Lincoln, Ill. (June 12) – Mitch Wissmiller started the $1,000 to win Outlaw Wingless Sprint Car feature on pole and thirty laps later, found himself in victory lane. Wissmiller earned the pole by virtue of his Dash win and led every lap. Pekin, Ill. veteran Manny Rockhold piloted the Boles sprinter to a runner-up finish. The cagy veteran avoided near disaster after jumping the cushion near the race’s two-thirds mark. Korey Weyent, Dale Christian, and A. J. Bruns rounded out the top five. The Outlaw Wingless Sprint field grew to 27, prompting B&H Promotions to leave the winners’ share at $1,000 when they return in two weeks. Matt Dobey and Josh Goode each took separate wild rides in preliminary action. Dobey was cleared at the track, while Goode was transported to the hospital. Goode was released later in the evening.
Todd Kirkland scored his second win of 2005 in thrilling fashion during the 20-lap UMP Modified feature. Kirkland watched Kelly Kovski ride the cushion as he battled pole starter Doug Hobbs, who was committed to the low line of the ¼-mile fairgrounds oval. As the trio entered the final corner, Kirkland found traction between the two leaders and won the battle to the start/finish line for the popular win. Brian Lynn moved from twelfth to fourth in the final rundown, while Marty Hiser finished in fifth.
Jeremy Nichols and Terry Miller paced the field in the 15-lap Street Stock finale. The duo raced along side one another until Miller lost traction and nearly spun the car. Miller fell back to seventh and cautiously worked back to second, but ran out of laps as Nichols entered victory lane for the first time. John Farris completed a strong run in third, while Chris Tackett and Kevin Skelton followed across the line.
Christopher Massey dominated the 15-lap 600cc Outlaw Mini Sprint feature. The Clinton, Ill. youngster racked up his ninth career race win at Lincoln. Ryan Jones finished in the runner-up position, while Nathan Charron, Austin Jones, and Lucas Sprague had top five runs.
J. R. Eskew won a wild 15-lapper in the Wild Thing division. It was Eskew’s second win in a row and fourth this season. Bob Sanders was the bridesmaid, while Eric Keymon, Matt Turley, and Jonathan Schuck ended the event in the top five.
The next event at Lincoln will feature Late Models as the headliner. UMP Modifieds, 600cc Outlaw Mini Sprints, Street Stocks, and Wild Things will complete the card.
