Two RaceChaser-area drivers picked up some good money for their feature wins on Saturday night.
Hickson, N.D., driver Tyler Peterson won the Advantage RV Mod Tour feature at Greenbush Race Park and took him $1,500 for the win. The 1TPO machine has found its groove: since June 9 when he switched to Wissota, Peterson has four wins and six top five finishes.
Peterson also won an Advantage RV Tour Mod race at Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen. The interesting thing? Both wins came in Peterson's first visit to those tracks.
Mike Greseth of Harwood also had a good run at Greenbush taking fifth. Dan Ebert of Lake Shore was second.
Also at Greenbush, Ryan Johnson of Karlstad topped John Halvorson of Warren for the Wissota Street win. Chase Boen of Karlstad was second.
Also picking up a big win in the modifieds Blake Jegtvig of Hawley. He picked up $2,026 for winning the second annual Bob Gierke Memorial at Viking Speedway in Alexandria. Jegtvig, who started on the outside pole, has not had a typical year for him as this was only his second win, but the big paycheck certainly should boost his season.
Danny Bayer of Elrosa, Dustin Bitzan of Brandon, Brady Gerdes of Villard and Josh Thoennes rounded out the top five. A total of 26 mods signed in.
Don Shaw of Ham Lake won the Wissota Late Model feature from the outside pole and took home $1,226. Cole Schill of Horace was second, Ryan Mikkelson of Alexandria third, Casey Meyer of Wahpeton fourth and Shawn Meyer of Wahpeton fifth.
The late model feature saw veteran Jeff Wildung of Nassau roll his #50 machine on the infield wall of the front stretch. He was ok, which is the good news, the bad news is the car took a major beating. Thanks to Mason Eisenzimmer for the video of Wildung's crash below:
Justin Froemming of Alexandria topped Shane Howell of Buffalo for the Wissota Midwest Modified win at Viking. Travis Engebretson was third, Brock Gronwold fourth and Ryan Gierke, who started 17th, finished fifth.
Froemming earned $1,026 for the win.
A total of 67 cars competed in three classes at Viking. The race was in honor of Bob Gierke, a long-time Villard-area racer who passed away from a heart attack in 2017. The Gierke family and sponsors raise money for the expanded purse for the event.
