Jorgenson took a close second.

The Wissota Late Models put 21 cars on the grid with Tim Lemirande taking charge for the first 5 laps before A.J. Diemel took the inside line and the lead on lap 6. Diemel checked out and left the battle for the runner up spot for the rest of the non stop event. Lemirande, Chris Carlson, Luke Roffers and Ron Berna kept close and had a tight battle to the finish. Diemels run to his first feature win this season was easy except the final lap when a pair of lapped cars almost caught the leader, but A.J. wove through and collected the win. Roffers won the battle for second with Lemirande and Berna next in line. Defending track champion, Tim Buhler caught Carlson on the final lap for 5^th putting Carlson 6^th.

Aaron Melchert set the pace for the first 7 laps of the Street Stock main with David Hoerning taking charge on lap 8. Hoerning started to pull away a bit before a lone caution slowed the field on lap 14.

This erased Hoernings lead and put the point leaders right back into contention, after fighting through traffic until this point. Melchert, Wiitala, Harley Simon, Brian Koch, Mike Pierrard and Don Lecker were right behind for the restart.

Hoerning was able to hold a couple length lead for the final 6 laps, but the battle for second stayed close. Point leader, Wiitala came through to take the second place finish with Simon, Pierrard, Koch and Lecker rounding out the top six.

Steve Frees led the opening lap of the IMCA Stock Car main with Brandon Czarapata pulling into the top spot on lap 2. Jesse Colwell, Jamie Colwell, Jason Czarapata, Kyle Fredrick and Rod Snellenberger were running tight behind as the leader started to open a slight lead. Czarapata was holding the lead with the group behind really battling for second. Czarapata was leading on lap 10 and suddenly pulled high and off the track leaving the 6 car pack to now battle for the lead. Fredrick was now leading with Colwell, Jason Czarapata, Snellenberger, Larry Karcz, Jr and Chaz Van Ooyen behind. On lap 14, Colwell pulled inside of the leader and ran side by side for several laps before moving into the top spot on lap 18. Colwell held on to win his first feature here since July 8, 2003. In the flash for second, Czarapata got the nod for runner up with Karcz slipping into third, Fredrick 4^th, Van Ooyen fifth and Jesse Colwell sixth.

Joel Schmit led the opening 2 circuits of the Budweiser IUMCA Modified main before Jared Siefert snuck by. Scott Mullen, Brian Drexler, and point leader Dan Deau pulled into line over the next couple laps to chase the leader.

Several cautions kept the field bunched and the fight for the lead tight. Mullen got along side of the leader about mid race but Siefert regained control when Drexler occupied Mullens time running for second. Drexler was able to take over the runner up spot on lap 12 and chased Siefert to his second feature win of the season. Mullen was 3^rd with Deau holding the point lead, taking 4^th. Mike Klenz and Travis Spaulding rounded out the top six.

Abe Farley and Justin Arneson each led one of the opening two laps of the 4 Cylinder main before Matt Maleport took over and led until a couple cautions slowed the race on lap 5. On a restart, Maleport had a wheel break off his car turning the top spot to Dan Daoust. Daoust led easily until D.J. Jorgenson started pressuring with 5 laps left. The pair ran the second last lap side by side and looked like a photo finish until a lapped car forced Jorgenson to get off the gas a second, which allowed Daoust the run to his first career feature win. Jorgenson took a close second with Kevin Birr, Eric Pinkowski, Greg Banker and Mark Krause round out the top six.

Racing continues every Sunday through Labor Day.
