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.
