JODY BELLEFEUILLE WINS FIRST CAREER MODIFIED FEATURE
Hanson Again In AMSOIL WISSOTA Dirt Racing Series/Fon-Du-Luth Casino Late Models

Jody Bellefeuille of Duluth win his first ever AMSOIL WISSOTA Dirt Racing Series
Modified feature Sunday night at the Proctor Speedway. Bellefeuille got the jump on
the pack at the green flag from the outside of the second row and fended off multi time track champion Darrell Nelson for the win. Marc Johnson led early from the outside of the front row but Bellefeuille made his move early and quickly raced to a near straight away lead while the pack sorted themselves out behind.

Darrell Nelson and Kelly Estey the two battling for the points championship started deep in the 16 car field back in row four. Those two worked themselves up into the second and third spots with Nelson running second. Bellefeuille was administering a spanking to the field and led to the half way point by a straight away in the 20 lap event when the first caution flag for a Jeff Ruzich spin flew.

Bellefeuille was equal to the task as he used the high groove to hold off Jeff Wood who made a pass on Nelson for second but Jim Inman went off turn one and apparently rolled his #27. He was uninjured in the incident and actually drove the car back to the pits. At the green Bellefeuille again raced off to the lead while Nelson and Estey got by Wood and battled again fro second which Nelson took over. Bellefeuille's huge lead again disappeared when Nick Nelson brought out the final caution again bringing Darrell Nelson to his back bumper with seven circuits to go. For the last few laps the battle for the lead was intense but Bellefeuille's car was stronger than Nelson's where it counted, off turn four. Nelson could run even and perhaps a little bit ahead off turn two and down the backstretch but Bellefeuille was fastest off the fourth turn which gave him the popular win. Darrell Nelson, Estey; Justin Jones from the fifth row and Wood finished in the top five.

A week previous Harry Hanson and Late Model Rookie Kyle Peterlin staged a great battle in the 25 lap feature with the veteran Hanson taking the win by inches. This time the battle for the lead was between the same two drivers but this time Hanson got by Peterlin early and won by several car lengths. Veteran racer Tim McMann got the jump at the outset from the front row and led the first couple of circuits until Peterlin was able to slip by bringing Hanson along with him. Each time Peterlin was able to put several car lengths on the pursuing Hanson a caution flag would put Hanson back in it. With 15 laps to go Hanson got by into the lead and pulled a way to a decisive victory. Peterlin, Jeff Provinzino, Todd Gehl and Danny Young rounded out the top five.

Ryan Aho won his fifth AMSOIL WISSOTA Dirt Racing Series feature Sunday night at the Proctor Speedway. The start of the 20 lap feature was delayed twice by wrecks but the third time was the charm as Super Stock rookie driver Kevin Eder shot through from row two to lead to the ten lap mark despite two caution flags and a real scramble up front for the lead. Aho was moving up into the battle from the fourth row as the competition fell away with a variety of problems. The final caution flag of the event was for the leader as Eder spun himself out of the lead giving it over to the second running Aho. Aho held off first time visitor Jimmy Gullikson, Eric Nelson, Jay Kintner and outside front row starter Tom Treviranus in the front five.

The AMSOIL WISSOTA Dirt Racing Series Midwest Modifed 20 lap event got off to a rough start as it took a couple of shots to get a green flag lap in, Cory Jorgenson was looking for his second feature win of the season and led from the outside of the front row early on but fell by the wayside late in the race. Skeeter Estey started from the outside of row three and soon worked his way to the lead after yet another caution flag with five circuits complete. Estey moved out to a five car length lead leaving Nick Lavato, Jorgenson and Barry Smith to battle for second. Estey was in control and began to lap cars but Jorgenson pulled off the back stretch and out of the race as Estey's lead was gone. The time limit clock was ticking as the race resumed and Estey led the rest of the way for his second win of the season. Lavato, Smith, pole sitter Taylor Leuthner and ClintL larson finished in the top five.

Glen Dammer got the jump from the outside of the second row looking for his third Curtis Tire & Oil Pure Stock feature of the season. Two caution flags marred the 15 lap event, one for a tangle between Richard Dzelak and Isaac Hudson and one right after for at angle between Alli Kresal and Scott Larsen. LaRae Ralidak the first female to win a feature at the speedway made another gutsy move to get into the second spot as from there on back a cluster of cars appeared to be an accident going somewhere to happen as there was much bumping in the tight nine car pack. There was even a four wide run through the third and fourth turn with everyone making it through. When the smoke cleared Dammer had his third win and Ralidak was second. Rounding out the top five were Tony Ciurleo, Al Rapp and Jon McKinnon.
