Record Car Count for Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Series

Saturday night June 3rd saw a record high 24 Wisconsin wingLESS Sprint Series presented by the IRA cars sign in for action at Wilmot Raceway. In qualifying Jordan Mattson, behind the wheel of the Lein Acres 2 machine, set a new track record with a time of 15.041. Previous record holder Doug Schenck would qualify 2nd, also breaking a record he created the previous week. Minnesota's Jake Kouba was 3rd followed by Tim Cox in 4th and Craig Campton in 5th.

Heat race 1 saw Cox, last week's feature winner, drive from his 3rd place starting position to the win. He would be followed across the line by Mattson. Nathan Crane would bring his 97 across in 3rd with Patrick Haynes in 4th. Derek Crane in the Peapod car would round out the top 5.
Heat 2 would be won from the 4th position by defending champion Doug Schenck. George Gaertner Jr. would charge from 6th position to 2nd ahead of Nick Petska. Chris Klemko would come home in 4th followed by Campton in 5th.
Allen Hafford utilized his 2nd place starting position in heat 3 to grab an early lead that he would carry all the way to a heat win. A pair of Koubas would finish 2nd and 3rd with Jimmy ahead of Jake. Jimmy Sivia would finish in 4th and 5th would go to Anna Hippe.

The B feature saw Dan Wade pick up the win, followed by Rod Colburn. Ryan Zielski brought his 21 home in 3rd followed by the 5 Star Firearms car of Garrett Deieso. Natalie Klemko would finish in the 5th and final transfer position. Colburn would then have a problem with his car and would not be able to start the A, giving the starting position to Shawn Swim.

The A main saw lots of action as Schenck drove from his 7th starting position to the lead. Mattson would position his 2 car in 2nd but as the race winded down the veteran Tim Cox would take his 48 car to the high side and start a charge through the field. A green white checkered restart saw Schenck lead followed by Mattson and Cox. Cox was able to utilize the high side to get around Mattson but as the checkered flag fell it was Schenck atop the podium with Cox in 2nd and point leader Mattson in 3rd. Jimmy Kouba finished in the 4th position and Allen Hafford rounded out the top 5. Derek Crane charged from his 15th starting position to 7 place, making him the hard charger.
