Bradwell By Inches At SCVR June 22
The following excerpt was taken from the official race report at SCVR.
Easily the biggest thrill of the night came courtesy of the Sterling Bank UMSS Traditional Sprint cars. "Hurricane" Katrina Sautbine and Denny Stordahl started on the front row and battled all race long with Kevin Bradwell for the win. Just past halfway, Bradwell looped his sprinter, bringing out the caution. It didn’t take long for The Rocketman to work back to the front and stalk Stordahl and Sautbine, who were still locked in their spirited duel for the trophy. After the white flag waved, Bradwell continued his search for a path to the front and squeezed through a low-side opening on the final corner. The trio of Sautbine, who led every lap, Stordahl and Bradwell came to the double checkers in three-wide formation to the gasps and delight of the crowd. By mere inches, Bradwell edged to the exciting win over Sautbine and Stordahl. Tom Porter was the final runner as Jack Clark and Lucas Milz left with mechanical woes.
This Friday, June 29, the wait is finally over! The highly anticipated Jack Links Open Wheel Nationals/Kouba Memorial Race arrives at The Valley. UMSS winged Sprint cars will headline the extravaganza and chase after a $2000 winner’s check. Three other fenderless classes will also be on hand, including open modifieds racing for $1500 to win, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds vying for $750 and the UMSS Traditional Sprints are motoring after a $500 top prize. Additional details for these or any other future events at St. Croix Valley Raceway can be found on the track’s website, www.scvraceway.com.
