several laps wheel to wheel before Larsen would take the lead and began to pull away.  Willy Thompson worked his way to third and stayed close to McClellan as Larsen extended his lead the caution flag flew for the only time in the event closing McClellan up to Larsen's back bumper. Larsen led at the restart but Thompson got past McClellan to second and grabbed the lead away from Larsen. Thompson finished the sweep over Larson, a fast moving Todd Monahan, McClellan and Tim Carlson in the top five.
