Joel Cryderman of Thunder Bay
Ontario was coming off a big AMSOIL Series win Tuesday and stopped
at the Superior Speedway Friday. The stop was worth it as
he drove off with the win.
Starting inside the second row, Cryderman wasted little time
taking the lead. Tyler
Keyser took the early lead but Cryderman was able to blow by to take
a lead that he would never relinquish. Though there were a total of four
caution flags, Cryderman was able to pull away each time.
Tom Nesbitt raced from the outside of the front row to run
second but fell to 7th starting Bill Byholm who finished second.
Nesbitt held on to third while Keyser and Todd
Gehl rounded out the top five. Gehl started deep in the field
and move forward for a top five finish.
At the green flag pole starter
Tyler Keyser took the lead over Tom Nesbitt but Joel Crydrman was on
the move grabbing the point with former team mate Steve Laursen
chasing him into second. With five laps in Laursen's #19 experienced
problems slowing drastically bringing out the first of four caution
flags.
At this point, a quarter of the
way in, the order was Cryderman, Keyser, Nesbitt, Byholm and Darrell
Nelson. The restart
lasted another lap before Ed Wakefield ended up into the first turn
wall and out of competition.
At the mid point Cryderman led
Nesbitt, Byholm, Darin Meierotto and Keyser with Nelson and Tim
McMann close behind. Quickly
moving through were Todd Gehl and Brady Smith to run eighth and
ninth.
Caution number three appeared
when Greg Hill's # 95 stalled on the front stretch and was narrowly
missed by several drivers. At the green flag Cryderman was in
complete control though Byholm had moved to second and was closing
on the leader.
With five laps to go the final
caution flag appeared when Roger Paolo and John Henkemeyer tangled
in turn four. The restart saw Cryderman pull away to the win worth
$1300 while Gehl pulled into a fifth place finish.
Mike Bellefeuille, Duluth was the
WISSOTA Super Stock feature winner over Scott Lawrence and Randy
Thomas. Thomas led from
the outset but fell to Scott Lawrence who, in turn, fell to the
streaking Bellefeuille.
Three caution flags marred the 15
lap action but at the finish it was Bellefeuille, Lawrence , Thomas,
Ryan Rivord and Dale Gangl in the top five.
Gangl started the event in 14th spot.
Bob Root, Washburn, moved up to challenge leader and outside
pole sitter Jason Miller for the lead. Root dived to the inside of
Miller in the fourth turn and they clashed wheels. Miller turned
sideways but made a great save as the pack scattered behind him.
He recovered control to run 6th and held on for a
fifth place finish. Pole
sitter Scott Hudack was third while Jeff Hart came home fourth.
Tom Brust of Rice Lake, WI swept
the Street Stock action in the final feature of the evening.
Keith Tourville finished second.
Front row starter Marshall Andrews ran second for several
laps before mechanical gremlins sidelined him leaving brother Lou to
carry the family team
which he did finishing a strong third.
Trevor Wilson and Scott Lawrence rounded out the top five.
Lawrence was driving his old car for the injured Scott
Herrick.
