JASON ZDROIK COVERED SWANSON, AHO TO COP $1,000 EAGLE RIVER B MOD VICTORY

(EAGLE RIVER, WI) June 27 – Former track champion Jason Zdroik of Eagle River slipped past Wausau’s Scott Swanson with four laps to go and went onto capture the $1,000 B mod feature win at Eagle River Speedway Tuesday.

 

Zdroik started the 20-lap contest from the 4^th spot and for much of the early going remained in third trailing defending track champion Jesse Aho and the early race leader Scott Swanson, who jumped into the lead at the drop of the green.

 

Zdroik took over the lead on lap 16. After Zdroik took the white flag, a caution flew for a Dave Dishaw spin in turn four. Per track rules dictated because the leader had taken the white flag the race was ruled completed. Swanson netted second place, followed by Aho, Wyatt Block and Jake Stai rounding out the top five.

 

It was another Zdroik – Austin Zdroik – who would pick up a flag-to-flag, caution free late model feature win.

 

Hometown driver David Blackberg sprinted from his pole position at the drop of the green and was never headed. The defending champion won his third stock car feature of the season.

 

Tomahawk’s Trevor Schumann swept action in the pure stocks, winning both the heat and feature race. Sugar Camp’s Jason Eisel pulled off the same fete in the street stock division.

 

Escanaba, Michigan’s Chase Richer scored a near half-lap margin victory in the 600 micro sprint feature.

 

Capturing the 300 micro features were Rhinelander’s Blake Joslin and Marshfield’s Madisyn Dieringer, respectively.

 

Merrill’s Matt Eder captured the Dairyland Vintage feature.

 

Action was red flagged in the pure stock heat when Derek Posto collided with another car, sending Posto’s racer rolling up the track and landing on his roof adjacent to the turn three wall. Posto emerged unhurt but was otherwise shaken up.

 

Weekly racing will resume on Tuesday, July 4. The IMCA stock cars will be featured with a $1,500 top prize on the line on the Mark Zdroik Memorial race. A fireworks display will also be a part of the program. The first green flag flies at 7:30 p.m. For further information fans are advised to check the track’s Facebook page.
