Lavato, Campbell Win First Career Features
By Jerry O'Brien - 06/26/2005

Joel Cryderman of Thunder Bay Ontario dropped in on the Proctor Speedway and swept the action in the WISSOTA Late Models division with a heat win and a victory in the 20 lap main event. The early lead was taken by Jeff Provinzino from the outside of the front row with pole sitter Darrell Nelson slipping into second as Cryderman, John Massingill ans Tim McMann followed. Provinzino went sideways in turn two and Nelson could not avoid piling into him as Massingill spun to avoid the pileup and Cryderman shot through on the bottom. Provinzino was sent to the rear and apparently elected not to continue while Nelson attempted a restart missing the entire nose piece but soon dropped out. 

The wreck left Massingill at the point leading Cryderman, McMann Harry Hanson and Kelly Estey. Massingill led for a couple of laps but Cryderman took command with Harry Hanson through into second, McMann was third and Massingill fourth as Tom Nesbitt slipped into the top five from his 12th starting spot. The final caution flag flew for a tangle in the fourth turn involving George Ledin, Aaron Lillo and Carter Gerlach with Gerlach charged with the foul. At the green Cryderman fought off a charge by Hanson and McMann ans pulled away by about ten car lengths to take the win with Hanson, McMann, Nesbitt and Massingill in the top five. 

Darrell Nelson redrew the outside of the front row and was looking for a better showing in the Modified than he had in the WISSOTA Modified main event as he paced the field with pole sitter Rod Heitala. Nelson took the lead over Duane Dale with Jeff Wood, Matt Sorenson and Heitala who were three wide for third. Sorenson won the battle but it was a temporary thing as Kelly Estey who had started inside of the third row roared into third along with Jason Miller. Sorenson was fifth and Don Copp had moved from 11th to sixth. Nelson pulled away to a straight away lead but the field was brought back to his bumper when Heitala spun in turn three just as Copp's run ended and he dropped into the pits. At the green Nelson led Dale with Estey third, Miller fourth and Sorenson fifth. The final caution flag appeared when Sorenson's run ended with a spin and stall at the exit of turn four. With few laps remaining, Nelson led at the green flag with Estey to second and gaining as Miller got by Dale for fourth. Both closed on Nelson but it was too little too late as nelson won for the first time this season over Esty Miller, Dale and Jody Bellefeuille. 

Jim Campbell has been racing WISSOTA Super Stocks for five years and finally made it to the winners circle as he topped a stout field for his first career win. Campbell turned his pole position into the winning position as he took off at the green flag and led wire to wire in the caution free run. Donnie Lofdahl, Tim johnson, Destin Lorimor and Jeff Tardy tried their best to fit four wide for second for a couple of laps until Lofdahl was forced off turn four and lost several spots. Further back WISSOTA National point leader Ryan Aho and arch rival Scott Lawrence who had started in the sixth row were marching toward the front and were in sixth and eighth. As Campbell ran away from the field, Tardy settled into second with Johnson third and Lorimor fourth. Aho got Lorimor for fourth and Lawrence had to settle for sixth as Campbell took the win. 

Justin Jones the WISSOTA National point leader grabbed the early lead from the pole over Riley Mathews, Greg Chesly, Nick Lavato and Miles Weske. Jones pulled out to a strong lead with Chesley and the pair of nines, Lavato and Mathews giving chase as Al Kiminki eased into fifth. The half way point was quickly reached with Jones in command and leading Chesley, Lavato, Mathews and a fast moving Monte Hall who was up from 12th to fifth. Also making a strong move was Willie Thompson who had started 17th and was up to 7th. Jones looked to be on his way to an easy win but the scenario quickly changed when Jim Lowinski looped in turn two bringing out the caution flag. At the restart Lavato got a great jump and sailed past Chesley and Jones into the lead. This didn't last as next time by Weske, who appeared to have handling problems, spun in turn four bringing out the yellow flag and putting Lavato back to third. At the green Chesley got the jump on Jones but Lavato also got a great restart and the three battled down the back stretch and by the white flag. Lavato was able to get his first win over Chesley and Jones as Hall and Thompson finished in the top five. 

Skeeter Estey took the lead in the Pure Stock feature over Nick Baker, Rob Monahan and Jon McKinnon fifth. McKinnon, who had just returned to racing after a year off, was on a mission and quickly took the lead on the second go round with Estey five car lengths behind and five car lengths ahead of Baker and Monahan. The first caution flag flew for a bumper on the race track and at the half way point McKinnon led Estey, Baker and Dustin Lunde. At lap 12 of 15 Monahan and Lunde hooked up and both spun. Monahan was sent to the rear and Lunde was restore to his spot. McKinnon was comfortably in the lead as Lunde and Estey battled for second . McKinnon took the win while Lunde edged Estey for second. Point leader Jim McClellan was fourth and Cheryl Deloach was fifth.
