CRYDERMAN
TAKES FLAG TO FLAG LM WIN AT PROCTOR
By Jerry O'Brien 6-27-04 Proctor, MN
Joel Cryderman of Thunder Bay won the 20 lap
WISSOTA Late Model feature at the Proctor Speedway Sunday night
June 27th. Starting from the pole, Cryderman out dragged front
row mate Harry Hanson into the first turn and survived two
caution flags to take the flag to flag victory. Hanson tried the
outside in the third turn in an effort to steal the win from
Cryderman but Cryderman was too strong off the bottom and opened
up a car length on the straights. Cloquet's Mike Meger turned in
a strong run to finish third with Tim McMann and Kevin Carlson
rounding out the top five.
Monty Hall pulled off a last corner pass on
race long leader Kelly Checkalski to take the WISSOTA Midwest
Modified main event. The event was marred by two caution flags,
the first for the spin of Dan Wheeler in turn two. The second
was a prolonged stoppage when Loren Inman jr's drive shaft came
out. It took rescue workers several minutes to remove Inman who
reportedly suffered an upper leg injury. He was taken to the
hospital and no word was available on his condition at press
time. Troy Jordan, Justin Jones and Nick Lavato were the top
finishers.
The WISSOTA Modified feature got off to a
shaky start as pole sitter Clint Larson was deemed to have
jumped the start and was set back to the second row. The next
time was better with the now pole sitter Jodi Olson taking the
lead only to spin in front of the field in turn four essentially
giving Larson back his pole position. The restart saw outside
front row starter Jeff Lien take the lead over Larson with sixth
starting Jeff Wood threading the needle to grab third. Dave Mass
and Darrell Nelson were fourth and fifth. The first of two
caution flags flew when Nelson was bunted by Jason Miller and
spun in turn one. Lien led at the green with Wood taking second
from Larson as Nelson and Mass continued their battle. The final
caution flew when Mark Johnson stalled on the front stretch. At
the restart Wood got the jump on Lien and took the lead with
Larson third. Nelson got inside Larson for third then took
second from Lien as wood swept across the finish line for the
win. Lien, Larson and Mass finished in that order.
It took three tries to get a full lap in in
the WISSOTA Super Stock 15 lap feature. Rick Rivord started on
the pole and had to fend off Jay Kuras, John Copp, Ryan Aho and
Scott Lawrence in the early going. It soon became apparent that
the bottom groove was going to be the only way around. Lawrence
tried his favorite high side but there was nothing there, by the
time he was able to get back in line there he was 9th and was
not a factor the rest of the way. Rivord held off Kuras for his
second straight feature win at the speedway. Aho, Copp and Dave
Mass finished in that order.
Rob Monahan won the Pure Stock feature from
the outside of the front row after a battle with Tim Carlson for
several laps. Carlson faded in the waning laps to finish 8th.
Jim McClellan finished second while Stacy McKinnon drove a
steady race from 8th to finish third. Rick Wilhelm and Scott
Larsen rounded out the top five.
