Past Champions and Clean Sweeps at PDTR

Vintage stock cars were parked behind the grandstands for spectator’s enjoyment and PDTR recognized past champions during intermission. Clean Sweep is when a driver wins his heat and A-Main event.

Johnsonville Sausage Late Models rumbled out first with Russ Scheffler and Tim Buhler setting the pace for 25 laps. Scheffler shot out into the lead over Buhler while Brad Mueller was trying to hold off Mitch McGrath for third. Buhler was passed a few laps in by Mueller on the outside. Eric Michaels left to the attention of his pit crew and was unable to return. Mueller then put his sights on Scheffler for the lead and passed him on the outside on lap 13. McGrath caught Scheffler and looked to his inside before Scheffler charged back into second. Lap 20 Mueller is working his way past lapped traffic allowing McGrath to slide past Scheffler for second. Crossing the checkers first with a clean sweep for the evening was Brad Mueller, few car lengths back was Mitch McGrath (Waukesha), Russ Scheffler (Waukesha), Jim Schmidt (Cleveland) and Tim Buhler (Glenbeulah). Hard charger passing 4 cars was Jim Schmidt. (Misfortunes in the late model class from the previous night, plus two scratches from earlier evening activities resulted in lower division count this evening.)
Heat Winners: Brad Mueller (Random Lake) and Brian Gilles

Pokorski guided the field until the only caution waved for Rusty Egan having trouble on the backstretch and retiring to the pits for the evening.
