After qualifying second fastest to fellow rookie contender Brandon Sheppard at LaSalle Speedway last night, Ryan Unzicker finished second in his heat race to Dennis Erb Jr. But second place was not good enough for him in the $2000 to win main event. Starting on the pole of the feature after the top two in each heat redrew for their starting positions, Unzicker commanded the lead until the closing laps when Erb Jr. decided he wanted to lead for a few laps. The two then continued to swap the lead back and forth until the final lap when Unzicker crossed the line first and took home the top prize.
More excitement was taking place throughout the field as Brandon Sheppard who started third and Jason Feger who started fourth both went to the back of the field for separate reasons. Sheppard hit one of the infield tires in the early laps of the feature and worked his way back up to a respectable seventh place finish. After the "highside hustler" went a little too high and suffered a flat right rear, his crew managed to do a quick pit stop, send him back out and watch as he picked off cars one by one to finish in his original fourth place starting position.
Following Unzicker and Erb across the line in the feature were Eric Smith, Feger, Daren Friedman, Kevin Weaver, Sheppard, Frank Heckenast Jr., Mike Provenzano and Joe Harlan.
Heat race winners were:
Sheppard Car Crushing Heat Race 1: Brandon Sheppard
Douglas Pontiac GMC Dodge Heat Race 2: Dennis Erb Jr.
Indy Pic-A-Part Heat Race 3: Jason Feger
Semi-feature winner was Jayme Zidar.
The MMS continues on to Farmer City Raceway tonight with gates opening at 5:00, hot laps at 6:30 and qualifying at 7:00.
