ATTENTION SPORTS/MOTORSPORTS – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WHITE, FRISKE, SNELLENBERGER & EISEL SCORE EAGLE RIVER FEATURE WINS
(EAGLE RIVER, WI) July 16– Many of the same faces that found victory lane a week ago returned to the winners circle again Tuesday night at Eagle River Speedway.
Among those drivers who earned back-to-back feature wins at the third-mile, clay oval were Eagle River’s Dustin White (B mods), Pulaski’s Rod Snellenberger (IMCA stock car), Tomahawk’s Zack Friske (ERS late model) and Eagle River’s Mason Meier (300 micro sprint).
Friske fended off a late race charge from Jason Zdroik in the waning laps to collect his second straight late model feature. Zdroik settled for second at the pay window, followed by Travis Friske, Jesse Aho and Josh Nevoraski.
Same as a week ago, White scrapped for the top spot of the B mod feature in the early going with Michigan ace Dave Dishaw. After a mid race spin Dishaw recovered to place fourth after storming through the field in the second half of the contest. 2023 rookie-of-the-year Ryan Brown of Eagle River placed second followed by another Michigander Kory Joliff. Shawano’s Tommy Rindt rounded out the top five finishers.
Snellenberger whisked past Jordan Kurtti for the lead at the halfway point and kept the lead on a lap 11 restart to scored another IMCA stock car feature win on the year here. Hometown driver Jonathan Miller finished second, followed by Jordan Kurtti, Jesse Krahn and Jason Zdroik.
Sugar Camp’s Hope Eisel grabbed the lead in the street stock feature with just a handful of laps remaining to score the win.
Prentice’s Brent Mindock scored a clean sweep in the pure stock class.
Meier snagged the lead on lap one and never looked back and won the 300 micro pro feature. With his heat win earlier Meier netted yet another clean sweep on the season.
Rookie Blake Joslin of Rhinelander executed a last lap pass to win his first career 600 micro sprint feature. The race went green to checkered without a caution.
In semi pro 300 micro action the feature win went to Addison Dishaw of Ontonagon, Michigan. Like Meier, Dishaw also scored a clean sweep with an earlier heat win.
Our next event will be another “Saturday night special” July 20 with the Badger Midgets from the Badger Midget Auto Racing Association (BMARA) making their first appearance at Eagle River Speedway in more than 40 years. Joining the midgets on the Saturday night special will be B modifieds, 300 and 600 micro sprints along with the Eagle River Speedway late models. Saturday’s action kicks off at 6:00 p.m. For further information fans are advised to check the track’s Facebook page.
