Simons Rules Wilmot Modifieds

WILMOT, Wis. — Two clean sweeps, two two-time feature winners, a new winner for this season and three track qualifying records in time trials highlighted the only race track in the Wisconsin area to hold a program on Saturday at Wilmot Raceway.

Mike Simons took the lead from early pacesetter Brad McGuire of New Berlin with 13 laps remaining in the 20-lap modified feature.  A pair of late cautions kept erasing the three-time Wilmot track champion’s lead, but M. Simons was up to the challenge as he scored his second main event win in a row.  

Chris Carlson was second, followed by Timothy Warner, David Wirth and Joel Crowbridge.  

Jimmy Sivia captured his second 20-lap AutoMeter/Brewington Electric Wisconsin WingLESS Sprints feature out of three Wilmot starts this season. Sivia used the inside line along the front straightaway to overtake Calyton Rossmann, who had held the front point until five laps were remaining as the pair worked lapped traffic.

One lap later a hard double-flip by Mike Sullivan and Tommy Colburn in turn one resulted in a red flag.  

Sivia maintained the lead to the win despite a fast-closing Tim Cox, who ended up second. Rossmann took third. 

James Jaime captured the 12-lap street stock feature for his second career main event win in a row at Wilmot leading wire to wire. Cody Potter finished a close second. 

Ryan Johnson became the third different Bandit 4-Cylinder Stock Car main event winner in as many outings for the class this season. 

Johnson held the lead from start to finish in the non-stop 15-lap main.  Dale Ehleiter was second.
