For the second consecutive week gloomy skies welcomed both racers and fans to the Kenosha County Fair’s Wilmot Raceway on May 28, however as like the week prior the skies cleared as the night went on and everyone was treated to some outstanding racing action. On a near perfect track, Mike Kertscher topped Mike Reinke, Bill Balog, Billy Hafemann, and Donny Goeden in the 30 lap Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series headline event. Thirty-one regional touring teams signed in for the IRA portion with Kertscher going home $2,200 richer.
Jason Hyerdall topped a charging Chris Carlson to pick up the Sevcik Motorsports hardware in the Don’s Auto Parts & Machine Modified feature event. Joel Crowbridge, Mike Simons, and Brad Norgaard completed a very competitive top five. A very nice field of 25 Mods signed in.
Rob Maule captured a well deserved win in the RA Adams Enterprises Street Stock division. Rob topped Pat Rossman, Dustin Richards, Joe Brenner, and defending track champion AJ Hedges. Twenty-four Street Stocks were on hand.
Eighty cars and nice crowd came out to Wilmot Raceway Saturday night despite another gloomy May day, and a poor weather forecast. Conditions were right however to produce a very fast clay oval and fans were treated to some extremely fast Wilmot speeds.
