Miller time at Eagle River Speedway

Rhinelander's Dustin and Brandon Miller won their respective features at Eagle River Speedway on Tuesday Night. However it was Dustin's win in the Pure Stock Feature that may be considered one of the closest finishes in the 35 year history of this popular third mile tri-oval.

Eagle River's Ryan Valeria and Miller were in a bumper-to-bumper race throughout the feature. On the final turn, Valeria took the 'high groove,' while Miller went on the inside. Both cars actually looked to be even at the finish line. Valeria and Miller then sat on the infield right before the Auto Value Victory Lane to see who the officials would give the victory too. The officials gave the win to Miller.

Miller went into the night with 567 points, while Ontonagon, Michigan's, Ryan Huff had 566. Both Miller and Huff won their Heat Races. Then in the feature, Huff hit the wall in the third corner knocking him out of the race.

Brandon Miller won the Sport Fours Feature, holding off Manitowish Waters, Phil Malouf. Bruce Crossing's Logan Lannett only needed to keep his car on the track to coming close to clinching the Sport Four Points Championship with two races left in the season.

In the Junior Sprints, Antigo's Tanner Resch and Race Gunderson went into the night with 262 points. Gunderson won the Heat race, but Resch won the Feature. Tanner's 'older' brother, 11 year-old, Robby, won the Micro Sprint 600 Feature.

The WISSOTA Street Stock Points Champion the past three years, Hurley's John Kallas, went into the night trailing Eagle River's Ben Pitlik by 16 points. Pitlik extended his lead to 18 points by taking a second in the Heat race, while Kallas took a fourth. In the feature Kallas got those two points back by winning the Feature. Pitlik took a second in the feature.

In the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, last years Point Champion, Eagle River's Jason Zdroik had a narrow 5 point lead over the Upper Peninsula's Jesse Aho going into the feature. Zdroik went on to win the Feature, with Aho holding off Three Lakes, Chad Boetcher, for 2nd place. This gives Zdroik a 7 point lead over Aho.

This coming Tuesday Night will be the final Tuesday Night of racing at Eagle River Speedway. The 2010 Points Championship will be on Sunday Night, September 5th.
