(EAGLE RIVER, WI) May 30 – Former track champion Jesse Aho of Twin Lakes, Michigan took the lead and the drop of the green and never surrendered the top spot and went on to win the opening night B mod feature at Eagle River Speedway Tuesday.
The race went caution free without a yellow.
Twin Lakes, Michigan driver Jesse Aho scored the opening night B Mod win at Eagle River Speedway Sunday.
One of Aho’s biggest obstacles was weaving through lapped cars.

Division rookie Dave Dishaw of Ontanogon, Michigan placed fourth while Irma’s Travis Friske took fifth.
Hometown driver Jason Zdroik won the ERS late model feature.

Phillips’ Roger Walker captured the Pure Stock feature.
Phillips Roger Walker emerged triumphant in the pure stock feature while Sugar Camp rookie Russell Klein swept the 600 micro division.
The 300 micro sprint features were won by Twin Lake, Michigan’s Cooper Aho and Tomahawk’s Kaeden Bethel.
