RICHARDS, RICHARDS, GRACYALNY & DALBECK AMONG EAGLE RIVER SPEEDWAY WINNERS

(EAGLE RIVER, WI) August 30, 2025 – Montello’s Jeff Richards led every lap, and went on to capture the grand national feature win at Eagle River Speedway Saturday.

Trailing at the checkers were Jake Richards, Brad Weiss, Mavrick Ruh and Jack Wiroll who took second through fifth, respectively.

Meanwhile Jeff’s brother Kenny Richards grabbed the lead around the event’s halfway mark and dodged a number of caution periods to win the IMCA stock car feature. Former track champion Rod Snellenberger of Pulaski charged through the field, getting up to second place with four circuits remaining. In those waning laps, Snellenberger and third place finisher Dustin White mounted a late race surge but wound up placing second and third at the pay window, respectively.

Tucker Bodendorfer and Jason Zdroik rounded out the top five finishers.

Arguably one of the most thrilling feature events took place in the street stock class. Veteran pilot Danny Gracyalny of Greenville fought off a tenacious challenge all race long from Auburndale’s Kyle Genett. Genett tried both the high and low lines to get past the pesky leader Gracyalny, to no avail. Throughout multiple caution flags, Gracyalny hung on for the win. Genett settled for second place. Jeff Richards took third, with a pair of Upper Peninsula visiting racers Neil Aaberg (Escanaba) and Brayden Lundquist (Bark River) grabbing the fourth and fifth positions in the final running order.

Wakefield, Michigan’s George Dalbeck whisked past leader Shane Bahr of Greenville on lap eight using the high line and cruised to victory in the B mod feature. Antigo’s Zack McKinnon mounted a late race charge, but came up short, finishing second. Dustin White took third, with Bahr placing fourth and Dan Jung rounding out the top five.

2025 USRA late model track champion Lucas Peterson of Stockholm sprinted into the lead at the drop of the green, and went on to lead every lap en route to winning that division’s feature.

Pewaukee’s Jacob Zimmerman led wire-to-wire, and dodged a handful of caution periods to capture the 600 micro sprint feature.

The 300 micro sprint features were won by Sheboygan’s Hunter Launer (Pro) and Rubicon’s Chase Zdroik (Semi-Pro). Both contests went caution free.

A total of 123 drivers representing Wisconsin and Michigan took part in the track’s final event for 2025.

This was the final event for the 2025 season at Eagle River Speedway. Track promoters Pat and Patti Zdroik Zdroik want to thank all of the drivers, fans, sponsors and track employees for another successful season!
