DISHAW SWEEPS EAGLE RIVER B MODS

(EAGLE RIVER, WI) Aug. 15 – Ontonagon, Michigan’s Dave Dishaw sprinted into the lead from his pole position and fought off defending champion Jesse Aho in the closing laps to collect the B mod feature win at Eagle River Speedway Tuesday.

With his heat win earlier in the night Dishaw earned a sweep for the evening. The race was slowed by a caution on lap four when a four-car tangle eliminated the cars of Jason Zdroik and Kory Joliff. When racing resumed Dishaw checked out only to have Aho thread his way through traffic in the final six laps to close the gap on Dishaw. Dishaw took the checkers with Aho settling for runnerup money. Veteran Beetle Bailey posted his best finish of the season in third. Austin Zdroik and Dan Melton placed fourth and fifth, respectively.

Jason Zdroik picked up a caution free victory in the late model feature earlier in the evening.
