Wi Dirt Racin

(Francis Creek, WI)- In 2014, Mike Mullen started on the pole for the 50 lap, $10,000 to win IMCA Modified Feature. There were rumblings that there was no passing and that all he did was stay out in front of the field. Mullen put that to rest as he proved why he is one of the top IMCA Modified drivers in the nation. Mullen started 14th on the field and picked up his second straight Clash at the Creek win.

Brandon Czarapata put his racer into victory lane in the IMCA Stockcars to top the division on night two of the Clash.

Kelsy Hayes put on a dominating performance in the IMCA Sportmod Feature as she earned her fourth straight win.

Johnny Whitman grabbed the lead early on in the IMCA Modified Main Event and put his distance on the field. Shawn Kilgore worked his way from his sixth starting spot to the runner-up position as the first caution flag flew on lap eight. On the restart, Kilgore powered up on top of the circle and made the bid for the lead. Kilgore and Whitman would have a power struggle up top as they would exchange the lead numerous times over the first half of the race. With the lead duo battling hard, Russ Reinwald was brought into the picture to make it a three car race. Reinwald caught the leaders and made the race a three-wide battle on lap 28. Kilgore would grab the lead for himself as they made their way into lapped traffic. A final caution on lap 37 allowed the field to bunch up for a final run to the checkered flag. Mike Mullen and Jeff Taylor made the race up front a five car battle when the race resumed. Mike Mullen picked his way around both Reinwald and Whitman. He set his sights on Kilgore and had all the open air he needed down low. With Kilgore working the top, Mullen ran the shortest way around the track. Mullen shot into the lead with six laps remaining and never looked back. He captured his second straight Clash at the Creek win. Mullen won his last chance qualifier to make the show. He ran to the win after starting 14th. Kilgore edged out Reinwald for second place money. Jeff Taylor settled home in fourth after starting 12th. Whitman rounded out the top five.

Brandon Czarapata showed everyone why he is still king of the IMCA Stockcar division at night #2 of the Clash. Czarapata started on the pole of the feature event and lead every lap en route to his $750 payday. Czarapata advanced out in front of the likes of John Heinz and Rod Snellenberger and never looked back. The only bump in the road was a lone caution with six laps remaining. Czarapata took care of business on the restart and pulled away for the win. Heinz came home second after winning night #1. Snellenberger ran to third place money with Kyle Frederick fourth. Jon Courchaine finished fifth.

Kelsy Hayes had a little easier run to the IMCA Sportmod Feature win. After being wrecked on the final lap on night #1 she came back strong and picked up another $500. The win capped off a perfect two night performance which netted Hayes $1000. Hayes started on the outside pole and pulled away from the field. At the halfway point of the race she had built up a straightaway lead. When the white flag came out, Hayes saw the only yellow flag of the race. The green, white, checker finish was nothing for the leader. She won the race in front of Tracy Wassenberg, Cody Schroeder, Scott Boyea and Race VanPay.
